Can you build a successful zoo in Planet Zoo starting with absolutely £0? 💸

In this challenge, I attempt to turn an empty map with no money, no conservation credits and no help into a successful zoo. Is it even possible?

This Planet Zoo £0 Challenge includes:
• Starting with zero cash
• No Credits
• Building from scratch
• Reaching a profitable Zoo

Watch to see if I can survive bankruptcy and build a profitable zoo from nothing!

Not me totally forgetting about loans and thinking you were going to sell the starting building for your starting cash 😂

For exhibits, there is a management tab that will auto sell, or auto send to trade storage based on how you configure it. You can configure exclusions, how many to purge and how you want them purged by age, appeal etc...

Your beetles didn't die. You sold them all after year 1

Personally I really like starting habitat animals with foxes, because they're small, tolerant, high appeal carnivores that bring in loads of people, but are remarkably cheap for what they offer.,

@BlinkiesNoGood 6 months ago

Others have mentioned autosell on exhibits, but I'll also add that butterflies are an incredible moneymaking machine. Easy to get, there's one type in base game now (Malabar Rose), reproduce fast, sell for so much I just assume it's some kind of black market. I've done a similar challenge onstream and I started adding an extra "no butterflies" rule to keep it from being too easy!

What I do in terms of ticket prices, is go to the entrance where people walk in and see what their thoughts are on the prices and when they say "fair" that's the perfect price

@luxaeterna9383 7 months ago

You can put exhibits essentially on auto pilot, in the settings you can set it to automatically sell any extra animals either for cash or conservation credits, you can also configure how many animals you want to keep in the exhibit etc.

….soooo… do your staff not need a staff room though?

The animals automatically go to the trade center. Don’t need to send them there prior to sending to their habitat unless you have a trade center closer.

Also, put the habitat on auto so you don’t have to manage it

When viewing the animals for enrichment, you can click for it to automatically filter for selected species and it will tell you if they’re happy as you place it

I personally sell/release animals from the animal tab under the zoo menu. It's nice to see all of my animals in a filterable list.

If you place food enrichment, you dont need a food bowl. Also when looking at an animal, where it tells u (africa, temperate, tropical) etc, if you click those words, itll auto select those plant pieces :)

@adamzz6721 4 weeks ago

when you bring up the animals tab and their foliage etc, u can just click "Africa" or "Tropical" etc and it'll automatically apply the filter :P just thought i'd put that there

@arianne9415 7 months ago

Nice video! You can click on the buttons, you don't have to use the filters, when you selected an animal. Click on 'afrika' and you get al the plants, click on 'tropical' then its automaticly shows you only plants from afrika with a tropical biome etc. Its so much faster. Its works as wel for grass en enrichment items.

@Roxy_FoxyTTV 7 days ago

aww slightly cheating bc you got everything researched already haha ;D still very good job!

@brimi_xoxo 7 days ago

Manage animals through the Zoo tab, watching you do it from the exhibit was painful.

You can actually go into the negative numbers when you start your zoo. There is a limit, but it's possible. You don't need a loan. But if you get one, you can also edit the amount of money you pay back. If you pay less, it runs for more years, but it's good to know. Especially when you struggle a bit at the start
