I got a lot of people asking for a follow on video from this. So here it is: ua-cam.com/video/uKudnkZC-c4/v-deo.html
something small i always like to do is trace the radius of the starting powersupply with sand or dirt. painting the ground is free and it makes it so much easier to know wether a building will be powered... just for quality of life while building my starting layout
But it dosnt matter.. you can have 500 of power things.. you will never run out of money
this is so smart!!!! i hate when i accidentally place something 2 meters away from the power
@@donkarnage6986 Have you ever played franchise mode?
@@donkarnage6986 This is talking about Franchise Mode, not Sandbox.
Great hack!!
holy crap snapping everything to the entrance building is a life saver.
This is a great tutorial for beginners and more seasoned players who always learn something new, like myself. One tip for beginners also that won't cost you money is to move the trees rather than delete them, then they don't cost anything and you don't lose any money. Then once you have more money you can then delete any unwanted trees. For absolute beginners, Adam it may be useful to show where they get food and water and bedding (although bedding isn't absolutely necessary, to begin with).
Good tip!
On pathing: if you choose to align the paths to the 'group 2' (aka with the buildings rather than inside the entrance), there are much less issues (ie the guest facilities will be perfectly aligned and the weird mid-path split won't happen).
Only 'downside' is there's a mid-split at your entrance for the first square and you'll have to manually connect the staff path to the main path like you do with the smaller staff buildings.
Hopefully anyone who's still using this tutorial like me will find this helpful Xx (I've come back to Planet Zoo after a year and having to relearn everything)
I'm going to sound super stupid but I wanted to thank you for making this video. It really helped alot to get through the first few steps and really start my own zoo. I had, for some reason, alot of anxiety to start as I didn't really know where to begin with but with your videos I am finally able to build my very own zoo and actually look at it and be proud. So, thank you, alot.
You didn't sound stupid! I make these video to help people so I am happy it has helped you and thank you for watching and commenting 😊
I watched this video right before starting my first franchise zoo and it was so helpful! I really appreciate you taking the time to make this. Thank you!
I’ve learned a lot watching this! Thanks 😀
Thank you! I feel much better prepared to try my first from scratch zoo. Your idea of using plaster walls is amazing!
Just picked up the game and learned so much from you, thanks and subscribed! Excited to watch your channel grow. :)
Thank you very much
thank you so much for this video, made making things so much easier!
I have to say thank you! I recently bought the game and my first zoo was a disaster, after watching this my zoo is perfect! Thank you!
hey thank you so much for this video, it was actually the reason i came back to the game because i always struggled to have a good start, thanks again
You're welcome
Started playing this yesterday, you’re a saint ❤️
Glad i could help :)
great video Adam! would love for you to keep playing this start so we can understand the next evolution.
Here is part 2 ua-cam.com/video/uKudnkZC-c4/v-deo.html
These start-up videos are always welcome! Never hurts to review the basics. Showing the grid set up is a great help! As is using that free power source. :)
Suggestions: Use the flatten terrain tool before pathing! Then, I would have left out the quarantine hut and veterinary surgery, and put in a staff room up front, leaving space for shops for a tiny bit later, after guests start asking for them. A water purifier is going to be needed right soon, too.
Note that putting Exhibits out very early next to the shop spaces brings people right in AND all selling the babies is a continual source of income! Not to mention that the exhibits fit nicely next to shops.
Yes! love having new building pieces to play about with
If you do that, it will be very crowed after a few 1000 of people?
This was incredibly helpful. Thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!
Learned a lot from this voice-cracking voice. Thank you for a very informative video.
mate this video has helped alot im new to planet zoo and didnt know how to start you've now shown me the way and i cant wait now! +1 sub well done mate
I'm happy it has helped you and welcome to planet zoo ! 😊
This vid was super helpful!! Thank you!
You're welcome 😊
Great basic starting layout. The only thing I do differently in my own franchises is I put in 4 exhibits first. They bring in SO much money to help pay for everything else.
Nice, thats a great idea x
I usually also start with 4 habitats and I dont put the staff buildings at the entrance but group the 4 habitats around the staff buildings right behind a plaza at the entrance. I found this much more efficient
I rarely earn any money with exhibits... I use fast breeding spiders and snakes and sell the offspring but its so much less money than my other zoo, which has a badger and deer enclosure,
@@voidling2632 i believe the best for money are golden Scorpions and the snails with the long ass names (at least in basegame don't know about the packs)
Almost 200 hours in this game and I’ve never even touched franchise mode 😂 this was helpful!
Thank you for a tutorial that *Finally* taught me how to build on the grid....I've got over 400 hours in game and have started over and over a billion times because everything looked so basic and nothing lined up. It opened a new game for me! Much appreciated even a year after you made it. I appreciate you not speed-building through this tutorial as well. I needed to pause and build along and that's what finally made the light bulb switch on over my head! It's one thing for someone to tell you how to do it, and another to do it yourself.
Great tutorial and great voice cracks
OMG, thank you so much. I would have never thought of using regular Building walls as Habitats
This is a fantastic tutorial. I'm new to the game and have been somewhat overwhelmed by the prospect of starting anew in Franchise Mode, but this is super helpful. Subbed!
Hey, I'm happy it helped you and thanks for the sub!
Figuring out barriers and walls and how everything works in this game is annoying but worth it. I needed this to see how to start profitable, thank you for the series.
AWESOME VID TY!
This REALLY helped. It's a slow start but it works and you gotta be patient
Glad it helped you !
Just returning to the game - fantastic tutorial, keep up the great work !
Thanks glad you like it 😊
Literally just found your channel, as a fairly new Planet Zoo player, this is super helpful! I get over excited & over decorate too early on and each time I open a new zoo I tell myself not to but it never goes to plan XD Thank you for this! 😄
Great as always Adam love the warthogs ❤xxxx
❤️❤️
I really enjoyed this video Adam , You Rock Man 🤟🤟🤟💯❤
Thanks buddy! 😁
Adam I am having problems having the glass set up correctly like you showed here
Thx, some great tips!
Totally new to the game but your tutorial was incredible. Subbing and hoping you have many more I can learn from ✨
Welcome amd thanks! I have loads of planet zoo tutorials and speed build videos. Enjoy! 😀
Adam thank you very much for this educational editorial video. I am really grateful! I can't wait for Part2 and I would like a video about the keyboard hotkeys. Again, excellent job!
Thanks, glad it helped. Part 2 link is pinned to the top of the comments 😁
@@adamup If I may ask, can you do a tutorial about those three different coloured lines when rotating objects and what they mean and which hotkeys we use from the keyboard? Please and thank you in advance 💘
@@dimitrismaacgd2810 this is a video i have thought about creating.. And although i do not fo video requests, keep your eyevin the channel and you may see this video soon 👌
@@adamup excellent, thank you very much, you can share the comment in the video so everyone notices this is a request, as soon as I see it. From all the planet zoo content creators, you are one of the few whom I like the voice so much and J enjoy listening to your voice
I’ve started my first franchise, & I’m well off with money about 2mil, with 100+ animals in it, I’ve done roughly the same as you, but the viewing areas, I’ve used a different path, so the customers don’t get all bunged up in the area, my path overall is concrete, and the viewing ones are wood, and works quite well😅 hoping to start a new franchise soon, I’m currently building an area for more staff facilities😵💫
If I could +👍 this multiple times, I would. BEYOND helpful, thank you so much!!!
Very nice tutorial! 👌
Ty
I hope this helped people out ! You can check out my other planet zoo stuff here: ua-cam.com/play/PL_zYjUiAFtSUpwbxSy9PBH05U6xzdDiv6.html
Im just getting into this game and having such a fun time, after loving the first 18 hours of messing around in Franchise mode, I got the DLCs and now am gonna try to actually make a dream reptile zoo. Amazing tutorial, my first zoo was such a mess lol
Welcome to the planet zoo community!
My first zoo was so ugly hahaha
@@emmiwee1000 mine too lol
Personally with the trees I like to just select all of them and bunch them up in a back corner so I don't have to spend money deleting them and they're out of the way 😊
I would suggest placing guest facilities bit away from roads, say one or two 4x4 squares. Reason for this is because guest facilities will sooner or later have a queue of guests waiting to buy things. If they are too close to main roads, guests who wait in queue will just block main road. Otherwise, nice tutorial for new players
Nice! This is so similar of how I play challenge mode xd
Great minds think alike
hey bud thank you for this series
You are welcome :)
Thank you so much for this! My first zoo was a mess and this set me off to a great start. My education is only 4% even though I did what you did. Did I do something wrong?
Cheers!
You're welcome 😊
This is sooo cool 😝😝😝
Thank you!
OMG finally a way to be more asymmetric.
Thank you. This will help a lot.
I love this game but I really struggle with building and construction (I even have trouble placing paths correctly. All my zoos look terrible!
How do you move the plaster (for the viewing windows) up and down while in group mode. Can’t work it out.
Hold shift and move mouse up or down
Great video thanks for posting. 1 question at 16:50 how did you move the plaster wall up i can not figure out how you do that?
Thanks! Just hold shift and move mouse up
Thank you!
8:01 and the even more advanced Players know that the "street" createt by the shop is not a street but acctually an "queue" the longer the path the longer the queue, the less guests complain about unreachable shops or shops with a full queue. ;)
And the retail workers are way less Bored if poeple acctually are using the queue ;) ;)
Honestly using what instead of that all the time confuses my brain so much. But the tutorial is helpful thanks.
Great! I have one problem tho, i cant put the glass barrier inside the walls ;(
I'm kind of a beginner and had some difficulties follow the building. For me it's much easier to build with regular fences. And I've must done something wrong with the path right from the start..the visitors don't enter the zoo and leave it right at the entrance..
My power aint reaching the habbitats. Soo i had to tweak it in my own way to make my own layout. But this helped me alot of how to think. Btw im on console.
I almost lost my shit trying to make that enclosure but damn it looks nice. I can’t get the door or glass to duplicate tho.
I love this video and can get the pathing down but when I go to work on the habitat I keep messing up. I'm going to try again but I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I wish the habitat was on your workshop page so I could download it.
thanks bro
You're welcome
It’s weird because since the game has came out I’ve kept up with EVERYTHING. I only just got the game this year. Even though I’m technically a newbie, I’ve been watching planet zoo content since the game came out
at 6:09 my two buildings would not connect kept getting obstructed message I was so frustrated, I finally picked up the building and set it back down in the same spot and that worked. just thought id put that out there if someone else is having same issue
Just a few add ons. Make sure you put staff building also and you can even use null barrier and glass windows. Also don't forget you can copy the first habitat and paste to the other side to make it a little quicker
As I wrote this it showed the copy and paste 😅 so perfect!
While yes you can use glass windows I dont think you can make them one way
@@bryancurdi451 i thought i did see there was one way glass panels.. i could totally be wrong but i feel like ive seen them.
@@madpandagaming1881 I'm just saying about the one way glass because soem animals are really shy but other than that the animals that are neutral or confident with humans I don't think it matters
I take it you didn't watch the video at all. He did all of those things.
This game satisfies my OCD issues.
I take that back. habitat door placement made me rage quit. I have better luck building in Ark. Why would I play a game that pissed me off and frustrates me?
@@emperorkrulos6671 Well I know your commentary is 9 months old but I've just got this problem too with habitat doors, so the game doesn't like when your barriers are too close to the pathways and you can't really put up doors that's just it. That's the secret. Just make sure your habitat doors are placed before your barriers (If you really want to make your habitat close to the pathways. Or just build the barriers 2m out in a safe distance. That being said though people are really really advanced in this game they don't even use normal barriers, they use terrain elevations, water, rocks, it's really vast as I am in the process of discovering it too! I hope you can still enjoy this beautiful game someday!
I would love a tutorial on what animals are the best for starting out. Some species such as flamingos are so useful because they live a very long time and are affordable. If you buy 2 breeding pairs you don't really have to worry about inbreeding ever again as they mate for life.
More brilliant animals to get are the American alligator or saltwater crocodile. Although they're more expensive, they live an extremely long time so will make you a lot of money in donations. They also have no social needs so you only need to buy 1 animal for an enclosure.
I'm sure there are more animals, but I haven't played the game enough to work out the rest yet.

For the habitat gate, could you not just use the shop door piece?
I coudn't figure out why you went all the way around with null barrier after putting in the gate, until it kept asking me to fix my habitat. Then I went... that's why! Then I put zebras into the duplicated habitat and they immediately escaped through the hole in the wall because it seem duplicating doesn't duplicate glass. Haha!
Haha
great idea for the copy paste ..just dosnt take my "invisible" barriers along.. so i have to remake it -.-
I've been trying to do this, copying it exactly, but it's not letting me duplicate the habitat. I added a rocky border along the top of the panels, but it says, 'Cannot duplicate more than one building at a time'. I'm not selecting any buildings? I've deleted the rocky border and I'm getting the same message. I can save it as a blueprint, but it's then nearly impossible to place accurately because I can't seem to place it on the grid. What have I done wrong?
he i recognize this is paulsley layout! :) or atleast thats where i got introduced to this layout. your profile pic reminds me of that paulsleys style icon too as well as becky,s :)
How did it let you rotate while building the walls? I've tried while in the group, and it won't let me rotate. Also dp you have a video on how to build stairs to view above like you mentioned with the warthog?
Press Z on keyboard to rotate walls that are on the grid while selected. As for the stairs I don't have one specific for that but I do have pathing tutorials on the channel
Great tutorial, but I'm hoping you can help me with one thing. When I've finished my enclosures and put my doors on (as shown in the video) my zoo keepers don't enter them. I try to place animals in the enclosures but it seems like the doors don't work..I've done it the exact same way in this video
If you can not put animals in then the barrier is either incomplete or the path to the door is not connected
My non-sandbox zoos always go bankrupt.
So this game has been out for ages, and instead of dealing with the horrendous path creating system, they just keep expecting people to buy dlc after dlc. I get grass growing through paths, paths not connecting properly, getting black lines running across paths. Paths as you explained not connecting to buildings, requiring a delete and replace. Trenches running under if you click flatten terrain. I'm sure some of these issues are me not quite understanding how to do things, but come on, I've only played a few hours and I'm not sure I want to continue. So frustrating. I used to play Rollercoaster Tycoon 20 years ago and it wasn't this much of a joke.
16:55 It would have been nice if you had explained how to go make the wall go up...
Basic game control: hold shift
Im a new player and it wont allow me to add the facilities to the group or grid do you have any suggestions on what could fix this problem. My buildings just passthrough each other as i try to place them and the button that says add to building doesnt show up.
When you are selecting a building, in the bottom right there are settings options. Click add to current building
@@adamup thank you so much, cant wait to start building!
Hi, I followed step by step but I get an error saying path has no destination and the null barrier is yellow not blue would that make a difference?
Make sure habitat gate is connect to the path and that all nill barriers are connected. If still not working then put animals in quarantine before placing in habitat
2:10 Unfortunately the devs have removed this function. Stupid of them to have done this. Just like you can no longer build your own entrance.
10:30 that is not a problem and not an bug in the game. Its you not knowing that the existing path belongs to the main gate as an separate Building, therfore the path dont want to connect since it does not belong to the Building. you delating the path disconects it from the original Building what you layed out with the grid. Sorry to be that direct but its simply not a game problem its as so often an user problem.
I never said it was bug or deny it wasn't my fault, I simply stated that the path system I and others struggled with
16:56 how you move that piece up - i can't do that in any way i tried??? Thank you!
Hold shift on your keyboard and move mouse
@@adamup That's it! Thank you!!!
I tried adding a gate and it wouldn't let my door face outwards. And also I couldn't make the glass close to the wall thingy without there being a gap in between.
That's strange, if you follow what i do in the video, you shouldn't have any problems, just like i didnt
hi, i cannot do the step on 4:11, it only says obstructed and there is no group to select. do you maybe know why is that?
i do not have the "add to building" option like you do
I can’t make the paths a square shape even when aligning to grid, how to I make them square?
Bottom right menu when you have a path selected; tick "square edges"
Snapping to the starting building is causing major problems for me, buildings are sinking into the ground and the vet is in same place as yours but apparently isn't there. Anyone else have similar issues?
It won't let me copy paste it, nor place the null barrier in the wall 🥺
Does the doorway wall piece not work with habitat doors?
You can place the habitat gate in it and petty much anything even solid wall and your zoo keeper will still use it
just move the tree's :) Won't cost you money ;)
I’m new and I’m starting my zoo by doing this but my path is round not square how do I fix this
With a path selected, go to path settings (bottom right of screen) and tick on square edges.
I Love the video, But as I am going step by step with you nothing is working how it is working for you, So far I couldn't do the initial path hint due to obstruction, and now I cannot add the staff buildings to the main entrance grid like you did! What am I doing wrong!?!
It's very hard to see where you are going wrong without watching you play the game but for adding buildings to a group, make sure in the options bottom right that add building to existing group is ticked then hover the building over the entrance and left click to add it to that group
@@adamup I was able to figure out how to add the building to the entrance grid last night on my own. Now all I have issues with is getting the pathing from the entrance grid, it says obstructed. I know its a small issue lol but I'm like WORK FOR ME!!!! :p Other than that, great tips on the rest of the build.
I have a question, I have been following this guide step by step, however my quarentine says inefficient, please can you explain what that means and how to fix it as I can't move my animals there
There is no reason for it to say that, if you patgs are connected, you have staff employed and it has power and if you mean it says that but it still works then dont worry about it
@@adamup paths are all connected up to it that's why I can't work out why it isn't working
@@haylzx1730 could be a bug, report it to frontier
inefficient doesnt mean that its not working, but rather that its, well inefficient, cause the building costs upkeep but since you dont have animals inside, it doesnt break even. But when you cant put animals inside and you're sure the paths are connected, maybe the quarentine isnt in the same work zone as the keepers hut and the vet, so the staff wont go there
👎It went bad, Adam I tried your tutorial and i followed it step by step but then when i was gonna place my warthogs in, it said cant place do you know whats happening? Edit: I checked my whole Enclosure and it was all secure tight walls and no holes.
did you put in habitat gate and null barriers ? if so and still dousnt let you place animal, put in trade centre, press play and try to place in again making sure the path is also connected to the habitat gate
can anyone help i don't have any guests coming to my zoo
how do you rotate without having to press z and hold it?
Double tap x to rotate. This video I did will help:ua-cam.com/video/aUYzSwXeIUY/v-deo.html
I cannot duplicate the enclosure.
Also, this makes my autistic heart happy. Why do I need to make my zoo with random organic shapes? I will happily make a square zoo and why not make it in fantasy colours too? 🤣
i need your help for real the game dont do for me like yours can you help me plss?
Could you elaborate
so i just got this game today... i thought its similar to zoo tycoon but it doesn have a starting internal tutorial? I can't even find where to make path, and everything is confusing! And i select facilities, the screen for the making part is just black, cannot do anything. Zoo tycoon is easier
Play the campaign mode
Career mode is the tutorial mode!
What if you don't have 1-way glass?
Just use normal 😁
When I try put my animals in the habitat all it says is “invalid destination”
did you put in the habitat barrier and door ?
Make sure you are on "play" before you move them in there. luv u
Tried this and all my buildings are inaccessible, advice?
Are all paths connected?
This game is an OCD nightmare
And is for perfectionists in general (me being one of them x3x'')
