Exhibit Size?

[fossaman]

How big do you usually make your exhibits? I make mine 12x12 with rounded corners. I'm trying to figure out the best way to lay out a grid zoo. I've got it up to 26-28 exhibit spaces on the large map, but I want to know how much smaller would work.

I like making exhibits that are about 120*50! I find making one exhibit zoos just really fun. It's just easier to layout and the huge exhibit space really helps when trying to beautify them.

Each animal is different. For example, a black rhino is as follows: 1 animal needs 78 squares of space, 2 needs 97, 3 needs 117 and 4 animals need a combined total of 136. A dromadary camel would be: 1=68, 2=78, 3=87, 4=97. Thomson's gazelle: 1=37, 2=43, 3=48, 4=55.

i really like making reserves. i make the whole zoo one exhibit. i have a path going all through, but only connecting to the entrance, so the whole thing is one exhibit only. i pick a biome, and theme the whole thing for it. example -jungle: jungle paths, jungle fence, jungle buildins and objects. make the exhibit jungle(the paths are above the exhibit) fill it in with food, toys, shelters. i put in the carnivores first so i can make sure they have enough food so they dont kill herbis before i put food in, then put the herbis in and there food. then, depending on the animals and decorations of the zzo, i price it an open the zoo. usually goes well, but it takes FOREVER to load it then. I usually get bored og it though aftera few days. it takes about 3 days or sob to build it, depending on how long your on. i'm usually on for about 3-4 hours. i hope you like this and maybe try it
