"Keepers will work out how much food they need to prepare for a habitat based on how many animals are in the habitat. They will then prioritise filling enrichment feeders before standard feeders. This can mean that if all of the prepared food is placed in enrichment feeders, the standard feeders won't be filled." please give a thumps up, so James can see it!
I kinda figured that much (part 2 has already been recorded, so please forgive if I bring it up again), but it still seems odd that they don't fill feeders to me haha
@@JamesTurnerYT I don't know why they do this kind of mechanism... but I think, if the keepers fill the feeders then the animals will be no longer hungry, so won't play with the food toy, which is more attractive for the people looking in... But it just a theory.
Just to note, the Komodo Dragon’s fertility is at 0%. I expect you’ll pull a Classic James in the future and wonder, “Why aren’t they having any babies?!” 😂 Love this series so far, I hope you continue it for a while!!
@Hophif you research the animal, you get like a 15% bonus somewhere in the middle of research and 30% bonus by fully researching them, meaning a 0% fertility is then 30% likely to have offspring :)
@@Madrovity very exciting, but the pay is terrible. Its really a job you need to love to do. My best advice is trying out work experience in a zoo. You'll get a feel for it but also valuable experience which you absolutely need.
I wish I could say the same... but the deal I have with my husband is finish my BA thesis (January final deadline) first before I get the game (as a graduation gift...)… thank goodness that James is already building stuff...
I did Indonesian in high school and had to learn about komodos. I had a heart attack when he lowered the barrier because those things are incredibly venomous and are quite fast runners - I don't know if they can climb but one dare devil sticking their hand over the barrier = dead dare devil. Loved the video though :-)
@@ashullu I ended up Googling it and komodos can climb - (according to Wikipedia) mostly done when young to avoid being eaten but can still be done into adult hood, just not seen as often because they're better able to defend themselves.
Was pretty sure they could climb trees, at the least (even though they're huge and heavy...), since most monitors can. So I was watching James lower the fence with some trepidation... ://
I feel this in my core. I'm in the middle of midterms, have my grandma moving in with me this week. Than at some point before the year is out I'll be moving myself. Oh and work.
I've got four research papers due at the end of the month... I'm going to use this game as a reward for completing "daily goals"... we'll see how long that lasts XD
Finally !! So excited for this let’s play ! Just a little advice, I think it will be best if you find another place for the cam. We can’t see the notifications of the game :)
Every time the game suggests more shelter, it makes me happy that the animals get a chance to retreat and James complains that you can't see them enough anymore 😂
As Indonesian, I sure that Komodo Dragon can't jump. But, young Komodo Dragon (1-2 Yo) is capable to climb a tree...also Komodo do bite people and if komodo bite you = Death because they've venomous saliva lol. Really love this Planet Zoo series :D You can search "Pulau Komodo/Komodo Island" Pic to help you make more realistic habitat for them.
Loving the name of the komodo dragon! Bulan in Indonesian/ Malay translates to moon! Can’t wait for more builds tbh! Super excited. P/S: HAVE FUN IN SIMS CAMP SEMAJ!! Take care of yourself and sending love and light to you and Deli’s way!!
hmmmmm how convenient that this video was somehow uploaded right when the game was made available 👀... 🤣 made for a nice distraction while downloading and installing!
I’m SO happy you are playing Planet Zoo! Keep that going. But also, please play an updated Prison Architect on Flabaliki! So much has changed since Paradox bought it and they’ve added so many new items. We all need this!
Omg yes more planet zoo!! I used to play zoo tycoon 2 all the time as a child! And wolves were my favourite, I used to just go into creative mode and focus on breeding all of the cutest wolves and different wolf packs. Honestly such a good game, I can’t wait to buy planet zoo!
I don’t know what it is, maybe James’ voice is just that soothing but I’ve fallen asleep countless times watching his videos. 😂 Including ones I’m very interested in. I always have to go back and watch them again. Anyone else??
Training the keeper to level 2 usually fixes the problem of the animals not being fed. Just for anyone wondering, yeah they will prioritize the enrichment before the "food bowl", but if they are level one then often they just clean some poo and wander off without ever actually feeding. Learning this saved me a ton of frustration, and hopefully it's something that is fixed soon
Forget the Sims I just want more of this content. I was actually wondering while watching if this game is part of the reason you changed your name from the sim supply? To get to do a wider variety of games on here. I'm all for it. I loved seeing all the beta content on this game, I'm so pumped for a fully fleshed out let's play. I want you to have all the animals!
This is my first video of yours, you’re very entertaining to watch! Most people just like to screw around on Planet Zoo so it’s fun to see you take the game seriously lol. Excited to watch your series. (: + love the long episodes!
I think it would be a great idea to organize the zoo in sections! Like the savanna section, the tundra ... the animals will be much more organized and, in my opinion, would be more aesthetic ... Please like this comment if you like the idea too, so James can see it! ❤️❤️
TBH my experiences of zoos are that the enclosures are built more to conserve and protect animals than for customers. Meaning that especially with big mammals like wolves, lynxes etc. they tend to build the enclosures in a way that does give the animals some shelter if they feel like they need it, more than building them in a way that customers can always see the animal. IMO the enclosures James built are quite realistic in that way
I have been watching Planet Zoo videos on and off all day and your let’s play is by far the best I have watched. There are quite a few TH-camrs who could greatly benefit from watching your video. P.S. please call Deli and give her some tips. Watching her video gave me anxiety. Haha
love your videos and am so excited to see Planet Zoo again! Wanted to let you know that the staff buildings cannot be hidden so they won't affect customers. It is by a distance area, so even if you hide the buildings, the customers are still negatively affected within a certain area. Can't wait to see more videos!
Planet Zoo!! Finally, it's here! Bless James for giving us a video before I'd even seen that it was out!?? This was great, considering buying the game!
Just got home from a super long day at work and saw this was uploaded and I couldn't be happier. Watching you build stuff is really relaxing to me for some reason. Looking forward to seeing this zoo develop!
You might want to check the heatmaps. The "negative impat on guests" one will show you the radius in which staff facilities will have a bad impact on the guests. And under "Habitat" you can filter for "traversable area" and "shelter", it will show you with a selected animal where it can move around, escape and which areas count as shelter. Quite useful. For next animal, how about one of the tortoises?
It's been so long since I've played Zoo Tycoon!!! This is so detailed compared to that. How did i not know about this game? Will definitely download when I can buy a laptop. :) Until then thanks for showing this game off!
At the end I just screamed NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I never wanted this to end please Stream this on twitch I NEED to see this watching you play this makes me want this game so bad I enjoyed watching this way too much
I always love watching your builds. You have such a cool way of thinking about any space you're working on and it's awesome watching that vision come to life. I'm so excited you're playing Planet Zoo! Looking forward to many more in this series!
Love these videos! I am so excited for Planet Zoo. I had one thought for this series; maybe you can have the feed of you in the mid-bottom left or top middle or something? The top left, in this game, has a lot of critical data and windows open there by default. It's hard to follow along with what you're doing and learn as we can't see! But other than that I am LOVING this series!! Can't wait to get a copy of this game!
I used to play zoo tycoon 2 all the time and i always hoped they'd finally give you the tools to MAKE a zoo instead of using simple stalls and cartsfor guests, and just umbrellas for animal shelter. cant wait to see more
I would love to see a water animal next!! And I think it would be so cool if you had like a bunch of statues of a bunch of different animals as the front entrance. It would be soo cool! Love these videos and can’t wait for more!!!
Finally someone who builds zoos and roller coaster parks the same way I do 😆 I usually have a circular path neat the entrance then have like 3-4 different paths going away from it. 😆 Thought I was the only one who did it that way.
CrazyAly246 google maps will show you. A town designed from scratch, instead of grown like a normal town - it's a bit strange, but not as peculiar as the people who live there.
I love Planet Zoooooooo! What animal should we get next??
Hippos!
Redeem yourself for what happened before 😅
When you do a smaller reptile exhibit, you should add a couple into a bigger building if that's a thing! :)
Hippos and flamingos!!
Bear!! Bears are cute! I want more planet zoo already 😩
Elephants! I'm obsessed with elephants
I hope this is a long series. Been looking forward to this game for AGES!
Yea, as an animal lover, ill watch this all day 😍
Im a Hooman same!
Im too
@@satrioesar7151 As a Zoo Keeper, same!
Same boi

James Turner too much food is not a good thing, they'll get fat lazy and dEAD🙃
Thank you I was wondering this! Thought my keepers just weren’t feeding them haha
You need to make work zones and select it at the zoo keeper. Then they get food :)
Just to note, the Komodo Dragon’s fertility is at 0%. I expect you’ll pull a Classic James in the future and wonder, “Why aren’t they having any babies?!” 😂 Love this series so far, I hope you continue it for a while!!
Catherine Moore well they did have Baby’s

"We can just cut their pay" as a zoologist I felt that 😂
SAMMEEEEE
Lmao. It's a very realistic game.
What is it like being a zoologist? I'm considering it as a future career
@@Madrovity very exciting, but the pay is terrible. Its really a job you need to love to do. My best advice is trying out work experience in a zoo. You'll get a feel for it but also valuable experience which you absolutely need.
@@amirulazhar2185 Lol
No hippos were harmed, or dissapeared, in the making of this video.
Would love to see a new Planet Zoo series. The game has expanded so much and I love James' commitment to the whole thing!
yaaaay! installing now. Screw university, im here for the lions, tigers and bears! oh my!
I wish I could say the same... but the deal I have with my husband is finish my BA thesis (January final deadline) first before I get the game (as a graduation gift...)… thank goodness that James is already building stuff...
And it's cheaper, go figure!
On which website do you download it?
I see your Todrick Hall reference :D
@@michaelabarbier9161 it's not cheaper?
23:50 “they’re gonna dieee... AH YEAH THIS ZOO IS SWEET” lmaoo
Always can count on James to live vicariously through him until I can even get the game😭😍
omg same i have a mac :(
Chanel Craze awe man it’s only for PC!? I have both but rip to the Mac users🙁
Same here
My heart goes out to you guys😭😭😭
I thought you could get it on Mac? It says you can buy it through an app called steam and steam can be used on Mac’s. 😫😖
I did Indonesian in high school and had to learn about komodos. I had a heart attack when he lowered the barrier because those things are incredibly venomous and are quite fast runners - I don't know if they can climb but one dare devil sticking their hand over the barrier = dead dare devil. Loved the video though :-)
i was in thailand and saw a monitor lizard coming from a river and climb up a stone wall. not sure if komodos can do the same thing
@@ashullu I ended up Googling it and komodos can climb - (according to Wikipedia) mostly done when young to avoid being eaten but can still be done into adult hood, just not seen as often because they're better able to defend themselves.
They can climb, specially 1 meter fences
Was pretty sure they could climb trees, at the least (even though they're huge and heavy...), since most monitors can. So I was watching James lower the fence with some trepidation... ://
YES omg no one who has ever been to Komodo Island will ever trust a shortened barrier x'D
Why do they always release the good games when I have so much other stuff to do!
I feel this in my core. I'm in the middle of midterms, have my grandma moving in with me this week. Than at some point before the year is out I'll be moving myself. Oh and work.
Agreed I want this as well as the new Sims 4 expansion pack comes out next Friday the 15th and I have to work out which one I want the most
I've got four research papers due at the end of the month... I'm going to use this game as a reward for completing "daily goals"... we'll see how long that lasts XD
@@HPGunshot oh that's smart, good luck with your papers! I think for me due to feeling burnt out it's best if I just stay away from the game.
it's run-up to Christmas 🤶
I DEMAND AN HOUR LONG EPISODES TO COME
I'm a simmer who's just discovered Planet Zoo. I love your Sims videos and I'm glad to have found this series. Planet Zoo is really cool. ❤
Did anyone else think of Pride Rock (Lion King) when he started placing rocks.
Definitely need to do that when you do a lion habitat (next video?)
Yes Lion Enclosure with Pride Rock!!
I just watched “let’s game it out” play planet zoo. He basically just tortured giraffes and hurled dead animal corpses at people XD
Same hahha coming here and seeing James taking it so seriously was a change of pace haha
i can't be the only one who returns to this series every month just because i love this game and want james to do more on it
James you gotta put a toilet for the guests near the entrance, they have had long car journeys to get there. Okay i might be over thinking it.
I really want this to be a series! The game looks so cool and I love James’ content so freaking much!
Finally !! So excited for this let’s play ! Just a little advice, I think it will be best if you find another place for the cam. We can’t see the notifications of the game :)
“We don’t want the staff area exposed.. that’s gross” 😂😂😂😂
Heidi Jay my guests have been moaning about being able to see the staff facilities 😭😂
“DRAGONS CAN CLIMB” I shout at my phone while watching this video as I’m currently studying to be a zoo keeper 😂😂
Maaaan, I know you have to break these up into separate videos, but I wasn't done yet lol. Keep 'em coming
Zoo Tycoon was the first game I got hooked on and this looks absolutely amazing! Downloading rn
This is not zoo tycoon!It is planet zoo.
Every time the game suggests more shelter, it makes me happy that the animals get a chance to retreat and James complains that you can't see them enough anymore 😂
I’ve been looking forward to this for sooo long I can’t contain my excitement. I wish I could play it but I have to finish my exams first.
Same😢
As Indonesian, I sure that Komodo Dragon can't jump. But, young Komodo Dragon (1-2 Yo) is capable to climb a tree...also Komodo do bite people and if komodo bite you = Death because they've venomous saliva lol. Really love this Planet Zoo series :D

I really enjoy these videos and would love a whole series 💙💙
Yay I’ve been waiting for this
Loving the name of the komodo dragon! Bulan in Indonesian/ Malay translates to moon! Can’t wait for more builds tbh! Super excited.
P/S: HAVE FUN IN SIMS CAMP SEMAJ!! Take care of yourself and sending love and light to you and Deli’s way!!
Also love how you did your face cam. Love the cropped green screen
hmmmmm how convenient that this video was somehow uploaded right when the game was made available 👀... 🤣
made for a nice distraction while downloading and installing!
I’m SO happy you are playing Planet Zoo! Keep that going.
But also, please play an updated Prison Architect on Flabaliki! So much has changed since Paradox bought it and they’ve added so many new items. We all need this!
Planet Zoo is cheaper than The Sims 4’s expansion packs👀
Hmmm interesting 👀👀👀 pretty sure my laptop won't make it tho
They’ll all be on sale during Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Best time to buy. 👌🏼
cuz these tycoon type games are largely indi games. most of them used to come pre-installed back in the day.
Marta Plebańska same
I paid 40 for planet zoo but only 19.99 for seasons🤷🏻♀️ yall gotta use cdkeys.com
Wherever you go, James will always love his roundabouts ;-)
Red pandas are also one of my favorites! When I first started dating my husband he didnt believe me that they were even a real animal 😂😂😂
I agree, I'm adding red pandas next in my zoo
Omg yes more planet zoo!! I used to play zoo tycoon 2 all the time as a child! And wolves were my favourite, I used to just go into creative mode and focus on breeding all of the cutest wolves and different wolf packs. Honestly such a good game, I can’t wait to buy planet zoo!
Finally someone play this seriously.
Please continue it. I would love to see this series!
I don’t know what it is, maybe James’ voice is just that soothing but I’ve fallen asleep countless times watching his videos. 😂 Including ones I’m very interested in. I always have to go back and watch them again. Anyone else??
I am a HUGE tortoise lover. Having two different types of tortoises in this games makes me so happy. The first exhibits I make always have tortoises.
Never heard of planet zoo, clicked the video and the ad was planet zoo so I watched it to see what it was now I'm watching and I'm very excited 🤣
we need more planet zoo

Seeing you getting excited for every like all the animals, made my day!
Zoo Tycoon was my childhood so these Planet Zoo videos make me so happy
I am so stoked about this! I need like a million more videos I'm already deeply invested in this zoo.

James knows how to save money since he has been playing so many ''Rags to Riches'' series.
love the realism on what all the animals enjoy in this game makes learning 10 times more fun
I loved this! The game is so informative and enjoyable!

Fun facts, komodo dragon can jump quite high so it's a good move to have a high wall 😊
I Am Excited For This Series!!!♥️🌿🐺
Already loving this series!
Forget the sims, just play planet zoo. I need part 2. Now!
Honestly this is probably best TH-camr I've seen that has a face that matches their voice. Love the Lady Bigwallet series btw👍👍
This is giving hard Zoo Tycoon vibes and I LOVE IT! I was obsessed with that when I was younger!
scared the crap out of me when the video started and my volume was louder than i expected. almost shat myself.
You almost *shat* yourself?
@@unfortunatelyriley yup. shat: past tense of shit 😉
I love how you built so much in 34 mins and yet I took an hour last night to build my entrance path and a pond with a centerpiece haha
Dang you released exactly just before launch
(You should make merch for your zoo, that would be amazing)
When you love animals so much that you are procrastinating doing an animal husbandry assignment by watching a guy play an animal looking after game.
"let's not waste space on staff"
So relatable 😂
Please keep this series going! I love it and you’re the only one I enjoy watching play this game! 🥰

so excited to see the zoo grow
I’ve been looking forward to this game!!!! I need more already!!!
i was about to go to bed but then i refreshed the home page and now i’m staying up for another half hour. well worth it tbh
My new favorite series I cant get enough. I would love to see a super naturalistic zoo
Planet zoo time!!!! So thrilled about the new animals.
Btw if you are unsure if the animal can get out, you can select them and check the ‘traversable area’
At the end I just screamed NOOOOOOOOO!!!!! I never wanted this to end please Stream this on twitch I NEED to see this watching you play this makes me want this game so bad I enjoyed watching this way too much
the komodo dragon names are so pretty ♡ this game is so well researched wow
Decrease the range of the coolers so they don’t cool the path down !
Longer episodes please : ) I love this series already!!
I'm so excited for this! Wolves are my favorite animal, I was so happy when you picked them first lol
Yeeesss😍😍😍
I've been wating for this🥳🥳

I want this game. I used to play zoo tycoon. I liked feeding the guests to the animals.
I've really been looking forward to this series! Can't wait for more!
Oh pretty please do a bonobo exhibit! They are my absolute favorite!
I used to play zoo tycoon 2 all the time and i always hoped they'd finally give you the tools to MAKE a zoo instead of using simple stalls and cartsfor guests, and just umbrellas for animal shelter. cant wait to see more
Yea! Im so HAPPY! Since I can't play this game, the other best option is watching this series! 😊
I would love to see a water animal next!! And I think it would be so cool if you had like a bunch of statues of a bunch of different animals as the front entrance. It would be soo cool! Love these videos and can’t wait for more!!!
Wave that sidewalk around baby. lol iI love the black and white pandas
Wish I could like this more than once! Can’t wait for the next episode 👀
