Planet Zoo

Definitely!! Zoo Tycoon was pretty much my childhood and what introduced me to PC gaming so I'm pretty hyped for Planet Zoo :smiley:

It also helps get rid of my doubts about it since Frontier Developments also made Planet Coaster and if Planet Zoo has similar building mechanics as that one, I'd never see the sun for at least half a month when PZoo is released :tongue:

I started playing the beta version this morning :D

I pre-ordered the deluxe version back in august, and I've put 9 hours into the beta so far. I'm loving it! :) <3 it's filling the zoo tycoon void from my childhood.

Still have a lot I want to get to with Island Living, Moschino, and Realm of Magic so I'm waiting for the official release in November. Only thing is University will probably be released around that time. ?

I'm following it but idk if I'll be any better at building anything in it than I am in PC :sweat_smile: Speaking of which, I think I might just go play it for a bit xD

@simstrippy I have no clue what I'm doing when I try to build buildings, but I feel like I've got a handle on building nice looking habitats. It's a beautiful game graphically, and games about caring for animals have always been a sweet spot of mine. <3

Did you play the beta? And do you know how, if at all, the building differs from Planet Coaster?

@SimTrippy I have been playing the beta all week, and I've never played Planet Coaster. I've seen other people say that the building system is the same as in Planet Coaster, but I can't confirm that. :p All I know is that every habitat I build looks decent at the least and very nice at the best, and it's satisfying for me. If you watch Youtubers, Geekism has been doing a very in-depth coverage of Planet Zoo, and I know he did Planco videos in the past too.

Thanks for the suggestion! :D

Well, let me tell you, PC has no fencing tool like the one right at the start of this video:

In fact fencing anything like it would be a painstaking, time-consuming endeavor:sweat_smile:
So I'm VERY happy to see this!!! I still wish they could give us this in Planet Coaster as well, cause stuff like that is just *really* annoying to do.

But yeah, other than that, it looks largely the same xD Especially the pathing.

ETA: thanks again for the suggestion - glad to see I was right about the fencing and the many other improvements we'll see in Planet Zoo!
