Zoo progress pt. 6

   Some more progress on the zoo. Quite a few updates to existing exhibits and creation of some new ones. I now have frogs, glow squid, axolotls, and a bat in the nocturnal exhibit too. I'm currently breeding axolotls in attempt to breed the rare blue variant. I needed a place for some pigs and chickens, and J suggested a small petting zoo. I built it close to the front entrance. Closer detail of some of the internal walls with the outer wall behind it. I was going to strip the bark off the birch logs here, but I actually quite liked how it turned out. Some more detail of the other wall now that it is completely finished. I capped the entire surround with mud brick slabs and a few stairs. I'm going to try and get a ravager into this pen, but if I can't then I'll have to figure out something else to put in there. This exhibit will be for sheep and cows and sort of represent a birch forest or meadow. It took me a long time, but I managed to bring two pandas over from a ba...

 More progress on the zoo. Mostly around infrastructure. Entrance and tickets. This is based on a zoo in Seattle.   Visitor car park. Eventually I'll build some cars to go on it. It is joined directly to the tunnel. The entrance tunnel. There is a fake wall that hides the Nether Portal. I created a custom resource pack to give me items that could be placed in item frames to cover the wall. Outer wall made from logs Creeper exhibit based on aquifers and lush Guardian exhibit, based on a miniature Ocean Monument

   New year, same updates. Working on some more exhibits on the zoo, as well as finalising all the guest and staff access paths. I'm thinking I'll surround the entire zoo in a 5 or 6 high wall of logs, although I am unsure how that will look at this stage. The desert/savannah exhibit. I've built a mesa-type wall around the back with some acacia trees for shade. I took advantage of the new /fillbiome command to change the grass and leaves to a more brown colour fitting of the savannah theme. Some llamas were wandering around near the library so I brought them over with leads. I have a whole host of llamas over in Tanisen City, but getting them over to the zoo would be a long way to travel, even in the Nether. The polar exhibit. I am unsure at this stage how to further decorate this area, apart from variegate the background stone, and perhaps a few more layers of snow. The freshwater exhibit. I've finished decorating this one for the moment, but I'll maybe add some fo...
