Heyo Zookeepers!

To go along with the Latin America Pack that we announced yesterday, a variety of new features will also be coming to you in Update 1.17!

Elevators
View attachment 369294

Our biggest feature this update are elevators! You will be able to make your structures more complex by using elevators to get guests across every part of your buildings!

These will work in a similar manor to the restaurants. You will place two different guest points directly on top of each other, once your guests enter, they will spawn at the other connected point.

Animal Territory Behaviours
Your animals will also be getting a pretty big upgrade in terms of behaviors. Some of your animals will now be more territorial and want to protect their parts of the enclosure as their own or protect their food.

Two of the biggest additions to this are striped skunks being able to spray parts of their enclosure to warn off other skunks, or capuchin monkeys stealing others food and taking off into the trees with it!

Red River Hog Variants

View attachment 369298
Recently we’ve been adding more patterns and variations to animals to make them more unique, and we’re not stopping here! This time we’re adding a few more variants to the Red River Hog!

Let me know what you guys think!
A word of caution to mention mod pictures are likely gonna be removed by a moderator.

Update 1.19 & Arboreal Pack arriving on September 24th!

Heyo Zookeepers!

Summer is winding down so we’re on the move again in our animal adventure! Huh, looks like we’ve somehow ended up in the forest, wonder what we’ll find in here…

5 new animals
We haven’t found anything yet, oh wait! Look up there!

American Black Bear

1696474112947.jpeg

While not an animal that strictly lives in the trees, black bears spend a lot of their time up in the branches searching for food and sleeping in the summer.

Black Handed Spider Monkey

1696474280522.jpeg

Moving on to a species whom cannot live without the power of the forest, the spider monkey. Spider Monkeys have a very unique way of moving with their long arms and prehensile tail.

Goodfellows Tree Kangaroo

1696474532461.jpeg

Perhaps one of the most unique animals of the world, tree kangaroos are alike no other, they are excellent in the rainforest and are very skilled climbers.

Brazilian Porcupine

1696474942520.jpeg

Very different from its African counterpart, this species of porcupine is another extremely unique animal. Prehensile tail, bare soles and curved claws help this animal move across the branches no problem.

Panther Chameleon (E)

1696475058624.jpeg

A striking species, chameleons of all types are some of the most interesting creatures of this world. The Panther chameleon is said to be the most colourful of all the chameleon species!

180+ Forest-Friendly Scenery Pieces
Explore the forest even further by teaming with the environment, using new wooden pieces to fit with the lush vibe of the woods. Horizontal log wall set, new wooden branch beams, eco friendly totem poles, and a variety of new forest shrubs and trees!

Let me know what you think!

Well, this has been a really fun read so far! (And I may or may not be comparing it to my own list I started the other day, haha.)

If this is what we have coming, I'd be pretty happy about the bulk of it! Just kinda hope I don't have to wait so long for the tree kangaroo. ;)

No offence to anyone who posted their own ideas I love reading them all but the main point of this thread was for you guys to share your thoughts on my ideas, make slight changes to what I chose, not make completely new ideas instead. I swear I don’t mean to be mean or anything, just saying.
Happens far too often, must annoy the OP in every thread.

Unfortunately, this is now a bandwagon, I suppose.
