PZPlus Paths Overview
Dedicated Null Paths for Guests, Queues, and Staff. Works for elevated and stairs (unlike the upcoming 1. 13 update). In Path Edit mode, hovering on null paths will expose a railing showing the segment. You can also see them by choosing another path and hovering. You can also see where null paths are hiding in your zoo by using the Terrain Stamp, which will show paths as a red area that can't be terraformed. It is recommended to use visible paths for planning and then convert to null for ease of building.

Disclaimers
This mod becomes a requirement for zoos using these paths, similar to prop mods. To stop using the mod, you will need to convert all the paths to vanilla ones. If you upload the zoo to Steam Workshop, you will need to mention the mod requirement.
Installation
Drag the folder in the zip file to Planet Zoo\win64\ovldata.
Uninstallation
Delete the HexPZPlusPaths folder in ovldata after following these directions:
Make sure that none of your zoos are using any of these paths. Make sure that your last used path in the UI is defaulting to a vanilla path toward the top of the paths list (e.g. Asphalt Light, Asphalt Dark). If you experience crashing after uninstalling the mod specifically when opening the Paths UI, you did not do this step and you will need to delete Game_remote.config.xml located at Saved Games\Frontier Developments\Planet Zoo\7656119802

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 427 endorsements and over 21k downloads.
- Null paths for staff and queues are a game-changer for realistic layouts.
- Regularly updated (last March 2023) — still relevant for current game versions.
⚠️ Cons
- No screenshots or detailed previews in the description — you'll have to test in-game.
- Only paths — no other building pieces, so it's a niche addition.
- Requires Planet Zoo base game; no mention of DLC compatibility.
For Planet Zoo builders who want more path variety and cleaner staff/guest routing. Skip if you're looking for new animals or gameplay mechanics — this is purely a construction tool.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place null paths under staff buildings to prevent guest clipping.
- Use the queue null paths to create custom queue lines without visible path textures.
- Test paths in sandbox mode first to see how they connect with existing paths.
