All New & Old Biome Skirts - 1.11

One of the weirdest Things is that there are no Roads. How are the Guests supposed to get there? Of course you can build a Road yourself outside of your Zoo but only until it reaches the End of the buildable Area. Natural Areas are nice but if there aren't even Roads it's too natural for a Zoo

This is honestly still my biggest gripe with the game. The whole game. Not one of the biggest but THE BIGGEST. I’d remove any animal from the roster as an offering to the gods for this to be changed. It’s extreme, but It frustrates me way more than I know it reasonably should.

I can for some reason be at peace with elephants being carried in boxes and the difference in detail in the animals and humans in this universe.. but the franchise entrance building teleportation magic AND BOAT AND COACH PROPS being added without any rhyme or reason for them to have actually reached these geographical spaces is annoying. I don’t even care that guests pour out of them for all eternity.. I just do not understand how this wasn’t seen as jarring in initial development to have this tiny disconnected shed in the middle of the countryside, arctic, or dessert.. beautiful environments.. but soo damn disconnected for a ZOO that’s apparently trying to be a viable business. The only thing I can think of as a reason is to stop many zoos looking similar to each other or something.

I just need some signs of life and infrastructure…

I’ll pay, Frontier. I’ll pay good.

They still have normal green grass.

I know. I did say I'm not against your green grass argument. I just wanted to add something to the climate and snow cover discussion.

Based on all this "taiga grass should be greener too then" was the point I was making. However, I think all of this is irrelevant, as I believe Frontier simply picked the wrong skin for short grass on this particular map, when the intention was probably to pick the temperate one. It appears identical to taiga short grass, so probably a simple error of clicking the wrong file name. If this is true, then it could count as a bug and perhaps we should create an issue tracker report for it.

That's what I thought aswell, just simply the wrong short grass chosen and likely no one bothered to report the issue rather thinking it's just a weird texture
