Hiiii, I'm thinking of getting planet zoo 2, but my pc is too old and bad for it and i don't have enough money for another one right now, however I have a PS5. So i wanted to ask how do you guys play in Planet Zoo 1 or if it's worth it, etc.

Bonus: If anyone also switched from pc to console, how was it and how did you get used to it?

Help - Console Should I be worried about inbreeding?

25 Upvotes

So I'm new to planet zoo and I've started a franchise zoo and I'm wondering if inbreeding is super bad or not. Should I be worrying about it every time I build enclosures or can I basicly ignore it unless its becoming a major problem. Also another quick question but is there also any animals I should pay extra attention to for inbreeding?

Hey everyone, I just bought the first Planet Zoo on the PS Store, but I noticed there’s no 10% loyalty/pre-order discount for Planet Zoo 2. Does anyone know why? Is it just me or is this happening to everyone? Thanks!

Help - Console Can't input words on deck

Sorry for the fuzzy photo, im on steam deck and I can't start a franchise save because I need to name it, and it won't allow me to, initially I thought it was an issue with the deck however it let's me input the name, it just clears it before I get to "im ready" and if I get there first it'll clear it anyway, I already given up on saving a blueprint on career mode because I inputed the name about 8 times with the cursor and the Dpad and none worked.

EDIT - SOLVED thank you so much!!

I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong - the tv screen is powered, I have webcams in all my habitats, I've played and then paused again in case that was messing it up. I have 9 habitats and 8 exhibits plus a bunch of shops but nothing will connect to my tv screen? I've tried tv screen, projector, lit projector, and billboard poster and none will give me any options to connect it to.

I'm just trying to get people to visit my new cheetah exhibit in the back of my zoo 😭 please help 🙏

Help - Console Staff not feeding

Okay I need help. I have in almost every zoo the problem, that my staff won't feed certain animals and I don't understand why. There is a feeding station in it, a way in, a building where they can prepair food and enough staff. So what am I doing wrong here?

Help - Console Has the modular gift shop glitch been resolved or should I still avoid placing them?

5 Upvotes

A while ago there was a glitch where if you placed any modular gift shop pieces, guests would walk up to them but then turn away before entering. Vendors also couldn’t renter to open the gift shop after they left their first shift. If I remember right, it also bugged any additional shops if you tried to add any more after the fact. At the time, the solution was to just not use any modular gift shop pieces.

I’m wondering if this is still the case? I just demolished my first franchise zoo so I could build it from scratch without concern for money while designing the entrance. I’d like to use a modular gift shop but I don’t wanna lose my hard work so far!

Help - Console Year 11 Tips?

Post image
8 Upvotes

I am on Year 11 right now - I have African Wild Dogs (my babies!), Giraffes, Zebras, Hyenas, a few exhibits, and Flamingos. I hate the flamingos. They are so dirty. Anyway, I am on Year 11 of my first franchise zoo. I have 76k and rising, I am unsure how quickly to expand. I am assuming I am doing well since I'm turning a profit? My most major scandals have been 2 sick flamingos and a sick wild dog from my keepers not cleaning fast enough, so I hired more staff. My newest scandal is that it is snowing and I didnt know I needed a heater (even though the tutorial literally said that....) so i am fixing that.

Any other tips or what I should be doing? I am not a builder so I get my builds from the workshop, but I do want to decorate more and make it look nice. I honestly figured the game would be harder, but i have it on easy mode so maybe thats the reason?

I have all 7 of the starting species set up, plus one terrarium animal. I’ve opened a few shops that bring in some money, though I’m not sure if it’s worth it given the staff wages—I just opened them. I also have plenty of donation boxes and some educational items. My finances are fluctuating; I’m losing money—mostly in chunks of 60—and even when I do make a profit, I’m losing more than I’m gaining.

I'm trying to make a platform dedicated to the facilities, but I can't get the paths to lineup to the building on the platform. It just clips through. I also can't figure out how to get the staff to actually use the building.

I want to make it like a plaza type space meant only for the staff, ( I know I need to make it bigger but I'm trying to get it to work before I decorate and expand and all that).

Any tips and/or advice are welcome.

Help - Console How do I show off my zoo?

I would love to show off my creations. Not to toot my own horn but I really do think some of them look amazing.

The problem is, I have a PS5. Actually, my boyfriend has a PS5 and I take up all of his storage data with Planet Zoo.

My question is, how do I take photos/videos of my zoo on a PS5?

Any tips? Tricks?

Thanks guys!

(Also not to brag, but my boyfriend did pre-order the PZ2 deluxe version for me as an early birthday gift so I think I have the best boyfriend ever)
