hello i'm thinking of buying planet zoo and i was wondering why you arranged the staff rooms the way u did and how it's effective? :o
Heya :) this will come as no surprise but I HIGHLY recommend Planet Zoo - I am thoroughly loving it 😍 I usually don’t buy games until a few months after their initial release so that I don’t have to deal with all the early bugs and crashes, but I could not resist this game lol
As for the staff zones, there are a few reasons. Firstly the staff have to physically run back and forth from habitats to tend to the animals, so it’s good to have a Keeper Hut fairly near to your habitat so that the animals don’t get hungry. It’s also useful having a trade center and a vet nearby for when you want to add new animals or if they get injured. Also you need a few different keeper huts to keep all the habitats fed as even if you had five habitats close to one hut, it would not be able to sustain them all (I think??). I basically have 1 staff zone to every 2 habitats, with 2 keepers assigned to that zone (except for the sarafi because its so big). Finally you need to keep the staff zones away from the guests as their happiness goes down if they see a staff building. So that’s why I have them tucked behind habitats or at the back of the zoo.
I hope that helps! I’m thinking of writing a long post about the building of the zoo and my tips for starting a sucessful franchise! :)
