Fantasy Pack Build 🤷

Great News! Frontier has just announced that they will be adding 15 new packs to their Planet Zoo line up. But, they need help with creative directorn after their team lead got eaten by a Tasmanian Devil. It's up to you to design the packs!

Quick! - Put your line up below:

( A just for fun exercise, birds, exhibits rework, aquaria, and more are allowed. Pls keep it to irl and non extinct species. Scenery and animal packs are allowed, as are anniversary animals. Please stick to the 4 +1 and 7 + 1 format. I just think it's nice for people to come up with what they want to see in the game, please have fun)

Do you wanna kill me? I barely manage a pack a day in my own threat
Anyways fun idear, and i sure hope that atleast the first part will ring true. I can totally see this game recieving support for another 4 years i mean why not?
Its not like they can run out of scenery or animals

You want the PZ team to be eaten by a Tassie devil? Woah, sick...


Ok, lemme try this, then. Keeping in mind current mechanics (and I won't go into super detail like I sometimes do). This'll be a while before I manage anything yet, but I'll be thinking...

I thought a bit of creative positivity might be a fun change from speculating that we only have 1-4 packs left. I would love for people to have fun with it and not be stressed that they're missing out on their must haves. It's going to take me a bit to put something together

Oh don't worry, I'll be thinking and researching for a few days myself
 
I would break the pattern for the last year of content with a pack to clean up WE birds, finish off smaller exhibits, add domestics, and give a community send-off. If it were up to me:

Anniversary: Bighorn Sheep
  • Amazon Animal Pack: Howler Monkey, Golden Lion Tamarin, South American Coati, Southern Tamandua, Scarlet Ibis, Bush Dog, Brazilian Porcupine, Macaws in WE
  • Safari Pack: Secretary Bird, Hamadryas Baboon, Nile Crocodile, Serval, Safari Scenery, Ruppell’s Griffon Vulture in Exhibit
  • Polar Animal Pack: Wolverine, Walrus, Musk Ox, Sea Otter, Arctic Hare, Pine Marten, Rockhopper Penguin, Snowy Owl in Exhibit
  • Temperate Forest Pack: American Black Bear, Wild Boar, Short Beaked Echidna, Wisent, Eurasian Eagle owl in exhibit, Cabins and Camping scenery
Anniversary: Cotton Top and Emperor Tamarins
  • Alpine Animal Pack: Spectacled Bear, Greater Rhea, Marmot, Markhor, Chamois, Pallas’s cat, Barbary Macaque, Eagles in exhibit
  • Central America Pack: Collared Peccary, Geoffroy’s Spider Monkey, Ocelot, Roseate Spoonbill, Toucans in WE, Latin American scenery
  • South Asia Animal Pack: Blackbuck, Honey Badger, Nilgai, Sloth Bear, Fishing Cat, Grey Langur, Lion Tailed Macaque, Hornbills in WE and/or Cobra
  • Coastal Pack: Sea Turtle, Manatee, Great White Pelican, Brown Fur Seal, Pacific NW Scenery, a few aquatic exhibit animals
Anniversary: Kinkajou
  • Outback Animal Pack: Perentie, Greater Bilby, Yellow Footed Rock Wallaby, Grey Kangaroo, Black Swan, Brushtail Possum, Numbat, Lorikeets in WE
  • Children’s Zoo Pack: Patagonian Mara, Muscovy Duck, Dwarf Goat, Squirrel Monkey, Budgies in WE, playgrounds, kiddie-themed walls, carousel, more education stations
  • East Asia Animal Pack: Golden Takin, Golden Snub Nosed Monkey, Golden Pheasant, Silver Pheasant, Mandarin Duck, Reeves’s Muntjac, Raccoon Dog, Japanese Giant Salamander in Exhibit
  • Feathered Friends Pack: Mute Swan, Southern Ground Hornbill, Grey Crowned Crane, Wood Duck, more WE birds instead of scenery
Anniversary: De Brazza’s Guenon and Wolf’s Guenon
  • Reptile House Pack: Spurred Tortoise, Giant Asian Pond Turtle, Chinese Alligator, Lace Monitor, exhibit animals instead of scenery
  • Barnyard Expansion: ~12 domestic species and scenery

Edited to add: Farewell pack would definitely contain a tree kangaroo (can't believe I forgot it) and something from each continent.

You included the bilby, pretty much a perfect roster here! I love to see it.
 
New World Monkey Pack
  1. Bolivian squirrel monkey.
  2. Colombian red howler.
  3. White-faced saki.
  4. Geoffroy's spider monkey.
  5. Golden lion tamarin (WTE).
Building theme would be based on the Brazilian favelas, so a lot of bright colours and ramshackle materials, with possibly Spanish Mission style pieces in there as well. I'd envision it coming with a new set of climbing equipment, plus ropes, elevated nest boxes which function like burrows, and all the new trees would be climbable (with broken variations, so they can still be used as 'generic' trees).

Feathered Animal Pack
  1. Great white pelican.
  2. Himalayan monal.
  3. Gentoo penguin.
  4. Grey crowned crane.
  5. Magpie goose.
  6. Darwin's rhea.
  7. Mute swan.
  8. Rainbow lorikeet/dusky lory/red lory/scaly-breasted lorikeet/musk lorikeet (WTE).
The free update accompanying this pack would come with the highly-coveted chain-link and square mesh building sets so casual players can easily build faux aviaries without all the hassle. I'd also include duckweed in this pack.

Middle East Pack
  1. Hamadryas baboon.
  2. Arabian oryx.
  3. Rock hyrax.
  4. Honey badger.
  5. Veiled chameleon (E) OR Egyptian vulture (WTE).
I'd prefer our first chameleon be a tropical, arboreal species, so I think I'd go for the vulture. All it would do is sit in one spot most of the time and occasionally flap down to eat, but that's still better than nothing. The building theme would be a bit of a twist - since the Africa Pack already gave us a fairly decent "Arabic" style build set, this one would instead give us a new modern set based on the architecture of places like Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Very sleek, very modern, very versatile.

India Animal Pack
  1. Blackbuck.
  2. Sloth bear.
  3. Lion-tailed macaque.
  4. Fishing cat.
  5. Demoiselle crane.
  6. Nilgai.
  7. Gaur.
  8. King cobra (E).
We'd get a few additional pieces to supplement the base game Indian theme, and the free update would make those Indian walls flexicolour.

Barnyard Pack
  1. African pygmy goat.
  2. Kunekune pig.
  3. Shetland pony.
  4. Zebu.
  5. Crested dove (WTE).
The building theme would be "Barnyard" with all that entails. There would also be a new wooden slat barrier, barnyard scenery like stationary vehicles, hay bales, a water well, and so on, and naturally some kind of facility you attach to the side of the habitat barrier which allows guests to hand-feed certain species (this would also include the llama, but not the Bactrian camel). The crested dove as an exhibit animal is a weird choice, I admit, but pigeons and doves are the most obvious domestic animal I could think of for an exhibit, since if we abide by Frontier's rules, wouldn't include small mammals (and the WTE is way too big for something like rabbits or guinea pigs IMO).

Arboreal Animal Pack
  1. De Brazza's monkey.
  2. Southern tamandua.
  3. North American porcupine.
  4. Margay.
  5. White-nosed coati.
  6. Godfellow's tree kangaroo.
  7. Coquerel's sifaka.
  8. Jackson's chameleon (E).
Honestly I'd have preferred the Brazilian porcupine to the North American, but the pack is already South America-heavy. We'd be looking at a few more climbing pieces and climbable foliage here.

Highland Pack
  1. Spectacled bear.
  2. Markhor.
  3. Gelada.
  4. Alpine marmot.
  5. Kea (WTE).
The theme here would be Himalayan, with Buddhist temple vibes and scenery (prayer wheels, prayer flags, and so on). I actually wanted to include the chamois or urial or another caprine instead of the marmot, but I don't know, it didn't feel viable.

Northern Animal Pack
  1. Muskox.
  2. Raccoon dog.
  3. Japanese serow.
  4. Snow goose.
  5. Walrus.
  6. European wildcat.
  7. Wolverine.
  8. Atlantic puffin (WTE) or Japanese fire-bellied newt (E) or Chinese giant salamander (E).
Bit of a grab-bag pack to get in a few highly-requested and talked-about animals. The snow goose was a wildcard but I wanted a bird, and the other options were the Siberian crane or whooping crane, both of which are kind of similar to the red-crowned crane. Take your pick for the exhibit animal. I imagine the puffin would be the first choice, but I love both the other ones, too.

That's all I can think of on a whim.

I would be keen for so many of the packs here! Please give me the mesh and chain pieces, and that modern Dubai pack sounds great. Fantastic animal choices too, I am off to go an research the Nilgai
