Starter habitats for beginner players | Planet Zoo Console Edition

[@olddangfool]

I'm not a console player, but I used Swan's starters a lot! when I was beginning. If nothing else, I enjoyed breaking the starter down to see how they are constructed, so I can make my own.

[@MarcelPerkowski]

Yeah

[@PlasticSwans]

Great idea! Using blueprints to figure out how someone else has built something really helps. Console players are getting vastly improved starter habitats since I'm implementing everything I've learnt in how to build them over the last 4 years!

[@ebony3221]

I'm looking forward to be able to do this. I play on console with my controller, but I've also played with my mouse and keyboard hooked up. I'm a horrible builder, but I love just attempting to try my own or pulling builds apart in sandbox mode to see if I can recreate it.

​@@PlasticSwansplastic swans your my favourite you tuber and I have a question please can you make a otter enclosure because I try and I can't do it 😢😢

[@BcGamer1010]

I'm console

[@megsjaco]

these are incredible!!!! thank you so much for your hard work! i can’t wait to try some out!

[@Scitch-et4vk]

Thank you so much for these i use them all and they are perfect ❤

[@ebony3221]

Thank you so much! Going to look for them in the workshop

[@bizzaremermaid4205]

As an overwhelmed console player, thank you for your service, i did happen to run into a couple on my own before ive seen this.

[@kimokatthekitten5951]

Hey Plastic Swans! I use your Starter set on PC and I love it! I do have a minor issue with any of the habitats with water, it's *very* difficult to work with but thanks to one of your fix videos, I was able to fix this.

[@sanneweber2542]

I have almost a full zoo with your habitat's love them! Just edit the lion's one a bit please (they escape and my guests all run away) XD

[@SlayKage81]

You are the best!!! Love your channel and your videos truly helped me out

[@amyford2971]

Thanks so much for these. I’m sure to be using several as I struggle with the building side of things.

[@smith9808]

I’ve used the wolf one yesterday, not knowing it came from you 😅 Just found your channel, going to look on your workshop now, thanks!!

[@PlasticSwans]

You're welcome! Enjoy the habitats :) Feel free to let me know if any have issues. I know I've accidentally attached a keeper hut to the flamingo one 🙄 Haven't had a chance to go in and fix that yet

[@snoredizzle3242]

YOUR ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT, THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR CONSISTENT CONTENT!

[@the.aardvark]

I love them so much! Maybe I should try building an entire zoo out of the basic non-themed pieces, sounds like a fun challenge

[@CoachHarriman]

YO!!! Seriously this was a lifesaver! I appreciate your content. ❤

[@chrisbroxton2813]

Just found your videos. These are so good and helpful for a new player like me!

[@danhodson7187]

Absolutely amazing stuff! I’ve just got the game for PS5 and it blows my mind what you pro’s can come up with 😅

[@wout123100]

fantastic, i will use them. thanks a lot.

[@ckm5702]

Can't wait to use these myself

[@Indominator50]

I would like to say 3 things. You forgot to add the tasmanian devil to your every animal franchise zoo. You will also have put all the Eurasia pack animals in the zoo too. Finally when is the every animal franchise zoo gonna appear in the workshop because we've been waiting for months?

[@PlasticSwans]

Please try to keep comments relevant to the video as it might get confusing for people viewing this for console. In terms of Every Animal Zoo, I haven't got to the Tasmanian devil yet, there's still about 10 animals to go. Yep, the Eurasia animals will be coming too. It won't be on the workshop until it's complete, so another couple months probably

[@Indominator50]

@@PlasticSwans okay I'm fine with that, thanks for the news and keep working on those amazing videos.

[@ladonnababione-nf2yv]

Love your vids I don’t have the game myself so I just watch other people play but I can’t find people that I like to watch much but you make it so entertaining love it keep up the good work

[@MarcelPerkowski]

[@PlasticSwans]

Much appreciated!

[@czynx3196]

Thanks for all these. I'd downloaded them without realising they were yours! One problem I have, I keep getting the error "terrain modification failed" when I try to place them.

[@PlasticSwans]

This tutorial I made on that error should help you out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jaKndIt_fJKNarc

[@edenmoon8275]

I love your habitats!

[@taras8124]

I have tons of locked blueprints now that I was able to use at console launch. Its strange too because one of them is just a basic rock cave lol. I just dislike having to build caves for career mode lol.

[@PlasticSwans]

Yes, this was an oversight on the console version that they fixed in the last update. Blueprints containing items that need to be researched by the mechanic or vet will show up locked. Now that it's working as intended, I need to go back and check all of my starter habitats to make sure they're working as intended!

[@bland525k]

Love the video..but im confused about 1 thing.. I just got the game and was playing around with it. I disabled the collisions ao i can put rocks together) and put stuff in the ground but it atill wont let me.. Am i missong something?? Also it wont even let me. Hange terrain. Its greyed out

[@PlasticSwans]

The button for stopping it aligning with surface is a bit broken at times. I have to hit it a number of times before it works properly

[@philDAsull]

Hi your tutorials are really helping me understand the game especially the starter habitats. just wondering with the timber wolf habitat is the gate ment to be elevated. Keep up the great videos 👍

[@PlasticSwans]

For this one, yes I have the gate elevated at the back. You could place it at ground level, but the front will have a huge drop for that

[@tt-bj6nz]

🎉🎉 she posted🎉🎉

[@chrisnorvelle9201]

I have added all of your habitats for console. There are quite a few that show up locked when trying to drop them in for some reason. Help?

[@PlasticSwans]

I think it's the barrier type that's keeping some locked. The bengal tiger habitat has a glass barrier which I can't change because of where the water sits in the habitat (mistake on my part) and a few I've used concrete barrier, which does need research to use. I'm going to go back and change this so that they're useable right away

[@SoumyaBasu-rw5op]

Early Plastic swans, I love your crazy content, especially all the races Pin pls?❤

[@alienraven]

these look great,one thing that annoys me when building habitats of my own, is that knowere in the zoopedia (at least as far as i can tell) does it telll you the exact terrain, plant and temperature requirements for each animal. This annoys me, cus i like to plan ahead and get the enclosure completly finished before the animal goes in.

[@PlasticSwans]

Yeah, I think the temperature issue is an oversight. We get temperature information in the zoopedia on the PC version. For plants etc. unfortunately it's guesswork until you put the animal in!

[@GradmanFarms717]

How do I access the workshop to get these awesome habitats?

[@smashinghappydays]

Are these on ps5 or Xbox? No one seems to release the workshops between ps5 and Xbox are separate and not shared

[@PlasticSwans]

I had no idea the workshops weren't shared between consoles! These are PS5 since that's what I own

[@bengorillachristiandude6438]

How do you access these habitats?

[@JessClarke-s6z]

Hi Love your work! Your videos have really helped! How do I download your habitats on a console? Thanks x

[@PlasticSwans]

You can download from the Frontier Workshop, which you can get to from the game main screen

[@EvanBlyde]

Do you know how to give the animals custom names on Xbox edition?

[@PlasticSwans]

You can rename animals by selecting the name, that's R3 button for PS5 but not sure what that is on Xbox. You cannot however rename animals in franchise mode. I think it's to do with the profanity filters, they've decided to just prevent us renaming them in that mode.

[@MarcelPerkowski]

This helps so much

[@SamuelLawton-y8s]

So we just go into the ingame store and download yea? Imma try it later. Games so complicated.

[@PlasticSwans]

Yep, in the main game screen, in the bottom right corner there's a tab for 'Frontier Workshop'. You can download blueprints from here.

[@Dhanush-rf7qt]

Please teach us more. As a console player, i find difficulties

[@PlasticSwans]

Slowly working my way through some of the challenging aspects of gameplay that I can help with

[@jb1344]

Please make blueprints of all these hard shelters, I’m sick of my caves😂

[@PlasticSwans]

Haha, yeah great idea!

[@Dmob1995]

What do I search in the workshop to find your items?

[@PlasticSwans]

I don't think there's a way to search from the Frontier Workshop unfortunately. You need to find one of the habitats under the habitats tag, and you can select my name from within there and it'll take you to my profile which has the full collection in there

[@hannahpinocci813]

Your formosan black bear habitat is locked for me :(

[@PlasticSwans]

I'm working on a fix. It's because I've used the concrete barrier, so will be locked until the barrier is researched. Poor decision on my part, I can create the barrier out of concrete scenery pieces

[@hannahpinocci813]

@@PlasticSwans I appreciate all the work you're putting in!

[@Don.Miguel.]

More console videos please 😊

[@PlasticSwans]

Current set-up means the PS5 is packed away for a while unfortunately. Will be a couple of months before I'm back to the usual one

[@yardentrimboli]

hey swans i would be quite suprised if you see this comment but, ive been play planet zoo console for 2 months now and its very addictive but my habitats for all my animals are quite bad and unfortunetly looks really bad it would be really cool if you could use some of your really good habitats into blue prints so that it can help me and probably many others

[@jessica.m.brooks]

Pretty sure I did something wrong. My giraffes escaped almost immediately lol.

[@PlasticSwans]

Oh dear! Which habitat did you use? I haven't got to building a giraffe habitat yet, so whichever one it is, they have long legs so might've just stepped right over the fence 😂

[@jessica.m.brooks]

@@PlasticSwans hahaha probably so! I can't remember who created it tbh I'd have to look. I used your ghariel habitat though and it's been working out great!!

[@NexRadf5]

What console are you on? Im using a PS5 and have horrible lagging. Any thoughts?

[@PlasticSwans]

PS5. None of my zoos are lagging too much yet, but using the camera for footage I did notice some frame drops. I am constantly disconnecting in the franchise mode and have had a few crashes too

[@ladonnababione-nf2yv]
