We're well on our way to having "secondary" versions of many base game species, and greater flamingos really aren't all that common in the US, at least. American flamingos are much more vibrant, and both they and Chilean flamingos would help flesh out the South American roster. That's not to say that an ibis or spoonbill wouldn't also fill those roles, and in a perfect world I'd like to see all three, but it makes sense to me why people would want a second flamingo at this point. It also feels arguably a bit more realistic given Frontier's apparent hesitation to roll out truly unique birds.

Only 2 monkeys and no new antelopes or domestics beyond the dromedary isn't ideal, and I could honestly replace the mountains pack with any number of things, but there we go. 100% on board with the other three, at least.
These are my choices using the mammal/bird/reptile ratio - I used the two free slots for another bird and reptile.

Interim Financial Results are out, and with that comes this.
This time referring to CY2023 instead of FY2023, so whilst it was mostly soft hinted at at the end of the year, we now have at least somewhat of a confirmation that we'll get more DLC in calendar year 2023.

This the best news ever. I’m so glad PZ is still doing so well in sales.Interim Financial Results are out, and with that comes this.

I wonder if the use of CY instead of FY means frontier is undecided on dlc packs in 2024. At least we are getting continued support this yearInterim Financial Results are out, and with that comes this.

As I mentioned in the other topic, if the other "own IP creative management game" is another Planet game, I'd say that it's probably not super likely that we'll get much more in 2024 as I don't really see them supporting multiple Planet games on top of the other ones they have in store (F1 games, Alien Dawn, Warhammer, etc.).
As we all expected, but I like that it is confirmed officialy. I will still hope for more DLCs in 2024, even if it were just 2 until the summer.
There are so many animals that could still be worthy additions that cannot be possibly added in one year and even tho I am very grateful for all the amazing animals and features Frontier has brought to us, i would love if PZ zoopedia would be filled with diversity and even more niche animals, which are at least for me, way more interesting in zoos than the big star animals.

As for free updates, I hope we'll get:Nice! CY2023 means we get 4 more DLCs this year then?! Whoohoo!
I vote for Rainforests, Deserts, Highlands, and... well let's go for something weird: Recently Extinct animals.
- sperm bank + artificial insemination (so you can still use a deceased male, which will help in breeding programs)
- scenario creator
I too vote for a zoo full of dodo, what a way end the gameNice! CY2023 means we get 4 more DLCs this year then?! Whoohoo!

They gave us flying mammals before flying birdsI too vote for a zoo full of dodo, what a way end the game
If they then go and give us extinct birds before even getting to 10 basic zoo birds, I'm going to take it personally

I didn’t fit the 4th habitat bird but I would also really like to see the Great white pelican and Shoebill too.
Also the Black rhinoceros, Spider monkey, Père David’s deer and Gray crowned crane would make a really great Endangered pack for 2024.
Literally threw both fists up in the air after reading this. I'm a pessimist and a skeptic by nature, so I wasn't prepared to take another full year of support for granted even though there were several strong signs. Such exciting news.Interim Financial Results are out, and with that comes this.

Alright, that's 18 mammals, 4 habitat birds and 1 habitat reptile. I think with the two additional spots that can be used for anything, that sets it right..Also 11 of my top 12 mammals because I threw in a bunch of primates that are ranked lower for me, just because I know they are needed and much requested by the community. The biggest thing missing for me here is the lack of Toucans but I couldn't figure out a way to get them in.

Question: CY means current year? This is great! Also I saw JWE2 is going to have more dlcs. I want to be more optimistic that 2024 could be the final farewell to PZ, marking its 5th anniversary. So for next year we will have a new F1 and a new planet game?
Yeah current year. I'm hopeful that planet zoo is wrapping up as this could mean some juicy updates this year if so. Moving onwards another F1 game and a new addition to the planet universe seems most likely
