10 Essential Tips for Planet Zoo Franchise Mode!

[@reptarbar5977]

really just getting into things and having such a time with it. the good, the bad, the ugly… we’ve all been there. thank you so much for making these videos!! they’re such a help

[@ZSHplays]

Thank you!

[@MotoTennessee]

This video made my day! Just came across your channel and have been watching the san bernadino series from the beginning. It's so satisfying and impressive. You're an amazing building and a very good video maker on youtube. This may be my 3rd ever youtube comment in 10 years but just had to let you know how much I appreciate you and your videos. I've been working on my own franchise world but it doesn't compared to yours lol

[@ZSHplays]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@AnimatoJoe]

I would LOVE more franchise mode tips and tricks videos! Its my favorite mode to play in!

[@ZSHplays]

Excellent!

[@Pumapard]

Loved this! I would love to see more types of these videos or even more focused on building such as certain keybinds that are helpful. Thank you so much! Once again love this video and love the zoo you are currently making!

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks! I'd like to do more tutorials but SBZ takes up all my time!

[@eros5420]

This is excellent! I am most excited for the animal aging. I'm tired of my zoos having more incest than a Japanese cartoon. 😅

[@ZSHplays]

😆 Haha! Amazing! Glad it was useful!

[@Silkencira1710]

Such a high quality video with great tips! Thank you for the effort. You got a new sub. 😊 i recently got into planet zoo and am obsessed. 🥰

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks! Welcome to the channel!

[@luksxvts]

Thank you so much for this vid I really couldn’t figure out franchise mode and now I know a lot more about it

[@ZSHplays]

No problem!

[@Coolrocksta]

wow, i love the tip with the staff building. Very nice video, always enjoying giving noobs (beginners) like me advice and tips.

[@ZSHplays]

Glad to help!

[@akosszilagyi2656]

Omg, buildings and habitats in these kinds of vids are generally so well-made and just great-looking that they always make me feel bad about my own sorry excuses for a zoo and pitiful attempts to build something that's not just downright ugly.

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks 😆 It takes a long time to get good at this game, my first builds were awful!

[@Kitsune1989]

My first builds were awful. I find it helps to keep one of my old crappy zoos with its square, in game walls and game prefab staff buildings just so I can see how far I've come since then. Also, don't just look at one person's video for how to do --- thing. Look up a dozen videos on the same concept. Some people have different ways of achieving the same end result that just click better with your mind. It also sometimes gives some wicked ideas that just never occurred to me to even attempt. Another thing I find has helped improve my designs is pintrest. Not entire enclosures though. Look for bits and pieces of enclosures that can be mentally put together or rearranged. Or even just taking the general idea and running with it. There's an image on there somewhere of the water from one enclosure flowing over a glass tunnel into another. Obviously we can't recreate this idea exactly as that's not how in game water works. But we can build a half glass tunned next to an underwater viewing area, use the rapids option and give the illusion of water overflowing into the neighboring exhibit by adding a lake or pond next to the land exhibit. Looking from guest side it gives the illusion of being under a waterfall. Ladydesigner made a cool illusion of a glass floor for guests to walkover (which they can't actually walkover because of pathing limitations but they can peer down into).

[@akosszilagyi2656]

@@Kitsune1989 Thanks, i got better in the meantime.

[@roderina]

the path tip for enrichment items is godlike thank you

[@ZSHplays]

No problem! I learned it from JustGoron!

[@SHAZZZZZA]

This is so helpful! Thank you you've given me some good ideas

[@ZSHplays]

No problem!

[@sparrow838_]

Fantastic compilation! I just mentioned the habitat size tip in a Reddit comment today - what can I say, I obviously learned from the best 💁🏻‍♀️

[@ZSHplays]

Haha thank you!

[@philly2kuk1985]

I enjoy all your videos but this was great. I had no clue about point one and I was getting sick of millions of lemurs, so thanks for that!

[@ZSHplays]

Glad I added that first tip!

[@sashasally]

Awesome video! Using a path to stop enrichment items from flattening terrain is brilliant! At the end of the video when you're making that staff building, how did you place the wooden beams so quickly? I know the video is sped up, but it looked like you didn't have to fiddle with the placement at all on the ones you duplicated.

[@ZSHplays]

Thanks! I probably just edited it that way

[@jjbray22]

YES! I found this Very Useful!

[@ZSHplays]

Excellent!

[@oliverjones2426]

this game reminds me of when i started learning photoshop, its such a creative game but there is a big learning curve, definitly worth it though

[@ZSHplays]

Oh yeh there is a lot to learn! The beauty of KZbin is I get to struggle with PZ and then struggle with PS as well to make the thumbnail 😆

[@sixbirdsinatrenchcoat]

That path trick! 😮 Thank you!!

[@ZSHplays]

No worries 😆

[@X0N59]

AWSOME video!! Helps me a lot!!

No problem, thanks!

Very helpful video. Thank you

You're welcome!

[@RomyLansbergen]

Great tips for frenchise mode thanks! I would love a video about the workzone system, what is the best way to set it up in the beginning and how to evolve it as your zoo gets bigger?

[@ZSHplays]

Check out my 'running a huge zoo in franchise mode' video, I go into workzones in that one

[@alexkaen1701]

Tip #1, change the laws of time and biology, by slowing aging Great, real helpful...

[@ZSHplays]

If you think a lion grows to maturity in 12 minutes... I can't help you 😆

[@Onikaisgodly]

I can’t wait to get a laptop to play this game!!!

[@Lucas-sld]

Buy a powerfull computer for this game, that's my advice. When you'll reach 1000 visitors, the game will start to freeze if you dont have a good PC

[@ZSHplays]

Woo! Get a decent one! This game is a beast!

[@montymchugh]

this helped

[@ZSHplays]

Awesome!

[@LightYagamiSOS]

GODSEND

[@ZSHplays]

Hah nice

[@Kitsune1989]

1980hrs of game play and im just now finding out about the enrichment trick and the terrain brush option?

[@ZSHplays]

I had at least that when I found out 😆

[@pascaalexandru2955]

11'st tip: Food costs and animal choice

[@ZSHplays]

That's a good one! Maybe in the next video!

[@pascaalexandru2955]

thx for the like & Heart!

[@Keksine]

So i have one question, because i never used webcams bevor, do i need to build some sort of monitor to actually use the webcams or is it only the little device 🤔 Thank you for the video there were some tips i never heard about so this was great

[@ZSHplays]

Nah you just put the webcam in, you can watch the output by clicking on it. Glad you found the video helpful!

[@aidzwilli6085]

As a new player, my biggest gripe is the foliage coverage limit preventing me making lush habitats. Is there anyway around this limit in Franchise mode, or am I stuck with big, open field habitats? 😭

[@ZSHplays]

Yes it really makes only a tiny difference to the animals' happiness, just go crazy with it like I do!

[@PastelSpellTV]

250 hours in and I'm just now learning there's a setting so that I don't have to trade out 50 penguins every two hours because my habitats overcrowded again... 🤦‍♀️

[@teworm]

Where did you get those crates and chairs from? I cant find them in the game.

[@ZSHplays]

Not sure which things you,’re talking about but I don’t use mods so they’re either in game items or a blueprint. Most likely ingame as I rarely use blueprints

[@calumcarmichael8088]

Was doing really well in my franchise zoo then all of a sudden it came up with staff couldn’t reach work zone and I don’t know why all paths are connected but the won’t go there

[@LaR4nger]

I'm terrible at decorating/building, (I also sadly have no dlc except for the North America animal pack dlc) any tips for helping me get better, also thanks for all the other tips in the video

[@ZSHplays]

Check out my base game research centre episode of San Bernardino Zoo, I build the whole thing with no DLCs, you should find it useful!

[@LaR4nger]

@@ZSHplays ok thanks!

[@AntonioDelClaro]

When i buy my animals they dont come to my inventory how can i deal with this?

[@ZSHplays]

Franchise Mode is broken at the moment, should be a patch soon

[@Sledgehannahgaming]

Tip one is subjective - not that great if you’re farming for CCs. And for habitat sizes - you also have to consider how much foilage you’re going to add. Big foliage will block animal’s traversable area, and therefore lower how much space they have. So you need to make the habitat bigger than the amount they require, so you have room for foliage. Also, are you sure “ticket price is fair” doesn’t have a bad effect on guest happiness? Overall your tips are really good though :)

[@ZSHplays]

I presumed anyone starting a CC farm would be aware that tip 1 was not for them 😆 I add an extra 4m squared for trees plus the rounding p, this method normally works fine for me. I don't believe ticket price is fair has any affect on guest happiness but there is no documentation so who knows!

[@leonrisanger]

what is your top ten favorite animals in planet zoo im asking beacuse im going to make a park for you that is called ZSHplays wildlife park

[@Vyborgclark]

These look suspiciously like franchise masters lol

[@ZSHplays]

Indeed! People have been asking me to compile them into a video for months!

[@pawelsawicki1750]

1:07 For real?? Calculator to find out how bug square I do if I need 900 meters squared area??? Wow...

[@jordisstone]

What do you mean by “left or right square brackets?”

[@ZSHplays]

I don't know the technical term for them - the square parentheses?

[@LittleFishy219]

My franchise zoo was almost at 5 stars when my educational suddenly tanked. All guests have 100% education rating at any point, but I can’t get above .5 stars 😭 it has to be a weird glitch or bug.

[@GhostGuard638]

Sorry what’s franchise mode and sandbox mode I don’t get it

[@ZSHplays]

Franchise mode is the more ‘game’ mode where there are various restrictions and objectives. Sandbox let’s you build however you want

[@Sebcentre]

I made a capybara habitat as the first one but accidently made it 5700m2

Haha! Oops!
