I've started a new zoo, and I'll be using all user-created animals, as this zoo has a volcanic theme. I've never used the lava path (despite having created it
), and that's what inspired this zoo.
Instead of giving a creative tour, I'll be rating the animals as I go.
Here by the entrance we have the Mythic Salamander (top exhibit) and the Lavagator (bottom exhibit):
I like the
Mythic Salamander, but it's exhibit is extremely boring. It requires solid gray stone, and lava pits, volcanoes and such are habitat neutral, but it will not tolerate any foliage or rocks, and the highest suitability I can get it is 81% - with the colorful ferns I put in, the suitability dropped to 80%.
Conversely, the
Lavagator is one of my favorite user-created animals ever! They're black gators at first glance, but glow red around the edges in the water. Lovely exhibit that needs brown and gray stone, dirt and salt water, as well as some elevation. Guests absolutely love this animal (I'll get back to you on the Mythic Salamanders, I forgot to look
)
When I took this shot, what you see is all there is in the zoo, and guest happiness had just hit 96%!
