While Planet Zoo is about building the perfect zoo and, more importantly, animal conservation, you also need to ensure that you have enough money coming in to keep expanding your zoo. Keeping your guests happy is one of the best ways to make sure that they part with their money, and ensuring they can actually see through the one-way glass helps ensure they have a great time.

Using one-way glass in Planet Zoo is one of the best ways of making sure your guests can get up close to the animals in your zoo, without needing to build a guest gate, or for animals that aren’t safe to use a guest gate with.

However, many players of Planet Zoo are facing an issue where the one-way glass is the wrong way. Essentially, this means that your guests can’t see the animals, but the animals can see them, which for some of the more timid animals in your zoo could cause them to become stressed, making both your guests and animals unhappy.

So, if you’re playing Planet Zoo and the one-way glass is facing the wrong way, here’s how to fix it and keep everyone happy in your zoo, and help your animals to become more relaxed, without seeing guests gawking at them.

One Way Glass Fix

In the image below, you can see that the one-way glass barrier is allowing animals to see out, but of course, with this one-way glass facing the wrong way, all the guests can see is a black screen.

The idea is that guests can see into the habitats, while the animals can’t see out, thus increasing guest happiness and decreasing animal stress.

But when you place the glass barrier down, sometimes that one-way glass can face the wrong way. To fix this, you’ll need to click on your habitat’s barrier and select “edit barrier”.

Either select one panel of glass or all of the glass barriers, then click the option to make them 1-way.

Select the Settings menu in the right-hand corner panel by locating the cog icon.

Next, choose the 1-way glass side option and toggle between left-to-right or right-to-left. This will change the direction of the 1-way glass in Planet Zoo, making sure that your guests have a clear view of your animals and not the other way around, because let’s face it, you’re running a weird zoo if your animals are there to stare at humans through one-way glass.

You can check to see whether the 1-way glass is working by rotating the angle. The darker side should face the animals, whereas the transparent side should face your guests.

Et voilà! Your guests will now be happier, and your animals won’t feel like everyone is watching them. When guests can’t enter a habitat because there are dangerous animals, this is a great way for them to feel closer to the animals, increasing your money in Planet Zoo.
