This episode goes over the basics of this game at a very slow pace! If you have played before, and are comfortable in how to start making money, you may want to skip to episode 2 which is more the typical format of this series! Anyway, hope you enjoy! 😄 th-cam.com/video/Tk5VJsblG_s/w-d-xo.html
Just started playing Planet Zoo and I honestly can't stress enough how helpful and easy to follow this guide was! I will definitely be sticking around for the rest of this series!
I just got the game like 3 days ago and YOU are the best in educating new players like me with the horrendous pathing system. I learned so much especially with using CTRL to not let the path snap immediately to the buildings
I just wanna say, thank you so much. I’m a beginner who just got the game recently and I was very frustarted because this game is quite overwhelming to start playing. And the in-game tutorial is horrible! Your videos really helped me grasp the basics. Your content is perfect because it’s both calm and very clear to understand. I started to build my zoo along with yours and I can confirm this video is perfect for building along! Not too slow, not too fast. Nice and detailed but focused on the things that are important. I’ll be watching the rest as well. Just wanted to comment that you really helped me out!
Ahh thank you so much for the comment and feedback! Great to hear it is helpful and the pace was good. Hope you continue to enjoy the series and find it helpful!
Just started playing with the release of the console edition and I can't thank you enough for this! It's an overwhelming game but you made it seem so friendly and fun.
Ohhh fun! How exciting to see a new series that isn't Cities! If your detailing here is anything like your skills in Cities, this should be great. Think I might follow along with this, always fancied PZ!
This video was a better onboarding to the game than the 13 hours I've so far spent in the tutorial career! Can't wait to watch the others in the series :D
I've recently bought the game, and have started with the career tutorials, but have twice got stuck trying to do the Canadian tutorial. I'll try this guided build next, see if I can get a zoo going that way.
I had to restart the candian one, my first attempt with it I was a little too ambitious from the beginning with big bears and wolves, though they do like the climate! @@hanneken4026
Finding the start of a NEW series build by you FC absolutely made my day. I have had this game for a year or so and it has always puzzled me on how to actually play it - I have watched several other artists explanations on how to go about building their zoo but you put them to shame. Watching your initial video on Planet Zoo has taught me tips and tricks already, thanks. I look forward to now following you on Planet Zoo as well as Cities Skylines. No one, absolutely no one comes close to your detailing expertise.
Ahh thank you so much! Incredibly kind words! And glad you are happy to see planet zoo here too, love playing this game so hopefully the series continues to give you some tips along the way!
I have watched a lot of guides but for real, this is by far the best one I've seen yet. You're explaining every step and show us how to recreate it instead of just talking about it, which is what stands out. I will watch the other episodes of this asap.
I have to sit around a month to recover from surgery. I decided to download 30gb of Zoo mods to play the game again. I haven't played in 2 years. Your video was the first place I went to learn how to play again :) I know it's a hassle to make these videos and people whine about everything, but thank you for your content.
The last time I left a comment on a video was over a year ago (with me using youtube daily), and you definitely deserve it. Everything was explained well and as somebody who has just bought the game, this is definitely an essential video to watch for anybody joining. Good job!
You single handedly saved the game from getting returned from my steam library! Thanks for all the helpful insights and tipps. I was playing Planet coaster yrs ago but didnt think planet zoo would be so different apart from basic game mechanics! :D Love the vid!
Same here, almost returned it, will give it a go tomorrow along woth this tutorial. Have to fogure out how to get a view from above as if a bird’s view…. Hope it is here somewhere…
I found you doing a search because I just bought Planet Zoo on Steam. I enjoy the fact that you going slow so that a newbie like myself can enjoy doing the game up right. Thank you!
I played non stop when the game first came out, a few years ago I moved on to another game, and stopped playing. I thought I would start playing again. So glad you made these more recent tutorials. I did not realize how much I had forgotten.
This was really informative and, even though I've been playing for a while, I still learned some new tricks; I'll definitely be checking out other videos in the series. I would also suggest, for people new to playing Franchise mode, after hiring a zookeeper, vet, and mechanic to immediately change their pay to the lowest amount still in green to help save some money. Those three specifically get paid wayyy more at the start than they need to be. Also, if breeding decent animals is important, than after buying an animal, put it into the quarantine building ASAP and press play for a hot second so the game registers the animal. The game won't count the animal as being in the zoo until it's actually placed somewhere in the game (example: into a habitat or into quarantine) so it won't show up if you want to compare mates. This may be a specific feature for Franchise because a player can buy an animal from other peoples' zoos so until it's actually moved out of the Trade Center, the animal will continue to register as belonging to the seller's zoo.
Thank you so much for this! After running 3 zoos into the ground I decided to look online for help and after watching this I have 4 happy dingo's with some babies on the way!
Well Few, you have managed once again to get me hooked on something, so now I have to go and get this game! Like everyone else, I love your detailing craft, but more importantly, I like how you have detailed the in's and out's of this tutorial. As always, you're awesome girl!! Thanks so much!!
Oh my gosh. I have had several starts with Planet Zoo and different tutorials. Sooner or later, I got completely lost and everything felt complicated. Mostly the building mode and building fences felt frustrating. Your tutorial is the first one I feel relaxed and confident with. I like my little started zoo so much. Your instructions feel very intuitive and well-structured. It's feeling easy and not overwhelming at all. I'm looking forward to your next videos and thank you so much. :)
Perfect timing, got it from Steam Sales and was a bit overwhelmed by what to do first and how to do it, it's already a lot clearer now and, as usual, beautiful detailing! Thank you!
I've been playing games my whole life... but my god I was overwhelmed when I loaded into this! The tutorial doesn't really help all that much, so this video is an absolute godsend!
after a big failure on my first zoo with just 10m of gameplay, your tutorial saved me. i already have over a 70 thousand of cash! :D I chose the giant Galapagos turtle and it was a veeryyyy good choice to start, it worked pretty well within your tips!
I've had Planet Zoo for a year or so but never really got to play it, I then discovered all the DLC's being really cheap so I thought to myself today is the day! I'm so glad I found your series, this was easy to follow along with and it looks really good! I can't wait to see it grow!
I've had Planet Zoo on my Steam wishlist for ages and haven't actually bought it yet, but this is definitely making me want to finally grab the game and give it a shot myself. I LOVE the way you're covering the basics here and how you're talking through all of the hotkeys and menu options, your teaching/tutorial style is really excellent and makes everything seem a lot less overwhelming. Can't wait to keep learning from you and see your creative detailing skills in action in another game!
Hi, just wanted to say thanks for the help. I’ve been struggling to get really started with this game for many months now, cause I only have time to play this one in sporadic bursts due to being a frequent traveler and I couldn’t stay on it long enough to really get the grasp of it. I have a steam deck but everything gets too tiny on it for it to be practical for learning (plus it wasn’t really designed for controller). Downloaded and watched your video during one of my flights, it was really helpful in finally grasping what I needed when I have some time to play the game, and already have a proper zoo going on! So yeah, thanks!
WOW. If I come across anyone else wanting to learn Planet Zoo, I'm sending them directly to this video. I've been playing off and on for two years and I've learned more in this video than I've learned playing on my own 😅 I suspect that my next zoo will go much more smoothly with all this new information 😂 Thanks so much!!
Name ideas for the Nile Monitors: a) Name them after your CS cities i.e. Auridon etc. b) Name them after your favourite cheese c) Name them after Egyptian cities
As a pure novice I found placing the staff paths down first before placing the buildings down. The other way round I found them difficult to align. Got there in the end.
Omg absolutely brilliant tutorial! Thanks FewCandy. I have just bought the game and have no clue what I'm doing so this is super helpful. I appreciate your clear and concise explanations and guidance.
Thank you very much for the detailed guideness ( with helpful tricks ) & since a few days I have picked Planet Zoo up again; I bought it in 2019 and only played 30 min. of tutorial xD. Love to see more of these series. Keep up your great work and vids. Cheers!
I just restarted this game with the intent to do career on hard since I finished it before that was an option, so I'm happy to see you starting to dive into PZ!
Not sure if you get into this in the next episode, but when you drop your fence beyond the starting point or have a path going over and you have food & drink people WILL throw food into the enclosure unless you have a 'no feeding' sign within range which your animals can eat and it'll make them sick, or it will bring the enclosure score down.
Hello I’m a new player when it comes to games like this. This was an amazing guide. I play games like WoW and BG3. Saying that I have never had a guide that was more informative and genuinely entertaining. I hope my first Zoo isn’t a kill box.
Played tutorial but found it left a lot of the finer details of how to make a pretty zoo out, so I'll defo be watching this whole series and hope my zoos turn out out and not so dull and boring. Don't think I'll ever get to your standards like 😂
Zoo Tycoon was one of my favourite games growing up, so it's great to see its 'sequel' really take off! I'll be following along with this for sure, I'm sure your detailing skills from Cities will carry on over to this and it will most likely inspire me to pick up the game too!
Love the build and the very through instructions as you went. Can't wait to see the remainder of this series - you've got my vote Few! Please can we do a time lapse of the remaining build (for when you detailed up the bathroom areas and general public landscaping areas) - your time lapse is equally as enjoyable as the remainder of your build. Thanks Few. Great build.
Yes they will be in future episodes, this one was just far too long already to include it! Next episode will be more building focused now we've covered the basics😄
So excited to see this! I come from watching your City Skyline videos, so seeing a Planet Zoo was a great surprise! Thank you, now I'm gonna follow along in my own Zoo!
Have subscribed today..... I enjoyed the video and learned a few things I did not know before........ did not even know about the reduced animal aging rate setting there so a great tip.
The Transtion from the basic zoo to a more detailed part of the zoo was amazing ive just started playing this game and ive brought 2 DLC packs Today your video has helped me alot with my adventure to building my own Zoo thankyou for the great video you have gained a Subscriber! :D
Yey! Hope you enjoy it! This is more of a tutorial style series, but still some lovely detailing if you enjoy that further down the series! 😄 Thank you for watching all the content!!
Just bought this game around the holidays - great timing! I've played around a bit trying to figure it out but only 20 minutes in to this video and I've learned a lot. Thanks for going into such detail explaining things (particularly paths)! I'll definitely come back to finish this one and keep up with the series.
I’ve had this game since launch and every time I try it, it’s just a great big no, want to love it, just can’t play it. Until I discovered this series, amazing. However much credit you receive, it’ll never be enough. I can’t thank you enough
Thank you for making this. I've been getting so frustrated trying to play but after watching this video things make a lot more sense. Btw, I love the finised result of this video. The zoo already looks so oool!
I’ve tried to play PZ a couple of times in the past and immediately got overwhelmed and couldn’t figure anything out; this game has SUCH a steep learning curve. I had all but given up until I found this video series and decided I’d give it another college try. I can’t thank you enough for making this series! I’m following along with my own game and learning so much. I can’t stress this enough- this game was pretty much unplayable for me before I found these videos. Thank you again!!!
exhibit animals are the best starter animals. low running costs and low price but they breed so fast so u can sell babies for a lot of money if u build a lot exhibits.
super detailed and easy to follow. I like your slower pace as well, much needed for how I learn. will be watching more of your planet zoo content. extremely helpful thank you
Oh yes! I’ve been dying for someone I actually like and enjoy watching, to play planet zoo. It’s such an engrossing game. Can’t wait to see you detail and create your zoo. 🎉
How exciting!! I LOVE this game, and I can't wait to see all the STUNNING builds you do in this game! You're an amazing builder, so I have a feeling this is going to be GREAT!
I haven't touched planet zoo in months even though I used to be obsessed with the game, this might be what finally gets me back into it! I'm super excited to see how your incredible CS detailing skills transfer into this game, especially because the customisability of it is just absolutely wild! Also, may I suggest Nigel for one of the Nile Monitors? No reason, it just sounds fun 😂😂
I rarely comment on anything, but this was actually amazing. I kept my attention throughout and you were so thorough without repeating yourself too much! ❤
Few, I just wanted to reach out and tell you how much your videos of your Cities Skylines builds have inspired me. I actually bought Planet Zoo about a year ago and started playing it, but I ended up mostly playing Cities Skylines because of all the amazing videos you made about it. Your content has made me start playing Planet Zoo again and I just wanted to thank you for all the hard work you put into making those videos. You have an amazing talent for creating interesting and intriguing content, and I hope you continue to inspire others with your work. Thank you for all the joy your videos have brought me. - JB 🇿🇦
Can you build the Habitat so close to the Zoo Entrance? I had this idea for my Zoo! As soon as you walk into my Zoo! You’ll see the Shops, food, Drinks, merchandise, balloons, maybe Toilets. Information Center!
Seeing that you're starting a Planet Zoo series has made my day!! Your Cities Skylines videos/builds are always so impressive so I can't wait to watch along and get some tips for one of my favourite games! Thank you!!
Ok let me just say when i looked up a guide and i saw your video i was like geez one hour what in the world. But i love it you explained everything so well and left little to no room for questions i love it keep up the good work!!!
Aww thank you! Yes, there is a LOT in this game to get to grips with and this ep only really touches the basics! Super fun game once you get the hang of it though!
omg i just bought planet zoo and this video is a hugee help and super eazy to understand, im gonna keep watching this series cause i really love the game and i want to know more about it. Thank you 🙏🏼❤️
I've been thinking of getting this game, so I am glad to see a proper tutorial! And edit... I actually really like Few Zoo. It has a cute flow to it! 😁
You have done well in explaining all the needs for the game...even if I am not playing the game. I like to know what you are doing in the game. It does look like a fun watch. And it is different from what you normally do. Hope it works out!
Thank you so much for this! I have this game, but have never really gotten along with it because there's just SO MUCH detail etc and I always struggled to place things etc. So this was extremely helpful and makes me want to try the game again. :D Can't wait for more content. :D
Thank you! And welcome to the channel! Yes there's several more videos in this series already, with more to come. Very soon I'll be doing a plaza episode specifically on the design and placement of those, but lots on habitat detailing in there already!
Planet Zoo terrifies me a lot, mostly in the design department. I often feel like whatever I create looks rubbish, especially the habitats. But guides like yours make me want to actually try and make my own Zoo. Thank you very much for creating this!
As someone who's never seen this game played before... Wow! There's a lot to learn. Looks like I'll have to register early to get the best classes for my new upcoming PZ degree. 😆 When you placed in the educational speaker it reminded me of visiting the Turtle Back Zoo as a kid. (This was definitely pre internet and smart phones.) For a few dollars you could buy a special elephant shaped key that could be used throughout the zoo. Anyone who had a key could walk up to a key box set up next to an animals habitat. Upon using the key a recording would play that would talk about the animal in the habitat. The zoo understandably no longer uses these key boxes but it's nice to reminisce. I absolutely love the tree lined pathway. Just gorgeous 😍. And there definitely needs to be a mechanic named Bob.
loved the video... I just started playing the game and I really needed something like this video to get me even more hooked to it, thanks for that, you got a new subscriber
Suggested names for the lizards - Lizardnardo Devinci (because he is creative); Lizzy Borden (because she likes axes); Sergeant Slitherscales; Queen Elizardbeth
I just started this game. Watched the whole first episode. For me this game now is fun. Wouldnt be without your video. Im a slow learner, and your help is greatly appreciated. Like and sub
when you put the roof on the toilet I swear I could smell it :( great first ep, very good pace Im looking forward to building a new zoo, steam has DLC on 50% off atm so I thought its a great time to come back.
I've was on the fence about buying Planet Zoo when I found this playlist and after a few videos purchased the game and multiple packs from your discount link. So wanted to say thanks for the easy to follow tips and beautiful Zoo inspiration as well as the discount :) Planning to restart the playlist and watch all the way through following along a bit.
Thank you so much for this series! 😀 I bought the game 2 days ago, and the learning curve is, to say the least Daunting! I just finished the first video, but I am hooked into this series till the end. Your presentation, and explanations are spot on and really informative. Thanks again for doing this!
This is awesome FewCandy, please keep going. While I wouldn't play cause I'm no good at these kinda games lol I love watching others play. You made it look so lovely
Oooooh this is a fun change! I've never played Planet Zoo but had a shot at Planet Coaster before but I'm here for the ride, I think you're already convincing me to get it downloaded!
I just got this game and your video was really useful! I'm having a weird issue however In one of my enclosures the animals keep getting stressed and complaining about needing to hide. They had enough hiding places and the enclosure wasn't overpopulated. After hours I gave up and raised all the walls and closed all openings so the visitors couldn't even look in and it kept having the same problem. It's so weird because the other enclosures were 100% Chain-link and had no problems at all. I even took them out of the enclosure and sent them to quarantine and their stress wouldn't go down at all. They were arvaks and I decided to sell them and get tortoises instead and put them in the same enclosure and had the exact same problem with them. It's just this one specific enclosure it seems. Anyone knows what could be happening?
You know when you are in Math class and you learn 2+2=4? And then in the test you get a question like: if Peter buys 2 apples and shares it with 17 people, 1/3 of which can't eat apples, while midair and if you don't account for gravity, what is the meaning of life? That's how I felt at the end of this video with the detailing 😂 but amazing video, thanks for being awesome!
😂 This made me laugh so hard, I think that is Planet Zoo in a nutshell to every new player!! Thank you! I do go on to explain finer detailing tricks as we go through the series! 😅
This episode goes over the basics of this game at a very slow pace! If you have played before, and are comfortable in how to start making money, you may want to skip to episode 2 which is more the typical format of this series! Anyway, hope you enjoy! 😄 th-cam.com/video/Tk5VJsblG_s/w-d-xo.html
U shud Call one of the Monitors Nile Rodger’s
Hey you stole my suggestion U must be as awesome as me!
Cheers Bro I thought as it was a Nile Monitor it had to be Nile Roger!!!
Just what I thought as well
Can I ask you a question? Does Planet Zoo have construction limitations on PC?
Just started playing Planet Zoo and I honestly can't stress enough how helpful and easy to follow this guide was! I will definitely be sticking around for the rest of this series!
Ahh thank you so much, that is great to hear!
im pc and this helps @@fewcandy
I just got the game like 3 days ago and YOU are the best in educating new players like me with the horrendous pathing system. I learned so much especially with using CTRL to not let the path snap immediately to the buildings
Ahh thank you! So glad it's helpful for you, the pathing actually isn't too bad once you have practice and know about the few little 'hacks'!
I just wanna say, thank you so much. I’m a beginner who just got the game recently and I was very frustarted because this game is quite overwhelming to start playing. And the in-game tutorial is horrible!
Your videos really helped me grasp the basics. Your content is perfect because it’s both calm and very clear to understand. I started to build my zoo along with yours and I can confirm this video is perfect for building along! Not too slow, not too fast. Nice and detailed but focused on the things that are important.
I’ll be watching the rest as well. Just wanted to comment that you really helped me out!
Ahh thank you so much for the comment and feedback! Great to hear it is helpful and the pace was good. Hope you continue to enjoy the series and find it helpful!
Just started playing with the release of the console edition and I can't thank you enough for this! It's an overwhelming game but you made it seem so friendly and fun.
Thank you! It is incredibly complex at first but you'll get the hang of it in no time!
This game is so complicated that a beginner guide for game basics on youtube is the length of a Disney animated movie
And this is only the first of a series 😉😂
Ohhh fun! How exciting to see a new series that isn't Cities! If your detailing here is anything like your skills in Cities, this should be great. Think I might follow along with this, always fancied PZ!
Thanks Egg! And I wanna see those screenies if you do follow along! 😄
OVERCHARGED EGG....You should do a zoo too! I LOVE watching your builds in Cities, so I think you could blow this out of the water too. 😃
This video was a better onboarding to the game than the 13 hours I've so far spent in the tutorial career! Can't wait to watch the others in the series :D
Ahh thank you so much! Glad you found it helpful and hope you enjoy the series, still more to come in it!
I've recently bought the game, and have started with the career tutorials, but have twice got stuck trying to do the Canadian tutorial. I'll try this guided build next, see if I can get a zoo going that way.

This is how you do proper tutorials. Very well done. On to part two.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it and hope you continue to find the series useful!
less than 10 minutes in and already more helpful than the dozens of other tutorials i've watch or even the in game one. thank you so much.
Ahh thank you so much, that's great to hear it was helpful!

Ooooh Planet Zoo. I haven't seen anyone do a zoo in a long time. Looking forward to this one.

Thank you! Great to hear it was useful for you, I’ve tried to break it down so it’s more accessible to people but still getting a nice detailed zoo!
Perfect timing, got it from Steam Sales and was a bit overwhelmed by what to do first and how to do it, it's already a lot clearer now and, as usual, beautiful detailing! Thank you!
Great to hear and glad it helps! Such a fun game to play once you get the hang of it! 😄
I know this is an older lets play but I'm loving this soooo much!❤❤❤

Just getting over being sick and this is the perfect present for AudioNerd!! 🎉
Oh no hope you are feeling better! But glad AudioNerd can enjoy it!! 😄
This was great. I don’t get much from speed builds, so it’s nice to have someone go through it step by step. Keep it coming!

Omg absolutely brilliant tutorial! Thanks FewCandy. I have just bought the game and have no clue what I'm doing so this is super helpful. I appreciate your clear and concise explanations and guidance.
Ahh thank you, so glad it was helpful for you!!
Thank you so much for this! I just bought the game today and was very overwhelmed!
Thank you very much for the detailed guideness ( with helpful tricks ) & since a few days I have picked Planet Zoo up again; I bought it in 2019 and only played 30 min. of tutorial xD. Love to see more of these series. Keep up your great work and vids. Cheers!
Thank you! Glad you find it useful! 😄
I just restarted this game with the intent to do career on hard since I finished it before that was an option, so I'm happy to see you starting to dive into PZ!
Not sure if you get into this in the next episode, but when you drop your fence beyond the starting point or have a path going over and you have food & drink people WILL throw food into the enclosure unless you have a 'no feeding' sign within range which your animals can eat and it'll make them sick, or it will bring the enclosure score down.
Now I'm off to episode two. This was such a great start!
Yes great point and one I was going to cover later on alongside guest barriers, but certainly should have mentioned it alongside this enclosure!
This will prove useful considering a managed to put myself in life ruining debt after the first few hours of playing.
Hello I’m a new player when it comes to games like this. This was an amazing guide. I play games like WoW and BG3. Saying that I have never had a guide that was more informative and genuinely entertaining. I hope my first Zoo isn’t a kill box.
Ahh thank you so much, really kind words and so glad it was useful for you!
Played tutorial but found it left a lot of the finer details of how to make a pretty zoo out, so I'll defo be watching this whole series and hope my zoos turn out out and not so dull and boring. Don't think I'll ever get to your standards like 😂
Zoo Tycoon was one of my favourite games growing up, so it's great to see its 'sequel' really take off! I'll be following along with this for sure, I'm sure your detailing skills from Cities will carry on over to this and it will most likely inspire me to pick up the game too!
Oh it's so much fun! You'll do some mad stuff in it if you ever get it with your detailing skills! 😄
Thank you for this video! I recently got back into playing planet zoo after not playing for years and i totally forgot how to play the game lol
Love the build and the very through instructions as you went. Can't wait to see the remainder of this series - you've got my vote Few! Please can we do a time lapse of the remaining build (for when you detailed up the bathroom areas and general public landscaping areas) - your time lapse is equally as enjoyable as the remainder of your build. Thanks Few. Great build.
Yes they will be in future episodes, this one was just far too long already to include it! Next episode will be more building focused now we've covered the basics😄
So excited to see this! I come from watching your City Skyline videos, so seeing a Planet Zoo was a great surprise! Thank you, now I'm gonna follow along in my own Zoo!
Yey great to hear!! Thank you!
ooh the terain. i think that was my favorite.
Have subscribed today..... I enjoyed the video and learned a few things I did not know before........ did not even know about the reduced animal aging rate setting there so a great tip.
Thank you! And welcome to the channel!
overwhelmed with this game but this series is definitely encouraging me as i follow along
The Transtion from the basic zoo to a more detailed part of the zoo was amazing ive just started playing this game and ive brought 2 DLC packs Today your video has helped me alot with my adventure to building my own Zoo thankyou for the great video you have gained a Subscriber! :D
Thank you so much! So great to hear it has been helpful! 😄 And welcome to the channel!
Just finished watching the Auridon series and the first Solitude episodes so now time for planet zoo while waiting for new solitude video's to drop 😁
Yey! Hope you enjoy it! This is more of a tutorial style series, but still some lovely detailing if you enjoy that further down the series! 😄 Thank you for watching all the content!!
Just bought this game around the holidays - great timing! I've played around a bit trying to figure it out but only 20 minutes in to this video and I've learned a lot. Thanks for going into such detail explaining things (particularly paths)! I'll definitely come back to finish this one and keep up with the series.
Thank you! Glad you found it useful, a few more tips on paths are in the next episode too!
I’ve had this game since launch and every time I try it, it’s just a great big no, want to love it, just can’t play it. Until I discovered this series, amazing. However much credit you receive, it’ll never be enough. I can’t thank you enough
Aww thank you so much! This comment really means a lot to hear, so glad it's helped you!!
Thank you for making this. I've been getting so frustrated trying to play but after watching this video things make a lot more sense. Btw, I love the finised result of this video. The zoo already looks so oool!
Thank you! So glad it was helpful for you!
I’ve tried to play PZ a couple of times in the past and immediately got overwhelmed and couldn’t figure anything out; this game has SUCH a steep learning curve. I had all but given up until I found this video series and decided I’d give it another college try. I can’t thank you enough for making this series! I’m following along with my own game and learning so much. I can’t stress this enough- this game was pretty much unplayable for me before I found these videos. Thank you again!!!
Ahh thank you! That's so nice to hear and I'm so glad I can help people get to grips with it as it's so fun once you figure out how the heck to play!
exhibit animals are the best starter animals. low running costs and low price but they breed so fast so u can sell babies for a lot of money if u build a lot exhibits.
super detailed and easy to follow. I like your slower pace as well, much needed for how I learn. will be watching more of your planet zoo content. extremely helpful thank you
Thank you! Glad you find it helpful!
great video for me, i struggled a lot, now it's easier to play with that new info!:)
Thank you, glad you found it useful!
Oh yes! I’ve been dying for someone I actually like and enjoy watching, to play planet zoo. It’s such an engrossing game. Can’t wait to see you detail and create your zoo. 🎉
Thank you, can't wait to get stuck further in! 😄
Excited to see any games you play! Love your warm and silly personality, thanks for the great content!
Haha love that description of me! 😂 And thank you, hope you enjoy it!
How exciting!! I LOVE this game, and I can't wait to see all the STUNNING builds you do in this game! You're an amazing builder, so I have a feeling this is going to be GREAT!
Thank you Ciera! 😄
I haven't touched planet zoo in months even though I used to be obsessed with the game, this might be what finally gets me back into it! I'm super excited to see how your incredible CS detailing skills transfer into this game, especially because the customisability of it is just absolutely wild!
Also, may I suggest Nigel for one of the Nile Monitors? No reason, it just sounds fun 😂😂
Love the name! Thanks Emma! And hope I can get you stuck back in to it! 😄
I rarely comment on anything, but this was actually amazing. I kept my attention throughout and you were so thorough without repeating yourself too much! ❤
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video 😄
Few, I just wanted to reach out and tell you how much your videos of your Cities Skylines builds have inspired me. I actually bought Planet Zoo about a year ago and started playing it, but I ended up mostly playing Cities Skylines because of all the amazing videos you made about it. Your content has made me start playing Planet Zoo again and I just wanted to thank you for all the hard work you put into making those videos. You have an amazing talent for creating interesting and intriguing content, and I hope you continue to inspire others with your work. Thank you for all the joy your videos have brought me. - JB 🇿🇦
Ahh thank you so much Jannie, that is very kind words, and fills me with happiness to hear they bring you joy! ❤ Thank you!
Can you build the Habitat so close to the Zoo Entrance? I had this idea for my Zoo! As soon as you walk into my Zoo! You’ll see the Shops, food, Drinks, merchandise, balloons, maybe Toilets. Information Center!
And I thought Cities was complicated to master detailing! I'll happily watch more of this. Surely ZooCandy rolls of the tongue better than FewZoo?
Thanks Ben and yes I don't know how I didn't think of that!!! 😂
Got the game in steam sale but I haven't tried it yet. But oh boy here you come, thanks!
Well hopefully this helps when you do start to play! 😄
Seeing that you're starting a Planet Zoo series has made my day!! Your Cities Skylines videos/builds are always so impressive so I can't wait to watch along and get some tips for one of my favourite games! Thank you!!
Yey!! Good to hear of another zoo fan! 😄 Love this game too!
Ok let me just say when i looked up a guide and i saw your video i was like geez one hour what in the world. But i love it you explained everything so well and left little to no room for questions i love it keep up the good work!!!
Aww thank you! Yes, there is a LOT in this game to get to grips with and this ep only really touches the basics! Super fun game once you get the hang of it though!
Thank you so much! I fell off of planet zoo as I found it overwhelming! But this had made me want to have another go :)
Hopefully the series can set you off of the right foot! It’s a super fun game once you get your head round some of the mechanics!
Very informative, thank you 😊 I’m looking forward to the next instalment of this series ❤️
omg i just bought planet zoo and this video is a hugee help and super eazy to understand, im gonna keep watching this series cause i really love the game and i want to know more about it. Thank you 🙏🏼❤️
Ahh thank you! Great to know it was helpful and hope the other videos also still help. More in this series coming soon too!
I've been thinking of getting this game, so I am glad to see a proper tutorial!
And edit... I actually really like Few Zoo. It has a cute flow to it! 😁
Thanks Meesa! It's such a fun game to play once you get the hang of it!
Just started playing this, this week.. what a godsend of a playthrough.
Thank you so much! Glad it's helpful :)
@@fewcandy I watched the whole thing in one go.. kinda fell i the rabbit hole with this and rudi’s vids
You have done well in explaining all the needs for the game...even if I am not playing the game. I like to know what you are doing in the game. It does look like a fun watch. And it is different from what you normally do. Hope it works out!
Thank you for this guide! Makes me want to give this game another try! ☺️
Thank you so much for this! I have this game, but have never really gotten along with it because there's just SO MUCH detail etc and I always struggled to place things etc. So this was extremely helpful and makes me want to try the game again. :D Can't wait for more content. :D
Yey great to hear! Thank you!
This was GREAT, for someone just starting , specially hope there's futher videos on habitat detailing, making path plazas, etc. Subbed!
Thank you! And welcome to the channel! Yes there's several more videos in this series already, with more to come. Very soon I'll be doing a plaza episode specifically on the design and placement of those, but lots on habitat detailing in there already!
Planet Zoo terrifies me a lot, mostly in the design department. I often feel like whatever I create looks rubbish, especially the habitats. But guides like yours make me want to actually try and make my own Zoo. Thank you very much for creating this!
Thank you, I'm glad it was helpful!
As someone who's never seen this game played before... Wow! There's a lot to learn. Looks like I'll have to register early to get the best classes for my new upcoming PZ degree. 😆
When you placed in the educational speaker it reminded me of visiting the Turtle Back Zoo as a kid. (This was definitely pre internet and smart phones.) For a few dollars you could buy a special elephant shaped key that could be used throughout the zoo. Anyone who had a key could walk up to a key box set up next to an animals habitat. Upon using the key a recording would play that would talk about the animal in the habitat.
The zoo understandably no longer uses these key boxes but it's nice to reminisce.
I absolutely love the tree lined pathway. Just gorgeous 😍.
And there definitely needs to be a mechanic named Bob.
Thanks Edward! And OMG yes! We will 100% name the mechanic BOB! 😂
There is so much valuable information and tricks (especially with pathways) in this!! I’m loving this new series already!! ❤
Thanks David! ❤
very nice i like how u explain everything in detail for us newbies
loved the video... I just started playing the game and I really needed something like this video to get me even more hooked to it, thanks for that, you got a new subscriber
Phenomenal guide 🥰🥰 I’m so thankful!
Thank you! Glad it was useful!
Suggested names for the lizards - Lizardnardo Devinci (because he is creative); Lizzy Borden (because she likes axes); Sergeant Slitherscales; Queen Elizardbeth
Haha great names!! Thanks E.R.!
Thank you so much for teaching me the game, I was having a bunch of troubles before!
Glad this was helpful, thank you!
I just started this game. Watched the whole first episode. For me this game now is fun. Wouldnt be without your video. Im a slow learner, and your help is greatly appreciated. Like and sub
Ahh that's so lovely to hear, thank you. So glad you can enjoy the game, it really is super fun!
Can't wait until I can get my hands on this game. Reminds me so much of the original Zoo Tycoon 😊. Looking forward to a new series FewC 👍
Oh I loved the original zoo tycoon!! And this game is a really good upgrade! 😄
when you put the roof on the toilet I swear I could smell it :(
great first ep, very good pace Im looking forward to building a new zoo, steam has DLC on 50% off atm so I thought its a great time to come back.
I've was on the fence about buying Planet Zoo when I found this playlist and after a few videos purchased the game and multiple packs from your discount link. So wanted to say thanks for the easy to follow tips and beautiful Zoo inspiration as well as the discount :) Planning to restart the playlist and watch all the way through following along a bit.
An incredibly detailed yet simple tutorial. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much!
Ahh thank you! Glad it was useful!
Thank you so much for this series! 😀
I bought the game 2 days ago, and the learning curve is, to say the least Daunting!
I just finished the first video, but I am hooked into this series till the end.
Your presentation, and explanations are spot on and really informative. Thanks again for doing this!
Ahh thank you! Hope it continues to be useful for you!
This is awesome FewCandy, please keep going. While I wouldn't play cause I'm no good at these kinda games lol I love watching others play. You made it look so lovely
Oh and naming the lizards? I have three monitors and they’re called BenQEW327OU, BE249(1) and BE249(2)……. Rolls off the tongue nicely doesn’t it🤣
🤣🤣 Love it!! Thanks Arutha! 😄
Oooooh this is a fun change! I've never played Planet Zoo but had a shot at Planet Coaster before but I'm here for the ride, I think you're already convincing me to get it downloaded!
Yey! It's so fun to play! Glad you enjoyed it 😄
This is Awesome! I cannot wait for more.
I mean, you've got to have crocs and a keeper named Steve.
OMG Yes! When we get to crocs their keeper will definitely be named Steve! 😄
I just got this game and your video was really useful! I'm having a weird issue however
In one of my enclosures the animals keep getting stressed and complaining about needing to hide. They had enough hiding places and the enclosure wasn't overpopulated. After hours I gave up and raised all the walls and closed all openings so the visitors couldn't even look in and it kept having the same problem.
It's so weird because the other enclosures were 100% Chain-link and had no problems at all. I even took them out of the enclosure and sent them to quarantine and their stress wouldn't go down at all.
They were arvaks and I decided to sell them and get tortoises instead and put them in the same enclosure and had the exact same problem with them. It's just this one specific enclosure it seems.
Anyone knows what could be happening?
Woot! As always, great detail - my personal fav is the rubber duck, but the enclosure is great! Looking forward to this
You know when you are in Math class and you learn 2+2=4? And then in the test you get a question like: if Peter buys 2 apples and shares it with 17 people, 1/3 of which can't eat apples, while midair and if you don't account for gravity, what is the meaning of life?
That's how I felt at the end of this video with the detailing 😂 but amazing video, thanks for being awesome!
😂 This made me laugh so hard, I think that is Planet Zoo in a nutshell to every new player!! Thank you! I do go on to explain finer detailing tricks as we go through the series! 😅
