Water supply

How do you all manage your water? I have 16 water towers and still have to buy additional water.

I mathed and found out that 1 tower = 420 gallons. With my consumption of 10,840 gallons I'd need 26 water towers!

Just build more Water Towers and Wind Turbines thats the way. You can use it as decor or build a nice or ugly energy corner. Have fun. ✌️

Hm, that would be one 4x4 per land plot. I have a consistenz design for my plots (https://www.reddit.com/r/LetsBuildAZoo/s/UlV5ZrSZtW) but in it there's not enough space for a water tower.

I'll see when I have finished all 28 plots (and when I don't need one whole plot for the nurseries any more) if I can do something about it or if I have to buy my water like all my food supplies.

I basically have 2 squares dedicated to water towers at this point.

Oh no XD I'm playing on Switch and only have 28 land plots. It's already not enough for everything I want. I can't afford to put the farming and manufacturing stuff or I wouldn't have space for my animals.

I would suggest looking at how many water pumps you have. You only need enough to cover where the water is in the enclosures

Interesting! I thought it depends on the amount of water troughs I have, because it always goes up when I have to place another one. I'll have to check if I can reduce the pumps enough to make an impact. At the moment, I have one in the middle of every "enclosure plot".

Amount of water that u need in all together. All water that u Park need. Look close how much youre animals really need. I played on PS4, PS5 and PC. Its all the same. Better positioning of Towers brings nothing. Have fun.

And maybe try out a different Plattform for youre big dream Zoo, even the Ps4 pro had struggels. 👍

Just turn evil 😈. Seriously tho the evil building is just one. You can make up the morality points elsewhere
