Underwater viewing

[declanryan583]

How do I build a good habitat with a good view for animals which swim such as, King penguins? And by good view I mean an underwater view, I've tried making one so many times but for some reason i fail miserably.

When you say "good underwater view" do you mean being able to see the animals clearly?
There are various ways to do that; one is by adjusting the water and another is by using terrain overhang. Not sure what you are looking for.

I raise the land with the max landstamp. Then set barriers to keep the top level. Starting on the raised land, and going off it and back on can create a very deep swimming area. Use the glass option and the animals can be seen swimming around. You have to run a path up to it for keepers though. But what a shame the viewing domes cannot be placed in water. But cameras can be placed in the water.

Not sure what you mean about the viewing domes. I do not use them as I like underwater tunnels but they can go in the water. Just place the domes and then add the water.

The provided viewing domes with an entrance in a barrier. Water will not go over them, it just says obstructed. Which is an oversight by Frontier I would have thought.

Place the viewing domes first and then add the water.

I was able to place them while the water was there.

You are right, they can be placed, but only before the water is poured in. Although now I will add, a shame the domes are not bigger!

That is not how it was in my last zoo.
