I hope you find use in it. If you notice an error or have a request regarding Zoopedia, I would be happy to hear from you. Of course, I'm always happy to receive a message. Just write to me using my contact form
At the moment this tool is under construction, but at this point some information for you, what you can expact soon. There will be two main functions. First the calculator / configurator and second the extended Zoopedia. Following features will be provided.
The calculator tool will provide you with the possibility to create enclosures for one animal or community enclosures for compatible animals. There you will be able to set several configuration, such as:
- one, all or selected continents
- one, all or selected biomes
- one, all or selected dlcs
- if you wish to keep both genders or only males or females for each selected animal
- which type of population density you wish for each selected animal
- if you wish to select only animals that benefit from each other
- which shape type of the enclosure you would like, including the barrier tile size
Based on this configuration your enclosure will be calculated and you will get following information:
- number of animals for each gender
- desired space requirements for all animals in this enclosure (including water, climbing space and deep water)
- required barrier grade and height, also if it needs to have climbing protection or one way mirror for very shy animal
- required terrain (short / long grass, sand, soil, rocks, snow)
- required planting
- required temperature
In future it is planned that you can configure different enclosures and plan your zoo. You will be able to drag and drop your build enclosures, so that you can plan, where they will be in your zoo. It is also planned that you can add exhibits, stuff and guest buildings and paths, so that you're able to plan your zoo in detail.
It will be possible to save your progress and resume your work later. This save file will be stored at your pc.
Please feel free to contact me and suggest more functions for this tool.
These are the results so far. The survey is still ongoing.
