Making myself an African savannah in Planet Zoo.
Like with most games I play, I don't play PZ the way it's intended to be played. I want to make a wildlife reserve in the game rather than a traditional zoo. So, no visitors and having to provide facilities for them. No planning out a path system that accommodate hundreds of people. No real animal exhibits, though there will be some invisible barriers just to keep certain kinds of animals together, since there's no real herding behavior in the game. But otherwise, just animals roaming freely about with some staff to take care of them, which is unfortunately necessary since the animals in the game can't be self-sufficient. For instance, they can't graze or browse to feed themselves, and while you can turn on predation in the game, the last time I checked, predators won't eat what they kill. They still have to be fed, so there's no point in turning predation on unless you just like to watch an animal chase and kill another. At least they will drink from rivers, so there's that.
Anyway, what I want to do is possible in the game's sandbox mode, where you can turn off lots of requirements and restrictions, but creating the thing will take a looooooong time. But that's OK. I'm in no rush, and I find it really relaxing to "build" in this game. Ideally, I'd like to eventually make one of these for each biome of each continent, but we'll see if I manage this one first. This little bit of "river" with some mud wallow enrichments for those animals who like them -- like warthogs and rhinos -- took me the better part of two days to "build," and it's only a tiny fraction of what I have planned....
Anyway, thought I'd share some pics.
