How staff enter penguin habitat with big pool?

[SirRantsAlot]

I want to build a big penguin habitat with a pool around and a sinked path where guest can see them swimming. But since it completely surounded by water how ill staff come in and care for penguins?

Penguins still need a land area too, so if you want to put in a big pool with the main land area in the middle you will need to create a land bridge (you can do this over the water in an arch as long as it isn't too steep, so the penguins can swim under it) to the staff gate to make this work

Use the habitat staff navigable area lens to check that the staff (keepers and vets) can get in and reach the main Island

I know but the problem is that the land area is in the middle and the pool goes arround since rising at the fence dont work resp. the water level is a little bit above the path. So i guess i need to construct something else in order to get staff into penguin habitat.

Could that be a working solution? I know its ugly LOL

Actually players can build a bridge from scenery for the staff to walk over. Note that the gate requires a six meter arc of terrain around it to make things work.
Or one might put in a tunnel for the staff to use but that needs a little advanced habitat work.

Da Sie deutschsprachig sind, dachte ich an so etwas

Auch interessant. Fungieren die Steine/Felsen am Rand als Begrenzung bzw. sind sie ausbruchsicher?

Why do the gate needs 6 metres?

Ich habe es so steil gemacht, dass die Pinguine nicht aus dem Wasser darüber klettern können.

Nullbarrieren werden verwendet, um den Lebensraum zu beschreiben

(I made it so steep that the penguins can't climb over them from the water.

Null barriers are used to describe the habitat)

Das ist eine gute Idee. Die Brillenpinguine sind ja auch nicht so groß.

Gates need that area for animal delivery and the mechanic to repair the barriers.

OK.

It is worth remembering that the bridge can be at the height of the water and the place where the water passes under the bridge be underground

You'll also need land for a lot of things, like the food bowl, shelter and enrichments, and penguins live in groups of up to 500, so it's a lot of shelters and enrichments.

All the aquatic creatures in PZ need almost as much land as water. Some none aquatic animals need a lot of water also. Some aquatic ones need it very deep or those underwater feeders don't work. Some of the aquatic creatures' habitats can also be walkthough, so you need land for a guest path too. So really the gates can be on that required land. And to have it as land it needs to be higher than the water, of course, so where the gates are the water can be tunnelled under the land, if you want the water to go all around, as already mentioned above.
