Into the (Planet) ZooVerse

Steam Workshop The Steam Workshop can be incredibly helpful, giving you a lot of construction items made by people from all over the world! The Steam Workshop gives you a lot of items to work with, giving you blueprints from log burrows to ZHS Plays’ San Bernadino Zoo. How to access To access the workshop, you will first need internet, after you have checked your internet access, you must click on the community tab, and then workshop. How to use After you have entered, you simply scroll down and check what's new on the workshop, you can do this by selecting filters and then selecting most recent, you are also able to select the most subscribed, or the most popular. Once you have decided what you want to get, simply select it and click subscribe; though before you subscribe, you might want to check what DLC that you are going to require to use the pack.

  Normally, to expand your zoo you would simply build a second habitat using the same basic idea I mentioned last time, but instead, if you want  to do what I did, I built an indoor micro-habitat based off of the Twilight DLC Pack. Foundations: I first started by placing a mixture of yellow-brown stained wood and limestone, I then added a roof and laid out the area where I wanted my animals eat, drink and sleep whilst saying out of guest view, and the section where I wanted them being viewed. Decoration: After I laid the shell of the habitat, I went through on t inside and placed the leaf wallpaper everywhere, and coloured it all black, I then went through with ivy and red lights for effect, I then started placing plants everywhere I wanted them to be in the habitat. Finishing the habitat: At last, all you have to do now is place a habitat gate, place some null barriers around the habitat, and then place your glass, now enjoy your new micro  habitat!

How to plan:  The first stage of any project is to design, I first started by splitting my zoo into sections, and I did it with the continents of the world. You must also decide which animals you want to use in each section, your zoo won't do much without animals! Additionally, you will have to plan zones to place guest accommodations, e.g: Shops or toilets, but you will also have to place all of your key staff buildings, and I suggest building a shell around them to hide them from guest view, you can do this by placing the plain white staff buildings down with their grid, you can then place walls around them.  How To Start: When I first start my zoo, I often like to build a car park, I do this by using the guest spawning coaches from the europe pack, and then placing the plain black paths on top, you con also add the African Offroad Vehicles for more decoration. I normally then build a simple plaza with a couple plants and some bins and benches, to help accommodate your guest...
