Starting an Authentic Australian Area in Franchise Mode! | San Bernardino Zoo | Planet Zoo

As a aussie its honestly so refreshing to hear you talk about other biomes aside from the outback cause Australia really is just so diverse with environments (even in the outback

[@ZSHplays]

If you spot anything I get wrong or can see any room for improvement let me know my brother from down under! I've not been to Australia myself but my girlfriend has and she loved it!

[@validark]

Oh absolutely! Some places i think could be good inspiration (just from my home state of vic) are Fairy Dell, Lower Glenelg National Park, Croajingolong National Park, Towerhill wildlife reserve, Buchan caves, Healesville sanctuary, You yangs regional park, agnes falls scenic reserve, ramrod creek, sassafras creek nature conservation reserve and tarra-bulga national park

[@allamalana]

My fiancé and one of our best friends get together once a week to watch your newest video with dinner to start our "night to watch all our show's newest episodes" night. Lol It's become this tiny, cozy tradition! Keep it up! And thank you 😂🤗

[@ZSHplays]

That's awesome! Thanks for sharing. I feel like I need to make hour long episodes so you have more to watch 😆

[@BaconHairFish]

Australia is my all time favorite continent when it comes to nature and wildlife and native culture and I’m so glad we’re finally to this area of the zoo!

[@ZSHplays]

Great to hear!

[@keeganbreytenbach2957]

Blue mountains bush boy excited to see more then just out back even though it’s a really cool biome

[@ZSHplays]

Hope you like it!

[@jenniferatterton1587]

I really enjoy watching all the little tricks you use to create such wondrous details, ZH. I'm an Aussie also and agree with Validark, we have all sorts of biomes here in Australia from deserts to the most lush tropical areas and to see you making such an effort with our country's unique animals, thank you.

[@ZSHplays]

Hope I can do it justice!

[@jenniferatterton1587]

I've no doubt you will. I will be closely awaiting to watch what you come up with next. If you are looking for inspiration look at Monarto Safari Park, as you have before and Adelaide Zoological Gardens, as well as Warrawong Wildlife sanctuary, Gorge Wildlife Park and Cleland Conservation Park.

[@jenniferatterton1587]

These places are in South Australia

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks!

[@Langharig_Tuig]

As always, wonderful! It feels weird to think that not too long ago I had no idea who ZSHplays is, never seen a video. For some reason the first episode of this series got recommended to me and now everytime after work I sit down with an easy meal and watch this. It's become genuinely something that brightens my spirit after a long week.

[@ZSHplays]

Love to hear that, thanks!

[@rexyjp1237]

Fun fact: there are 7 million red foxes in australia. They where put there by european settlers wanting to do fox hunting with dogs as sport (kinda common at that momemt in time) The foxes escaped and bred.

[@ZSHplays]

Wow! Australia has had such trouble with introduced species, did not know that about the foxes, thanks for the info!

[@Edward-uu3uc]

This entrance is so cool, it’s modern but with Australian features in it. I’m so looking forward to the habitats in this area

[@deborahrice1371]

Loving this zoo. Everytime you come up with more clever ideas how to use pieces in a new way. So happy that you use the exhibits often as they tend to get forgotten.

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks! Yeh they're fun if you put the time in!

[@nrepetti24]

Also I am really excited for this section and I hope there will be a walkthrough habitat with kangaroos, wallabies and emus, that would be so cool!

I have a walkthrough planned!

Ah, I missed the Tekton style, love that you gave it a twist with the rusty panels and rock paintings! Very excited for this next section of the zoo.

[@ZSHplays]

You're going to love next week's episode 😁

[@michaelw6222]

It's such a pleasure to see you highlight the exhibits. I love them, too. There is so much creative potential with them if you can see past the big glass box. They deserve the love you are giving them. Honestly, I think it was a superb way for Frontier to add all of these little critters to the game. It adds variety and different points of interest in your zoos. I've never understood the whinging about the looped animations or lack of animations. As you've pointed out, IRL sometimes you can't even spot them in their terrariums, so I certainly don't expect to see snakes dancing, flipping, and spinning around. Anyway, I'll stop whinging about the whinging and just say "thanks!".

[@ZSHplays]

Haha thanks!

[@alexbogdanoff1514]

[@jjbray22]

Cool! My favorite Australia animal is the cassowary!

[@ZSHplays]

They are super cool, we have them in the Islands section of the zoo if you've not seen that yet

[@crabbus4117]

For my zoo, I’m using perspective and terrain as a major part of it. When you enter on the buses (electric obviously), you pass through a beautiful North American forest. The entrance gate is simple yet effective, being two tree trunks and a sign saying “Cravea Zoo” (Cravea is a temperate island city-state nation off the coast of Newfoundland and is completely fake). To your left is a large entry building with a few shops and an info center that houses the staff area. Guests see directly in front of them a lemur exhibit with the three types in game. To their right is a (in-development) Australia section, to their front is Africa (in-development), and to their left is South America, called “The Land of the Incas.” When the guests pass the Visitor’s Center, they see huge mountains to the left of the zoo, drawing them into South America. As they pass the tortoises they see a huge valley surrounded by mountains that mimics the Amazon and the Andes. I plan on having every in-game animal for this zoo, and the entire thing is designed like the Earth, so you have Australia, South America, and Africa at the bottom / entrance. The reason I talked about the terrain is because I unfortunately see a lot of player-made zoos that do not have much elevation at all. San Bernardino Zoo does have the interesting elevation with the water terraces, and I want guests to feel like they are actually in the Amazon, surrounded by mountains, instead of just having flat ground and a few tiny mountains. The valley of the Amazon will make the mountains taller and have the guests more immersed.

[@ZSHplays]

Sounds pretty epic! Unless your PC was built by NASA you are going to struggle with every animal though!

it is so relaxing to watch your wonderful builds

[@RiverDoesTheThing]

Hey something I think would be cool to add to different parts of the zoo is something I see a lot in Fort Wayne Zoo. They have little quiet spaces with benches and such for people with sensory issues. Usually they kinda jut off from the path a bit and have a little sound wall to keep it quiet. I think it would be a cool detail to add to the zoo

[@ZSHplays]

Interesting idea! Thanks!

[@wolf_pd]

White concrete and rusty orange, such a familiar sight ;) I really need to check your franchise masters for the habitat dimensions trick. Looking at the way you map things out, it makes it look so easy.

I like your work with the exhibit animals. I hope your Australia area has some reserved space for Tasmanian devils in case they are added in the next DLC.

Ooh that's a great idea! I was just watching Saint Reginald Zoo and Goron built an 'under construction' habitat, I think I'll do one of those and then we can fill it later hopefully!

[@nrepetti24]

I think it would be really cool for ZSH to also add an old aviary since it is an old part of the zoo that might eventually get something to live in it in the future

A channel called Chandlers Wild Life is fantastic for learning about venomous reptiles and he has a Death Adder if you'd like to see one.

Just one thing(: I think the AUSTRALIA sign is a little unrealistic, I think so because the pillar that holds it up doesn't look that strong. But if you make it look a little stronger or replace it, it would be perfect! Otherwise, it's a very good job you've done!

Since 70% of Australia is small towns there’s no point in upgrading the buildings to be modern so a lot of small towns have buildings from the 1880s then a modern office next to it so the rusted metal with the modern exhibit it actually really accurate also I love you channel and just like Australia is be shown more then just the outback that like 10 people live in
