Sometimes you just need to try out your ideas. That is the only way you will become better and don´t be scared of taking inspiration from other builders.. I am a pretty avarage builder, but my creations sure have progressed since I started out trying.

Never under estimate what you can do in planet zoo. A little practice, some trial and error and some patience will go along way to creating something you can enjoy.

And the most important is that you make something "you" like, even if you share it with others (I do that abit to much sometimes)

And I agree, practice makes master.

Tell me how to do something and I learn a little.
Show me how to do something and I learn a bit more.
Let me do something and I begin to understand.

Planet Zoo teaches a lot more than just "creative stuff and construction" like ie. it might make you look up and animal and then you learn new facts about them.

Like how you spot the difference on a Fallow, Sika or Roe (in my country we have 4 different types and you can see the difference on the rumps..

Valid point Darkie but the adage was intended to encourage the op to try things and learn how the pieces fit together in gameplay, zoo design and construction.

I know, that have been "both our main points" but I just wanted to add, that it has so much more to offer. Hopefully the OP gets to have a lot of fun trying stuff out.
