Guest Gate Habitat Problem

[Luna]

So the gate to go in with the animals connects to start but then to continue in side the habitat it just give me a error (terrain modification failed) no matter how/where i place it. is any one else having this issue or knows what to do to make it work?

A little more detail and we might be able to help.
Any chance you're talking about the entrance to the zoo?

It will come up with a terrain modification error if there are no valid places to put the gate. I have found this on guest gates due to the path being too close to the habitat walls. If possible, adjust the part of the habitat that you want the other gate to go on until the gate slots into place and connects to the path.

Nope, they are talking about placing guest gates on the habitat. The first one worked but the second one didn't. Sometimes I have had it so that I can't place any guest gates... it's all due to the positioning of the path in relation to the habitat walls.

I Tried placing the gate first even then building around it but it doesn't work. no matter how i place things

I'd say a screenshot would be helpful

Definitely a screenshot will help.

On flat ground with no path around it should have allowed you to place the gate on a segment of barrier wall.

Do you have water in the habitat ? That will stop the terrain from adjusting as needed when placing the gate if it is within the area of land it needs adjusting. Try removing the water and then try placing the gate again.

Is the ground raised when the gate is supposed to be put? If possible level that part of the land off and try placing the gate again.

Dont use the gate. Use realistic objects like rope, other doors or something. You didnt need the original doors

I am assuming you ARE using a guest gate and not a keeper only habitat gate? A walkthrough habitat needs at least 2 or 3 gates
1 - A normal habitat gate for the keeper only to use
2 - Walkthrough gate 1 or more for the guests to use - only these allow you to attach a path inside a habitat

Also there are hidden 'undergound sinkholes' which can't be seen but sometimes stop path placement, try using the 'flatten to terrain' tool all over the proposed habitat site until you stop seeing any small white cost labels on the screen while using the tool, all the time you see one of these labels with a cost value under your terrain tool it means SOMETHING is getting moved even if you can't see it - this has fixed 'failed' path placing for me more than once

once more, you didnt need a Door fpr use a walkthrough habitat. Only use the invisible Walls over the normal way into the habitat and placed something other realistic object (like rope´s or something), to stop the animals but let in/out the visitors.

See here, for example
