Lovin' this series already ^^I've had this game for about 8 years and never really watched anyone else play it, so it's really cool to see someone else's sense of style and design in building, and watching them learn the ropes that took me so long to figure out on my own, and am still figuring out to an extent. I played in freeplay/sandbox 90% of the time and am still figuring out what makes a properly functioning zoo when you don't cheat and give yourself a million dollars to start off, even after 8 years. (sheepish grin)Best of luck to you on this adventure and looking forward to following along beside you every step of the way!
Alllll the mods used are from the sites I linked in the last video (Prologue) so if you want them that's the place to check! Not going to list them all because I'm not a crazy person. :D
no one will buy gifts from gift shop because there are three specific carts normal, extinct and marine, guests will only buy gifts of animals they have seen, the kentro will be extinct cart, rays will be marine, no animals you have are for the normal gift cart. I would change it to an extinct gift cart as kentros have a higher popularity rating.
A couple recommendations: 1. If you haven't, you should download the Large Glass Aviary from Zeta-Designs. The fence pieces cost only about $500 to research and $800 to build, but they sell for $20,000. In-game it's either made available at the start or when you gain one star, so it's available pretty early on and makes the game SO MUCH EASIER for challenge and campaign modes. 2. Also, I always built multiple exhibits around a single staff center (which won't be available until about two and a half or three stars in unfortunately), assign about three or four zookeepers to each exhibit, and put the gates towards the staff center, so the game doesn't constantly bombard you with "Zookeeper Manny can't reach Manta 1" or whatever, and it doesn't break the illusion when walking around your zoo as a guest and seeing a ladder or gate into an exhibit. 3. If you're exhibits are big enough, there are quite a few animals in the game that not only share the same bio requirement but actually get along with each other. For example, in your Manta exhibit you can put in a pair of Blacktip Reef sharks. Saves you money that would have been used to build an entirely separate exhibit, and I'm pretty sure the game does factor it into the exhibit's educational value. Obviously, just don't put in two animals that have a predator-prey relationship (Sea Lions will eat the Rockhopper Penguins. But the Rockhopper penguins can share a habitat with Manatees and Green Sea Turtles).
Manta rays are awesome. There was an aquarium restaurant I went to in Tennessee that had a place where you can pet and feed them. It was awesome. There was a big tank in the middle of the place with black tip sharks and exotic fish. 10/10 restaurant
Bis, if you're looking to play the challenge mode and want to save some money, build into the environment. you can get rid of almost all those tank walls and just leave one up for guests to see through.
Here is a great tip: Even though it recommends only rocks and plants that are in the animal's biome, using things from other biomes doesn't decrease their happiness, so you can take from all biomes to make exhibits look better. And, a lot of animals can go into other biomes. For example, an Elephant might be in the Savanna biome, but it also likes scrub, desert, and grassland.
HERES A STORY: I was as a sting ray petting station, and I was petting a shark. Then a stingray but me. Ok yeah, not a manta, but it's basically the same thing but smaller :3
+Spino Czar Nothing against your dog. I had traumatic experiences with big dogs as a child which let me into being afraid of and not liking them. I appreciate them as animals, but i don't like them like I do almost all other animals.
Couldn't you put an elevated path lead up to that appendage looking geography just North of the Kentrosaurus? I think it would be more aesthetically pleasing... Otherwise enjoying it, keep it up! :)
It's really cool that you have the music from the original Zoo Tycoon. You should check that one out too sometimes. It also has a dinosaur expansion pack and has a better variety of dinos
Damn I forgot to say in the planning video, there's a really detailed Auroch by JFD, I can't find it again, but I have have it, it has a wang, can get diarrhea and grows naturally instead of one day reaching adulthood
It was in Zoo tycoon 2 Formidable seas expansion. I managed to snag a copy after it was shut down. It's got some cool creatures but a couple unfinished skins
+Aden Michalski Pretty sure you can still find Formidable Seas around but there usually prior versions with a few creatures with missing textures etc etc
Another good thing about Challenge mode is that it unlocks stuff, which freeform mode doesn't, for the most part. Campaign mode also unlocks stuff, so if you don't plan on doing that you should probably do some of it off camera, at least the easier ones.
+Alex Leonardi I think to a lot more people it's normal and a great way to get rid of stress as long as it isn't directed to someone in a serious manner
There's a challenge mode mod that removes the challenge roulette. So you can still have challenge mode escapades with loads of mods. I use it all the time. It's available on the ZT2 site The Round Table.
Also, you should hire paleontologists, and they will go around the zoo and pick up Dinosaur fossils so you can make them for free in the Extinct Research Lab instead of paying for them.
BIS your zoo will be croweded to hell once you installed all the mods, not that is nessesarily a bad thing as I presume you won't be like me and spend an hour building one enclosure...damn you all the building and scenary mods I have! Damn you! On another note hurrah for more Zoo Tycoon 2!
you don't have to click out trees. you can click the tree symbol on the treain thingy. sorry for my spelling I'm from sweden and I'm not so good at spelling
BiS if you enjoy playing park builder games you should check out Dino Island its a few years old but its just such a good game and for me was even more fun to play then JP operation genesis
Hmmm... BIS... You didn't download Radical Remake Manta Ray nor the Kentrosaurus remake at nexus?Also I'll take it that you haven't download WWD Time of the Titans yet...
So I'm playing this game on the same challenge mode, yet no guests come into my zoo, and the zoo is open.....how do you get people to come to your zoo? It's driving me crazy.
i have a humongous ammount of animals and a few other mods including radical remake and challange mode is not impossible i have made many 5 star zoos with it only some challanges can be a bfit hard
wat computer are you playing with? as far as I know, zoo tycoon no matter wat version doesnt run on windows 7 and much less windows 10. how are you getting yours to work?
callo jones You can download it from Pirate Bay, but I would recommend buying it from Amazon because I do not trust Downloads. Its not too expensive anyway, very cheap for PC games.
I would highly reccomend NOT putting in gates into exhibits, and assigned zookeepers to particular exhibits, which they can't get out of, because of the lack of gates. If they aren't assigned and are allowed to leave they sit around on benches all day or at staff buildings.
"Grab a soda, grab an urination" LAUGHED TOO HARD

You can assign zookeepers to specific exhibits
I have a problem with I downloaded a few animals and they weren't in the game. Am I doing something wrong?
+Dieter Gaudlitz thank you. :)
+BestInSlot i think this is quite a good hint: don't put too many mods in it because your game will glitch
+Dieter Gaudlitz wait but what should I extract
Extract files

Rewatching this while playing zoo tycoon 2
i miss watching these
Man
I feel so nostalgic watching this
lol u sounded like Papyrus,
"YYES!! HUMAN!"
Yay! :D Great start to your zoo - I really miss playing these games 3: Looking forward to how it improves going forward :)

There are show lights you can put in tanks that will make them brighter.
This is one of the only zoo tycoon lets plays I actually enjoyed
I remember this game looking way better quite odd
Oh man I'm loving this series already.

O.O I found out about Radical Remake ages ago but could never get it to work! Awesome to see you found it! ^^
I LOVE MANTA RAYS (I love every animal to be honest, except wasps) I saw a manta ray in Tobago on holiday
+Ewan Fenelon weird, i feel the same way about wasps...ae also kind of iffy on misquitos
I love every animal in the except big dogs ( long story ) and horse-flies, but that's probably because nothing else stings me that often.
HERES A STORY: I was as a sting ray petting station, and I was petting a shark. Then a stingray but me.
Ok yeah, not a manta, but it's basically the same thing but smaller :3
adamgrogory my pitbull greyhound mix disaprroves
+Spino Czar Nothing against your dog. I had traumatic experiences with big dogs as a child which let me into being afraid of and not liking them. I appreciate them as animals, but i don't like them like I do almost all other animals.
This is my Roman Empire
So glad you took my suggestion! (if you even saw it)
Couldn't you put an elevated path lead up to that appendage looking geography just North of the Kentrosaurus? I think it would be more aesthetically pleasing...
Otherwise enjoying it, keep it up! :)

Red Raptor Writes It has a better dinosaur and marine expansion pack
"They may be fake weird little humans but they're my fake humans."
I feel like this could end up a top 10 series on the channel!
Manta Rays, Dinosaurs, Zoo Tycoon?! YEEAAAHHHHHHOOOhhhhhhhhhh shit he's gonna be neglectful of certain animal exhibits down the line again, is he?
"They may be fake weird little humans, but they're MY fake weird little humans!"

Can't wait for more. One of my favorite games of all time.
Damn I forgot to say in the planning video, there's a really detailed Auroch by JFD, I can't find it again, but I have have it, it has a wang, can get diarrhea and grows naturally instead of one day reaching adulthood
I'd like to see Dunkelosteus added. They're one of my favorite ancient sea creatures.
Dunkelosteus, the beaver of the seas!
+The ShamenCrft More like the guillotine of the seas.
It was in Zoo tycoon 2 Formidable seas expansion. I managed to snag a copy after it was shut down. It's got some cool creatures but a couple unfinished skins
+Aden Michalski Pretty sure you can still find Formidable Seas around but there usually prior versions with a few creatures with missing textures etc etc
are they
25:22 I liked you before but now I like you even more
IT HAS THE ZOO TYCOON ONE THEME!
I'M SO HAPPY!!!
Another good thing about Challenge mode is that it unlocks stuff, which freeform mode doesn't, for the most part. Campaign mode also unlocks stuff, so if you don't plan on doing that you should probably do some of it off camera, at least the easier ones.
And your water as well is so realistic! Am I missing a Mod or something, I really need it:(
As soon as I see a new person like you I hope they don't swear
Why it's human naturw
+Universe_Cat3 nature
To a lot of people it's repulsive
+Alex Leonardi I think to a lot more people it's normal and a great way to get rid of stress as long as it isn't directed to someone in a serious manner
Sometimes i love living in The Netherlands... Was still possible to order the Ultimate Collection almost every store here.
Oh... my god, I am yelling at you to flatten this! And remove the wrong trees from Kentrosaurus!
the most amazing video
ever
There's a challenge mode mod that removes the challenge roulette. So you can still have challenge mode escapades with loads of mods. I use it all the time.
It's available on the ZT2 site The Round Table.
Wish my laptop could run planet zoo I'm now trying to find zoo tycoon at a good price any ideas where i can buy it?
Could you show us how you installed your mods and how you got them! P.S great video
Zoo tycoon? Hella yes!
thank u 4 playing my favorite game in the world
Oh gosh I miss this game so much.
Where can you download this and the mods?
watching this has made me wanna re live 12yo me's favorite game.
Also, you should hire paleontologists, and they will go around the zoo and pick up Dinosaur fossils so you can make them for free in the Extinct Research Lab instead of paying for them.
Bestinslot the wedding is planned. There will be a ton of hotdog stands so you don't get low bloodsugar during the event!
when he said there my fake little humans I imagined anna
I like yours videos so much
The reason you have so few things is because in challenge mode you unlock things when you gain stars.
BIS your zoo will be croweded to hell once you installed all the mods, not that is nessesarily a bad thing as I presume you won't be like me and spend an hour building one enclosure...damn you all the building and scenary mods I have! Damn you!
On another note hurrah for more Zoo Tycoon 2!
Put a water filter next to the manta rays to automatically clean the water.
In JPOG, you didn't care at all about your guests. In fact, you even fed them to the Carcharadontosaurus. Why the sudden change?
Grab a soda, Grab a urination....

you don't have to click out trees. you can click the tree symbol on the treain thingy. sorry for my spelling I'm from sweden and I'm not so good at spelling
Just use the back arrow next to the eraser bulldozer to undo your building and get back all your money.
wow, this game is awesome! why haven't i ever heard of it!?
Hey this may be too much to ask but can you make a list of all the ZT2 Mods you used?
bis what you shouldve done when you were building the buildings was pause it because it would have had more time for donations
I feel absolutely bad for not knowing this game ever existed because it's totally awesome!!!
Is this for the PC?
+Jonathan Derryl Yep. It's a disc game for the PC.
+KomoriMiharu93 Thanks a lot!
+Jonathan Derryl You can only buy it from Amazon now, though.
+Velociraptors of Skyrim Got it! So, there's no way to get the game besides Amazon???
+Jonathan Derryl Well, the Walmart website. You cannot get it in a brick and mortar store if that's what you are asking.
i only have a few mods for this game but i'm getting more once i get my new computer
Aaahhh the memories
I might have to get this game again
Put more tropical coast creatures in with the manta rays because It would be disappointing to see a big tank with only three creatures
What mod is that thing that overhauled the menus and all that? I looked through the links, but I wasn't sure what it was called haha
Yay it's back
you should play petz ocean patrol. it fits in pretty well with what you do
I wish the challenge mode challenges appeared every where
NO
Kristen F YES
jac of harts fiiiiiiiine
How does your terrain look so realistic? I downloaded all your mods and I still have a cartoony look, please help.
I didn't even know there was a prologue video. Curse you sub box.
Is it too late to suggest one of the Deinonychus remake skins? :P
+Deinonychus If not, this one's the best: zt2downloadlibrary.wikia.com/wiki/Deinonychus_(Ultamateterex2)
BiS if you enjoy playing park builder games you should check out Dino Island its a few years old but its just such a good game and for me was even more fun to play then JP operation genesis
Hmmm... BIS... You didn't download Radical Remake Manta Ray nor the Kentrosaurus remake at nexus?Also I'll take it that you haven't download WWD Time of the Titans yet...
So awesome
So I'm playing this game on the same challenge mode, yet no guests come into my zoo, and the zoo is open.....how do you get people to come to your zoo? It's driving me crazy.
i love your vid
They NEED to add this game to steam and have a steam workshop for mods
Did anybody notice the face in the lady's hair when BIS was by the entrance?
Hay BIS could you make a list of your mods. That would be great.
+Jake Dobson Too many man, waaaay too many.
+BestInSlot your a lazy gamer
BestInSlot imagine jurrasic park in Zoo Tycoon 2. You can make one for yourself in freeform
just like operation genesis
+Austin Cannon there's a conversion mod that includes Jurassic Park Operation Genesis stuff into zoo tycoon. It looked like a straight port
+Aden Michalski oh
They really have to make zoo tycoon 3
Wait.......why is the menu theme song from ZT1?
this reminds me with black & white when r u gonna do the good run (if you're going to do so) :/
i have a humongous ammount of animals and a few other mods including radical remake and challange mode is not impossible i have made many 5 star zoos with it only some challanges can be a bfit hard
wat computer are you playing with? as far as I know, zoo tycoon no matter wat version doesnt run on windows 7 and much less windows 10. how are you getting yours to work?
Could you do a video on how to download and install radical remake
where are the mods from? would love to get back into zoo tycoon.
your awsome
could you put the file folder for all of the mods in the description
Season 2 yay
the fossil lab is pointing the wrong way. also does this work on WINDOS 8?
It works with Windows 8 and 10.
thanks can I download it or do I have to buy it from amazon?
callo jones You can download it from Pirate Bay, but I would recommend buying it from Amazon because I do not trust Downloads.
Its not too expensive anyway, very cheap for PC games.
+saurian I was talking about Pirate bay.
PRAISE THE SUPER KENTROSAURUS
download no grid mod so you can place tree and rocks together to make the exhibits more Beatiful
That exists?! I've got to find that! This video is the first I've ever heard about there being mods at all for this game
10:33 he likes his paths like he likes his women extra curvy.
I would highly reccomend NOT putting in gates into exhibits, and assigned zookeepers to particular exhibits, which they can't get out of, because of the lack of gates. If they aren't assigned and are allowed to leave they sit around on benches all day or at staff buildings.
i don't know why when i watched this video i want play this game again
You haven't the animal remakes from Radical Remake!?...
What mods do you currently have installed?
+Velociraptors of Skyrim At the moment just the UI/Biome Radical Remake ones.
+BestInSlot Thanks. Did you install the Indominus Rex?
+Ng D. Gb I think he did.
I just subscribed
they need to make a Really good graphic version of this game. it's all I would play lol
Also you can get it for both xbox 360 and one
+Mark Paine no not that terribe EA bullshit an actual tycoon game
+George Blake it's not made by ea
+Mark Paine I didn't say it was I believe they were the publishers still anything ea gets there hands on other than sports games goes to shit
+George Blake I dunno, the sims is pretty good.
I want to see trex and my favorite raptors:)
