Are there redeem codes in Planet Zoo 2? The honest answer, plus every kind of reward you can actually earn, from Workshop share codes and community challenges to achievements and accreditation unlocks.

Are there any redeem codes?

No. Planet Zoo 2 doesn't have a code box where you type in promo codes for free money, animals or credits. It's a paid PC game, not a free-to-play mobile game, so that system doesn't exist.

If a website or video promises "Planet Zoo 2 codes for free conservation credits", it's fake. Don't download anything or enter your account details to get them.

What does exist are a lot of ways to earn rewards through play, plus share codes for downloading other players' builds. Here's all of it.

Workshop share codes

The Frontier Workshop is where players share their creations. You can browse it from inside the game, or enter a creator's share code to grab a specific item. You'll find:

  • Whole zoos: many YouTubers upload their full save and update it every week.
  • Habitat blueprints: complete habitats, such as a hippo house, a leopard enclosure or a coral reef.
  • Scenery blueprints: signs, info boards, drinking fountains, coral sets, frog life-cycle displays, shop fronts.
  • Path and terrain stamps: ready-made path shapes like perfect circles and curved stairs.

Things to know:

  • Blueprints still cost in-game money when you place them in Franchise mode.
  • The in-game blueprint browser needs to reach the online server. If it says "cannot connect to server", it's usually a temporary outage, so try again later.
  • Frontier also publishes its own blueprints, which you can filter by theme (South, East, West, North, Planet and so on).

Community challenges

Franchise mode runs community challenges about every two weeks. Everyone works towards a shared goal and you get rewards for your part.

An example: "Green, Green Grassland" asked players to release land animals and birds from the grassland biome into wildlife reserves. About 12 releases got you the top reward tier, which included a franchise logo, an icon and a poster. There's also a leaderboard if you like competing.

Some players plan their Franchise episodes around each fortnight's challenge, which gives the zoo a fresh goal every couple of weeks.

Weekly conservation challenge

On the conservation projects board there's a weekly challenge too. One week's theme was "Animal rescues & sanctuaries": hire two vets, pay $7,000, and you received a rescued Asian elephant. You can keep a rescued animal for another zoo, or release it to the wild straight away for a big pile of conservation credits (that elephant was worth 164).

Accreditation rewards

Every time you reach a new accreditation tier in Franchise mode you unlock new animals plus extra rewards. Reaching tier 2, for example, unlocked about 33 species and gave two bronze marketing slots for advertising campaigns.

Achievements

Achievements pop up as you play. For example, "Full tank" is awarded for having five species living together in one aquarium.

Career mode unlocks

In Career mode, finishing a location's bronze goals unlocks the next location. Later goals (silver and gold) are there for completionists. New locations bring new reserves and zoos to work on, and sometimes new species.

Reserve rewards

Hitting a new star in a wildlife reserve can pay out a conservation credit bonus. One release that pushed a reserve to its next star paid an extra 100 credits.
