Playing Zoo Tycoon: MARINE MANIA Today?

[@xionkuriyama5697]

I am so so happy to see Zoo Tycoon 1 suddenly blowing up on KZbin. This was the game that made me get into video games as a kid. I miss those days, man.

[@Tytar]

Same! The game is so loved, it really doesn't deserve to fade away! I'm happy to cover it and I hope you're enjoying the coverage of it!

[@MichaelfromtheGraves]

Every minute of him not finding the tank filter is grueling

[@Tytar]

believe me, I really regret not knowing this until AFTER I hit upload. 😅

[@alvinhatzasoesedyono289]

You forgot the Tank Filter.

[@juliamavroidi8601]

Waterfilters! You need to install waterfilters for each enclosure! 😬 Dayum, I kept hoping you would notice sooner or later, but you didn't. Felt sorry for those jellyfish. Also other sit down resraurant, like the Rainforest Restaurant for example should also sate both thirst and hunger. If you click on a building, on the bottom it will show icons of what is sold there. Any building that sells both a food and drink item will do the job. Generally it's not that good of an idea to place the food and drinks to close to the entrance, as guests have all their needs fulfilled when they enter the park, so they won't use those stalls as much. Better to place them in the back where people van get to them after already having spent some time in the zoo. On the exit of the show areas in Marine Mania is also a good place for food and drinks (and toilets). Sorry but I don't feel like you'll be able to turn a profit in Dinosaur Digs 😅 It's way harder than the other two. Those dinosaurs are a fastidious bunch and have a tendency to break out. Don't cheap out on the fencing!

[@Tytar]

I got another comment telling me about water filters so now I'm like, shoot, I could've pulled this off 😆 Thanks for the tips on the restaurants, locations of them, etc! Perhaps your comment will get featured in the Dino video. 🧐 If anything, for failing to turn a profit in these last two games, I deserve the hardest challenge of them all as the finale! I do remember them being super picky about everything as a kid...Reading the last part of your comment did get me a little worried though..Ngl.. haha 😳

Tank filters unlock after 6 in-game months (30 minutes of gameplay)

A fun little easter egg is that, while not having a star, the lion's mane jellyfish actually can do shows too! They can only swim up and down, though lmao

Loved seeing my name floating around that fish tank🙂 Also loving the Zoo Tycoon videos. You should try naming some of the animals the names of your patreon supports, that could be fun.

[@Tytar]

ooo! Thats a great idea! I might just have to do that for the finale!! (Dinosaur Digs) Love reading your comments, Im glad you enjoyed this one 🙂

[@ponyproductionsfilms]

Flitters are needed. I use to forget about it too when I was still young enough to play this.

[@92lilah]

I started playing Zoo tycoon again a few days ago and I found your videos while searching around for tips, really enjoying the series and I'm glad to see my childhood game coming alive again :')

[@Tytar]

That makes me so happy to hear! I'm glad you found the channel and the series too. :) I have some really awesome things coming in the dinosaur digs upload and a few other awesome videos on the way that I hope you enjoy as well. :)

@@Tytar I'm excited to see!

[@jacobwegener8561]

I'm very happy to be able to install this version of the game! You must be playing Zoo Tycoon Complete Collection cause I see you have the Atlantis path and Tankwalls!!

[@amelahasic9595]

I am playing this game actively and I'm on the Marine Mania scenarios and the Swim Shack generates a LOT of money. I also found out that if you pick up a guest while they're swimming and put them back (if you have the buoys to mark the borders on where they can swim and they can't get out) they DROWN. THEY PASS AWAY. I was shocked.

[@Tytar]

Wait, WHAT?! That's a thing?! Thanks so much for sharing! Seriously! I hope others read this because that's crazy! I wish I captured that for this video! XD I hope you check out the Dino Digs upload coming soon, I have some crazy stuff planned for that one!

[@strawberrylemonadelioness]

The feature to let guests swim is really cool, I didn't know about it

[@pro-dragongamer5704]

You can buy a tank filter to keep the tank clean I think

[@Tytar]

Seriously?! Jeesh I wish I would've known that during the playthrough haha

[@HB-fh3ev]

​@Tytar tbf you would have if you'd done the tutorial 😂

[@brycevo]

Welcome to Sea World. That's awesome

[@ztfreak]

Any restaurants will take care of all of the guests' needs. In addition to that they don't produce trash, so you won't need as many maintenance workers.

[@ztfreak]

Marine Specialist Training 1 also speeds up all future marine research, which the game doesn't explain.

[@ztfreak]

Orcas fart when they're angry.

[@ztfreak]

You're starving your bottlenose dolphins and orcas by not having an exhibit tank for them.

[@ztfreak]

How to make a profitable zoo: Don't make the exhibits that big: big exhibits are expensive to build, harder to navigate for staff and will generally increase the distance guests will have to walk to get to places. Don't let guests walk long distances to get to animals / buildings. I generally assign one single staff member to 3-5 exhibits. Use restaurants instead of food/drink stands, restrooms, benches and trash cans. Spread them around the zoo, because redundancy of having two restaurants close to each other is inefficient. Carousel, animal theatre, animatronic theatre, dinosaur cinema, elephant ride, etc. are buildings that make money, in ZT your primary source of income is via guest accommodations. A compost building generates 50 dollar for every cleaned poop, 100 if it is dinosaur poop, marine animals do not benefit from the compost building effect. The compost building effect does not stack, so having one is enough. for Dinosaur Digs: DRT bases cost 2000 per month, but you can manually pick up escaped dinosaurs. Don't pay the extra 2000 per month. Dinosaurs are expensive. I'd go for a combination of regular animals and dinosaurs. Electrified fences lower the happiness of whoever touches them, goes for both guests and animals. You can keep big dinosaurs in by building a moat of water terrain on the outside of the exhibit or using elevation to keep them in. It should not be a problem for staff (except tour guides) to traverse cliffs.

[@ztfreak]

Foliage clustering is a technique to optimise the amount of foliage that you can place in an exhibit before the animals start showing sad faces. The amount of foliage is not what makes the animals show happy/sad faces. It's the amount of tiles in the exhibit that have foliage. This is not a full or the most accurate description of how the game mechanics work but it is a simple explanation which helps to understand foliage clustering. So how foliage clustering works is: you place four 0.5 x 0.5 sized foliage on a single tile, in order to maximise the amount of foliage in an exhibit. You can toggle show/hide grid with the hotkey Ctrl + G, this makes it easier to cluster foliage.

[@danielalvarez8729]

To help improve the cleanliness of your aquariums, you need filtration systems. The game does sell that to you.

[@ahhleee5137]

Literally been wanting to play these games SO BAD lately after getting Zoo Tycoon on the Xbox 😭 so wack. Can’t even build your own exhibits. I was obsessed with this game and putting guests in the tanks 🥹😭😂😂 love this video!!

[@Tytar]

Whaaaaat?! You can put guests in tanks?! Man that would've been awesome to capture for this video!! Thanks for sharing, seriously! I'm bummed I missed that! I'm really happy you loved this video. The stuff I'm planning for the Dinosaur Digs video is insane. Stick around, I know you're gonna love it. :)

[@eoau]

Dude that random fart sound at 7:28 killed me... I have no clue what that was from lmao I don't remember ever hearing it before

[@Tytar]

In all my years playing this I had never heard it either. 😆 It was so random, like, why did they even add this to the game? Some one told me it was the Orca's when they get unhappy, but why did they have to add a fart sound for that? 😆😆

[@eoau]

@@Tytar LOL i just looked in the game's sound files, there is indeed a file called "fart.wav" inside the Orca's file ahahaha wtf

[@Tytar]

@@eoau It is so unnecessary to have that in the game 😆

[@Nomanjj]

This is the charm I love about the games in the old series as well as old PC games in general despite the graphics that companies go for these days they focused on details and mechanics.

[@Tytar]

I totally agree. It seems game companies have traded charm for graphics, and I'm not a huge fan that they've done that.

Jelly fish shoot sperm and eggs into the sea they fertilize each other and then they fall to the ground and form plant like growths called polyps that slowly grow and go through metamorphosis splitting apart and Turning into several jellyfish

You need the filter machine for the aquarium!😂

[@Tytar]

lol I made a big mistake haha

[@theewhitemantaray]

Planet Zoo I the newest one, and it's overwhelmingly realistic. You can build your own buildings, piece by piece. I love it haha

[@theewhitemantaray]

Also, show tanks are ment to be temporary tanks. You can connect regular tanks to it. I use to make one large show tank with every show animal in seperate tanks connected to it. Thus show after show would occur in the show tank, ramping up revenue.

[@Tytar]

Yea Im far less experienced with Planet Zoo! I had so many ZT players recommending it though! I have 1 upload on the channel about it. It's where I build a zoo in the sky haha

[@Ullis9312]

We have our own fish tank! I laughed when everything went bad, imagined me being a fish swimming around in dirt while you tried to figure out how to install filters

[@Tytar]

Haha!! I was hoping you would enjoy that! I loved reading your comment. 🙂 Im so bummed, Im reading all these comments about filters and I cant believe I never knew! haha! At the start of the game when the marine specialist said they were cleaning the tank I assumed thats what it meant, they clean tanks! They do, but they arent very effective! lol

[@thomaswetzel6796]

Their is a thing in the fence section called a filter it slows down the process of dirty fish tanks

[@Tytar]

Yea...unfortunately I learned about that after this video was made! It made me sad I didn't know

[@cristhianmlr]

10:27 well, it was not a DLC back in the day since you could only get it physical.

[@Tytar]

Yea...I loosely call it a DLC but really it's more of a physical expansion pack. I'm just so used to calling things DLCs these days. The old days with physical expansions were much better, as evidenced by these playthroughs!

Always purchase legally if you can, but the game is abandoned now. Use anti-virus software to make sure you are downloading a safe file, but many commenters have reported this has worked just fine for them! I hope you can play soon!

How do you get this game

[@Tytar]

I still own the discs. Otherwise, because the game is abandoned, you can go to Google and search: Zoo Tycoon 2001 ROM download. Because the game is abandoned, doing it this way is deemed 'ok'. If it was available for purchase, I'd say go and purchase it. Once you download the file safely from a source you deem trustworthy, you can open the file, it should be a .iso file. If you have Windows 10, it should open up the contents of the .iso file, you'll find all the Zoo Tycoon files inside. All you have to do at that point is find the Autorun.exe or find the ZooTycoon.exe file and installs just fine! This is assuming you have Windows 10. Hopefully this helps!

[@catsi563]

So basics. Filters fpr tanks they require maintence but they clean the tanks regularly and with a marine specialists help keep the tanks clean which makes the animals and guests happier and keeps the animals healthy mainteence workers fix the filters as well as normal duties Animals like different tank depths and such you can raise the tank but also lower the depth of the exhibit to insure both. Restaurants cover all basica guest needs including hunger thirst and rest and are very economical Show tanks and animals a show tank should be built in a central locaton so that guests can be close by when a show begins and thus see it ie pay money to see the show, after building the show tank you can and should build your show animals exhibits and connect them to the show tank they can have easy access to the show remember that show animals are NOT in their designated tanks so they arent happy. and they get less happy the more frequently the shows happen. and yeah the Great white show is awesome 😺
