New DLC Idea : FARM PACK <3

[LorenzoPinello]

Hello, it would be great from Planet Zoo if we could integrate many farm animals in the game. I would love to create a zoo in honor of "Little House on the Prairie" and give the impression that we are immersed in the world of farmers, I want to give an impression of "tranquility". I think that the addition of this DLC will also give a lot more possibilities to create various and diverse zoos. And to give life to my idea, I have several proposals to share with you :

Wishlist of ANIMALS :

The COW :

The HORSE :

The SHEEP :

The GOAT :

The HENS and ROOSTERS :

The DONKEY :

The PIG :

The GOOSE and DUCK :

OBJECTS of the Pack :

I Want to create a peaceful place as a zoo-farm with rustic elements directly recalling the world of the farm (Tractors, water tower, ventilator tower, grain silo, mill, bales of hay etc). I would also like to be able to plant, harvest my own vegetables or fruit that I will sell to visitors in stands. This would give more creative possibilities for the sellers. I would also like to be able to have invisible paths like invisible fences, one of the things that I think was the most requested. So I'm taking this opportunity to ask again. I don't want to have to "lower" the paths to make them disappear. This would give more realism, visitors would not have their feet cut by building elements while walking on them.

I stand fully behind a Farm Pack. We need way more domesticated Animals. Only really got the Llama and the Bactrian Camel so far and only one of those is even suitable for Petting Zoos. The most important ones in my Opinion are Goats and Donkeys. Don't know though if the growing, harvesting and selling of Vegetables and Fruits would be possible to implement in the Game. Would be nice though if this would mean that we could also use the harvested Plants to feed our Animals. Finally Eucalyptus Greenhouses wouldn't be just for Decoration anymore
Your Scenery Ideas also need to be implemented. I really need a Tractor and some Hay Bales in the Game
Maybe it could be something like a Rare Breeds Pack because those need to be protected too

The issue with rare breeds is that zoos mostly focus on local/native breeds. Therefore it is hard to pick rare breeds that are going to make sense from a global perspective. So if we get domestics I would prefer breeds you see in zoos around the world like pygmy goats.

Common Farm Animals would of course also be absolutely great. Every additional Farm Animal would and the African Pygmy Goat is probably one of the most common Zoo Animals

it is the most common zoo animal, by far, not even close

WE NEED DUCKS

 

[Firestar97]

WE NEED DUCKS

We need Pigs, we need Donkeys, we need Goats

 

[UCKX]

We need Pigs, we need Donkeys, we need Goats

and Ducks

 

[Firestar97]

and Ducks

Of course. Meant it additional to the Ducks


And Chickens.
We should get at least one Breed of each Type of Farm Animal in my Opinion. Even better if we could get more. Bactrian Camels should also get a Variantion Update in a Farm Pack

Current bactrian cammels look more like their wild variants

I'm glad they at least gave us the domesticated one because all wild Bactrian Camels live in the Wild. The Domesticated one has so much more Variations than what we can see in the Game

Current Bactrian camel looks more like a dromedary, only with two humps and a darker shade. You can tell that whoever started the model thought they were making a dromedary and then it got switched up.

Anyway, I'm more on board with a domestics pack than I used to be. My ideal roster would be:

• Pygmy goat.
• Miniature donkey.
• Domestic turkey.
• Kunekune pig OR Vietnamese pot-bellied pig.

Plus a building/scenery set dedicated to farms, a new wooden post barrier, and some new enrichment (stackable wooden crates for the goats, for example). It would also be fun to add a 'feeding/petting station' that basically attaches to the fence and groups of guests can come up and feed or pet the animals.

For the exhibit animal, ideally I'd like a new exhibit type for a rabbit or chicken of some kind.

Nice Selection of Animals
I wouldn't want Chickens and Rabbits to be Exhibit Animals though. If you go with Farm Animals in General the Maine Lobster would work because those are also bred for Food as far as I know. Otherwise maybe a Chinchilla, Hamster, Degu, Mouse or domesticated Rat. Or maybe Budgies for the Walkthrough Exhibit

IMO chicken babies are too small for the game. Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have free-roaming helmeted guineafowl in my zoos but once they breed you've suddenly lost the chicks. Rabbits I could see as a habitat animal but they're most commonly displayed in large hutches or tiny little enclosures so an exhibit makes sense to replicate that.

You've also listed the Turkey though and their Chicks are only a little bit larger

They would be the size of the prairie dog juveniles I assume.
I would rather have free-roaming guinea fowl on my savannahs with chickens getting a bit lost than have them in fixed square areas, where they can't even have chickens.

 

[NZFanatic]

Turkeys are bigger than peafowl.

Chickens are the size of baby peafowl.

Chicken babies would be smaller still.

 

[Antimony96]

I'm actually on the side of adding domestics to Planet Zoo, but the biggest issue with OP's proposal is how many radically different breeds of cattle, sheep, etc. there are. For a domestic animal pack, some potential picks include:

• Ankole Watusi cattle
• Sardinian donkey
• West African dwarf/African pygmy/Nigerian dwarf goat
• Helmeted guineafowl (common domesticated animal plus bolsters African mixed habitats)
• Alpaca

Undecided on what breeds of sheep/pig/chicken to go with.

 

[Firestar97]

Undecided on what breeds of sheep/pig/chicken to go with.

Pig = Black Iberian Pig, Kune Kune, Vietnamese Pot bellied Pig, Mangalica

Chicken = Ayam Cemani (no Color Variations but a exotic Breed, so maybe someday as a second Breed), Chinese Silk Chicken, Sussex Chicken

Sheep = Kamerun Sheep, Heidschnucke, Jacob Sheep (a Breed with four Horns)

 

[Karen F]

I definitely would like some farm animals but not much, just one scenery pack would do. I am thinking of goats, rabbits or Guinea pigs, sheep or a donkey. And scenery like stuff you find in stables, tractors, goat climbing furniture.....
