In this Planet Zoo Shelters Guide, we will guide you on everything that you need to know about shelters in Planet Zoo. Frontier Developments has done another stellar job and released the brilliant zoo management game Planet Zoo. It is easily one of the best zoo management games currently available. Since you will be looking after your animals, one of the most important requirements to keep the animals happy is to provide them with shelters.
Planet Zoo comes with its own default shelters to build for your animals however it is a zoo simulation game and comes with various items and tools that you can use for your own benefit and create your own custom shelters in the game. Despite the fact that the items might not be generally put in place for constructing shelters, the game actually allows you to build custom shelters and also acknowledges them as shelters.
Shelters Guide – Planet Zoo
Our Planet Zoo Shelters Guide details everything that you need to know about default and custom shelters in Planet Zoo.
Default Shelters
These are the default shelters that come with the base game. At this point, there are three default shelters available in the game. They are essentially the same shelter but of different sizes. You will need to purchase and place one depending on the size of the animal. If you click on the animal and then choose their Habitat requirement, it will show you everything they want in their shelter.
The default shelters will basically provide everything that your animals need. In the future, more shelter types might arrive in the form of DLC. As long as these shelters are well-maintained and kept clean, you will not need to do anything about them. However, these are also the ugliest shelters in the game and do not look very good when you put them in the exhibits.
Custom Shelters
By default, there is no way to import custom shelters into the game. However, Planet Zoo comes with a terrain builder and a lot of other zoo items that you can combine together to form custom shelters for your animals that both look good and provide shelter to your animals at the same time. To build custom shelters, you can combine rocks together and form a cave that will act as a shelter for lions and so.
You can also combine wooden pieces such as walls, roofs, viewing points together to form shelters as well. You can arrange them in an order which forms a solid structure and you can easily use them as shelters. They also look better. You can also use the terrain editor to create natural shelters such as caves right on the ground by lifting some ground over another patch of ground. Using these cool tactics, you can create shelters in no time.
