(DISCOUNTINUED AND NEW PAGE) PLANET ZOO PLUS

New Page:  PZPlus (ACSE)

Changes Made

- All animals require far less space than before, I tried to use guidelines from animal husbandry manuals for every species in the game, but still had them require some more space just so there is still some challenge there. This fixes weird things in the game like the Polar Bear's requirements.

- The Biggest Change: Rollercoasters. For the past month or so Leaf has been working on making rides in Planet Zoo more freeform, the rides in Planet Zoo are essentially just modified coasters from Planet Coaster, and Leaf made it so they act as such, but with even less restraints than in Planet Coaster, with loops and nearly uncapped speed, you can turn your boat rides into boat coasters.

- Plants for all. On top of making all animals accepting any amount of vegetation, multiple plants have had their continents and biomes expanded to places they occur in the real world. This means more plants for each animal and more appropriate vegetation for them too!

- Animal sizes have changed. For some species, such as the American Bison, Bactrian Camel, Indian Elephant, and Malayan Tapir, they have been increased in size as to fit their actual dimensions in real life. It seemed for animals like the camel the "shoulder height" given was actually what they used at the top of the humps, which was inaccurate

- The Camel. The Camel in the game is far more like the wild Bactrian Camel, which is a separate species from the domesticated one, AD and I made changes for both the biomes its in and the temperature it tolerates the same as a real world domesticated Bactrian would. We did not change the model or textures to make it look more like a domestic camel, but there may be something in the works for that soon enough.

- Guests will view your animals from further away and remain content with their view. This has the adverse affect of stressing out shy animals more often, but I have changed it so that shy animals, as well as all animals, take more to be stressed out. They can still be stressed out, but it takes much more to actually have this happen now. The intention of this was to make big open savannah parks or safari parks actually doable in game, now guests can look at your wildlife preserve and hopefully not be upset.

-  This mod uses the same information, with permission, as Doctor Hyena's African Animal remakes, as well as Nathan and AD's Malayan Tapir remaster. Just replace the Main.ovl files in those mods with the ones in here and you're good to go with bigger tapirs, accurate hyena offspring and sizes, and all the changes here.

- Adds "New" Props to the game - Zen Pebbles and Toxic Waste Barrels. These will not work the same as other new scenery mods, which when removed make games crash. When Planet Zoo Plus is removed, you can still load into maps just fine with no crashes whatsoev
