Great video! I generally make it a habit to make the borders a little larger than the requirements, as rocks, foliage, moats, building pieces etc will interfere with their traversable area.
Such a handy video! Definitely something I need to try out when I'm planning my next zoo! I hope we can expect to see more handy tips and tricks in the future :D
This can be useful, but is there anyways to make the grids to make a layout zoo map? For example of this zone... Central Zone, the center of the zoo, where few habitats that surrounds the large elephant habitat, including the Antilope Walkabout Valley.

I was not aware this was gonna have math involved haha, I have dyscalculia, so this made no sense to me, I tend to guess and then make it bigger or smaller if needed, I tend to be sure the habitat is larger than what required, as when u add water and hills, plus their enrichment and foliage, it makes the land area traversable smaller, but my habitats end up being bigger anyway haha,

For sure a good practice to get into!
Thanks, this was really useful!
Such a handy video! Definitely something I need to try out when I'm planning my next zoo!

I have every intention, but only so much time 😅
But Sparrow, I don't like maths! 😅
Reasons why this episode was NOT titled "The Math of Planet Zoo" hahaha
Yeah
Thanks for the shoutout! I feel even worse about forgetting yours now 😆 ❤
No worries, maybe next time 😂 Glad you enjoyed!
@@sparrow838_ I like the new channel name animation in this vid as well
Great vid and very good info! i’m terrible at sizing enclosures it’s either borderline or way too big/small for the animals 😂
This helped me so much
I'm glad you found it helpful!

So what do you think?
This looks like an AI generated layout... And I'm not sure the PZ map has enough room to fit this. But maybe I will take this on in a future episode!
useful video!
Thx for the tip!
Yeah
I was not aware this was gonna have math involved haha, I have dyscalculia, so this made no sense to me, I tend to guess and then make it bigger or smaller if needed, I tend to be sure the habitat is larger than what required, as when u add water and hills, plus their enrichment and foliage, it makes the land area traversable smaller, but my habitats end up being bigger anyway haha,
Trial and error is certainly another way to do it!
Yes. BUTT 😂
math 🤮
😅
