📋 About This Mod

BARASINGHA

To install, extract the .zip file into the "ovldata" folder of your Planet Zoo installation. Do not change the mod folder name, this will cause it to crash!

(\steamapps\common\Planet Zoo\win64\ovldata)

This animal is based off of the European Fallow Deer, and will use that species' enrichment and food items.

NOTE: The 1. 20 update changes this mod's codename. Please remove the old mod folder (Singhaba) from your ovldata before installing this one.

This unfortunately also means that any Barasinghas currently present in savegames will be removed and need to be replaced.

I apologise for any inconvenience caused.

This mod requires ACSE.
