Maybe try to recreate a real life zoo. Or make thematic zoos: only endangered species; only carnivorans; only ungulates; animals from one part of the world (I've made a zoo with only animals from South and Central America)...
I hope it's ok if I ask some questions first in order to give you more personalized ideas: what else do you enjoy about the game except the market? What is it that you miss about it when you're not playing?
i like being able to put my own up for trade! as well as getting morphs as i’ve heard it’s not easy to on sandbox. isn’t kinda like franchise frontier animals? only a couple at a time and not very good?
honestly i’ve never played sandbox before
i think staying in franchise is a good idea for you since you like the market and getting different coats (people seem to like to buy special animals!)
what if you went through this list and picked out animals that you think look the coolest and made a zoo for them? (with the idea of breeding them to get a specific morph) https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2780512734&searchtext=coats
or focus on specific DLCs and go through them in order, OR go through the list chronologically and build for every species?? (ambitious!! 😅 )
you could keep the zoo to a grid-like design so it's easier to build and continue using blueprints for stuff that you feel like you'd rather not build yourself!
Steam Community :: Guide :: The shiny coats of Planet Zoo
A comprehensive list of all the different special animal color variants (aka "albinos") you can find in Planet Zoo, with gender dimorphism and text detailing all of them. DLC animals are inc
do you mean like an albino only zoo? or melanistic only etc?
and it could be fun to do alphabetical order honestly.. there’s a lot of animals i’ve never built for and that would kinda force me to
i could do it into different zoos so it doesn’t kill my game lol
yeah or like trying to get all possible coats for a species, like with king penguin for example, they have so many!!
as for order -- alphabetical sounds cool, you could also add the species to a wheel and roll for them so it's even more unpredictable and keeps you excited for the next one you get (gambling? lol)
and multiple zoos is a good idea, definitely, my PC starts having issues when the animal count reaches about 100..
tracking it all could also help you with staying motivated and see your progress, but only if you enjoy doing that!
A zoo with every single animal?
Here is your challenge. A natural looking zoo with african aniamals in a single habitat. Transport ride. Could consider a few habitats with lions, cheetahs, elephants, hippos with that challenge. Good luck. ( try to max each species group aswell )
would i be able to put any predator animals with anything else?
probably not
but i do like the big safari idea
U could try to add predators and make their habitat inbetween the other animals make it look like they r there
Like a long stretched out habitat for the lions cheetahs hyena's then surrounded by crocs and hippo's pm the other side of the river the elephants giraffe etc. Then a safari ride through it all. Have staff facilities underground.
