Analysis View Modes
Planet Zoo provides a selection of view modes to help with the management of the zoo. They can be accessed by selecting the Analysis View Mode.
For convenience some are also triggered when performing in game actions such as placing power facilities.
Animal Welfare View
This mode colour codes every animal in the zoo based on its overall welfare value as shown on the Animal Info Panel. Red indicates low welfare while green indicates high welfare.
Crime
Not all of the guests in a zoo are well behaved!
Vandals
Some guests turn to vandalism when they are unhappy or unsatisfied with the zoo. Vandalism can affect the following items:
- Bathrooms
- Bins
- Benches
- ATMs
- Power systems
- Water treatment facilities
- Signs
- Speakers
Damaged items can be replaced or repaired by a mechanic. Beyond stopping the item from working, vandalised items will make nearby guests unhappy.
Research
Vet Research
Vets can conduct research into any species currently inhabiting the zoo. To undertake this research, the vet requires a functioning research centre and access to the habitat containing the species to be researched. Vets are assigned to research in the Vet Research page by selecting a vet, then selecting a research topic.
Vets must be available for research and only one vet can be assigned to a given topic at any given time.
Finances
Successfully managing your finances is key in Planet Zoo. You’ll need to have a steady influx of both cash and conservation credits if you want to grow your zoo and keep it afloat.
