Episode 7 of my Whipsnade Zoo recreation is now up. In this episode I focus on enclosures for some of the smaller mammals in the zoo and make the otter island and red panda enclosure. Featuring a concrete-lined moat, nest boxes and an underground otter house!

Hey guys, a nice chilled episode of Whipsnade Zoo recreation this week in which we get the waterfowl lake sorted. Featuring lots of terrain work, lots of water and lots of planting!
Is Planet Zoo worth buying and what are your thoughts on it?
I might buy it because it looks more realistic than Zoo Tycoon 2 and it would be easier to recreate real life zoos in it. But what do you think?

Simple answer yes, the game is clearly the best zoo building game that has been created.
You will need a decent spec PC to really enjoy it, atm the DLC packs are not worth it due to the price and the amount of animals you get in my opinion but other more creative players say it is due to the scenery items.
Like any game it can be frustrating at times but enjoyable. Youtube will show you mostly players that like the creative side, I enjoy the management side and building a zoo and re-inventing it. It is quite flexible in how you wish to play it.

I’d say it’s worth it! I think you almost get as much out of the game as you want to put in and it does get easier the more you play!
Next episode of my Whipsnade recreation is up! This one focusses on the squirrel monkey island

Hey guys, something a bit different this week in my Whipsnade Zoo recreation - making the main zoo restaurant. Featuring a covered BBQ area, custom tables and chairs and lots of detailing!
So, the minimum system requirements to run the game are 8GB RAM and recommended is 12GB. I may have to get a new laptop soon, I was hoping to wait until I had a better job to get a 12GB but my current laptop is having issues and a 12GB is a little more than I want to spend right now. (I'm still poking around for good deals though) Do any of you play it on 8GB and if so, how does it run?

I run it on 8gb of ram and its fine, do get a bit of lag when building big buildings but for how I play the game its been fine.

Hey guys, this week I completed two very different builds - the terrain-heavy ostrich paddock and a small-scale, fiddly aviary (plus some bits in between). Featuring a ‘netted roof’, lots of trees and some planning for the future!

Hey guys, a fairly simple build this week where I finally do the wattled crane enclosure and some of the surrounding areas that still needed filling in. Featuring custom tree guards, a zookeeper tools prop set and an army of trees!
