-
Is there an option for freshwater tanks like there were in MM1?
-
Being a beta tester, I can now tell you that you can put any kind of water in the tanks that you want.
-
Thats good. how many fresh water animals are there?
-
Well, there are crocs, and beavers, and hippos and wildebeest, etc. All the MM2 animals are ocean animals.
-
That's great to hear, hopefully any unlockables will have river dolphins in them.
-
I can't wait for the aquariums and the Koi!!!
But what does it mean by koi? Will it be a koi pond? Or will the koi be an enrichment item? Just a statue?
-
You make your own pond and buy the koi, individually.
-
can you do that with the octopus also?
-
Wow, love the new animal houses! Guess we still have our cephalopods.: :P :
BTW, do the koi have variants?
-
can you do that with the octopus also?
No. They are like the insects - contained and not placable.
-
thank you i only asked becouse i watched the credits and i saw a octopus attacking a guest
-

BTW, do the koi have variants?
To anser the koi question they do have a few varients.
-

Oh that's awesome!!! =D Will their be varient koi instead of just the common orange and white? (ie http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d/db/Mango_koi.jpg)
-
Koi are a great addition to the game, are they placeable in exhibits too? :huh:
All these new things were getting, were totally being spoiled by Blue Fang and Microsoft. :laughing:
-
Koi are a great addition to the game, are they placeable in exhibits too?
They're placeable in any watered place.
-
That is awsome! You can add koi with, like, hippos or something!
-
yes........ this xp is making all my small evil 14 yo zt2 involving dreams come true :badgnome: :wicked:
i am going to make a gigantic tank with nothing but koi
i wonder are they like the arctic cod and just stay near the top or do they move to different depths
-
So basically the Koi are like semi-ambients.: :) :
-

No, not really. Just replaceable.
-

So they move, like the lizard food? Or what? I'm sorta confused...
-
Its a shame they dont have flat bottom boat tours, or another tour like that... Oh well, Maybe BF will release one as a bonus download, or something. : :) :
-
So they move, like the lizard food? Or what? I'm sorta confused...
No, they're not food. They decorative fish and they just swim, like regular koi do.
-
Cool! I was wandering what the koi was, I saw a file in the demo.
What of those objects is a tour? I can't see any tours, unless they're unlockable... :woot:
-
How does the treasure chest bubbler work? I was assuming it would be an enrichment item, like the clam bubbler - but to be a tour item it must be placeable somewhere where jeeps can go!
-
Guests can see it (chest) through the tank walls and you can place it out of a tank if you want too. it just dont bubble. lol.
-
No, they're not food. They decorative fish and they just swim, like regular koi do.
Opps. Yeah. That's what I meant. I know they aren't food. Mabye we could make other semi-ambient fishes with the new Model Technology...
-
I love the sounds of these. Especially the objects,the Pirate Ship sounds good!
-
So there are no actual new ways to tour you zoo? Oh and i know the koi are decortive but did animals eat them?
-
sorry to bring up the koi again, but do the guests view them like they would an animal or are they just ignored?
-

As far as I remember, they ignore them, much as the ambients.
-
oh well... i never open my zoos anyway:laughing: but it would be nice if guests said like 'watching the koi is very relaxing' or something..
does EVERY marine animal use one of the 3 shelters?
-
The pirate obects sound cool. They would be awesome to use! *thinks of having POTC theme*
-
does EVERY marine animal use one of the 3 shelters?
No. Some use no shelter whatsoever.
-
Well ya know, if people want freshwater water-based animals, we could always have the coders/skinners/modellers whip something up.
Maybe a bass, perch, and other freshwater game fish to enhance the exhibit?
I mean, wouldn't a land-water hippo tank with talapia be awesome?
-
river otters too lol
anyway i wonder what crazy tours i can make with ES and MM it'll be awsome! just think a lift tour barely touching the water over a great white shark tank!
-
Designers could make a goldfish out of the koi! :laughing:
-
Maybe some Siamese Fighting Fishes overgrown.
-
the proper name is beta but that would be cool especially if someone gets the fins right. anyway the koi is an excellent idea! ive been to many zoos and if they have hippos they have fishes in the tank with them, and although they always have chichilids someone could always modify the koi. so all in all koi = awsomeness.
-
I hope we can make proper animals out of the koi!! Just think of all the possibilities!!!
Do animals mind the ship etc? Will they swim through them?
BTW, bettas would be awesome, but I don't think you can make splendens because of the fins. I think you could make the other species, though.
-
So the new marine fences are glass? Guests will get an underwater view throught the fences, like in ZT1 Marine Mania? I hope that is how it will work.
-
Well, there is a tank wall just like MM1, and there are marine themed walls, just like jungle, tundra, desert, etc that arn't tanks.
-
This is going to be awsome. Out of curiosity, when does this come out?

The date being published is Oct. 17th.
-
these are great!
i really like the variety of marine animal kiosks,
i cant wait to see the guest interaction with these!
-
i cant wait for the koi! i keep thinking of putting koi in with the crocodiles and other wetlands animals. i cant wait any longer!!!!!!
-
I wonder if the crocs will eat it Also,im typing off my PSP!!
-
can you put land in a water exbit?!
-
You can make marine exhibits in one of three ways:
-Just a regular ol' tank, just filled with water.
-Combined land/tank exhibits like in MM for ZT1
-Having a land exhibit, use the biome brush to place water in the land exhibit, and place the marine animals in the water (no tank needed)
-
In the pre-release screenshots for MM2, I saw a large building that looks like a whale. What is it for?
-
i believe steve said it is like the discovery kiosk,
i could be wrong. (that happens a lot.) :rollseyes:
in zoopedia on the demo, it was called an unlockable
from a campaign i think.
-
It's like a little marine museum kinda thing, I think.
-
That would be the blue whale hall.
An unlockable object from the first 3 campains.
Cant tell you what it 'does' as there were bugs that stopped some testers getting it unlocked after completing the campains.
(i think its ok to say that?)
-

and then there were bugs that stopped some of us completing the campains
-
The koi can be added to any tank. That would be nice if the guests could view the koi, they are very relaxing, I use to have a whole pond of them. Betas would be cool so would Japanesse Fantails.
Also as I remember in the Beta 2 there where a few unlockable objects. I never got to unlock the Blue Whale hall in the beta, so I'm hoping the Strategy Guide will help with that this time.
-
Do the Koi eat and have needs and such like the other animals, or do they just swim around and look pretty?
-

They just swim around. They have no needs, much like ambients.
-
It would be cool if BF made a building were you could release ambients like the kangaroo rats in the desert zoos.They always end up dissapearing but the building would allow you to keep making more and releasing other ambient species like chipmunks or maybe even some fish to put in crocodile exhibits or hippo exhibits making them more realistic.
-
that sounds neat. oh and i just got the blue whale hall. its awesome, its got its own music and everything!!.:specool:
i love how the coi jump out of their water sometimes
-
I heard you can realease hermit crabs in to your zoo.:original:
-
That would be really authentic for a beach like zoo.
-
yeah, hermit crabs would rock.
whew! (breathes deeply) i finally, finally finished the show campaigns. the canopy for the show platform is nice, and its fun to walk under.:specool:
-
Well, after a long time of disapperance, I have returned.:IloveZA:
Anyhow, to buisness, does anyone have screens of the animal houses in MM2?
I know what they are , but I would like to see what they look like! Thanks!
-
On the show and tell theres a pic of a Jellyfish Tank and a touch pool.
-
Sweet.I thought up a new tour item!
-Boat Ride with glass bottom
It's just a thought but it would be cool to have it! Also, can any Zoo Tycoon 2 animal(polar bear,crocodile,hippo...) swim in the tanks or is it just ZT2:MM animals?
-
most animals that can swim can have tanks or at least hybrids, but whats the point of putting a lion in a tank lol? so yes polar bears can go in tanks
-
there really is no use to put a lion in a tank, maybe a tiger but not really a lion.
-
yes, lion in hybrid exhibits would be useless. but ill try tigers with anything.:rolleyes:
-
what does The BLue Whale Hall do?
-
I think it is just like a tunnel the guest walk through, could be wrong though.
-
I don't have it but the Blue Whale hall is just a hall that you walk through to learn about marine animal conservation.
-
yea they walk through it and the game says it teaches guests about the largest animal in the world: the blue whale.
-
it is an amusement item, it plays music, and like wolfkid said, it teaches guests about blue whales. but it also has pics of dolphins and black tip sharks inside
-
It would be cool if BF made a building were you could release ambients like the kangaroo rats in the desert zoos.They always end up dissapearing but the building would allow you to keep making more and releasing other ambient species like chipmunks or maybe even some fish to put in crocodile exhibits or hippo exhibits making them more realistic.
I just wish guests would notice and comment on the ambients & Koi!!! :happyroll
:IloveZA: :flipper:
-
im pretty sure i had a guest comment something like, i like watching the koi. boy, these people are kinda simple minded arent they lol.
-
I heard somewhere a guest commented on a remora....
