Planet Zoo: Beginner’s Tips For Building From Scratch

Starting up in Planet Zoo can be intimidating. Here’s everything beginners need to know in order to get started with animals, shops, and staff.

We’ll break down each environment and what continents are included in the biome. This can help you determine the best course of action for your zoo, helping even more animals repopulate and spreading awareness of your conservation efforts.

All Biomes In Planet Zoo

When you want to start your own zoo, it’s important to pick your biome carefully. While environments in habitats can be adjusted to match an animal’s needs, you can reduce the amount of work needed to make them happy depending on the environment you choose.

Below are all the biomes available, including the countries you can pick to place your zoo in:

Biome Name	Continents Included	Qualities
Desert	Africa Asia Oceania North America South America	This is a moderately warm zoo, with temperatures often reaching extremes. While you won’t have to spend much on heating, keeping non-native animals cool can become expensive.
Grassland	Africa Asia Oceania Europe North America South America	This is a great beginner biome, as it finds the balance between terrains and temperature.
Tropical	Africa Asia Oceania North America South America	This biome is quite warm, but more adjustable for a variety of animals that need water in their habitats.
Temperate	Asia Oceania Europe North America	This is a great beginner biome because it finds a moderate balance for most animals.
Taiga	Asia Europe North America	Filled with coniferous trees, the taiga biome is a great climate for animals with lots of fur.
Tundra	Antarctic Asia Europe North America South America	The tundra is an incredibly cold biome, with temperatures almost always below freezing. Heating habitats and enclosures will be pricey.

Which Biome Is Best For A Zoo?

The best biome for your zoo varies depending on your choices. If you want a challenge, a more extreme biome is a good choice. If you’re just starting out, the grasslands or a temperate biome is a good choice.

A balanced biome will make temperature changes less extreme for many animals, allowing you to manage your zoo with more ease.

Remember that your guests prefer to see animals that aren’t common in their area. While the difference in donations isn’t significant, it’s worth keeping in mind–especially when the costs to keep the habitats comfortable for the animals will increase.

You can’t change the biome or continent once you’ve started your zoo, so choose carefully at the beginning for your best chance at success!

Overall, the decision is yours to make. If you have a preferred region or want to make a zoo similar to your favorite local one, then choose accordingly. The possibilities are endless!
