Planet Zoo – Work Zone Guide (Thoughts and Ideas)

Just a rundown on work zones, staff, and setting it all up.

Work Zone Section Labels

I usually do my Work Zone categories as:

• Exhibits get named by animals in them.
• #1 Caretakers, Security, and Mechanics, #2, #3,etc.
• Front concessions, Concession row, Back concession, etc (whatever I can think to name them that makes sense to where it is in the zoo).

Bathrooms

Doesn’t need anything but mechanics to keep them clean.

Ya know, cause that makes sense, the caretakers surely don’t have the proper training like the mechanics do.

Staff Rooms

As far as the staff rooms go, they don’t need any sort of upkeep. So you’ll just put them in the work zones with the zones you want in order to get the perks.

Staff Room Perks

The staff perks are best assigned to the correct staff for the area.

Like, the security buff won’t do vendors any good. So make sure to pay attention to that one.

Vendored Shops

Since there’s no durability on the vendor shops, they only need vendors assigned to their work zone. However, since I’m not sure on the range on security and caretakers, I’m not sure if this is all that needs to be assigned.

Power, Water, and ATMs

Transformers, wind turbines, solar panels, water treatments, and ATMs only need mechanics.

Habitats and Exhibits

Habitats need Vets, Keepers, and Mechanics. So make sure you have you keepers and vets in one work zone, it will make it easier.

Security and Caretaker Zones

I don’t see any heat map filters for crime or cleanliness, which makes it difficult to know where to place staff. That’s why I pair them with mechanics. If mechanics cover the whole zoo, then security and caretakers should also provide full coverage.

I place security cameras throughout the zoo, even though Security camera #2 has a positioning problem (if you open its view, you’ll just see the sky). I’m not certain how the cameras function – whether they work based on line of sight or cover a specific area. You can approach this however works best for you.

Mechanics

I don’t understand why I’m replacing my vandalized objects, considering the mechanics are supposed to repair them….. So hopefully this is something that gets fixed later on in patches.
