Planet Zoo: Grasslands Animal Pack arriving 13 December 🦋

I have not watched all the YT videos yet but from what I've seen, this pack is amazing and I can't wait to get my hands on it !

The blue wildebeest is stunning and I'm so excited about it !

The butterflies are stunning too. I was not expecting them to be so detailed, it's crazy. And so great that they were treated like every other animal (each one with its own zoopedia) 👍

The new grasses also look great and the zoo tours are going to be fun to play with.

The addition of the king cheetah is a very unexpected but nice surprise.

Very good job Frontier ! Thank you !

Only little thing I would like to see fixed is the wallaby and emu should have an interspecies bonus.
 
  • Not a single new enrichment item. This is really disappointing :cry::cry:.
Yeah, I think frontier more focusing right now on giving more behaviors instead of enrichment item. and I think It's fine. yeah I always love to get more enrichment item because more animations, more fun! and let's don't forget that until conservation pack we got a few enrichment items in every dlc/update. I know last dlc we got the pumpkin ball. but let's be real we will use it if It's not something for the halloween 😂 I hope in the future we will get more realistic enrichment items & feeders.
 
ALL the animals look AMAZING!

Guest interaction with butterflies! - I hoped for it but didn’t expect it at all!

Great to get netting, especially with a triangular piece but, more sizes would be great and please make it flexicolour!

Loving the look of the tours - looking forward to playing with them.

Especially happy to get emus and wallabies! This is the biggest game-changer of the game so far for me (no exaggeration) because it means I can finally make a (mostly) realistic Australian zoo!!! But,..please make emus walkthrough!!!

Edit: And give them temperate!!!!!

Good points. I honestly do not know why they stopped adding enrichment items, it was one of my favourite things in packs/updates. Especially those that contained some unique animations, but I agree that even some natural "reskinned" enrichment would be cool, like more scratching trees...Or maybe reskinned chew toy that look like a log that the dogs could carry around? Or a natural rock that the animals could scratch themselves on. That would be cool.
Let's hope the lack of new enrichment it's because we are getting more animals which will be able to use previous enrichment items: Goat climbing rock, sun bear hammock, dingo small pool...
(I think I repeat this every month since SEA DLC o_O)
 
At first I was "meh" about the Striped Hyena, but I've come to realize this is exactly what I was asking for, just not with the animal I had in a mind. A base game type of animal that we only have one of, that we needed a second of just to give some variation to our zoos. True, I'd kind of used the Masai Giraffe for that idea (and I do still want them) but taking into account that the general idea is coming to fruition in the Striped Hyena has made me reevaluate it. The same for the Blue Wildebeest, but it should surprise no one coming from me that I'm not really excited for it since it's another African Antelope. But the general idea is still the same.

If the game continues on into 2024 I'd like to see more of this in packs over the next two years. Giraffes, Zebra, Kangaroos, African Buffalo, Lions (I know it'd be a sub-sub species), and even DLC animals like the Kangaroo and Lynx. At any rate, definitely appreciating the Hyena in a new light.
 
You guys added the king cheetah and black wolf!! I never thought we'd see them, I'm so impressed and grateful that you added them in, and they look phenomenal!

The butterflies!!! I saw Rudi’s video of one landing on a guest’s finger and it was magical. What a beautiful and unexpected addition to the game.

I love the Planet Zoo team, you all work so hard to keep surprising us with so much more than we could expect. Thank you!

I think they changed the wolf’s name to northwestern wolf to. So it’s a subspecies that’s more specific now

I noticed that in Leaf's video, but since I hadn't seen anyone else call attention to it I wasn't 100% positive whether it was maybe a mod he forgot to disable or something. It's going to be a bit odd if they change the name to something that's equally unrepresentative of its listed Europe/Asia range... if they were going to bother changing it, why not just go for Gray Wolf, full stop? I know that's still not a perfect descriptor of the wolf they are attempting to portray, but that's because the wolf they're trying to portray doesn't exist as a single wolf.

We’ll if they’re going for accuracy.. the closest to the model would be the northwestern wolf. Yes it sucks for representation and being diverse but it could bring more hope for a future Eurasian wolf or something similar
 
Aww no pampas grass? But the animals looks so fantastic Frontier!! Even the hyena look good, but still got puppy eyes but i bet you will fix it because you are amazing! And new variants and colour morph for already included animals??? How awesome.:) (but can you please fix the Asiatic Black bears bug when it always has its mouth open when walking?). I too would like more enrichment items, why no more of these? :(

This is... quite frankly awful news. Europe is already underrepresented as it is. We don’t need to be taking animals away from a continent that so desperately needs them. Really not happy with this decision, unless they plan on adding a Eurasian wolf in for free in the nearest future.
 
Missconception did say "free", as in, not part of a PDLC.
There is no way for free animal except anniversary gift. If frontier give us the third anniversary free animal next year, I hope they give us some "low effort" animals such as Carribbean flamingo, green peafowl, litte blue penguin, etc in order to diversify animal roster. This is just my thought.
