Large hippo habitat with lookout

Description
I made this barrierless habitat for the Hippopotamus but it's also suitable for the pygmy hippo ofcourse, they will even have a lot of space! It also inculdes all the normal/large staff buildings, 5 shops and two toilets. The educational boards and speakers are also included.

FOR FRANCHISE USERS VISIT THIS WORKSHOP ITEM:

Placing the Blueprint
When selected find the green and purple colored signs. They are near the lookout building. Hold shift to lower it until the signs are just above ground.

Water
After placing you can add in the water. I made two large ponds and two creeks. To place it in, Finish the barrier at the front and higher the ground near the waterfall. Watch the video above to see the full explanation.

Pathing
After that start with the path going over the water. It's important to place it after you add the water because it doens't work the other way around. The path can be placed between the fences. After that follow the purple cubes I layed out. When you come to the creek go a little higher and make a little bridge.

When you come to the lookout building you can make a path all the way around. To line up the stairs perfectly you can press ctrl so it doesn't connect to any other paths. Now you can place the first path at the top of the stairs. Then turn on angle snap at 90 degrees and go two down and two around until you get to the bottom.

For the hiking path on the side, i made use of the queues. To find out more watch this video from Mike Sheets, it starts at around 22:00: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoBz_97LXIk&t=1388s
At the end I used the normal paths to create a larger and more open space.

Traversable Area
If you are experiencing any issues with the traversable area of the animal watch the video above. I found this problem with the awesome help of Taecla83. So if you are having problems tell me!

Unfortunately I couldn't include the whole building, so at the front some pieces are missing, you can add them back in.

Please rate. If there are any questions, just ask!

@Да поебать мне I have not played Planet Zoo in 4 years 😅 I learned by watching YouTube videos on how to do pathing in Planet Zoo, that might be helpful. I also added a YouTube video in the description.

I have two problems: how to raise the stairs from the first floor to the second How to make a path to the halls so that people can be there
I just started playing and I liked your drawing and I wanted to install it myself, but I still don’t understand construction at all, especially with stairs.

@鸡年大吉阿 Which staff road do you mean exactly? Where is it situated? You can click on 'Align to grid' and hover over the building to make it align perfectly. You can also try and check/uncheck 'Flatten Terrain', maybe that could help.

I tried many times that I cant link the staff road to those facilities inside, by the way, I love this habitat so much, thank you for sharing

@Calculator I've remade the bridge, education boards and added different lights. Let me know if you can place this in to your Franchise. The link can be found in the description above. :p

@Iris Hofman Wow, thanks for your quick check! I see... I have the Arctic pack but not the South America pack. I will try your Sandbox idea! However, I have tried it a couple of times with other blueprints and I experienced it was difficult to exactly remove all the parts if you haven't build the blueprint by yourself, unfortunately :(

@Calculator I've taken a quick look. I can see that the entire bridge is made out of DLC items. Arctic and South America. The lights are also in the looking tower. I will need to change all of the wooden parts. I'm not sure when I will have time for it. Maybe later today. If you want the habitat as soon as possible you could also place the blueprint in a Sandbox zoo remove/replace everything and save it as a blueprint again.

@Iris Hofman Thanks for checking! Would love to have your habitat in my zoo, so let me know :)

@Calculator I'm not sure if there are any DLC's. I will take a look!
