- Planet Zoo allows us to build a global franchise, and that's exactly what we're going to do in this Franchise Mode let's play. Starting in the Great White North, slowly spreading across the world, The Elite Zoo Company will be a household name by the end of this playthrough. Either that or we'll have gone bankrupt, or be eaten alive by animals that have broken free - let's find out!

Finally kickin' this baby off! Still getting to grips with some things (like filtering the animal trades and laying down paths goddamn) but feeling pretty good about my plans here. As always, let me know your thoughts - enjoy!
The time-lapses are nice, as it allows us to watch what you do without it becoming overly time consuming and boring as it drags on and on and on. Great vid, and keep the fantastic work! Two thumbs up from this happy Swede! and Wolfs! Who doesn't love wolfs? Wolfs are great!
Yessss +1 for team wolf!!
Love what are you doing with exhibits, really nice and unique, the logs on the building look nice but you got the right idea, it hurts that they all hey same size and texture, when nature becomes repetitive and too symmetrical it kinda looks unnatural. So try to break it up by rotating and displacing logs. When it comes to layout try to make C curves and S curves in some places, make edges not a straight line, instead of cutting paths straight across, cut diagonally, make path go at different angles to avoid parallels. Unless, you like grid like layouts which many people prefer but it becomes boring imo. Pacing of the episode is fine, time lapses are absolutely necessary here. Great start with wolves, cant wait to see pups running around in all their cuteness. Thanks for kicking off this awesome LP, keep em coming.
PartyElite Please do this more
I think your main issue was, that you chose a path width of 7 units on a gap of 4 units.
Oh its disgusting to charge a fee for the atm i hate this
Proceeds to write atm fee
I'm charging the fee to save the animals
Never have a fee for atm, same as planet coaster. If your guests are low on money and need atm they won’t be able to afford it and will just leave the park.
Save the non fee atms there population are declining
I always charge for the bathrooms too! I would hate visiting my zoos IRL.
And then I find out you can charge 50$ to use the toilet
You've probably noticed by now, but for anyone who hasn't yet:
• You get all your money back if you use the return button (CTRL + Z).
• If you put down facilities/construction items first, you can select their group/grid when building a path.
• If you press H, in one of the tabs you can see the range of negative buildings.
• In the beginning of the game, you can lower some staff wages from 1100 to 1050 without them disliking it.
• You can adjust the range of speakers/heaters/coolers.
• Heaters/Coolers need time to adjust the temperature. So the snow will appear after a little while, and will show a rock layer when melted.
• You indeed have to spam click often in Animal/Exhibit trading. You don't have to be afraid of accidentally buying an animal by click spamming.
Have fun with the game, everyone 😊
TigerSoul6 Tysm! I’m net to the game and this has really helped.
literally have never had an issue with buying animals. didnt know that was an issue.. but my frame rate.. thats an issue lmao
TigerSoul6
Hello that’s a goodmpoiny
Probably a stupid question. How do you rotate stuff?
@@evamoustaka5407 you press z
Guests dont mind "seeing" facilities. If you go into the sensor map and click on guest negative impacts, every facility has a red radius, if that radius overlaps on a guest path then they wont like it. "Hiding" the facilities does nothing.
Jessica Chance you can add certain items like fences or walls to hide and yes it does work. I just don’t think using rocks and trees work tho, walls work.
Thank you for this I didn’t know this
At that's sad
Seems like a system designed to aggravate people who like symmetry,
Agreed. I've given up on symmetry now and just going wild with curves. Its come out surprisingly better looking than symmetry
the ego likes symmetry, nature is inperfect and unsymmetrical
Honestly I personally think for a zoo symmetry doesn't look as good.. at least how I imagine a zoo ^^
@Tood Taylor …… seems like a system designed closer to how real life zoo and parks are built. The symmetry folks are into fake
@@steve00alt70 not true at all. Symmetry is everywhere in nature. Bee hive combs are build out of perfect hexagons. The rings inside of trees are perfect circles. The veins in some leaves are perfectly symmetrical. Butterfly and bird wings are symmetrical and the same on each side.
Am i the only one here from 2024
👀
🙋♀️
Here bc I just bought this game and know nothing lol
I’m from 2024
2024
I plan my PhD thesis to be on "planet zoo path system".
Good luck defending it!
I finally found the perfect person for playing Planet Zoo! I'm quite irked when streamers/gamers are not organized when building or maintaining their zoo, like having a dot of paint sand in the middle, or very odd shapes of the animals shelter. I LOVE it how you are very particular with paths and at least try to make the shelter looks nice~ Also a bonus that you are uploading an HOUR long with edit! _Thank You_ for playing this game, since I can't play it. It's also a nice video to just chill and relax 😊 I also wish you make this into a series, if possible~
Thanks! Glad you like the neurotic organization haha. Definitely going to do a full series with this game for as long as people are interested in watching!
Look at James Turner, a.k.a The Sim Supply. He does the same thing, he's also a great builder on The Sims 4. Not saying that this guy isn't good but, just suggesting.
Rachael Edmonds I adore James so very much.. but can we take a moment to remember his first crocodile exhibit? 😂
I feel the same way! And it's very well done here. If you wantore TH-camrs who do it as well: bestinslots is like that too :)
I seriously agree, idk this is relaxing for me in some way. I am watching James Turner too but the way he is making his zoo just isn't for me.
you should make a place where the animals dont have to be watched they like a little privacy sometimes like for shaggin
I love your example as to why they like privacy... 🤣
@@DecapitatedGumiBearz hey being an animal myself I'd at least like some one way glass xD
@@jakes8409 me too! 🤣
The last part of this comment finished me off 😂
@Traci N :Finished you off eh?😏
Wild guess: maybe without cooling the snow melts as soon as it's placed so only bare rock is left?
That would be correct.
Ah I knew the cooler needed power for snow but it didn't occur to me that without snow it would register as "rock". Good call!
I like that idea
meh, sounds far fetched
@@marcopohl4875 Snow needs really cold temperatures to happen so no it's not really.
Fun fact:
According to some observers, wolves in cold regions have developed a habit of making "cold storages" of their prey to return to in case of food shortage, supposedly copying behaviour of nomadic tribes.
Man.... That's awesome. I love our history with canidae (and dogs and wolves specifically)
TIL that wolves are smarter than most college when it comes to food prep
If you think that fun fact is cool, you might love the rest of the story!
You'll find quite a few similarities between wolves and people because early human civilizations (moving out of Africa) modeled themselves after wolves to better help themselves survive. Wolves are very social animals and their ability to communicate, hunt, defend their territories and raise young was something that didn't go unnoticed by our ancestors. We used many of their techniques to better our own survival. What I'm trying to say here, is that humans modeled themselves after wolf behavior, rather than wolves having seemingly human characteristics. It might sound crazy to believe at first glance, but it's important to understand that our positive relationship with wolves was tucked aside during Medieval times when the hatred of wolves began because of the belief in werewolves and magic. The same animal that helped us survive, became a symbol of evil and violence. Myths and common media portrayal (movies, songs, games, books, etc) still link in with that darker perspective of wolves, which we know now with modern science, is purely fiction.
I'm here because I saw the word wolf. (my favorite animal is the wolf)
@@CaptainWolfStudios thats really cool
man, you made me fall in love with this game!
Hey bro why did you stop posting
Egg life probably
MAKE A PLANET ZOO VIDEO OR I COME TO YOU HOUSE AND TAKE YOU SOUL WHILE YOU SLEEPING IN 3 AM
@@egg4637 I’m a year late but if you didn’t know, Teras posts again, just checked.
I was just sitting there screaming at my screen all like ´´Does it look like there is snow on the ground to you??´´. Apart from that very relaxing video
😍
"I dont see the rock"
i know... that bothered me as well... like!!! it’s all rock!!!
R because he thought snow could replace the rock but no, he needed to put grass or dirt to remove the rock lmao
And also "Soooil, put more soooooil"
I'm so glad I'm not the only one that fights with the paths so much lol
Me to
I usually play Planet Zoo when I am suffering from depression. The game is so soft, so lovely, so cute. It just makes my heart melt and me happy. At least, for a moment
At beginning of game I do family tickets $1 less than adult, later in game I do $5 less. And they always think price is fair or good. Half price for kids you lose so much money.
you didn’t have to extend the plaza path, the path size was too large to fit through the gap
I really love it when a youtuber shows the full process whether it is in a form of time laps or just raw and your the first one who I see who does this so thanks😁😁
This will be a big reason why i watch you and not someone else and I love your voice😂😁
Thanks! Glad you're enjoying =)
Jarno van Rhenen .
Your a good youtuber
Wow, that wolf den was pretty creative, I would have never thought of making that underground exhibit to see them because I'd think the game couldn't do that, but looks like you can do alot!
Here's a good tip to make your lets play more fun/easier to do: You should just play how you want when creating your exhibits, all while recording, and then after do a time-lapse commentary so you can make it as long or as short as you want! And you can still do live comments as well
Anyway, if you read this thanks for the entertainment :)
my name is in there jackson the wolf
I really wanna play this game but since I'm broke ill just watch you :)
same
btw I'm playing the game now guys 😁
I wouldn't mind having some music in the time lapses every now and then. No need to constantly talk :)
Good to know! Thanks!
@@PartyElite I'm here for those dulcet tones!
I prefer the talking. Music always interrupts the videos and not in a good way
PartyElite definitely prefer the talking. I click off of videos that don’t do voice overs. 🤷🏻♀️ but this is literally the perfect example of it being impossible to please everyone though, so just make sure to do what you prefer and find comfortable. Thoroughly enjoyed this video.. was my first of yours.
I mind. It's nice when he explains what he's doing.
This is a great series so far! I love it when people actually *try* to make a good-looking zoo in these tycoon games instead of just letting wild animals loose on the populace. So much more rewarding to watch real effort pay off.
I love the Timber Wolf enclosure! Reminds me of the zoo I went to as a kid that had a similar exhibit regarding the cave and glass. You have a very good eye for aesthetics and detail, and I really appreciate that.
The fast-forward with monologue was done very well and in just the right places, and I think that was the right move over hemming and hawing live for thirty minutes. Overuse could cause some confusion, but I think you chose well when to put it in.
Definitely going to watch the rest of what you've uploaded of this series, and subscribing to see more of it. I hope all of the finicky features get patched or figured out, and that you have a good time playing the game :)
Well well… I watched this about 3 years ago and I actually find this very nostalgic. Almost makes me cry watching this again.
Really like this time-laps method with an explanation over it, could be very nice for Workers & Resources for when roads and rails and stuff are giving you a hard time.
I love this! This is the first video I'm seeing of yours and now I think I'm hooked. Thanks for putting out such long episodes -- especially long _edited_ episodes! I love listening to things like this while I work or play games.
It's way to late now, but I learned today in @geekism live stream that all staff buildings in game have an AOE ring of negativity. No amount of decor, hiding, walls or other beautifully crafted buildings, fences or theming can undo the negativity.
The Planet Coaster path system can be a jerk! Geekism has a decent tutorial, but sometimes you just gotta undo or bulldose to make it go where you want. Also always check the right hand side menu options as often some kind of tunneling or auto snapping or sizing is causing your pain.
If I were a Timber Wolf I would like to live in Elite Zoo everyday at Elite Zoo is a Party.
I was searching for a good lets play of this , game and I think i am at the right place. for me, a good voice really is important, and you really have one, it is nice to listen to and full of energy. I also like your almost a bit OCD playstyle, I like symmetry and nice details as well. Keep up the good work!
Keralis is also a good player, he has a relaxing voice and amazing building and landscaping, but he does get a little less done in each episode. Do check him out though :)
During sped up sections you can play music. Biffa with his city skylines videos is a good example of doing that right. Also, organizing by geographic regions would be cool. I hope they fix some of those weird clicking issues because that made me decide on waiting to get the game. Here's hoping we get an aquarium dlc.
Ah like no talking at all? That's a good idea!
@@PartyElite maybe a mix of both? I personally prefer the voice over
I definitely prefer the voice over as well. It's just more interesting imo!
@@PartyElite check out some Planet Zoo speedbuilds by Geekism or DeLadySigner, they do it pretty well
I really like how you talk through your time lapses it helps us understand what you’re doing!
the fact that i watch this series each time i get back into planet zoo again, its give me so much inspiration and i have finally built a zoo im proud of, thank you partyelite.
Coming back and rewatching the first episode of Planet Zoo is very surreal. It's amazing to see how far we've come and how much we've learned along the way.
Been missing the elite zoos so re-watching the series that brought me to your awesome channel
First time to your channel, loving the first episode, will definitely be sticking around, and can I just say your forward thinking and planning it all out before you've even started building is just so fucking satisfying, you are legit my spirit animal rn, LOVE :)
Haha glad to hear it! =D
This is actually really relaxing lmao
I love watching it form into shape as well
I finally found someone who does this for real instead of just messing around
It’s also rlly organised
I appreciate that you are strategically planning out this series and taking your time with it - makes for a very pleasant and relaxing experience when watching. Much nicer than watching a play through of somebody rushing and being sloppy because they just want to crank out as much ‘exciting’ content as possible.
Love it. Was looking for a time consuming Planet Zoo series.
I've not got the patience for all the tool editing and flapping about, it's what put me off playing Planet Coaster so much, bought it and only played 2hrs before loosing the will to live!
They are very eye pleasing games though. :)
Agreed. Would love to play this game, if they had good pathing systems like e.g. City Skylines. they really need to fix it
Same here. Planet Coaster was more fiddling than actual playing. I purchased this hoping it would be more fun but its the same nightmare again. Such a great idea for a game though!
Sir Snowy --- Losing, not "loosing". You wear tight or loose clothing. You win or lose a game.
@@Liofa73 sorry oh migthty spellings pollice, no erorrs aloud! Got it! ;)
loving this series!! you are so inspiring! I don’t have the creative mindset to think outside of the box with the terrain tools and all that so it’s nice to get some inspiration from you! can’t wait to see more and where you take this series!
Love that you let us follow from the start, when you first discover the game❣️
seeing you struggle with the paths was getting a bit tedious, so I recommend you cut those bits out. otherwise, I love the video and your commentary!
It shows the bad parts of the game, so people can better decide if they want to buy the game or not.
Perhaps I'm weird but I actually thought it was kinda entertaining
There’s also this cool thing where you can scroll past parts that may not interest you
He literally told us to give constructive criticism x
@@Mspuffs1996 He talks the whole time, What if I miss something important during the boring bit?
I love this game and was looking for someone playing it and I just stumbled upon your video. Barely two minutes in and I really appreciate how you don't ask your viewers to "hit the like button now immediately!".
So obviously I hit the like button right then, immediately, and subscribed.
YESSS! I am OBSESSED with this game! So glad I found your channel!!
Thank you so much! I started playing a couple days ago. You really help me starting. But I love this video so much. Can’t wait to get home from work and start my own zoo.
Where my people from Canada at? 🇨🇦
Yeee
I bought this a few weeks ago and started on career mode. Loving what I'm watching at the minute. Tons of ideas. Looking forward to being able to make my own zoos :)
I don't yet know if you noticed this later on, but the temperature range for wolves is not -8 to -29, it's -8 to +29.. No need to keep them subzero unless you want.
Amazing stuff, Will be sticking to this series!
You know what? The fact that you are so hardheaded about details but it leads to such perfect results actually made this enjoyable.
Because i kept rooting for it to work lmao i was like work you darn path!!!!
So new sub just from your funny rants to yourself xD 💕
i feel like it’s necessary to explain what you’re doing during the timelapses
You’re so engaging! I usually get full of longer LPs, but I could listen to you speak all day
oh my god I just found your channel while looking for a good Planet Zoo Let's Play cause while I really enjoy playing this game, I enjoy watching others play it just as much.
And then I am seeing that you've got almost 200 episodes with soooo many hours of gameplay, oh my, thank you so much for that! This will be my daily program for the next time!
Welp it’s time for a binge watch! I can’t wait to see where this goes! also really excited to watch your other let’s plays!
Same
Honestly, i admire your patience with that paths. God, i would lose my shit, but you did great and somehow your positivity about it were calming down my frustration a lot. You are amazing man
Haha thanks. Those paths certainly make me grit my teeth
Great vid and can’t wait to watch the rest of the series🤩❤️
Thank you for this start. I know now I'm going to have a ton of problems starting this game. But you're showing me the basics.
When you realize these videos are an hour long and it’s 1 o’clock in the morning but he’s perfect for planet zoo so you don’t care
Well done tovarisch Elite! As always, a kindred spirit in pixel-perfect-precision-bordering-OCD in construction/layout. Always like your content.
Thanks! Glad to hear it =)!
i loved this video so much!! it was relaxing and fun and i loved hearing you talk about everything while still having some time lapse breaks
Awesome, very happy to hear that =)
I'm half watching half listening while I make supper and wanted to mention two things.
1. So glad to find a Canadian playing planet zoo.
2. You say "what not" a lot. It makes me giggle every time because of an episode of Disjointed.
This made me miss Canada more than I expected going into a gameplay video lmao
Oh how far this man has come in just over a year
I Actually Appreciate The Perfectionism! Loved The Episode!
And here I am again, watching this series all over again (first seen it a bit more than a year ago :D)
Your work zone needs to be fixed to include everything! That might be part of the reason the spiders aren’t doing great.
Absolutely love how you’re doing this planet zoo let’s play. I’ve watched others & they aren’t as detailed.
Great catch there, I think you're right!
And glad to hear you're enjoying the show =)
Great video, subscribed! Can’t wait to go into hibernation and binge this series 🤠.
If you can, consider making a zoo in New Zealand? Representing us Kiwis
I can not tell you how MUCH I LOVE your PZ series! I have spent at least 3 hours or so- watching like 6 videos of your PZ series. Keep going with the amazing content!! It feels amazing to watch someone that plays pz and who knows how to organize the layout. So glad!!
I just found your channel through a Humankind video and I'm already in love with this series. Gonna try to catch up with it as soon as I'm able, one episode at a time.
When I play some games where I need to build something like path, or building I like it to be symmetrical too but this guy is something else, you really need to relax man. I'm being so stressed when I watched this video. He is like so anxious. Your designing skill, and how you decide things is good but the way you delivering it to us is just so stressful to follow.
As a Canadian I feel like my representation had bene fulfilled
I hath stumbled upon you sir and can I just say, my gosh, finally! Actually information on your thoughts instead of just time-lapses. Plus that voice 😩💓
You may not have done landscaping before but you got to experience the pain of completing an area only to have a builder come back and tell you they forgot to put in a transformer and dig the whole bloody area up!
Why does this have so little views! I find this so relaxing watching you play. Comparing you to other (more popular) TH-camrs, you are much more organized and nicer to watch. I love seeing you play this, keep going 💜
I feel like the glass in the tunnel should become one way glass
*edit*
Just got to the part where he points it out
Thank you for posting a Planet Zoo video that's actually enjoyable to watch!
Remember watching this series when I was in highschool, recently got the urge to find it again and was so happy when I did. The nostalgia hits different
Love it! I didn't finish de video yet, but i think part of your path problems is because the angle snap is at 30°, so in 180° there are 6 possibilities, and in 90° there are 3, if i understand it correctly a 45° angle snap would work better (tho i still think it wont solve all your problems). Or I hope so at least!
I was really waiting till you started to play this game!
I love the timelapses! As a person with a very short attentionspan, this makes it really fun to watch!
I was missing your PZ let’s play and decided to revisit the beginning and I am NOT disappointed! Crazy how far you’ve come.
The initial path struggles 😭😂
Hahaha well fear not - we'll be back on track this week (outside of today) =)
PartyElite YAY that’s great news! I’m enjoying this blast to the past though, especially thinking about starting Elite Zoo South in such a short time. Just wrapped up re-watching Episode 2 😅
Watching this 3 years later shocks me- I dont remember this game being THIS buggy 😂😂
At the start I'd love to see these time lapses with explanations. The miniscule editing is a big part of the game, and I am interested in it, but one hour wall work would be too much :P
Maybe later these things should be edited out, and we certaimly font meed to see you designing each identical bathroom down the line, but new buildings and features should be timelapsed atleast once imo. I find it interesting :)
Yes please make this series, i want someone entertaining and educated to do this!
wow, I've been playing planet zoo for like 40 hours the past 2-3 days (in 2022) and I can clearly see some quality of life fixes. Nice to see it's improved(?) over the years. Been really enjoying it so far, want to make a bunch of sick zoos around the world in franchise. Looks like ill be able to pick up some design tips from you. Liking the series so far, looking forward to watching 224 more videos X'D
29:16 I haven't actually played this game so I can't make assumptions about how the game works, so I could be misinterpreting what they have shown. But I would like to point out some of the wolf information is inaccurate. Part of the issue is that wolves are incredibly socially complex and wild behavior doesn't exactly mimic how they behave in captivity.
One of the biggest things to note is that female wolves who are unaltered in captivity tend to have issues with other female wolves in a shared enclosure. Once female wolves start to reach between a year old and sexual maturity, aggression/tension towards other females is likely to develop. There are some exceptions, but since that is less common, the game should account for the most common behavior displayed in captive wolves. Adult females, even blood related (mother to daughter, sister to sister) should show tension/aggression towards one another in game play once they reach adulthood, which can be avoided if female offspring are sold/removed from the pack. Female to female aggression isn't much of an issue in the wild, but it does happen in captivity.
Another issue that I am assuming is not in game play based on this menu, is that unrelated male wolves CAN be introduced to one another in captivity, IFFFF a female wolf is not present in the pack. This is very observable in zoos and people who have high content wolfdogs. If you throw a female into the mix, competition to be her mate can lead to tension/fighting.
Lastly, wolves are very shy. The menu says their relation with humans is "confident." This is usually not the case. Wolves are so shy that zoos will often give wolves much more privacy than some of the other animals. That is why SOME zoos (not all of course) make privacy windows the only accessible place to view wolves (The ones where you can see out, but the wolf cant see in).
I dont think anyone gives a shit bruh.
Zachary from Andromeda still informative
I learned something new today
@@zacharyfelder6604 I think you right LOL
Zachary from Andromeda 💀💀
According to some other vids I've watched, you need to flatten out the terrain in order to lay the paths the way you're wanting.
Coming back to rewatch all of the first zoo after we started elite zoo south. Forgot how good it was!
Thanks man ur inspiring so many builds with your lets play :)
I dunno if he already changed this because I’m only halfway through but the temperature said that the wolves like -8 till 29 degrees Celsius not -8 till -29
Party Elite VS Frontier pathing systems. Who will win?
Pathfinder system will short term. Longterm party lol
Wow I love the build! Time lapse was amazing.
I started watching this months ago, but I decided today to just rewatch because I absolutely love your content
Let's Elite the hell out of that Zoo! I personally love the approach you are taking with this game, with the whole over-the-top Elite Zoos brand image and stuff.
I found the timelapse very interesting, it certainly gives the series a better pace and it is a chill experience without delaying or making the playthrough slow. Maybe you could implement that to Soviet Republic.
As an industrial designer, it is a joy to see how you design the enclosure, the paths, the environment, and the realistic approach to the series (like not covering the cooler completely).
I do think we (your audience and you) should take advantage of the tools the game provides and rename EVERYTHING
\(^u^)/ Animals, enclosures, facilities, and staff, if possible! Names for the Name God, Monickers for the Monicker badge!
Ur thumbnail made me click and no regrets.
I subbed
Glad to hear it! =)
I just got this game for christmas, and i found this video. This teached me so much and it's intertaining to watch
1:04:16 the snow you are putting on the ground is melting, you need power for the cooler in order for the snow to be seen/apart of the habitat. the snow is also why your getting too much rock, it messes up the ground to turn into rock.
Your game is very bugged, mine’s fine
AgentN he did get it early access so..yea
i would love to get animal planet but it’s so expensive lol i’ll just find a roblox knockoff
😍
The game's called Planet Zoo just FYI, if u were referring to this
New to the series but love how you explain everything. Thank you
Glad to hear it! =)
This is cool man! I feel your pain for symmetry and perfection LoL. I am excited for the rest of the series. Might wait till you have a few eps on :)
