The more practice you do, the more you will really understand what each option is capable of doing. I recommend starting a sandbox game mode in Planet Zoo and just practice getting used to all of the different options within the path building tool. You can connect a staircase at a later time.Īs we know, the path tool is quite confusing and often frustrating at times. Shift: hold shift and move your mouse up to begin building elevated pathways in mid-air. This will allow you to build upwards creating elevated paths. Stairs: can be built in Planet Zoo by holding down left click and moving your mouse up or down. Z: gives a straighter edge when connecting at a junction, toggles the T-junction advanced path option. To delete paths quickly: you could right click on each piece of path, or you could hold the Delete key and left click drag along the path that’s placed to demolish it quickly. There is a Square Edges option that you can turn off and on to adjust whether you’d like the corners to curve. If you then start building from the path you’ve just placed, you can select each square in the grid to begin building your plaza area. See image below.īegin placing a path, and enable the Align To Grid option. Use T-Junction When Joining Paths: will connect paths together with a more direct approach where they meet, rather than joining with a slant. Read more about barriers in our building barriers guide. Snap Alongside Barriers: will ensure the path you’re placing down is as close to a habitat barrier as possible, leaving an equal neat distance between the barrier and path being placed down. Each path style has different styled railings. Railing On Elevated / Ground Path: this will add a railing to the side of your path ways. This can often look nice when your paths are weaving through garden areas. Kerb On Ground Path: will allow you toggle on and off the kerbs on the path you’re placing. This allows you to create helix type pathways within your zoo.
Tunnelling: will try to keep the terrain the same surrounding the path, but will build a tunnel within any terrain that may be in the way.Ĭurved Slopes: will allow your to curve your pathways when creating a staircase into the air or down towards the ground. Advanced Path Menuįlatten Terrain: will place a path at the same height, flattening any terrain in its way, such as hills.

Length: this option adjusts the length of the path you’re placing down.Ĭamera: flicking between the camera options will change how the camera positions its self as you build paths within your zoo.Ĭamera moves freely: will allow you to move the camera when appropriate to do so. Pressing the space bar will switch angle snapping on and off. Use 90 degrees snapping to get a more squared path layout. You can adjust the increments that the path will snap to when altering the amount of degrees next to the checkbox.
