You missunderstood my Question and I've just noticed it from reading it again how easily this can happen. What I actually wanted to know, was how long the old DLCs remain discounted after the Release of a new one

😅 sorry about that, discounts last for a week from the dlc release date. So in case, until the 26th September.

This pack is amazing just as all before it in my opinion.

But please remember [removed ping just in case] that not everyone of us is a builder so it would be amazing if you could provide us with exact fully build maps shown in trailers. I was so moved by the Tropical pack and Oceania pack trailers and the scenario maps was nothing like it.

Some of us would like to just move our animals into beautiful ready made zoos. It would be amazing if we could finally get them one day 🙏🏽 Especially the Tropical pool which was amazing in the trailer and was not in the scenario map.

this words it better than I could've thought of. Day-to-day life has left me just too drained to build my own zoos from scratch, so nowadays I only ever built off the same scenario map (Yamaguchi) over and over and over again. Then I inevitably burn out and then don't touch PZ for months. It's not fun.

Update and pack are pretty cool, but frontier may i ask, whats this?
"Animals also won't get stressed from being viewed from within a Viewing Dome"
Why? I understand that we only get sometimes updates to the management parts of the game like the sociality system which was awesome, but why are new features often activly steered against punishing players for bad management?
Why shouldnt animals be stressed by some weird humans staring at them from a glas bowl? Having them increase their stress means that you actually gotta think where to put it from a management perspective to give your visitors a good view and not torment the animals by the lack of their privacy.
This also bugged me with the whole animals can eat trash from garbage bins now but dont worry theyll wont get ill or something, which literally invalidated that new behavior as it removed all the consequence of it and with that any reason why it should be in the game, as lets be honest nobodys gonna watch their animals do that activly as its only relevant when an animal escaped, something they shouldnt do in the first place, so it would make sense as an extra punishment with longer lasting consequence from that mistake as not only did it stress the animal and your guests, the animal is also ill now.
Its allways cool to get new features, the bubble is cool and that animals actually can do something when escaped is also cool, but why not use them to tie into the other aspects of the game for stronger management instead of just ignoring management?
Ik that this game is not management focused, its a top class building game and my favorite one at that, and these 2 things wont make or break the management side of the game, but it does show the general mindset towards it and its sad to see.
This really is my only nit pick about the update though, otherwise everything here is a strong 10/10, so keep going that strong!

Absolutely agree

Ok, will most likely not be able to purchase until then, but it will still be within my Budget without the Discounts.
I should just see it as positive as possible. Paying more = more Money for Frontier :3
Thanks for the Information anyways though 😊

Just curious about the campaign, but are there any voice lines, like the Arctic campaign had?

I actually miss the voice lines and, although the new campaigns are nice, I'd like them more if we could hear Bernie and friends talk again

The update and DLC are really fun to play, but I have been wondering if it would be able to get smaller glass dome entrance? The current one is really massive, I have never seen such huge doors (I have also noticed that the PVC curtain door from the Twillight is also really huge). It would be great to have a normal human sized doors to not break immersion.

In my Opinion we need the PVC Curtain in many different Sizes. I want to use those in most Connections between Indoor and Outdoor Enclosures where I need to keep warm or cold Air inside

I really like this pack! It's nice having another pack to focus on smaller animals and add some much needed representation for Australia/Oceania. I was a little apprehensive about the Polynesian architecture at first because I was worried it would be too similar to the Indonesian Architecture. I was pleasantly surprised by how distinct and nice it is! I love the quokkas, blue penguins, and especially the kiwis. They have such adorable little squeaks. The scenario was fun, and a good balance of challenging. Getting Tasmanian Devils to live long enough to breed, even in easy mode, was a challenge. I think this might be the true lower limit of how long habitat animals can live in the game. While none of the animals were in my top 25 (kiwi was close, though!), I really like them and think they are good additions. Thanks for all of your hard work to bring so many awesome critters to the game!

I'm still hoping we'll see tree kangaroos and echidnas at some point. Maybe perenties, rock wallabies, bilbies, possums, and black swans, too? I tried building an Oceania-only zoo in Franchise mode, and I think there is room for a few more things. Hopefully support will continue long enough to bring them all!

Do we know the water-depth required for the little penguins to be able to dive in? My pool is already starting look ridiculous deep for the small bird and I haven't seen any diving yet

I have just built a pool for little penguins, about 1.84m deep and they are diving.

Weird. I have now completely messed up my pool to try and get it to work, and I have seen zero diving so far. 4m wall for scale.

Let's just make all the animals float. Then we have "flying" things.

When I say all, I mean all - Elephants and Spiders too. Eh, maybe not the centipede. It's too much for me as is, I don't think I need that image in my mind.
