Planet Zoo - Update 1.11.2 - Happy Birthday Planet Zoo!

Planet Zoo - JensErik_Frontier

Hayo Zookeepers,

Wippi Abbonibo (or Happy Anniversary in English)! This weekend marks the 3rd Anniversary of Planet Zoo, so we're celebrating by providing you with some exciting new things for you to enjoy in Planet Zoo 👀🎉

Free update 1.11.2, featuring the brand new Anniversary content is available right now (just update your game!) and will include some fun additions to help you celebrate our third birthday in style! We've also got a few exciting things going on outside of the game itself, so without further ado, let's take a closer look at what's going on for this year's Planet Zoo Anniversary!

First up, we've got a brand new friend to introduce you to - meet the Red Deer, which will shortly be available to add to your zoos!

The Red Deer is one of the largest deer species, inhabiting most of Europe along with Northern Africa and West Asia, and is widespread enough to be considered Least Concern status. We're really excited to see the kinds of habitats you create for them in your zoos!

Of course, it wouldn't be an Anniversary celebration without one very important feature - animal balloons! With this free update, your guests will now be able to hold one of four animal balloons: a Tiger, Giraffe, Chimpanzee, or Red Panda! This will be a permanent addition to the game, which we're sure your guests will love!

Finally in the way of in-game content, we have a limited-time celebration happening in-game this weekend: there will be a special Community Challenge from 4th-6th November! In this special event, you'll receive a boosted animal that has an 80%+ in any gene in return for every 5 you release (with a 1 in 50 chance of having Piebald or leucistic colouring!), and will gain a complete Avatar outfit for every 20 animals released - so both you and your animals will be looking your best! Speaking of which...

The time has come, Zookeepers - the moment you've all been waiting for! Very shortly, you'll be able to purchase your very own Planet Zoo Merch to celebrate the third year of simulation running wild! Planet Zoo t-shirts, hoodies, sweatshirts, mugs, posters and more will be available to buy from the official Planet Zoo store - so you can celebrate our third Anniversary in style. Slip into a super comfortable Paws and Leaves sweatshirt, sip from an exclusive habitat mug, or grab a deskpad branded with gorgeous art from the game. Pick your favourite animal and show your love for nature with these cute and colourful designs and products. Find the store itself here.

Last but not least, what's a good party without a little music? 'You, Me & Other Habitats', a selection of 12 tracks from Planet Zoo and its packs will take you for a trip around the world and will be available to stream from today across your favourite streaming services. You can find it on Spotify here.

Thank you all so much for being such an amazing community, Planet Zoo wouldn't be the incredible place it is without all of YOU!

Last, but certainly not least, don't forget to join us later today for a celebratory Anniversary Livestream, on Twitch or YouTube where we'll have special guests RudiRennkamel, PlasticSwans, and ZWED, IN THE STUDIO! We'll be talking Planet Zoo, checking out the new content, doing giveaways, and more! We'll see you there (green heart emoji)

Planet Zoo: Twilight Pack and Update 1.11 Out Now! 🦇

Planet Zoo - JensErik_Frontier

Hayo Zookeepers!

It's time to discover what happens when the sun sets, with the Planet Zoo: Twilight Pack and free Update 1.11, both out now! You can grab the pack on Steam, and update your game to be able to enjoy the free content!

Meet your curious new residents: five cunning animals including the Raccoon, Common Wombat, Red Fox, Striped Skunk, and you'll also see the Egyptian Fruit Bat soar!

The brand new Planet Zoo: Twilight Pack will also allow you to create a truly thrilling zoo with more than 200 scenery pieces inspired by gothic architecture and spooky celebrations. Enjoy haunted décor and creepy elements like spider web benches, carved pump jack-o'-lanterns, and even a spooky cauldron to help make your zoo as atmospheric as possible. Of course, we haven't forgotten some fall flora, so you'll also be able to incorporate Ivy, Foxgloves, and even piles of scattered leaves to add to the ambiance.

Finally, the Twilight Pack will also bring you a brand new Campaign Scenario, the first one since the Arctic Pack! Dominic Myers has abandoned a Transylvanian zoo in a state of complete disrepair, and Nancy is going to need your help to fix it up. You'll also have to contend with the needs of an in-world-famous Himalayan Bear, which guests are flocking to in droves - with the spotlight on you, you will need to make sure the Bear is getting everything they need. We're sure you're up to the task!

The Planet Zoo: Twilight Pack is available now on Steam for £7.99 ($9.99, 9.99€)

You must have the base Planet Zoo game to be able to play this content. Update 1.11 is out now to install and is free for all players.

Update 1.11 is free and available to all players who own the base Planet Zoo game! Simply update your game now to play.

This free Update has some exciting new features, including Educator Exhibit Demonstrations, Customisable Exhibit Backdrops, New Biome Skirts, a New Animal Behaviour allowing large escaped animals to attack bins and rummage for food, and the addition of Sounds of Summer to your in-game Speakers. You can read more about the free update in the announcement post, but we'll share a selection of highlights for you here, too.

Your guests will be able to get closer to exhibit animals than ever before with new Educator Exhibit Demonstrations, where your Educators can take out exhibit animals and hold them during Educator Talks to give your guests demonstrations. This will be available for a wide range of species and there are different ways your Educators may hold them, so we hope you enjoy seeing how your favourites are included in Talks. Not all species are included as some are either too large or unsafe to handle (so animals such as the Common Death Adder or Golden Poison Frog will have to stay in their exhibit at a safe distance!).

Customisable Exhibit Backdrops are also now available for your Zoo, so that you can use any image you'd like as a 2D backdrop for exhibits. This means you can incorporate theming and customise exhibits like never before - we can't wait to see what you do with this new feature.

Speaking of customisation...Update 1.11 also brings with it 12 New Biome Skirts and 1 Reskin Design, which will provide more variation to your zoo maps, and allow for more diverse landscapes for your zoos.

Some of your animals will also exhibit a new behaviour upon escaping their habitats - attacking bins! If a large enough animal escapes their habitat, they'll knock over bins around your zoo and begin eating the contents...yuck! Luckily, as the contents of your bin will be leftover food from your guests, your animals won't get sick from this new behaviour. This will impact the quality of their last meal, though, so they might be a little unhappy until they're returned to their habitat and given access to fresh food more in keeping with their needs.

If you joined us for the Sounds of Summer launch stream, or have managed to enjoy the album on YouTube since, we've got a treat for you! You'll now be able to use these tracks on your in-game speakers, bringing the chilled lo-fi vibes to your zoo and giving your guests (and you!) the perfect soundtrack to say goodbye to summer with.

There are lots more features included in Update 1.11, including new Piebald variants of some species, exhibit camera improvements, a ramp terrain stamp, and more! For more information, read the Update 1.11 announcement post, or check out the full Update Notes, below!

We can't wait to see what you create with the Planet Zoo: Twilight Pack and the new features in Update 1.11! Don't forget to join us for a launch livestream later today, on Twitch or YouTube.

New Content - Free Update 1.11.0

NEW - Automated Exhibit Population Management
- We have added a new mechanism by which you can delegate repeat population management in exhibits.
- Animal populations in exhibits can now be managed automatically in accordance to user-defined rule sets. For both male and female animals in the exhibit, set the following rules:
  - Max. number of animals
  - Processing options:
    - Store in Trade Centre
    - Sell for Cash
    - Release to Wild
  - Removal Priority:
    - Age
    - Genetic Appeal
    - Cash Value
    - Conservation Credit Value
    - and select whether the above rule is prioritised by the Highest or Lowest value
  - Exemptions:
    - A list of all animals in the exhibit allows you to set an animal as exempt from the rules. Have an animal you really wish to keep? Fret not, if you exempt it the population management will skip it and remove the next best fitting animal for the rules, so your friends are safe and sound in their exhibit homes.
NEW - Piebald Colourmorph Gene
- Piebaldism describes patterns of unpigmentes areas across an animal's skin or coat, resulting in really unique-looking patterns. This rare genetic expression is now available to the following species in Planet Zoo:
  - Nyala
  - Pronghorn Antelope
  - Springbok
  - Red Fox
- Like other morphs, piebaldism is inherited recessively.
- On animals that can exhibit morphs other than leucism/albinism, piebaldism may be expressed additively - so keep an eye out for colourful combinations!
NEW - Educator Exhibit Demonstrations
- Educators are now able to hold and showcase exhibit animals to guests during an animal talk about an exhibit species
- These animations are available to all species that aren't too large or unsafe to handle (so animals such as the Common Death Adder or Golden Poison Frog will have to stay in their exhibit at a safe distance!). Animals that can be held are:
  - Giant Burrowing Cockroach
  - Titan Beetle
  - Goliath Beetle
  - Giant Forest Scorpion
  - Giant Tiger Land Snail
  - Goliath Frog
  - Goliath Birdeater
  - Brazilian Salmon Pink Tarantula
  - Lehmann's Poisong Frog
  - Mexican Red Knee Tarantula
  - Giant Desert Hairy Scorpion
  - Eastern Blue Tongued Lizard
  - Diamondback Terrapin
  - Giant Leaf Insect
  - Dung Beetle
  - American Bullfrog
  - Fire Salamander
  - Danube Crested Newt
  - Axolotl
- Depending on the species, educators hold the animals with one or both hands, or have them rest on their shoulder
- Alongside this, Animal Talk Points now display an image on their base of the animal that is being spoken about to make it easier for you to know what's happening at a glance
NEW - Custom Exhibit Facades
- Exhibit backdrops can now be customised with your own images for greater variety
- Add your static images to the custom media folder in order to use them with the exhibits: Documents\Frontier Developments\Planet Zoo\UserMedia
- Custom facades should follow an aspect ratio of 1024 x 815 and can use any of the following extensions: .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .bmp, .tiff, or .tga
NEW - Improved Exhibit Cameras
- Exhibits have received an overhaul of their camera functionality. Selecting the camera button at the bottom of an exhibit's info panel now gives you the option to either view one of the exhibit's interior cameras, or get really close to the individual exhibit animals using their orbit camera
- As with other cameras, the camera mode UI while in either the interior or orbit camera mode allow you to cycle through all available interior cameras of the facility or orbit cameras for all animals inside the exhibit
NEW - Walkthrough Exhibit
- Walkthrough Exhibits feature a built-in path through its length that can be customised, while the interior space automatically changes to the species' associated base when added. It can also be further customised with scenery objects
- These exhibits don't feature classic facades. Instead, all walls, floor, and ceiling of a Walkthrough Exhibit can be customised by setting the material to one of a selection of solid, wire mesh, glass or even nothing at all. Additionally, built-in doors around the path can be toggled on or off.
- Walkthrough Exhibits will feel familiar, as they function the same as the existing Exhibits. When adding your animals, you will need to ensure to set the correct temperature for them, and research the species to access and toggle all three levels of enrichment to keep them happy.

General Bug Fixes and Improvements

Animals
- When they are escaping, animals now exhibit more diverse behaviours other than running around:
  - They may choose to take a run and explore the zoo, or take a rest watching the chaos around them unfold
  - Some of the hungrier animals may also see what your guest have left in the bins you've provided all around the zoo and knock them over!
  - We recommend sending your vets to capture escapees as soon as possible, both to avoid guests from running away and stopping animals from ingesting too much unsuitable food!
- Added new small dung assets for certain small animals
- Added Temperate biome icon to the California Sea Lion education board
- Added Tundra and Temperate biome icons to the Grey Seal Education board
- Added Grasslands biome icon to the Giant Otter Education board

- Added Taiga biome for the Polar Bear Education board

- Fixed animals climbing through the air when dismounting from a climbing frame

Update 1.11 coming to Planet Zoo, 18th of October

Planet Zoo - JensErik_Frontier

Hayo Zookeepers,

The sun has set on summer once again and with it come some Planet Zoo news! We hope you enjoyed the announcement of Sounds of Summer, a musical experience of 12 chill-hop tracks to enjoy for all the lo-fi fans out there. If you missed it then fret not, you can find all the information you need here.

However, that's not all! Introducing the 1.11 free update which will be making its way to you on 18 October. Keep on reading below to see what you can look forward to!

Educator Exhibit Demonstrations
Ever wanted to get up close and personal with your exhibit animals? Well, now you can - or your guests can, at least!

As of Update 1.11, Educators will be able to take exhibit animals out and hold them for display and demonstration when giving talks to guests. This will be available for a wide variety of species but not all, as very large, dangerous and/or unsafe species will not be included (such as the Common Death Adder and the Golden Poison Frog). After all, we want to keep both your Educators and guests safe!

During Talks, an Educator will proceed to showcase them to guests, before resuming the talk as normal. Educators will either hold them one-handed, two-handed, or on their shoulder depending on species, so play around and see how your favourites are held!

Alongside this, Animal Talk Points will now display an image on their base of the animal that is being spoken about to make it easier for you to know what's happening at a glance.

Customisable Exhibit Backdrops
Your Exhibits are getting another upgrade too with the addition of customisable 2D backdrops! Now you can change the background image of your Exhibits to anything you want, allowing you to personalise and theme your Exhibits in an entirely new way! Do you have a themed area of your Zoo that you want to add a design for? Or maybe you just want to feature your own pictures from your favourite Zoo trips - anything is possible! We can't wait to see what designs you come up with.

As a default option, all of the 4 current 2D facades will be available to use on any exhibit so you can change their theming to suit the area instead of the species if so desired.

Exhibit Population Management
Thought that was all? Nope! Exhibits are getting a management upgrade with the new Population Management Tab.

We know the rate at which Exhibit animals reproduce can be....quite fast! So now you will be able to automatically handle the overpopulation of your exhibits. With the ability to set different rules for the males and females of the species, you'll be able to ensure your Exhibits are properly maintained. Set your max population count for each, your priority filters (such as if they should be removed by oldest first), and then decide what to do with the excess - put them in storage, sell them, or release them to the wild.

If you have friends in your Exhibits that you're worried about, don't fret! You can set custom exemptions on specific animals that will override your management filters, so your favourite animals are safe and sound.

Exhibit Camera Improvements
Last, but certainly not least, your Exhibit Cameras are getting an upgrade.

The Interior Camera has been improved to allow you a better view of inside your Exhibits, and you can get up close and personal with your animals with the all-new Orbit mode. This will be familiar as it works similarly to the Habitat Camera and will lock on and track whichever animal is selected.

New Biome Skirts
Your maps are getting an upgrade too with a set of brand new biome skirts!

Create a new look for your zoos with 12 new biome skirts and 1 reskin design to allow you even more variation when determining the look of your landscape.

Ramp Terrain Stamp
To allow you even more terrain variation (and an easier time producing it!) we're also introducing a brand new Ramp Terrain Stamp!

This terrain modification tool will allow you to easily create ramps, both as upward hills, and downward slopes. With the ability to customise the length, width, and slope of the ramp, it'll be easier than ever before to customise your layout - and easier to create inclined paths!

Piebald
Piebaldism describes patterns of unpigmented spots across an animal's skin or coat, resulting in some really unique-looking variants. This rare genetic expression is added as a new colourmorph to some species in Planet Zoo. As of Update 1.11, you'll be able to discover and enjoy this look on your Nyala, Pronghorn Antelope and Springbok!

New Animal Behaviour - Escapes!
Escaped animals will now get up to even more mischief, with a range of new behaviours that will diversify the way escaped animals act. For example, escaped animals will now have the ability to attack bins! If an animal of large enough size escapes, they will proceed to knock over bins they come across and eat the garbage inside - ick! Don't worry though, as the trash is just food waste left by guests, it won't cause a disease risk to your animals. However, it still isn't healthy for your animals and will impact the quality of their last meal. Make sure to quickly return them to their enclosures and provide them with a safe and healthy snack from the comfort of their habitat.

Sounds of Summer - Speaker Upgrade
We're continuing the celebration of Sounds of Summer by bringing it to your Zoos! As of Update 1.11, you'll be able to play any of the tracks from Sounds of Summer through your in-game Speakers. Allow your guests to relax with 12 new chill-hop tracks inspired by the Planet Zoo soundtrack, and enjoy a lo-fi experience as you kick back and relax and build your Zoo.

That's not all! From today you will be able to find Sounds of Summer on multiple streaming services! Just search for "Planet Zoo: Sounds of Summer" and enjoy. You can find it in places including, but not limited to:

To our very talented Planet Zoo content creators, you'll be delighted to know that these tracks are also entirely DMCA-free, so you can use every single track on your Planet Zoo livestreams and YouTube videos without worrying about content strikes. (Make sure it’s Planet Zoo though!)

For full information on Sounds of Summer and to listen to all of the tracks, head on over to this post.

On top of all of this, Update 1.11 will come with various bug fixes and improvements as always. You'll be able to read these in full in the patch notes upon release on 18 October.

Lastly, tune in later today for a special livestream on our Twitch and Youtube with some of the CM team! We'll be going live at 17:00 BST, don't miss out!

Never miss any Planet Zoo news by keeping up on our social media. You can find us on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. We also have our usual community streams every Tuesday at 17:00 BST on Youtube and Twitch.

Planet Zoo: Conservation Pack and Update 1.10 Out Now!

Planet Zoo - Frontier Developments

Hayo Zookeepers!

Learn more than ever before in Planet Zoo with the new Planet Zoo: Conservation Pack and free Update 1.10, both officially out now! Grab the pack now on Steam, and update your game to enjoy the free content ✨

The Conservation Pack brings 4 new habitat animals and 1 new exhibit animal from around the world to your zoos, all with a conservation status of Endangered or below. Embrace the majesty of Przewalski's Horse, spot the Amur Leopard as it enjoys its solitude, swing to your heart's content with the Siamang, and bask in the sun with the Scimitar-Horned Oryx. Your guests can also embrace adorableness with the new exhibit animal, the Axolotl!

Create the eco-positive zoo of your dreams with over 150 new scenery items! Enjoy a range of new foliage items including assorted meadow flowers, such as Buttercups and Oxeye Daisies, as well as Sunflowers, Tomato Plants, and Fig Trees - your zoo will have never looked more green! That's not the only way it can be green, as there's also a whole bunch of new eco-friendly scenery items such as a 3D Printed Concrete wall set. Capture the hard work that goes into conservation around your zoos with new backstage prop items, such as a rake, hose, and wheelbarrow! Please note that these items are decorative scenery only.

Lastly, join us over at Turtle Rock Wildlife Orphanage in our new Timed Scenario! Inspired by the Gorkhi Terelj National Park in Mongolia, you'll be tasked with rescuing, rehabilitating, documenting, and releasing as many species as possible. Not only that, but you'll also have to keep it green by only using renewable energy sources, and ensure that your Zoo has a high education rating throughout! It's quite the task, but we know you're up to it!

The Planet Zoo: Conservation Pack is available now on Steam for £7.99 ($9.99, 9.99€)

You must have the base Planet Zoo game to be able to play this content. Update 1.10 is out now to install and is free for all players.

Update 1.10 is free and available to all players who own the base Planet Zoo game! Simply update your game now to play.

You'll find lots of new exciting features in this update such as new Education Stations, new guest behaviours and even new animal behaviours! For full information on what you can find, check out the 1.10 announcement post, or continue reading for a summary!

Love learning? Your guests do too, and now they can learn at your Zoo's like never before with new Education Stations! These Stations are a set of new items that child guests can engage with, allowing them to gain a small happiness and education boost. Your adult guests get a new behaviour too, with the addition of Group Photos! Guests will now line up and pose as small groups, while another guest takes a photo, allowing them to capture the happy memories they've made in your Zoo, and to make your Zoo feel more alive than ever before.

Animals also gain new things to do with the addition of Sniffing and Chorus Behaviours! A range of animals throughout both the base game and Planet Zoo Packs will now be able to perform sniff interactions around their habitats, exploring and engaging with them in more realistic ways. Furthermore, the Arctic and Timber Wolves, alongside the new Siamang from the Conservation Pack, can now partake in a Chorus Call - a vocal "singing" behaviour performed in groups. They'll even continue it while wading or climbing!

The Siamang can also display an exciting new behaviour with the addition of a modular Climbing Frame. This item will allow the Siamang to perform its famous brachiation activity; which means they will be swinging freely around the frame. All other animals that are capable of climbing on thin frames will also be able to use this as a new standard climbing enrichment.

There's a range of other additions too including new Small Habitat Gates, and the completed roster of Shop Counters and Small Signs. For full information on all included, check out the 1.10 announcement and the Update Notes below.

Let all of these new additions shine with NVIDIA's GeForceNOW service, which gives you instant access to GeForce PC performance on nearly any PC, Mac, SHIELD TV, Android, iOS device or Chromebook without any downloads! This will let anyone experience the new Planet Zoo: Conservation Pack as well as Update 1.10, no matter what device they're on!

As always, a huge thank you to our incredible PlanZo fam for your love and enthusiasm as we've prepared for this release! We've had a wonderful time learning all about the importance of conservation, and we hope you have too. Keep an eye on our social channels for future news and announcements, as well as more conservation facts and more brilliant community builds - we can't wait to see what you make! If you create something you'd like us to consider sharing, please make sure it's uploaded to the Steam Workshop with the best photos possible and, if you share them on social media, be sure to tag us so we can take a look!

Join us today for a special launch stream at 13:30 BST over on Twitch and YouTube!

New Content - Free Update 1.10.0

NEW - Education Stations
- Education Stations are a new way for guests in your zoo to interact with educational content. Guest groups with children can interact with these assets for a small boost to their happiness, education, and the zoo's overall education rating.
- Three types of Education Stations are available via the Facilities > Media Devices and Education menu
  - Sound Education Station: A customisable sound board which allows guests to listen to an animal sound, before the image of the animal is revealed. Can you guess who you just heard howling? Both the image and sound can be customised by adding custom images and audio files to the game in the same way billboards and speakers can be customised
  - Height Education Station: An educational measuring station for guests to compare their height to that of an animal. Height Education Stations come in two variations: Giraffe and Gorilla
  - Pawprint Education Station: An educational station that lets guests compare their own hands to animal paws and feet.
NEW - Animal Chorus
- The new chorus behaviour is available to the following animals:
  - Siamang
  - Timber Wolf
  - Arctic Wolf
- Animals engaging in chorus behaviours have a chance to begin a chorus if they are currently idle and are within range of other members of the same species. Other idle animals in range of the chorus leader can be influenced by their action and decide to join in.
- During a chorus, the leader will perform calls, which will be answered by other participants. The amount of calls and overall length of a chorus event depends on the species.
NEW - Brachiation
- A new enrichment and climbing set, the Metal Climbing Frames, have been added to the base game of Planet Zoo, available to all players:
  - Metal Climbing Frame Beam
  - Metal Climbing Frame Ramp
  - Metal Climbing Frame Curve 180°
  - Metal Climbing Frame Curve 90°
  - Metal Climbing Frame Extension
- This modular set of climbing assets is used by the Conservation Pack's Siamang for their exciting new brachiation behaviour, allowing these gibbons to swing freely across your custom built frames in their habitat
- All animals who can navigate thin climbing pieces will also be able to climb across the Metal Climbing Frames using climbing locomotion
NEW - Sniff behaviours
- Animals will now engage with changes in their habitat by investigating new objects or areas other animals have slept and left their scent in. When animals are idle, they will navigate to the most recently chosen point of interest and perform a sniffing animation:
  - When a new object (such as a new piece of foliage or a new enrichment item) has been placed inside a habitat, animals have a chance to want to sniff and explore this new addition
  - Animals will also leave a scent in spots they have slept in, which can dynamically generate a new point of interest other animals will want to check out
- The chance of an animal expressing interest in such a change in their environment differs by species, with some being more inquisitive than others
- Sniff behaviours are available to the majority of all species in Planet Zoo except for the following:
  - Aardvark
  - Aldabra Giant Tortoise
  - Chinese Pangolin
  - Galapagos Giant Tortoise
  - Gharial
  - Greater Flamingo
  - Hippopotamus
  - Indian Peafowl
  - Indian Rhinoceros
  - Nile Monitor

  - Cuvier's Dwarf Caiman
  - African Penguin
  - Southern White Rhinoceros
  - American Alligator
  - California Sea Lion
  - Platypus
  - Red Crowned Crane
  - Spectacled Caiman
NEW - Guests group photos
- Guests groups can now take pictures of themselves while viewing a habitat, as long as they're above 50% happiness.
- One guest will act as the photographer and move ahead of their friends, snapping a picture of all the others having a great time.
NEW - More Conservation Topics
- Four new conservation topics have been added to the conservation board, providing education about:
  - Ecological Restoration
  - Invasive Species
  - Overexploitation
  - Species Reintroduction

The team is hard at work to resolve this and in the meantime the Siamangs will still brachiate along individual sections of the frame. We’ll share more information over the coming days on when this fix will be available. Thank you for your patience!
