LETS SLOW THINGS DOWN AS WE ADD TORTOISES - Planet Zoo Console Sandbox Zoo

[@sparrow838_]

That train station is BEAUTIFUL, great job Welfare! I hope the tortoises are happy in their new enclosure. If you don't want to use rocks near the track where they can escape, you could use some sort of foliage that isn't traversable-saltwort would fit in with the creosote bushes, or you could sink elephant grass under the ground like with the peafowl.

[@IronMatty]

Oi! Never mind great job welfare! I did it all - he just did the maintenance shed, I did all the hard work lol (I’m only joking dw) thanks so much sparrow

[@VonOutlaw]

The issue with the enrichment could also be because you're using the wrong enrichment items. Not all animals will use the same enrichment items, that's why you want to filter it out for that particular animal so that way you only see those particular enrichment items when you're working on their habitat.

[@IronMatty]

i do filter the items, they do have the right things

[@Dexsasaurus]

No little changes there! You revamped the whole hippo enclosure and the train. Gotta say, it does look so much better now. Great executive decision!👍🏾 The tortoises always have stress if you don't use the one-way glass, but totally understand that you are done changing that out. Nothing is worse or more irritating than one of your favorite games keep lagging out. So definitely change the settings so that your awesome zoo works as smooth as possible. Hopefully Frontier fixes these problems asap. Do agree with Welfare tho, he had the best chill spot. He's definitely thinking outside of the box😉 Another great vid Matty, keep it up✌🏾🦖

[@IronMatty]

thanks so much dex

[@AprilAyden]

You can put the keep quiet signs around the tortoise enclosure and that will help with their stress levels 👍🏻😊

[@IronMatty]

oh wow, i never actually thought of that! Thats great advice thank you April

[@jelly4861]

Their enrichment goes down when there’s more animals in the exhibit just because they want more for the amount in so they all can play with them

[@IronMatty]

i found this out after getting rid of loads of the warthogs lol

[@dannybaars8663]

I know why the otter was so happy...no woman whining haha...but all joking aside...I enjoy your building skills and, the park really looks great...

[@IronMatty]

hahahaha my wife even laughed at this comment

[@c0ldsore_0mg]

Really coming together matty. Love it!

[@IronMatty]

cheers coldsore, i really appreciate that bud

[@MarcelPerkowski]

Yeah fr

[@AprilAyden]

I made my tortoise encloser so guests could walk through it using the guest gates and it worked out really well!

[@IronMatty]

oh that sounds really cool!

[@danhodson7187]

Looks so good, Matty. I love the whole train station area, brilliant stuff! Your enrichment for Warthogs has nosedived because they've had lots of babies. Now there is more strain on the amount of food enrichment required with more mouths to feed. I've had the same issues with my Lion enclosures where my male and his hareem of ladies were at 100% food enrichment easily. Once there were a dozen or so cubs running around it was down to about 15% meaning I had to double and even triple up on food enrichment items. If you trade out some of the surplus adults, you can also get that number back up without adding more food items.

[@IronMatty]

thanks dan, yeah once i traded some out the enrichment went back up again

[@kreek1065]

Love the train station! And if those settings work for you, do it.

[@IronMatty]

thanks so much kreek

[@choppedworms23]

It’s nice to see someone else getting phantom animal escapee notifications!! 😂 The Lemurs breed like wildfire too. I put 8 in my enclosure and before I knew it there was literally 40 of them running around in there and I had to take some out. The train looks phenomenal, all the foliage around the station and the new enclosure is spot on. I’ve yet to tackle a train in my park as it terrifies me 😂 Thanks for the path correction tip too, my paths were glitching bad, now is much better.

[@IronMatty]

thanks so much chopped!

[@greggarave8214]

IMO, the updated hippo enclosure looks way better than the one from the last episode. To be honest, I didn’t feel like the original design was up to your normal standards. Great work and thanks for another great episode!

[@IronMatty]

i couldnt agree more! It really wasnt great lol, in the next episode i spent about 5 hours building an enclosure and then scrapped the whole thing as it wasnt good enough lol

[@alexanderhutse4340]

Very nice video. This zoo looks so good. If the settings are necessary to change because otherwise we have ugly and bold enclosure it’s better to play with easier settings but have a beautiful build I think. Otherwise sometimes in our zoo (real life ) some enclosures are very empty. For me I love this serie and cant have enough of your videos. It’s giving me so much inspiration (I can't build myself yet - but helps me build every day better stuff. )

[@IronMatty]

thanks so much alex, i really appreciate that

[@Aaron.schnauzer1234]

I love the train, its so well made, good job welfare! The planting in the tortoise habitat is gorgeous and you might as well turn off some of the settings, it makes the game more creative. For the other side of the train station i think you should add the aardvark or the pangolin, they don’t need lots of space and they’re cute. Another shout is a red panda.

[@IronMatty]

Great job welfare? Excuse me lol - he did the maintenance shed only, I did the rest 🤣🤣 thanks so much Aaron

[@Aaron.schnauzer1234]

Oh i mist of heard it wrong, but it was so nice well done!

[@VonOutlaw]

For the tortoises which you want is the one-way mirror so that way they don't see all the guests looking at them that's what's stressing them out

[@IronMatty]

i know, i said in the video about this but because i built a custom barrier i couldnt do that, im not too concerned though and just turned off the stress lol

[@willemgorman6134]

On the other side of the station, barrier of a part of the lake and put flamingos there!

[@IronMatty]

ive already put platypus there lol

[@willemgorman6134]

@@IronMatty Ok were you aiming for realism because platypus are hardly ever in zoos

[@IronMatty]

@@willemgorman6134 not particularly - with being my first ever zoo I’m just winging it

[@mixelmusprime5275]

Considering you're a big fan of the taiga rocks, how would you feel about making an enclosure for the Alpine ibex which are found in rocky taiga mountains?

[@IronMatty]

i have considered that i must admit, if i have room i may do that!

[@MarcelPerkowski]

Yes I was waiting for this

[@IronMatty]

I hope you enjoyed it

[@michaelbuncy441]

If you end up with the tortoises trying to hide, try one way glass

[@IronMatty]

id built a custom barrier unfortunate so i couldnt do that so just turned off the stress lol

[@KikiR1908]

Looking great 👌🏼

[@IronMatty]

Thanks so much Kiri

[@JamesRichardson28]

Great video i started with them tortoises ended up with so many babies only just got rid of them lol

[@IronMatty]

hahaha they do breed quickly!

[@VonOutlaw]

You could try unlimited the number of people that can attend your zoo, that way the AI isn't focused on all of those people and how they need to get around.

[@IronMatty]

Can’t limit the guest number on zoo console unfortunately

[@pandaamonium89]

Amazing work by both you and welfare! Also, is there any chance you could put the train station on the workshop?

[@IronMatty]

im not sure ill be able to with the design of it, ill try but no promises

[@weylynroryraaphorst8747]

In episode 19 u should add artic foxes and maybe a cave system so you xan see them??

[@IronMatty]

im not planning on having any snow animals in this zoo but i have plans for a future zoo with more arctic animals

[@bluemoonedits4u]

matty maybe at some point we could get some tutorials, your really good at building and i need some lessons from you 😅

[@IronMatty]

i am starting a mini series doing tutorial style videos

[@Kingpin_2058]

Prepare for stress with those tortoises!

[@IronMatty]

touch wood so far they havnt been too bad

[@AprilAyden]

I always get the messages about staff not being able to reach feeders they have reached before and the enclosures being too small!! So annoying!!

[@IronMatty]

ikr! its driving me insane, hopefully gets fixed soon!

[@MadMattzYT]

Hey matty I was just curious as someone trying to start a planet zoo series how you edit your videos? (Which App and stuff)

[@IronMatty]

I don’t own a PC so I do all of my videos on my PS5. All the filming, editing and uploading is all done on a PS using the share factory. The only thing I don’t do on console is the thumbnails and I use an app for that

[@MadMattzYT]

@@IronMatty ok thanks!

[@Rushplays4829]

Hey Matt you know in the San Diego zoo they have cameras you could do that to make it more realistic

[@IronMatty]

I’m not sure what u mean I’m sorry?

[@Rushplays4829]

To where like people at home can look at the cameras live to where the lemurs enclose will have a camera so people can watch the live camera maybe that could be later in the series

[@Hybrid.Dezine]

@@Rushplays4829This feature is currently broken and doesn’t work, hopefully an update can fix it

[@mattap-hp5ug]

Love u videos matt with this coming out sunday instead of monday are we getting a extra video tomorrow ? 😘

[@IronMatty]

hahaha yes (but not a lets play video)

[@razorfall9623]

The reason the enrichment was low is bc the are getting bored with the items

[@IronMatty]

i didnt even know that was a thing!

[@BLUEBOXGAMINGUK]

Will you be doing Planet Zoo spotlights Matty?

[@IronMatty]

yes - already have my first zoo lined up for next week

[@BLUEBOXGAMINGUK]

@@IronMatty looking forward to seeing it 👍🏻

[@AprilAyden]

They get bored of enrichment so you have to change them up regularly annoyingly

[@IronMatty]

ok that is annoying! Ill bear that in mind thank you
