NOTICE: While the asset is designed to take out as much coding as possible, this asset is not designed for beginners to unreal engine. A fair amount of blueprint knowledge is expected. A 50 page document has been constructed, explaining the core functionality and how the asset can be used to make sure that the usage and possibilities are clearly known. Assistance is always available on the Odium Studios discord channel for all. AI for animal behavior and animals themselves are not provided in this template if planning a zoo.
