Planner · Published animal catalog plus your own measured dimensions
Habitat planner
Turn your measured habitat into area, airspace and perimeter, and keep a per-species requirement checklist you save.
Your next habitat, worked out.
Compare your dimensions with the requirements shown in your game.

0/6Where the planner’s answers come from
Animal names and enclosure categories come from Frontier’s published Zoopedia. Numeric requirements can come from Frontier’s published default planning population or your own game panels. A default is not scaled when you change animal count. We do not fill gaps with values from the original Planet Zoo.
Area = length × width. Rectangular volume = area × height or depth. Boundary perimeter = 2 × (length + width). Requirements are for each entered group; changing its population clears the old requirement. A rectangular volume is a planning estimate, not the game’s usable swimming or flight space.
The checklist is editorial guidance. A passing space check is one condition, not a complete welfare or compatibility verdict.

Formula, data version and scope
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Formula | Area = length × width (m²) · Airspace = length × width × height (m³) · Perimeter = 2 × (length + width) · Requirements are checklist items you enter from in-game panels. |
| Data version | Published animal catalog plus your own measured dimensions |
| Source scope | Animal categories come from the shared sourced catalog. Dimensions and build/platform/mode notes are entered by you. |
| Assumptions | Dimensions are metric metres as the game reports them. · The five requirement families (boundary, space, environment, needs, access) are editorial categories, not game rules. · Rectangular volume is an estimate; the game’s usable swimming or flying space can differ. |
| Unsupported | Publisher defaults describe the stated planning population; there is no automatic population scaling. · Barrier strength and height are not compared by this planner. · No recommendation whether a species is suitable — the tool never decides. · Terrain slope and usable-area corrections are not modeled. · No automated salinity, temperature or compatibility check. |
What do the evidence labels mean?
Confirmed: Directly supported by an official source captured for this edition, or a statement about the wiki’s own editorial method. Announced: Stated by an official source; the detailed implementation is not yet verified. Observed: First-hand gameplay observation; not recreated or tested by this wiki. Reported: Provided through a brief or secondary channel; not yet independently rechecked against an official source. Inferred: A reasonable reading of an official statement; not stated outright and not guaranteed. Unresolved: No verifiable evidence exists yet. Published as an open question. Outdated: Superseded by a newer statement or from an earlier edition.
