I cannot wait to see what you build in planet zoo 2!

For anyone starting out i would suggest opening the sandbox first and just play with everything. Build a habitat, build a structure from nothing, build a fence from scratch, a pool, learn how to connect everything, how it works. I did that and its much easier to understand how these zoos are built. At first i was amazed by these zoos i mean i still am but when i tried everything in sandbox i managed to then build for example a indonesian restaurant with two exhibits on each floor and lighting, the lower terace was on water with a glass barrier directly put into the aligator habitat before i even atempted the first zoo build. Once you understand how everything moves is just easier to get complicated and you can pretty much do anything. The game is absolutely amazing.

This feels like a nice curtain call on Planet Zoo. I can not wait to see what you create on Planet Zoo 2!

You’re literally the reason I still play JWE and even got Planet Zoo, now I have over 300 hours on both, and thank you for inspiring me

The Himalayan Temple not having it's mention is crazy, but all great builds! Looking forward to what you create in PZ2 🌟

12:40 that did remind me of a trick I found where you use blue lights to simulate water, I've made fush tanks in JWE3 with the trick

Not a single bad building or video in this channel 😊

This brings me back to watching every episode of San Bernardino consecutively straight over the course of about 3 days

There are so many builds I was expecting to see on this list, but never any disappointments when they didn’t show. Just goes to show how incredible the building is on the channel. Can’t wait to see what comes with PZ2

@BaconBit_Builder 2 months ago

These are all fantastic builds! It’s amazing to see how far you’ve come in this game and I can’t wait to see what you do in PZ2! It’s also fitting that the most popular video on your channel is the number one build as well.

My favourite builds of you is also in San Bernardino Zoo, but none of the ones you showed. It actually made me subscribe to you and then just binge-watch all of your content. It also made me insanely inspired haha
It's the Amazonian area with the river and basically every habitat you built in that area

Great list, that panda house will always remain an architectural masterpiece. Otherwise the only thing missing here is MORE Tekton! :P

Surprised by some of these, but you also have an incredible body of work so it's really hard to pick a top 10. Goodbye Planet Zoo, hello Planet Zoo 2!
