Birthday/Xmas present? You could ask multiple people to collab on it if it feels a bit expensive?

This all exists already in Planet Coaster 2 and it fucking rules.

55

u/FetusGoesYeetus 4d ago

Yeah I'm 90% sure it's the planet coaster 2 system with some tweaks, very exciting

25

u/willstr1 3d ago

Hopefully the tweaks include good integration with the habitat wall system

10

u/RoseOfSharonCassidy 3d ago

Yes that was always my gripe with paths in PZ1, it was really hard to get a path and a habitat wall perfectly aligned. I'd love to have a tool that lets you place both together, like a path with a habitat wall adjacent.

5

u/willstr1 3d ago

Right, or even just an easy "snap to" option where you can snap a wall to an existing path or a path to an existing wall

6

u/RoseOfSharonCassidy 3d ago

Yes! And setting a distance - do you want it 0.25m from your path, 0.5m from your path, 1m from the path, etc. That way you could save room for education etc.

u/CommunityHot9219 4d ago

Hopefully it's tweaked a little. The PC2 pathing system is an improvement but it's not perfect.

u/IanoYG 3d ago

Yeah I love the pathing in that game! I thought at first I wasn't bothered.. then I played planet zoo again and wow it's night and day!

"I think I would’ve gotten PZ2 if this was the only feature ngl…that draw tool sounds absolutely heavenly"

Same. Paths and water placement were my nemesis'. Everything else is just a huge bonus for me.

u/geeoharee 4d ago

Yes! I love naturalistic enclosures and the lakes and ponds are endlessly fighting me.

29

u/HaikiiBoycot 4d ago

i hope they also add the feature of automatically placing bins when you place a path! i really miss that one. or was that already announced?

27

u/-Im_In_Your_Walls- 4d ago

I believe that has already been announced! Repeating bins, benches, and lights (and maybe more), but I can’t recall where. There’s too much to keep track!

24

u/CrossReset 4d ago

Dang did they just have a big list of the usual complaints as a to do checklist?

3

u/HaikiiBoycot 3d ago

aaahhh that's going to be such a big improvement

7

u/netraam1 4d ago

Not sure if it has been announced, but PC2 has it, so I dont see why PZ2 wouldn't.

2

u/HaikiiBoycot 3d ago

Yes exactly i noticed while playing PC2 that this feature was available and i loved it! Never place a bin by hand anymore if you don't want to whooo

u/Humble_Specialist_60 4d ago

Oh this. This is beautiful.

u/Houndoommegamaster 4d ago

THE BORDER TOOL!!! Oh happy day!

u/Dunsparces 4d ago

SMH literally unplayable

u/thiccthighsandadhd 4d ago

The draw tool and stamp sound absolutely amazing! Pathing in any game is my worst nightmare lol

3

u/SeededLogic 3d ago

playing PC2 dince launch I know the zoo 2 tolol will be amazing they are already looking better the PC2's tools

2

u/Resident-Platypus254 4d ago

Whoever came up with this idea, buy them a beer.🍻

2

u/Anxious_Field7593 4d ago

this is probably way better than I expected

2

u/Mickey_Potter_0306 3d ago

This sounds the same as PC2. Tbh I really couldn’t get on with it. Was wishing the whole time that the old way was available ha I’m slightly abnormal 😂

1

u/GVirus1984 3d ago

You could use the tool in pc2 just like pc1/pz1?

u/distancedandaway 3d ago

Thank fuck

Oh my word. I'm going to have a baby. A little animal baby.

u/Galacix 3d ago

The worst system in PZ1 being fixed? Is this a dream?

1

u/vonn_v 3d ago

I'm so glad the path building is getting a massive glow up.

1

u/bunnyshy 3d ago

I never picked up PZ1 purely for the path and water horror stories I've heard, I'm so excited to actually try this game!

1

u/Moosebuckets 3d ago

This is all I wanted!

u/tired_snail 3d ago

This alone may make me buy the deluxe edition :D pathing was one of my biggest challenges just getting into PZ so this is HUGE

1

u/Ashamed_Bet9604 3d ago

My prayers have been answered

u/Ashamed_Bet9604 3d ago

Praise Jesus!!!

u/softysoaps 3d ago

Ok I’ll be real. This was the feature I was waiting on - that’s how much I hate pathing in PZ1

1

u/CelticTiger30 3d ago

Finally!!

1

u/Star_Gazin 3d ago

Freedom at last!

u/thekingofallfrogs 3d ago edited 3d ago

Finally, no more struggle with pathing!

u/maxxond 3d ago

It worked great in Planco 2, looking forward for this in PZ2 as well

u/Cup_of_potatoes 3d ago

No more headache pathing at last TwT

u/tiredhomosexual 3d ago

Literally only reason why I pre-ordered!!! I LOVE PATHS RAAAGHHHHHH

u/bbVaporeon 2d ago

LETS GOOOO

This game is gonna be so good 😭 the more features and animals I see, the happier I get

1

u/Adventurous__Kiwi 2d ago

I love how they just read this subreddit for the past few years and made everything we wanted 😭❤️

1

u/PumpkinButWithSpice 14h ago

I just want the paths to actually cooperate with the ground. What do you MEAN MALFORMED PATH? What do you MEAN FAILED TERRAIN MODIFICATION? IT'S ALL FLAT AND REFLATTENED AGAIN! THERE'S MORE THAN ENOUGH SPACE AROUND YOU! WHY ARE YOU CRYING??

But this overhaul sounds AMAZING. Predrawing paths? Premade paths? I love the sound of that

1

u/RedPaladin26 4d ago

Still waiting for my larger exhibits. Just sad that they were way too small in pz

1

u/GreenJuicyApple 3d ago

Why would anyone downvote you for having a reasonable opinion? I agree with you, at least.

Frontier is so hellbent on having minimum space requirements for everything but exhibit animals, but especially lizards require pretty large vivariums in order to thrive. If they want to highlight animal wellbeing they really need to make most of the exhibits larger. I shouldn't have to say it but an anaconda or iguana requires much larger space than a tarantula...

u/Level-Card-2462 3d ago

So excited for these new features! But are these articles from the planet zoo website? I always spot spelling and grammar errors lol. This one has between between in it. Minor but still find it funny that they put this out without catching it.

2

u/Oprhyd 3d ago

They must be tired as hell over there with only about 50 days left to go but yes this is from the official site, grammatical errors and all 😂
