In this guide, I will explain how research works and cover all the different types of nodes to activate.

Planet Zoo 2 Research explained
Research is the key to unlocking new items inside the game. This can be a new species that you want to add to your zoo, or different conditions you can apply to your exhibits. Finally, you can also research different diseases and their cures to ensure your creatures stay healthy.
You can even unlock new content, though there’s not much, but it is essential to improve your enclosures and attract more visitors.
All types of Research in Planet Zoo 2
At launch, there are over 200 topics to research (the actual list might increase when we get more species).
Here are some quick descriptions of all four categories and what you can expect.
