1 tile exhibit mod (or similar) for zt1? Does it exist?

[zoonostalgia93]

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!

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.

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. :)

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

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