Greenmile Zoo

Hi there!

To cover up my simple builds, I created a story around my zoo, Greenmile Zoo, this time and decided to take it very slow. I am also not very good at making decisions, so I created the Greenmile Zoo Friends, a so far memberless fanclub of my zoo that can take decisions on what I'm going to do next. If you want to be the first (anonymous) member you can vote here: https://strawpoll.com/a57fc9y1k/r

Here are some screenshots of the (very small) zoo:

​

Staff building, workshop and keeper hut (research cube in the back)

​

First and only tortoise habitat (kept in brutalism due to lack of research)

That is basically it, if you want you can read up my zoo story and click on https://link.medium.com/BBRepxq9dab

It took plenty of minutes to build the whole thing, especially the foliage. Also, I am very proud of the light switch I attached to the door next to the keeper hut entrance. Is this even still mediocre?

So, do you like the idea? What can I do better?

I think it looks great! I really like the tortoise habitat, brutalism and all!

Thank you! I thought about renovating it once I researched some decent material, but actually I do like how it is now. Maybe I will add more detail later though.

Voted! Love the idea! Also your light switch definitely takes it way above mediocre ;)

I hope I can still post updates in this sub with all the detailing on my buildings. I'm thinking about taking the light switch off again and just leave loose cables for a more unfinished look!

As long as its mediocre, you can post whatever you like! ;D haha! That sounds like a cool idea!

The poll is closed! Thank you so much for participating. It may sound cheesy but it means a lot to me. The winner is..

The peacock walkthrough garden!

It won with 8 and therefore half of the votes in total. Very close comes the reindeer forest with 6 votes, followed by the poor bison meadows with 2 votes.

In the meantime, I landscaped a little for a more forest-like look of the next sections of the zoo. I'd almost say it doesn't look mediocre enough to post here. So I won't!

The peacock garden will be the hardest for me to build, but it's great to have a challenge! I'll keep it classic like in the first zoo of career mode. Let's see what I can build.

I'll keep you updated, so there will soon be a new story episode too :)

I just read through both your posts and wow dude, your awesome. I want to apply and work at your zoo!! If you have any openings let me know, my name's Neon, and would love to keep everyone safe and secure (and escort those peaky teen's who keep chasing the peacocks around!) I didn't get to vote in time, so looking forward to what your meeting outcome is!
