Sounds a little like the prototype of TerraNil I played. Granted, you do not really deal with specific animals, and is more so centered around cleaning up a toxic wasteland, planting plants, and creating multiple habitats while balancing the money you have. It plays like a very hard puzzle game even on the game's easy difficulty. There is a version of the game that is much more complex but that costs money, the prototype is free though and features rather charming pixelart in my opnion.
this gecko gets it!!! and their natural behaviour too, like pack of wolves hunting and then actually eating the kill and stuff like that, im sure guys at frontier are capable of such thing when their models go this hard
Yeah, and it would be so cool to see their animals behaving outside the restrictions of planet zoo's habitat and exhibit systems, like small lizards and snakes moving about freely, birds and fish populating the sky and water... Would be amazing to just observe really
Dude this is probably the best planet zoo project I've seen, hands down. The sheer scale of what you have built is amazing, it looks like an actual nature documentary. New subscriber earned for sure
It would be so awesome if PZ had real herd mechanics, the African plains would be sooo cool if the animals actually gathered together in a herd and ran around like that instead of just chaotically, but such an amazing work you put into this beautiful video. I really loved the European section a lot, amazing! 🎉
I loved every second of this! Really reminds us how beautiful nature truly is. Also shows how cool Planet Zoo really is, with how natural the animals behave.
All this was missing was David Attenborough narrating! You could seriously make a nature documentary using planet zoo! They have programed some great social interactions and behaviours and your work to make natural environments and scenic shots would make it easy. Was in awe over that wonderful slow pan down the waterfall at 1:30 and the sunset kangaroo dominance battle!
You were very accurate with my country of Australia. Around the 1800’s, settlers brought in camels to Australia and the hump jockeys have been wilding out in the outback ever since.
If you ever do another one of these, especially if Frontier introduce any more New Zealand native birds into the game, I'd love to see you tackle an environment like Tongariro National Park.
I just saw your other video on creating a Underwater Viewing Experience. These are incredible. Great taste, patience, cunning use of tools and diligence. Alot to learn from this, thanks mate. Cheers
i love the implementation of pripyat, people think its an area thats like a baren wasteland where nothing can live but in fact, its one of the best places in europe for animals to live in... as if someone would forget to tell them radiation is bad haha
This gives me an idea, may or may not be possible but in one zoo terraform out each continent scaled way down and build exhibits the shape of different biomes inside the continents with oceans in between, for example the North American section would probably be 8-9 sections built into realistic shapes of those biomes in reality
So well done. Thank you for all the work, the concept and the effort. I'm on the Xbox series X and I think I should buy this game, as it's so beautiful.
This is absolutly amazing and I loved every second of it! Really impressed what you did there. Great job and I hope we all can see even more of your builds in the future :)
One thing I would be say would be cool is if PZ had herding mechanics and if there was more then 1-(however many depending on the animal) per group in one big habitat it would make like a spectate make group and the best male(s) would be kept to that group of females or just female (best females would make up main herd/group and the rest would make a like girl group)
I've had the thought of doing this but I just didn't have the patience, props to you for being able to, especially with keeping up with all the DLC animals that came out over the years lol If you ever find the time to do another Planet Wild build, I'd love a Canadian one! Including the moose, beaver, some bears, maybe the reindeer/caribou, ect! :) Otherwise, I'm excited I found your channel and can check out your more 'normal' builds too now lol
Lovely work, I am really quite amazed by your building skills. The only thing I would say is missing is a Planet Wild featuring the animals of Southeast Asia. I would love to see a recreation of the jungles of Borneo or Sumatra, with the orangutans, gibbons, Malayan tapirs, sun bears, binturongs, etc. Fantastic job though, all of these were beautiful
This is really beautiful! You probably already know but there are a ton of really well-made species mods for Planet Zoo that add a lot of diversity to the game, although I totally understand if you don't use them on principle.
Thanks! I don't use mods although it's not really principle that stops me, I just enjoy the creativity of working with what the game gives you. And I like that I've never lost a zoo 😆
@@ZSHplays fair enough! I have no where near enough commitment to make a zoo for more than a week or so, I just use them for more diversity when I do stuff like making ecosystems like in the video
Such a fantastic achievement, with gorgeous cinematography! One thing this video also showcases is the difference of light in the different biomes. I'd really like to know: did you desaturate the video for Chernobyl, or is that actually the in-game lighting? Plus - I spot a future video I'm excited to see, the Lake District!
Yeh I colour grade each continent depending on the vibe I'm going for. Chernobyl was desaturated, good spot. There won't be a Lake District episode I'm afraid, Swans, Squirells & Sheep are all that live there 😆
These are so incredibly accurate and amazing! Also, if there was an animal to be added to planet zoo, which one would you like added? Mines probably coyote or a sable pine marten lol
D-O-P-E I am obsessed with your work. I'm always waiting the whole week for your new video. Loved this one.💪💪 (even though I like SBZ or other video's more)
Frontier should just make maps like this for all continents so we can view animals in the wild. How many animals are visible could be dependent on how many animals you released.
Howdy, ZSH. Great idea for a video. The South America part was my favorite. If you don't mind, could I possibly use some clips from this in a video I plan on making? (I'll credit you, of course)
Thanks DQ! Glad you enjoyed it! I'd rather you didn't use it in your own video to be honest, nothing personal but it took 2 years to put it together! You can download pretty much all the maps on the workshop though, why not film your own? That would be more fun anyway! 😁
Totally understand. I am almost done with my project anyway, but I then saw this and was fascinated. But actually, if those maps are in the workshop, then yeah, I'll definitely check them out. Thanks
My 1# goal is to get a pc that is strong enough to play planet zoo, for now I'm stuck building them in minecraft also, Spectacular video! Your dedication and building skills are amazing:)
i need some tips on this game. One thing i REALLY don’t understand is where to place the buildings for staff. my guests are always unhappy with them or the staff can’t reach them
Hi ZHS, new to your channel but what I seen before is very good and that is why I have a big favor to ask. Nobody has ever done a video that could help thousands of players with the same problem. The problem is, yes, you show how to do it, but you are skilful, patient, and maybe you have a bit more time. me, and probably many other players, would love to use already uploaded amazing content. However, when I try to use this in my zoo, it never works. Mostly because the pathing is horrible and mostly due to restrictions. I play franchise only. I have every DLC, unlocked every single item, and researched all of them. Yet, I am still unable to use most of the items I downloaded from the workshop. If I'm lucky, and it's actually possible to do it, then I can't place them where I want, and it's impossible to place paths and barriers accurately. What I would love you to do is to start a zoo and, using your stuff from the workshop or maybe others, create a zoo from many different blueprints. Show us how we can import them, how we can connect everything blend them nicely, what the restrictions are, and how to overcome those restrictions. Show how to edit existing blueprints, maintain the same style of the zoo, and what to avoid. Like I mentioned before, there are many tutorials on how to place a blueprint, maybe even one or two showing how to try to path them, but no one is showing how to combine this altogether. Some say use your imagination, be creative, but not everyone is good at this. I want to enjoy the game. I can't enjoy it with my level of creativity the way I would like to play. Here is what I have in mind: start a new zoo with 40,000, like every zoo, then with just some cheap habitat and only essential stuff buildings, build up some reputation and cash, and then replace them with amazing creations. Make everything exactly like the authors of the blueprints wanted and combine them together. I hope you can respond to it, and maybe even agree to it, as that would allow me to play the game like I always wanted. I even got mods from Nexus that allow free placements, but it still is not working for me. Do you use mods? Maybe you could show us how to use them properly. Thanks :)
Thanks. I would not be good at making that video as I never use habitat blueprints! Apart from an aircon here, a bit of netting there I don't use blueprints. Sorry!
"Planet Wild" would be a great concept for an upcoming Planet game I think, where you create wildlife reserves or something
I would LOVE that!
Sounds a little like the prototype of TerraNil I played.

Yeah I agree, and thanks!
They should be able to do it. They have the pack feature aswell so they could expand on that I think?
I was thinking the the same thing!
@@Silkencira1710 I saw your reply on my comment and have to say your dog is cute! I also have a Silken Windhound 😂
I agree! That was my very first thought seeing Africa. Zoo Tycoon 2 had herd dynamics so I'm sure PZ can too!
I loved every second of this! Really reminds us how beautiful nature truly is. Also shows how cool Planet Zoo really is, with how natural the animals behave.
Thanks!

Im leave near the Leopard land. It's actually looks pretty similar, but there's much more hills. Still looks beautiful, just like home❤️
Awesome! Thanks!
Every now and then I forgot im watching a Planet zoo Video. It felt like some "Blue Planet" episodes! This is an amazing work!
Thanks!
Why am I crying?? This is so beautifully done ❤️
Hah! Thanks Sparrow 😁
This is such an amazing series, it's truly wonderful and inspiring in so many ways!
Thank you!
So well done. Thank you for all the work, the concept and the effort.
I'm on the Xbox series X and I think I should buy this game, as it's so beautiful.
Thanks!
this is so beautifully made, well done!
Thank you!
For one of the next episodes, can you please recreate the Congo rainforest, the Everglades, or Patagonia? I think they would be really cool to see.
I've put them on the list, thanks!
This is absolutly amazing and I loved every second of it! Really impressed what you did there. Great job and I hope we all can see even more of your builds in the future :)

I want a stampede behavior for blue wildebeest
I loved this video! All the detail was amazing. My favorite was the underwater forest! Absolutely amazing job!
Thank you so much!
This is amazing ! You even added invasive species !!
Hah yup! Thanks!
Okay! I've started watcing these after catching up on San Bernadino Zoo. I am not disappointed :)
Awesome!
Sad there was no San Bernadino episode this week but I really loved and truly felt touched when watching this video! Great job!!
Aw thank you! SBZ will be back next week, I'm working on it now.
This looks like Planet Earth and I love it!! 😻
Thanks!
This is so cool! I've just started playing PZ & seeing this amazing creation makes me want to play & practise my building skill.
Go for it!
This is so beautiful, really well done
Thanks!
I've had the thought of doing this but I just didn't have the patience, props to you for being able to, especially with keeping up with all the DLC animals that came out over the years lol

It's on the list! Just don't have time to build much in this series now
You should make documentary about planet zoo that's gonna be really appreciated❤
How do you mean?
This is absolutely incredible and so cool
Thanks!
Absoltely beautiful😮
Thanks!
Best Planet Wild video ever. I like the tiger in the Bandhavgarh National Reserve. Much better than, "Planet Zoo Animals in their Natural Habitat."
Thank you! Yeh I had a lot more footage and more time for this one, really pleased with it!
I love this! It’s amazing how all these look so natural. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! Will do!
Amazing loved this video and hopefully we will see more planet wild
Thanks! It was fun going back to it!
Phenomenal! I love this!
Thanks!
Fantastic job, proof that Planet Zoo can be more than just a zoo simulator. Best zoo game ever! Even more than ZT.
Thanks!
This is truly beautiful! Is there a series where you build this? I just revisited this channel
Thanks! There is indeed, it's called Planet Wild, there's a playlist on the channel
This is incredible! You're really showing how limitless your imagination is :)
Thank you so much!
This is so beautifully done! All the detail is incredible
Thank you so much!
Funny fun fact about Norway: Norway is the country farthest north and we also own a small portion of Antarctica.
Yes indeed, I’m looking forward to seeing it
For north America you should of done a "Florida Everglades" one with the alligator. That would've been so cool !
It would! Reason I didn't is I already built one for my Wetlands Florida zoo! Search for the Alligator Swamp episode if you haven't seen it.
@@ZSHplays oh makes sense I'll sure check out your swamp video as I'm trying to recreate a Florida Everglades themed zoo enclosure in America 👍
This is really beautiful! You probably already know but there are a ton of really well-made species mods for Planet Zoo that add a lot of diversity to the game, although I totally understand if you don't use them on principle.

Thanks!

I'd really like to know: did you desaturate the video for Chernobyl, or is that actually the in-game lighting? Plus - I spot a future video I'm excited to see, the Lake District!

@@ZSHplays Makes sense, colour grading is part of cinematography! Maybe a Short on the Lake District? A mini tour? Not demanding, just suggesting 😄
Confession time, that lake with the swans is actually part of the American forest map, I just added some British trees in the background 😆
This is incredible!
Thank you!
wow how wonderfull!! I really enjoyed watching it... was almost to short... Wow wow wow!!
Thank you so much! If it was too short there's a whole series of it on the channel if you've not seen it?
@@ZSHplays yes, seen almost all... Love your building style! Keep on going like this!! :D
AMAZING! Great footage and edited like a Wildlife Documentary
Glad you think so!
Absolutely beautiful.
Thanks!
Have been waiting all day for this video to drop
Enjoy!
Bloody amazing!!!!!! ❤❤❤ i felt like i was watching a documentary!
Aw thank you!
Hey Zshplays I was wondering if you could do the Okavango Delta, if you have Time tho like I don't mean like right now
Haha thanks for the suggestion, it's actually on the list already but time is not my friend!
These are so incredibly accurate and amazing!
Also, if there was an animal to be added to planet zoo, which one would you like added?
Mines probably coyote or a sable pine marten lol
Thanks! A Pine Marten would be great actually! I want tamarins/marmosets myself
@@ZSHplays ofc! And that’s awesome both those would be great additions to the game :)
Absolutely stunning. Happy I clicked on this video 😭🥰
Thank you!
I want more!! Loved this
Thanks!
This is insane keep working brother.
Thanks! Will do!
Gorgeous
Thanks!
Wow! That was a great! Maybe you can blueprint them and make a zoo out of them!❤❤❤
Thanks! Most of the environment are on the workshop already, just search for my name

FINALLY THERE IS WILDEBEEST “I have CHORTLES!!”😊
They were the first new animal I added 😆
Can you do a planet wild on the great migration or anything else with wildebeest
This game is coming to console this month or next month when I get it I’m going to things like this thank you for this vid it inspired me
Have fun!
@@ZSHplays thxs
The continents are all soo realistic my favourite is the Africa continent mainly cause off the rhinos 😂
Thanks! We've seen quite a few Rhino recently 😁
Thx for adding capys to the rainforest!
No problem!
bro this is one of the best things i've seen in planet zoo, it would be cool if i knew how to make an actual ecosystem
Thanks!
That Bandhavgarh tiger reserve was beautiful I’m from India and it’s fantastic
Thanks!
This is beautiful 😍✨
Thanks!
wow this is simply amazing
Thanks!
I aspire to do what you do. One day I’ll figure it out for franchise mode. It’s so incredible.
Thanks!
this looks better than irl
Hah thanks!

Thanks! Good luck!
What is the song that plays under the showcase of Africa called?
Maputo Marshland
AMAZING!!! My fave is chernobyl.
Thanks!
i need some tips on this game. One thing i REALLY don’t understand is where to place the buildings for staff. my guests are always unhappy with them or the staff can’t reach them
Check out my Top 10 Tips for Franchise Mode video, there's a lot in there including a section on staff buildings
Woah Great Job!
Thank you!
i got so excitef at the south america part
and europe and north america
Awesome! South America & the Lion Hunt are my favourite parts.
@@ZSHplays being venezuelan i really enjoyed that part. the flooded forest was so cool
It’s gorgeous…
Thank you!
really cool
Thanks!
Alright next is planet universe
Hah, I'm not sure I have time for a whole universe 😁
Another reason i love this channle
Thanks!
I think with this concept u just showed everyone that site B mode is indeed possible on planet zoo besides Jwe2 and Prehistoric kingdom
Indeed!
How did you make that giant log walkable/climable for the tiger?
It's a climbable item, don't need to do anything special with it
@@ZSHplays oh I missed that one then! Thanks!
Wow, That’s cool
Thanks!
I wish I had the last 2 dlc to save my edits on hunters of the Kalahari
Aw shame
@@ZSHplays thank you for the empathy
How did you build this?! because I would love to add you on discord and talk about this!😁
Check out my Planet Wild series, I show you how I did it all there. You can also join my discord!
Thanks for the help!@@ZSHplays
That is very ambitious. After 40 species, I think my computer is giving up 😅
Thanks! Most of these maps only have a handful of species on them
can you build the ardennes belgium in planet wild
I'll add it to the list!
@@ZSHplays thx
Can you do the great wildebeest migration in serengeti national park in Tanzania
I'll add it to the list, thanks!
YESSSSSSSSS
@@ZSHplaysLETS GO
Will we be getting San Bernardino Zoo back next week?
You will indeed, been working on it today!
the india part made me hungry for biriyani
how can i get into your zoo
Most of the environments you see here are on the steam workshop, just search for me and you'll see them
Amazingg. I’m sad that there weren’t painted dogs
Thanks!
Poor Pumba!
Hah sorry!
zsh could you help me the textures in planet zoo keep going blurry do you know how to get rid of it?
I believe that is caused by a lack of VRAM but I could be wrong. Either that or too many modded species.
it cant be the 2nd one because i dont use mods @@ZSHplays
