[discord feature req] A cleaner web experience for this forum

Hey! I saw this forum AnswerOverflow. I’m building Paladin, a smoother, cleaner alternative that makes Discord forums easier to browse on the web. It’s free to use and can run alongside AnswerOverflow, so you don’t have to switch anything to try it out. If it’s helpful, I can spin up a version of Paladin on your forum so you can see how it looks for your community. Is there anything about your current setup you’d like improved? I’d love to see if Paladin can help. 😀...

What's your prediction for the next Anniversary animal?

I think this DLC will either be related to Africa or North America, so I think the Anniversary animal will live in one of those continents. So my 1st prediction is that there will be a Masai Giraffe because it's a really popular animal and I would love to have it in the game. My 2nd prediction is the American Black bear because it is the last bear missing and it's an iconic North American animal....

Solar Punk Zoo?

Was thinking about starting a sandbox zoo to practice my building skills and thought it would be a fun challenge to set a theme to stick to and I thought solar Punk would be SO COOL! I'm relatively new to the game and am not sure how feasible it is with the in game assets. Any suggestions? Any dlc packs that are a must?
Solution:
Conservation pack is 1000% must have for solar punk, it got 3d printed grid pieces, many props that fit the theme like insect hotel, gardening tools, crops, etc.; just frontier made blueprints are somewhat good like arches and buildings with grass roofs, many other things Aquatic pack is also good because it got cool plants and also those planted panel props, faux rocks and waterfalls...

Game freeze

Hi, I have a problem with Planet Zoo. Even though I have a good PC (i7-13700, RTX 3070 Ti, 32GB RAM, SSD), the game keeps freezing. It’s not just lag – my entire screen freezes and I can’t do anything for about 2–3 minutes, then it goes back to normal. This happens in any zoo, even empty ones, not only in big or detailed parks. My drivers are up to date, the game is installed on an SSD, no mods, no antivirus running. Does anyone know what could be causing these long freezes or how to fix them?...

Returning but New-ish player looking for help/mentors/tips.

Hey all! Love both Planet Zoo and Coaster and seeing all the creations that the respective communities make! I’ve just recently started a new zoo, just in sandbox mode, with a kind of “Forever Zoo” mentality. Something to just putter away on, learn more techniques, design tips/tricks and ultimately see my progression from new to “not-so-new”. Maybe I should record all this as well?! Lol...

Caldera Money

Element missing

Hello, I’m not really sure if this is a bug in the game or not. But I no longer have access to certain walls in the game. At first, I had them when creating the save, but the next day I no longer had access to these walls, more specifically the limestone walls. I checked to make sure I hadn’t activated any filters, etc… But I’m out of solutions. Could you please help me?...

best layouts for zoo

I'm struggling trying to figure out work zones and efficency

A TF2 map as a zoo or vice versa?

Do the designs of Mercenary Park or Enclosure lend well to a good zoo with only minor tweaks, or should I just create more typical desert zoo that has the layout of a TF2 map? If the latter, what TF2 map type should it be in the style of?

More touch of realism

Hello Planet zoo community. Something that's been bothering me is the lack of realism I'm able to put in my zoos. I'm glad about my habitats and the realism I put into my habitats, but the pathing system and how the habitats shall be placed. As you can see in my picture I sent, this is not how a "normal zoo" would place habitats. I just don't know how to path and plan the zoo correctly so it matches realistic zoos and how habitats would've been placed. ...

Planning, paths, how to make it all flow

Hey ! Well something I've been dealing with for some time is how to make it all "flow". What I mean by it is, how do you make zoos that are so smooth, like everything clicks. The path and planning connect with each other and the different sections in the zoo connect and makes it look like a real-life zoo.
