Graphics are lovely. Thanks for this great working building. Guests love it.

I'll look into editing it for my own game. Thanks.

Each ingame animal has its own requirements so you would have to hack each animal. And that would cause problems with the various animal hacks that are already out there. There are already a few animal hacks for the Dino Digs critters. Not all ingame want big exhibits. African Warthog only wants 12 tiles per animal. African elephant wants 50 per animal Lion only wants 20 per animal

Ah, I should have been clearer. I would not be actually making exhibits 1 tile in size, but rather would just like to make them smaller than what's required in vanilla! Sorry about that. :)

I doubt it cos the animal would not survive. The zookeeper needs to be able to enter and to place food. There are a number of birds here at Tek that require a minimum of 5 tiles. Many of Hawkkeyes animals do not require many. Also ZA did the baby animal packs which are currently not available but I think they like any terrain. The Download Directory does list the minimum size needed for animals, and the minimum number as well. Hacks are not a good thing for this game cos they often conflict with each other causing problems.

Sorry if this is the wrong area to ask! Is there a mod anyone knows of for zt1 that brings all base animal exhibit size requirements to just 1 tile? I've been looking everywhere to see if a mod like this exists, all I can find is one for zt2, and a mod I found (which title escapes me at the moment) that made the animal happy regardless of their exhibit overall (i.e. lions in the snow), but that felt a little much for me, haha. I was hoping to find some kind of exhibit size hack because some animals need a considerably large exhibit before they're happy. Alternatively, if this is something that doesn't exist, is it feasible to make? I don't know the first thing about modding this game but I'd be curious enough to learn for something like this, I think. Thanks in advance!

Đổi sprite thì được, nhưng thường nếu thay cả mô hình và thiết kế thì cách mọi người hay làm là làm 1 con hoàn toàn mới, có frame sprite đủ cho 8 góc nhìn, xong nếu muốn thì code cho nó là một con riêng hoặc đè lên thay con cũ.

View File Indian Peafowl (ZTU) by Willie T Indian Peafowl (ZTU) by Willie T Part of the ZTU Collection Date Listed: Again a whole new animal, this time an Indian Peafowl made by designer Willie T. As he shows his beautiful feathers to you, you will see that it's a great animal for your game. The male is different to the female (of course) and you finally can have some beauty in your zoo. Update: The animal has been fixed of crashing using the freeform unlock. Update 2: New sound added Update 3: Shows up in scenarios too now Originally released: September 2003 Current ztu_indianpeafowl.ztd dated 20 July 2026 Updated July 20, 2026 by Jay and includes some changes made by Jordan in 2007. This was updated to prevent the animal from disappearing sometimes when rotating a zoo, to make the sound file smaller without changing how it sounds, to have the sound play as often as intended, to adjust the spacing and punctuation in the animal info and animal tooltip, to have images without backgrounds for the animal list window, to allow the animal to appear in the purchase menu for the MM Kid's Map and zoos based on that, to have the preferred object tooltip match the preferred object image, to have females move at the same speed as males, to give ZT more time to check if a tranquilizer dart hit an escaped animal, and to remove duplicate images and unnecessary files and configuration lines.

I buy the compost building as soon as the game allows because it converts my raked poop into cash for my zoo. But I hide it way far away from all I've built so far because guests think its gross. 🤮😯❗️

Ah thank you, I was wondering if maintenance workers actually used it. I don't play the game so I just go by what the config says, and often it LIES.

From Jay: BF thought about having guests use ZT's compost. Its configuration says the user goes inside and has a guest thought configured, though the guest thought would be negative. But BF decided not to have guests use the building. Its configuration does not have slot info, which would be necessary to be used. And the only thing in the Satisfies is "compost".

I never even realised the compost building could hide users? :o Great theme though!

mình vừa mới mở lại để check thì thấy tin nhắn của bn, mình drop zt1 r, mình h chơi Planet Zoo và JWE3, thấy tin nhắn của bn thì mình làm nhanh 1 cái frame này, mình không biết là thay đổi đc frame sprites của kl ko?, mình khá là thiếu kinh nghiêm về mấy cái này

I discovered that somehow in the mists of the past couple years I managed to merge, erase, who knows what, all of my UC Marine animal files. Typically I would be stunned and angry but I am feeling "Well that happened." <shrug> Start over again. Any suggestions on sites or creator/mods to rebuild quickly, if possible? Anyway, I'll be doing a lot exploring and sorting now.

That's the orca's food.

Today I modeled a sandbag thinking to make a pile of them on a palette: But when I rendered it just looked like a pile of seal corpses so anyway that's not happening.

Looks like between the ZA Pile Pack, the RDingFT pack and these there will be lots of behind the scenes stuff. Rick did a crane way back too.

One is coming for this pack! Here's these palettes of random stuff that will be in the pack as well A feed silo: Also a tall shelf I haven't rendered yet. I'm honestly having trouble coming up with different ways that backstage can be stored for a zoo in a convincing way. Great ideas thank you! I'll see how I can integrate a few.

I like single and 2 storrey warehouses decor. Maybe forklift decor model, empty or holding pallets, and a lady in a hardhat with a clipboard or flat computer in hand for inventory. And a figure pointing or stop hand signals for safety and traffic control. Maybe a EV recharging station for electric carts used around the zoo. Themed zoos e.g., Western, Alien/Space, Ancient Cultures have things going on with modern conveniences guests do not see. Perhaps signs "Pirates Only" or "Santas Only" or "Witches Guild Only" or "Bee Keepers Only" or "Zoo Fairies Only" or "Pyro Techs Only" for special celebrations? I've been using the China? silk and tea and cabbage items to show unloaded foods, so modern items are nice behind the scenes with the already available Maintenance Shed and calendar signs.

I think there is a setting in the code for animals that determines how "attractive" ithey are, meaning how much the guests will enjoy seeing each animal. I took advantage of this feature to test if tour guides were really worth it. I used the wildebeest instead of the African lion because the guests didn't really care for the wildebeest. In contrast, they all love the lion! If you'd like to know, the tour guide did increase guest happiness when all the people had to gawk at was a lame undulate.

The guests favourite animal is chosen from all the animals in Zoo Tycoon so it could be any ingame animal or any user made animal. It seems random the way that is chosen. ZTUF used to do a birthday contest where you had a hour (or maybe 2) to make an exhibit for the first guests favourite animal. I remember restarting my zoo a couple of times cos I got something notoriously difficult. Exhibit Construction: Number of animals allowed per exhibit: 1-10 with 10 squares for each adult Exhibit size (for 2 adults): 20 grid squares Terrain (for exhibit with 20 grid squares): 13 Rainforest Floor, 2 Dirt, 4 Grass, 1 Fresh Water Foliage (for exhibit with 20 grid squares): 3 grid squares should contain foliage. Foliage that would give the most happiness: Foxtail Palm Tree Since this is a small plant, greatest happiness will occur if each of the 3 grid squares contains 4 of this plant. Rocks (for exhibit with 20 grid squares): 4 Small Rock, which is its most liked rock Elevation: Of the 20 squares, 0 nonadjacent squares should be elevated

Guests don't seem to like Binturong aka Bearcat. In a test zoo guests walk to exhibit take a look, turnaround and walk off. Might this have something to with not being a guest's favorite animal? Or a low setting in large pack folder?

We're expanding the scope of this pack to be more about sustainability than just windmills and solar panels. I've finished some compost bins that function identically to the compost building except users wait outside instead of inside, since, well, there is no inside.

Good to see they already exist. Those are nice and they would fit nicely with these items.
