Starting an African Savannah in Franchise Mode! | San Bernardino Zoo | Planet Zoo

[@lasschesteven]

Glad to see the long-awaited savannah finally coming along. The shade structure looks really nice, like something you'd see at a real zoo. And maybe you could add ostriches, if there's room for them in the habitat?

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks! I'll be doing a poll on the community wall next week!

[@dereklarsen5229]

Very nice habitat! 👏😃 I'm the sure the white rhinos are very happy 😊🦏 Also, I noticed the albino springbok in there, too! I think you should add the nyala to this habitat because they gain enrichment from (and only from) the white rhinos.

[@ZSHplays]

The albino was a community challenge award, I normally avoid them but he was cute and free so I kept him 😁 I'll be doing a poll next week!

[@Wildwiki6798]

This African animal is going right together so far. White rhinoceros are my favirote rhino species and I appreciate the amount of respect you showed to these beautiful animals especially the other ones.

[@p-aboily5981]

I'm taking notes during the viewing gallery, yours always look amazing. Great video as always! I love the choice of a not-too-big mixed species habitat, keeps everything balanced.

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks! I'm looking forward to finishing it next week!

[@Jynxzeyz]

Hi ZSH! I love the vid. Keep up the good work! Also, could you add some kind of botanical garden somewhere where you could just add some trees and flowers.

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks! I feel like I don't know enough about plants to do that, maybe I'll ask Romanopulatious to do a guest build?

[@Jynxzeyz]

Sure! Thanks for noticing me. Kerp it up!❤

[@MylotheZooLovingScientist]

Subscribed! I watched a handful of your videos back when you made that Asian temple with the proboscis monkeys and monitors and was extremely impressed with your aesthetic flair. Finding my way back to your videos and once again am loving your designs. I've never been able to fully dive into Planet Zoo like I did with the original Zoo Tycoon games (and it's been 10 years since I regularly played those), but I'm always optimistic that I'll get around to it one day. I know my exhibits would be mediocre while I familiarize myself with the controls and nuances of the game, but your videos are already inspiring me. And, knowing how detail-oriented I used to be with my old ZT2 modded builds, I'm hopeful that I could one day approach something resembling the quality of your builds. :) For now, though, it's nice to soak in the elegance of your zoos and daydream, haha.

[@ZSHplays]

Awesome comment, thanks! Hope you get the time to play one day!

[@nickwestfree4936]

This series is the highlight of my Sunday mornings! Incredible work on this one. Love it

[@ZSHplays]

Aw thanks!

[@nrepetti24]

Can’t wait to see what you have this week for the new pack, I am really looking forward to that and the reveal of the sloth bear

[@ZSHplays]

Building as we speak!

[@THEGAMERUMBLER]

Realy nice looking build! You gave me alot of inspiration, for an example to put rocks in places so one animal cant get through a gap but another one can, thanks for that!

[@ZSHplays]

No problem!

[@qbernater4815]

I reckon it’s going to be the mute swan in the water terraces for the special episode. Well we will wait and see 😊

[@ZSHplays]

You'll find out soon 😁

[@CommonFabian]

This habitat looks really good. Love the little section for the springbok to retreat to!

[@ZSHplays]

A love a good creep :) Thanks!

[@Nyaarys]

Me: "I wonder if there's anything new on KZbin for me?" *Uploaded 34 seconds ago* "Perfect!" 😂 Love the habitat, especially because I was feeling bad that the Rhinos at Edinburgh Zoo weren't there when I visited recently, so it's nice to see them in the game at least! I love the extra detail of adding the barrier between the rhinos and the electric fences. It's an idea I might use in future builds, instead of just avoid those fences altogether! I'd love to see a third species added in with the Rhinos and springboks. My mind jumps to warthogs or ostrich for visual interest, but anything you pick I'm sure would be great!

[@ZSHplays]

Good timing! I'll be doing a poll on the community wall next week

[@guntersgaming]

A great build and loved that tip on the animal sign to get it two toned! Going to be book marking some of these builds just to learn even more! And side note - you had me at custom sun shade!

Man , Really been enjoying your videos .Recently saw the tekton zoo series and thought you missed the major animals like elephants, lions . Glad you are adding them hope you had tigers one day

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks! Yeh one of the main concepts for this zoo was to add all the big ticket animals I didn't have in Tekton. Tigers are coming!

[@ramakrishnagowda5892]

Really excited man !! Hope you continue to grow up as Mr.beast 😉

[@moodapenkinislazy]

You should add blue wildebeest to zebra/giraffe and Nyala or Thomson’s gazelle to rhino/springbok side

[@ZSHplays]

Great choices! I'll be doing a poll on the community wall next week

[@TheFoxymoon]

Gorgeous and well done !

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks!

[@rahmathunnisack6706]

I would recommend the bongo . At first i thought the blue Wildebeest but i want you to create a habitat for both blue and black Wildebeest pls. And cant wait for the pack. And pls add tiger i know you will add it

[@ZSHplays]

We already have Bongo in the African Forest area, Blue Wildebeest would be great though!

[@Langharig_Tuig]

Zoo's and a restaurant near the savannah habitats, name a more iconic duo. (For real, why is that? Or is it just the zoo's I've been to?)

[@ZSHplays]

I guess African areas are often most popular so it makes sense to put a restaurant there?

[@Langharig_Tuig]

@@ZSHplays I asked around a bit, not that I know that many actual zoo designers or anything, but it seems that one reason is that African animals are, on average larger (giraffe's, elephants, rhino's) which means they can be seen from further away. So a larger area can be reserved for a restaurant while still offering everyone a decent chance at seeing animals while they sit down for their meal. Also it seems that there's moreso a lot of places where you wouldn't want to have your restaurants in a zoo, for obvious reasons like too close to the entrance or exit, too close to other fascilities or too close to stinky animals

[@ZSHplays]

All good points, I'm just hoping it's far enough away from the Hippos 😆@@Langharig_Tuig

@@ZSHplays If I was any good at programming I would make a poop spray mod for the hippo's haha

[@myawilkes7560]

Franchise masters request: how do you incorporate power and water treatment stations in an esthetically pleasing way?

[@ZSHplays]

Hide them 😆 As real zoos don’t have transformers and water treatment facilities every few metres I just hide them in/behind buildings

[@oddsocksnannies9745]

WE NEED MEERKAT MEERKAT AND ARRDVARK IN SAME ENCLOSURE

[@ZSHplays]

We already have Meerkats but there's not enough room in their enclosure for Aardvarks I'm afraid

[@leahross3902]

I love the niyxed habitats that you do I think they're simple but also complex at the same time lol Do you think Indian elephants and black rhinos will be making an appearance in the zoo?

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks! Probably not as we'll be having their counterparts.

[@Nissanghmohanbabu]

What stops are you going to put on the monorail ride that you built before the mixed habitat in the African Forest area?

[@ZSHplays]

Entrance, ???, Africa, maybe another one, I'm not 100% sure

[@megakoopa-pokemonandmore6152]

For a third habitat animal, I would choose either the Thomson’s Gazelle, Sable Antelope or Blue Wildebeest. Also how many of the animals from the Eurasia pack do you think will be in San Bernardino Zoo?

[@ZSHplays]

All great choices! I'll be putting up a poll next week. At this point I'd say 3 Eurasian animals for sure, potentially more

[@AnimalAce]

never heard of the word creep....I don't know how to spell it either. How do you spell cause I want to look it up for later use? Also thanks for the great series ZSH!

[@ZSHplays]

You're spelling it right!

[@Keenakeen]

Ideas for what other animals to fill the savannah habitats: Rhino side: - Nyala (Only has the rhino as interspecies bonus) - Wildebeest - Warthog Giraffe side: - Nile Lechwe - Ostrich - African Buffalo

[@ZSHplays]

All good choices, I'll be doing a poll on the community wall next week!

@@ZSHplays awesome, can't wait to see it.

[@ethanjosephhall8756]

Everything's looking good. I was wondering if there was an African animal you wanted to add but doesn't exist in the game, like Southern Eland, African Leopards, some type of baboon. I personally would like to see more African reptiles like cobras, mambas, or even a Nile Crocodile in the game. How about you?

[@ZSHplays]

Baboons!
