Hi everyone, I’m really happy to finally be part of the Zoo Tek Phoenix community! I’ve been a long-time fan of Zoo Tycoon. My name is Miguel Ángel. I’m excited to download some mods to enhance my zoos. I used to play the game as a child, and now I’ve started playing it again. I really enjoy trying to create the perfect exhibits. Thanks to the admins for having me. Best regards, Miguel Ángel

Hello all! Sorry I haven't been as active as I was on here. I was going through a heart monitor study for SVT (arrythmia) and I also had some other personal life things going on outside of ZT1. I am going to put the new bird zoo on the back burner for now (it's not cancelled!) and hold off on making more zoos until Hawkeye's Australian bird pack is released (super excited about this one). I have completed two zoos recently, one being the Surf 'N' Turf scenario (this one was fun to build!) and one that is themed off of the Pacific Northwest using the Marine Mania 'Islands' map. I'm also planning on making an African and Australian themed zoo in the future using a majority of my African and Australian savannah animals. Even though I already made a smaller African savannah zoo before, I really want to try out the 'Ancient Land's' zoo map and build the ultimate African/Australian hybrid zoo. I feel like my zoo building skills are starting to improve. I've been watching The Checkered Cheetah's/Thunder 55's videos on YouTube to get inspiration and I felt like I've gotten the hang of building amazing yet efficient zoos. 😊❤️

I haven´t released my budgie? I´ll release it in some time (now I am quite busy with my real life work, next week I am going on a holiday so I have a lot of things to settle before). So at worst I´ll release it after I return. Budgie + some friends.

Hey, great accomplishments can take time... They look fabulous! And I love the stands, first rate.

Made the icons. clearly 8 months worht of work. one per month.

Those will go nicely with the adobe stuff.

We should start playing a game of spot the difference from the previous update.

That fence is a really nice color and the screenshot displays it really well. That blue foliage is pretty too

Have released it. It can be found in this post with the others Post and Rail Fences

From Jay: Trash bins, including picPbfTrashCanBear.ztd, are configured to allow access from all 4 sides. ZT will have the guest use the closest unblocked side, though usually (but not always) tries to keep the guest on a path. Therefore it doesn't actually matter which direction the trash bin faces. But when there is a concern, rotate the scenery purchase menu view so that the benches face to the bottom right. That will make all the objects in the scenery purchase menu have their main view (called the SE view) facing to the bottom right.

"Myself, the most famous hispanic" and then "humbly agree" HAHAHAHAHA

Welcome to ZTP, Miguel! Hope you have a wonderful time here!

Qué bueno e interesante ver que gente hispanohablante sigue integrándose a la comunidad. Bienvenido una vez más a ZT. ~~ How nice and interesting to see how spanish speaking people keeps joining the community. Welcome back to ZT once more.

Those symptoms sound frightening, I'm so sorry Haley. Wishing better control of this for you. And always, we love seeing your zoo projects.

I'm really sorry to hear about your SVT (arrythmia) It's good that you did the heart monitor study. Please take good care of yourself! We look forward to seeing your zoos when you're up to building. However, health comes first.

Thank you so much for the kind response! I didn't realize I could post updates in there. I'll definitely keep that in mind! I was diagnosed with supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) and I've been hospitalized several times for it. I get what I consider to be "chest spasms" where my heart rate goes very fast and I get chest pain as well as pain in my arms and shortness of breath. Every time I went to the hospital for it they gave me adenosine (which calms down the heart). They had to administer it TWICE the last time I went to the emergency room for it. It really sucked. I've played the first Zoo Tycoon as a kid and I have a lot of nostalgia for it. I also didn't realize that you could download mods for it until I rediscovered Zoo Tycoon September of last year. In my honest opinion, mods seem to make the game even more fun for me (especially with a lot of animals to choose from and new restaurants!) I'm glad to be in this community and sharing my passion for animals here on Zoo Tek Phoenix. 💕😊

You might want to start a thread here for future updates. Just so you know! And it's nice to see how dedicated you are to zoo building! Have fun! 🐼🐯🦄 And I'm praying for your arrhythmia to get better. 🥺🫀🙏🏻🩷

Although the budgies would be small they would be so cute, bright yellow and blue. Makes me miss my little blue budgie CoCo.

Finally have an ingame screen! Notice the vendor isn't very idle. The used animation is there in its place just to test.

pan de muertos yeah

Uintatherium Eohippus Diatryma Heptodon, Helaletes and Presbyornis Moeritherium and Apidium Arsinoitherium Palaeoloxodon falconeri Paraceratherium Megaloceros giganteus Llallawavis Tapirus augustus And that concludes the tour.

Thank you. Next comes the South America and Mesoamerica section. Irritator Tupandactylus and Pterodaustro Glyptotherium and Eremotherium Austroraptor Dreadnoughtus Purussaurus Josephoartigasia

Arizonasaurus and Desmatosuchus Longisquama Dilophosaurus Jurassic Islands with... Archaeopteryx and Compsognathus and Chungkingosaurus and Gigantspinosaurus

Welcome Miguel!

Hi Miguel Angel! Welcome to Tek! We're glad to have you here with us. Make yourself at home.

You should never edit with APE as it adds problems back in, especially the versions of APE prior to APExp 3.2 Use Zoot which is available at DG.

Could it be this? Tribal Pack by Genkicoll

Thank you so much! 💕😊

Thank you so much! I really appreciate all of the kind comments. 💕

It's fine. I understood what he was doing when you explained the true context. Wiping the counter on idle just made sense to my brain.

I didn't want to animate every single foodstuff with the relevant mimed gestures because it's not one of my strengths yet. But really I just really didn't want to lol. What I ended up trying to do was make a generic "look at me I'm doing things with my hands and *slap on counter* there you go". And if it was real life they'd also be like "the tablet is just going to ask you a quick question." The idle animation is just him looking back and forth. Can be seen in the animated group screen above with all of the stands together.

My attempt at building a Jurassic Park style raptor pen.

A couple days ago I built this mostly wetland themed zoo with extinct animals. Cotylorhynchus Estemmenosuchus Lystrosaurus Edaphosaurus and Diplocaulus Jaekelopterus Acanthostega Rhizodus

I really have wanted not to see the tanks at times so we have been experimenting. And this lovely screen of a manta ray is one of our results. It is really fun to watch the ray moving around feeding....But this is not what I meant. Here is a teaser for a couple of new things We are working on a few new things including new Atlantean stuff including a show tank. Some new rocky things that do things they are not supposed to. And more of my coloured things.

Jay plays:

Just for you. I wanted a shorter arch so here it is. Plus one of the broken parts.

Been mostly lurking on here for about a year now, I guess it's time for my first post on this amazing forum. Yesterday classes at my campus got cancelled so I stayed home and built a quick zoo on the small volcanic island map. I recently downloaded Buffzoo's 2020s style Spinosaurus, so I wanted to do something with that. Additionally used were animals by Lapis, Hendrix and Zarawatto.

Have created some broken ones for scenery. Been side tracked a little and recolouring another new arch.

They are buoys to go in water.

oooooh I love how you play about That happened to me sooo many times Sady I have not the skills to do anything as skillfull as you can Love the mermaid and seahorse coming from these bottles I love to get my hands on those

This one came about from my frustration in the last contest. These two screens show something I wanted to do but ZT prevented.

Are you asking for ZT1 or ZT2? For ZT1: Almost every item that you download will be zipped (all of Tek Phoenix's should be zipped, but some sites don't zip theirs), so the first step is to unzip your item. You'll now have a .ztd file, and possibly a text and picture file. Any .txt or .jpg you see are just for your information, and you can put them anywhere you like. The .ztd file goes in your game slightly differently if you don't have the Complete Collection, so I'll tell you both ways: If you have CC, the .ztd goes in your dlupdate folder, usually found here: C:/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Zoo Tycoon/dlupdate folder If you don't have a dlupdate folder, then put the .ztd in your Updates folder C:/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Zoo Tycoon/Updates folder Any .dll files you download go in your main Zoo Tycoon folder C:/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Zoo Tycoon For ZT2, there are various ways to install the files, but here is the easiest (in my opinion): Unzip and place the .z2f file in your Zoo Tycoon folder, which is usually found here: C:/Program Files/Microsoft Games/Zoo Tycoon 2 folder
