This was absolutely fantastic, thanks so much! I've been struggling with a beaver/moose habitat recently and this is exactly the kind of thing I've been wanting to know! I'd also love to see a video on your planting schemes and good foliage for different biomes because I think your use of foliage work is some of the best in the PZ community and I'm always looking for good tips on how best to use it in my zoos!
I'm trying reaaaaaally hard this time to not get discouraged from these videos, but rather the opposite. It takes a lot, because damn, everything you do is amazing and my builds are utter shite... 😢 xD But, having said that, your encouraging attitude and your endless tutorial content is something that I really appreciate!
Thank you so much for this tutorial!! I think it will improve my work a lot especially with that "flatten to terrace" tool I haven't used like at all before this.
Your tutorials tend to be a bit longer than others which bait viewers into clicking and thinking they will learn the same stuff in less time. The truth, however, is, that by learning more precisely and better you then save time while playing. So in other words: I thank you, also on behalf of the Capybaras waiting in my trade centre, for another great tutorial.
@@RudiRennkamel haha hey still gotta wait because I am neither as good or quick at building as are you. But slowly I’m building a paradise for them which I hope they’ll love.
I bought the game in the Steam sale a couple weeks ago. This was extremely helpful. So far my zoo still looks extremely primitive but this is giving me ideas.
I really enjoyed this video, it's just amazing what you can do (and what you did). I tried to use the same technique, but the shallow terrasse doesn't allow me to put water anymore :( I don't know if it's still working for you but I followed every step toroughly and it didn't work :( Do you stay on the click when using the shallow terrassing ? Maybe that's my issue ? I still love your videos and content
Frohes neues Jahr! ✨Endlich verstehe ich wie das Wasser in dem Spiel funktioniert und wieso es für mich nie so funktioniert, wie ich es gern will. Super hilfreiches Tutorial! Danke dir. ♥
21:30 Noob tipp: If you make a copy of the whole set of faux stones you placed you can then come back to that copy should you accidentally mess up the building by splitting the group or adding non customizable things to it.
@@RudiRennkamel nope, I typed faux and also aquatic separately, I don't have the smaller ones. Are they from a separate pack from aquatic? I don't have all the packs 🤭
At 26:08 when I try to pull the terrain, it doesn't go over the rock 🤔 It create a little bump but next to the rock and there's a little gap between. I don't know if i'm explaining it right cause english is not my language !
Hi Rudi! Thank you for posting this tutorial :D I am really eager to follow along with it but my flatten to terrace tool creates more of a gradient from the center rather than a harsh edge. Also the flatten to foundation tool lowers the pool even futher, so in the end the riverbank doesn't end up being as shallow as I would like. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Use the water-bowl from habitats and lower them ever so slightly to get the shallow pool level you want - they flatten the area around them in about a meter or two radius around them.
Rudi ich habe ein Problem 😢. Ich habe alles so eingestellt wie du unten rechts, aber das Wasser kann ich trotzdem nicht bis zum Rand füllen. Auch wenn ich Gewässer auf einer anderen art bauen möchte, muss ich immer sehr tiefe Löcher machen, damit ich überhaupt Wasser einfüllen kann. Am ende bleibt immer mindestens ein Höhenunterschied von 1 bis 2 meter zwischen Wasser und Gelände. Ich möchte auch so flache Becken haben, damit meine Tiere vernünftig ins Wasser kommen, und nicht so komisch da rein rutschen. Was kann ich noch machen??? Vielleicht in den Einstellungen irgendetwas? Ich weiß nicht mehr weiter. 😢😢😢
For some reason i cant make regular shallow pool of water. Its always obstructed. I can create shallow water in ugly hole. Anyone have ideas whats going on?
Hi Rudi, I am struggling to instal the free build mod, I followed the instructions but yet I can not find the mod in the game, as if it does not exist. I read something about geforce might be the issue? Any idea?
so i spent like an hour trying to get this to work n nothing helped so i thought maybe i did something to the terrain it didnt like, started a new sandbox sure enough it works
for me the small faux rocks suddenly aren't showing up. Anyone else having this problem? They're from the aquatic pack right? And the small ones from base game?
I think theres no way as a Step By step. But Maybe its only my point of view as a builder 🙂 But the Video is Good for Not so Talented players. Thx Rudi as always
maybe this just dosent work with tropical or sum cause it wont fill the puddle it just fills it a tiny bit i elevated terain next to it and it worked so i have no clue whats wrong with my game
i just tried this in my tropical zoo as well and couldn’t get it to work. i went over to a temperate zoo and it worked fine? so idk what’s different, but it just doesn’t work in tropical for some reason?
@@somerandomperson7223 It works on perfectly flat terrain (I first tried it on a new sandbox map that was perfectly flat). The flatten to terrace tool goes bananas on terrain that is the tiniest bit uneven, so this doesn't always work on a map that has already been terraformed, unless you have the space to flatten out the area.
Is he Planet Zoo’s Bob Ross?
Yes
Yes indeed
Little happy accidents. That makes my zoos sound way more happy now
certified yes cause I’m watching this video to help fall asleep 😭
Naaa, too many sad little trees that fell into the water! :D
My planet zoo doesn’t planet zoo like this

Keep going. There will be moments where it simply clicks and from there on it will become better and better !
@@RudiRennkamel I will do my best, dear sir, thank you!
Literally just chill and try to do one map sized environment
Thank you so much for this tutorial!! I think it will improve my work a lot especially with that "flatten to terrace" tool I haven't used like at all before this.
I didn't even know half of these tools existed. This is amazing, thanks so much!!
Rudi, thanks a lot. I've been playing for hours trying to create river beds. Such a good demonstration from you. Really appreciated.

Natural erosion of terrain would be a neat feature
I bought the game in the Steam sale a couple weeks ago. This was extremely helpful. So far my zoo still looks extremely primitive but this is giving me ideas.
Thank you 🙂 I really love tutorial videos like that, cause it helps to learn a lot !
Thank you so much for this video! Really helps me a lot with my zoo!
I think there was a new update or something because the Terrence tool isn’t working for me and my terrain was completely flat
Mine too any suggestions 😢
Rudi you are by far my favorite planet zoo RUclipsr
This was so helpful, keep giving us this great tutorials please. This gives us the inspiration we so need!
Thank you very much. :) Now I finally feel confident to make the moose habitat I always thought of! I appreciate it.

Thank you so much for this, I cannot wait to implement it into my own builds, genuinely inspiring! 👏👏
awesome video, love tutorials like this. maybe you could make a video on how to create realistic air conditioning systems hahahaha
awesome! Definately subscribing - do you have any videos about how to make a zoo layout? mine always looks so rigid and its what I struggle with most!
Dein english ist ja amazing, habe noch nie einen deutschen so gut english sprechen hören fr hört sich richtig natural an
Danke :)))
Mine does not work like that at all. Very frustrating.

More tutorials like this lad u are doing a great job
didn't watch the video jet but i know it is going to be nice again.
Thank you also cause this is going to be very helpfull.
where did you get the smaller faux rocks? i don't have them
You have they are just in the wrong order. Type faux and you'll find them
@@RudiRennkamel nope, I typed faux and also aquatic separately, I don't have the smaller ones. Are they from a separate pack from aquatic? I don't have all the packs 🤭
I’d like to find what he used. Pause it and read the hashtags. Once you do that copy it from what it said and there. Ex. # small # nongrid
Lieber Rudi, mach doch bitte einmal ein Tutorial wie man einen realistischen U-Bahn Ankuftsort baut. Da hänge ich schon länger. Wäre der Hammer.
Ahhhh, thank you so much, great tutorial, exactly what I needed! ☺️👍
The world need more tutorials like this !
Awesome stuff Rudi
does this only work with the size at 20 i cannot get it to work any smaller.
those rocks look sick, but I don't have the aquatic pack.. might buy it just for that xD
Very good tips, I'll definitely try some of these! Though I only have the base game, so no faux rocks for me x')
At 26:08 when I try to pull the terrain, it doesn't go over the rock 🤔 It create a little bump but next to the rock and there's a little gap between. I don't know if i'm explaining it right cause english is not my language !
thats thanks to freebuild mod
@@RudiRennkamel Oh so I can't without it ?
"Don't overdo it"
*proceeds to overdo it*
XD
Do you prefer the building tools in prehistoric kingdom or planet zoo?
Ouf. Hard to say. Planet Zoo feels more stable and at home. While PK feels fresher
Und ich war beeindruckt von meinem See, der am Ende aussah wie bei dir in Minute vier ^^..hmpf. Danke hoffe hast noch mehr so Videos O.O
great tutorial
Bit late to this party but subbed. Very nice work.
Helloo

Does this work on franchise mode because I'm doing what your doing and it's digging much deeper??
you can change the value of how strong its digging on the right in the settings menu
Thx, Rudi!
Did you use shift to go a bit higher up with the flatten to foundation?
Does water outside of habitat need to be in range of the Water Treatment Plant ?
Thaaank youuu
This was so helpful! I would definitely like to see more tutorials like this one.
Do this rocks are from DLC? or i can just use them without dlc?
sehr cool. ich finde dein englisch super zu verstehen

Lol, now I have to start a new zoo.
This doesn't work on the console version. 😢 Have been trying a lot, but it is still not looking as good as this. Still an High edge around the water.
Hiya. Unfortunately i am having a similar problem. Did manage to fix this by any chance?
Great tutorial, but i'll never use it. 😅 I just don't have the patience or attention span to spend hours on making a 'natural' river.
cooles Video! weiter so

Sometimes it works and most of the time it doesn't... Does anyone have a plan? I do it exactly the way he does..
Trust the process
This worked perfectly the first time I did it... but hasn't worked since. What am I doing wrong?!
