🐾Planet Zoo - Update 1.14 coming 20 June🐾

I was thinking arid in the broader sense...could include dry shrubland. Tazzies can live in dry coastal forests and the north coast can be pretty dry. Not sure where exactly the line is scientifially drawn between arid and desert but it's a possible interpretation that it could include shrubland...
Those shrublands are only dry in comparison to the rest of the island, they're still far from being arid or even semi-arid. I possibly want the Tasmanian devil more than anyone else on this forum but this is a stretch at best.

Yeah you're right...it was a stretch. Honey badger instead perhaps?
 
Staff Flexicolour

New season, new wardrobe! With the addition of Staff Flexicolour options for your Zoos, you'll be able to customise the colour combinations of your staff's uniforms, allowing for a whole new range of possibilities. These options will allow you to create custom colour schemes for your favourite members of staff through their individual info panel, or select different colourways for each staff type through the Staff Overview screen so you can get an at-a-glance overview of where they are in your zoo. The decision is yours!
I am so absolutely freakin' excited about this!

Zoos often have a specific color for their uniforms and I've been waiting for years to be able to give my staff members the colors of my zoos! Love it so much, thank you so so so much :D

All the other stuff is awesome too, I can't wait to get my hands on this amazing update! Well done 👏
 
The dichotomy here is amusing. The handful of content creators are frothing at the bit to get this update, and everyone else is like, "Meh."

Hopefully the DLC will have more to offer for the average player.
Unfortunately i have to agree. The staff customization is cool but nothing really that exciting and the spitting is neat but seems more like a gimmick that you are checking out 1 time and never see again.
The camera option and tours seem oddly specificly targeted towards youtubers to polish their cinematic shots and probably isnt something that the average player will ever use.
Would have really enjoyed 1 more feature that actually impactes gameplay :/

Yeah I was really hoping for something more substantial. I will definitely make use of the staff colour customisation because that kind of immersion is fun, but like the dioramas and other features before, I'm never going to use the new camera options. I haven't even watched a PZ YouTube video in ages, I honestly forgot they were even a thing.
 
Is it possible that the focus on video in the update is a sort of compromise for the pack being an animal pack? (if it turns out to be that).

Animal packs are (often) less popular among the content creators (or at least some portion of them). So perhaps this is Frontier's way of trying to spread things out and provide something for everyone. (or at least, something for several different groups).

That would make sense! Even if they aren’t a bulk of the player base, the content creators are very important especially for this community. I’m just hoping the certain lack of gameplay features in the new update means the new animals will be cool 👀
 
I do agree with some here that this is not the strongest freelc and certainly aimed are creators.

I thing frontier moving forward should keep the balance between builders, animal lovers and creators.

Heck all they would need to do was add triangle mesh, some more child aimed education devices, a photo booth, signage of the same type for more animal variety.

Or a free animal for the walk in exhbit like another type of bat.

The uniforms is a nice touch but rather than just flexicolour why can't we get different designs and styles and hats etc


Anyway we will see. I still think frontier do a great job.
 
Question that idk if anyone’s asked yet (so if it’s been asked, I apologize). When you say that the Dama Gazelle will be part of the pack, do you mean the Dama as in N. dama dama, or do you mean one of the Dama subspecies (N. dama mhorr [the Mhorr Gazelle] or N. dama ruficollis [the Addra Gazelle])? Only asking because the Dama Gazelle currently is captivity in only one facility in the world, whereas the Mhorr and Addra Gazelles are (relatively speaking) much more common in breeding programs across Europe and North America. Also because none of the three of them look the same; the Mhorr in particular is distinctly different in appearance from the Dama and the Addra.
 
Staff Flexicolor

That's all I love about this update. But a I have a question Frontier. When you say you will be able to customize the color combinations of your staff's uniforms. Is it known only to the healers as in the photo or is it the vets and maintenance agents and healers and all the others... ?


If not, I also hope that there will be plenty of corrections.
 
Hopefully update 1.14 gives the Fennec fox access to the burrow. It would be the perfect occasion to add that. Please! I'm hoping the sand cat also has access to them.

Had a thought just now and sorry if it's been discussed already. With the new scenario coming that looks like it may use the Sandstone building set, I wonder if they'll sneak in a flexicolor option. Of all the sets, I think that's the one that's most been lamented for not having flexicolor.
That would raise the pack for me several points, I can tell you...

This just makes me think we need a desert variant for the burrows... ones made from sand instead of dirt.

In case you didn't catch it, they've confirmed the gazelle in question is the Addra Gazelle subspecies... although why they don't call it Addra Gazelle wasn't answered yet.
