Planet Zoo 2 themes and scenery
Last verified 2026-10-14
FeaturesFrontier confirms four new scenery themes and five returning themes in Planet Zoo 2. Its Features page introduces five named groups: Planet, North, East, South and West.
Checked 14 October 2026 against the official Features page, Basics and building guides. The headline theme count and five displayed group names are recorded separately.
The five named scenery groups
The table follows the five names and descriptions displayed by Frontier. Its four-new/five-returning headline is a separate count; these five groups are not presented here as nine individually named themes.
| Official group | Scenery direction |
|---|---|
| Planet | General zoo essentials, including favourites returning from the original |
| North | Rugged scenery inspired by colder northern regions |
| East | Bright, tranquil scenery for a tropical setting |
| South | Organic scenery centred on nature |
| West | Temperate, pastoral scenery |

Customise a themed build
Choose an object from Scenery in the Browser. Place it with Move, Advanced Move, Rotate and Scale. Some pieces offer Flexi-colour; use the options available on the selected item.
To add an object to an existing building, select the target Scenery Group and edit it in Group Edit Mode. Grid pieces connect to the building grid; non-grid objects can be grouped for movement and duplication.
Save a selected build as a blueprint to reuse it. Installing a Workshop blueprint does not automatically unlock missing research or make an animal enclosure valid.
Soundtrack and custom media
You, Me & Sanctuary, The Music of Planet Zoo 2 has its own Steam soundtrack product. It is music, not a scenery theme or a promise of a future building pack. Check the separate product for its current regional price.
The building guide separately documents Custom Media for supported displays and speakers. Selecting an image or sound on a device is a different workflow from choosing a scenery theme.
Questions people ask
How do I customise scenery?
Choose a Scenery item, use its placement and scaling tools, and change Flexi-colour where the item offers it. Group pieces or save a blueprint for reuse.
Are four new and five returning themes confirmed?
Yes. Frontier's Features page explicitly gives that count. It introduces Planet, North, East, South and West as five named scenery groups; this is not a nine-name catalogue.
Is the soundtrack a theme?
No. Steam lists it as a separate soundtrack product, app 4515750.
