Yes, both my local zoos have Merry-go-rounds, but I'm not able to build one from scratch, and there aren't many (if any) models out there already. Plus, there would be no way I could get it to work |

Here's a great suggestion, you could try making a boat load of indoor furnishings. Couches, book shelves books to go on them, pool tables,house hold refrigerators, washing machines, electric stoves or desks for offices, fancy wood carved wardrobes, bathtubs, the list is endless for what you could make! That in combination with sophie's building sets, I could build an entire neighborhood In zt2!

I tend to spend more time working on items that would actually be used in a zoo. Believe me, there have been times I have wanted to import a bunch of army/war stuff and make military bases just for the fun of it, but that takes up too much time for something not related to the game. I barely have time to make stuff for the game let alone a bunch of stuff that only I, or very few people will use. Refrigerators would be good for vet buildings and zoo kitchens. I have yet to find a suitable mesh for one though. They are either too old fashioned, or high verticals. |

How about enrichment objects for animals or maybe shelters that we don't have good remakes of ? Like for example small burrows or that kind of shelters. |

I for one would love to see some animal transport crates - large and small carriers and things like that. Refrigerators as you said would also be fantastic. Really anything for more realistic veterinary offices and zoo kitchens would be incredibly useful. |

They say necessity is the mother of invention. Well, I needed some birdhouses, so I made these from scratch. Two sizes so far. I am going to do a taller version as well. Not all the birds will fit in them, but a majority do. Need invisible elevated path in order for it to work. From left to right: Macaw, Great Horned Owl, Barn Owl, and American Goldfinch ![]() |

Amazing! This'll be highly useful. You know, I can use these for bats as well. |

Whalebite has some invisible perches for birds, it would be cool if you could put some of the birdhouses at the same height so it results in the birds "perching" inside the houses

Some ideas that might be usefull in game 1. More playground/amusment things for kids like playground equipment shaped like animals. (Example links Here Here Here And Here 2. we always need more variety of statues that would look good in small gardens/ponds etc. Examples Here Here Here Here And Here 3. We need butterflies but I think since there mostly so small it would be easier to keep them as placeable items rather then real animals. there's so many types of fake outdoor butterflies on google i think they would be easy enough to make but a nice edition to the game?. 4. Sea Pens for rehabilitation of marine animals, also would be nice alternative to tanks for orca and dolphin. Examples Here Here Here Here And Here Couple other thoughts I had that I'm not sure have already been made or not. Pellet machines for guests to feed farm animals like This one. Shaped ornament signs instead of the normal sign post ones, examples Here And Here I like making areas that guests can walk down right next to the water or even in shallow water to feed fish/dolphins much like the docks but i think concrete slabs like This could be really useful for that. instead of the standard seats available we could have some themed seats for different enclosures, example Here solar lights for pathways, we have a big yard here full of different solar lights, butterfly's, dragonfly's etc, they give heaps of light and they come in so many variety's seems a great idea for zoos. have a lot of cool terrarium animals available now but its hard to make nice small enclosures since most of the plants/rocks available are too big, some scaled down versions would be nice super small rocks for lizards to perch on and small branches for them to climb. Also thinking smaller feeding/watering bowls are needed as well. more things for restaurants and toilets like table utensils, salts, pepper, etc. Hand basins for bathrooms, hand wash, small bins. I've seen These water bottle refill stations around a few times they might be a nice alternative to the drinking fountains. Bird baths for all the wild birds that would be visiting the small garden areas in the zoo like This one or something fancy Like this one Sorry for the long post hope some of these are helpful

These do look nice, I'd definately be interested in using them. May I suggest a variant with a darker wood skin, to match more building sets ? |

Yea, I guess I could re-code them all to have multiple skins. I didn't want to create 15 different scenery items just for colors. I will see what I can come up with to have the skins change instead. Good idea.
Not a bad idea either. Are you talking about those sliding doors, or just plain doors in general? |

I think he's talking about the sliding gates you often see in zoos. And I would love to have such a download, even if it wasn't usable by the animals. Btw, the nesting boxes look very good and are also very needed. Edited by Jony, May 24 2016, 03:21 PM.
