Animals & species

Care, habitats, welfare and what is still unknown.

01Animal care and welfareFrontier describes food, water, space, terrain, plants, social needs and enrichment as welfare requirements. Research can unlock the higher Thriving state. Species thresholds remain unverified.02Habitat design and requirementsStart with the animal’s published enclosure category: terrestrial habitat, flying habitat, aquarium or exhibit. Some fish have two categories. Match the enclosure type before planning space or services.03Aquariums and aquatic animalsAquatic animals use water volume, salinity and temperature requirements. Frontier describes configurable filters, aquarium staff gates and guest tunnels; exact species values remain unverified.04Aviaries and flying animalsFrontier describes an Add Roof control, adjustable supporting pillars, nesting sites and a Flyable Area readout. Each bird’s numerical requirements still need a game-build check.05Wildlife reserves and animal releaseWildlife Reserves combine habitat restoration, eligible release groups and research networks. Frontier describes cleaning ecosystems, filling animal roles and earning Conservation Credits through research.06Needs, enrichment and healthAnimal behaviour responds to surroundings and mood. Frontier describes routines, periodic responses, distractions and interruptions, plus group formations. Behaviour alone does not establish a welfare formula.07Genetics and breedingSome species have seasonal fertility; others can reproduce year-round. Welfare affects fertility, and release groups can impose genetic-diversity, longevity or fertility conditions. No inheritance calculator is verified.08Trading, adoption and releaseTrading and storage are managed through the Planet Hub within the current game mode. Wildlife Reserve releases use species-specific groups and eligibility rules.

Zoo systems

People, money, research and the daily operation.

01Staff, training and researchFrontier names Caretakers, Keepers, Mechanics, Vendors, Vets and Educators. Work Zones, wages, training and workload management are announced; staffing ratios remain unverified.02Guests, education and satisfactionGuests need services, rest, animal views and education. Frontier describes talks, boards, speakers, webcams and tours; poor animal welfare can upset visitors and attract protesters.03Facilities, shops and servicesBuild support around the functions your animals and visitors need. Frontier has described aquarium water equipment and Wildlife Reserve research equipment; exact prices and capacities are still unknown.04Research and unlocksVets conduct research, and Wildlife Reserves unlock higher species research. Research supports new care options, Thriving and release opportunities. Exact progression values are not verified.05Finance, conservation and expansionCash supports zoo construction and operation; Frontier also describes loans, marketing and Conservation Credits. The budget tool uses your inputs because prices and return formulas are not verified.06Scenarios and progressionScenario coverage that never fabricates a mission.

Building & park

Shape the park, move guests and build with intent.

01Construction, scenery and blueprintsPlanet Zoo 2 adds path drawing and stamps, nature brushes, scenery scaling and mirroring, and integrated Frontier Workshop blueprints. These are announced tools; exact limits remain untested.02Terrain, water and habitat shapingFrontier describes sculpting, stamps, terrain paint and nature brushes. Aquarium water conditions use filters and gate controls. Seasonal temperatures also affect animal care.03Paths, transport and visitor flowFrontier describes Line and Curve Builder, Draw Tool, Stamp Builder and Border Edit for paths and plazas. Aquarium tunnels are also announced. A complete transport-ride roster is not verified.

03 / Keep the unknown visible

What still needs
verifying.

Unverified features live here instead of being turned into confident-sounding guesses. That makes launch-day work faster—and the guide more trustworthy.
