Starter Quokka Habitat

This Quokka enclosure is part of the Starter Habitat Series, and can accommodate 24 Quokkas.

The Starter Habitat Series is a set of basic enclosures for every animal in the game. I've designed these habitats for beginner players, meaning that:

1. Each habitat is optimised to meet all animal needs - every habitat meets all requirements for the number of animals to be housed (volumes of flora & fauna, water, terrain paint, hard shelter, barrier strength/height and climb-proofing if required). There's no wasted space, or sprawling gigantic pens. Sizes have been optimised to fit (in most cases) the maximum number of animals the game recommends be housed together. I've taken liberties with this where the game says it can house massive amounts (like the 500 penguins and flamingos)!

2. These habitats don't use any DLC - you don't need any DLC packs to download and use these enclosures (except for ones that are made for specific DLC animals - you may need the relevant DLC for those). The habitats also only use base game 'Planet Zoo theme' pieces, so you can download and use straight away without having to research building set themes. You may need to research barrier types as majority are made from the wood, concrete, wire mesh or glass barrier types.

All enrichment items need to be added manually. I've kept enrichment items in images for purposes of showing where they can sit, but removed before uploading to Steam so those who haven't researched them can still use the habitat, and you can choose when/how you add enrichment yourself.

3. All habitats are rectangular for easier placement in game - Please note - every habitat blueprint in Planet Zoo automatically loads into the game 'floating in the air'. You need to use the move tool (press x as soon as you click on the blueprint to place) to sink it back down to the correct position. To help with this, I've left markers inside the habitats to get them flush with the ground ('see me' and 'hide me' signs). With the advanced move tool, sink the habitat down until the 'hide me' sign disappears and the 'see me' sign is still visible. You can then click outside of the habitat to place it in that position and delete the signs. Check out my video tutorial (attached above) for more help with this.

4. Nothing is super expensive - I've avoided heavy decoration to keep in-game costs of these habitats down. I've still tried to make every habitat interesting and unique, but keeping to basic materials, plants and decorations.

If you've never placed blueprints before or are struggling technically with issues like floating and 'terrain modification error' please watch this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G3pCqp1PUds
