Winter 2023 DLC Speculation

[jcp011c]

I'm also on similar boat. I think SA Animal pack is most likely after mountains, maybe even instead.

Until the stream I see South America and Mountains on 50-50 chance

I’m more:
Alpine/Highland- 40% chance
Tundra 20%
Latin/ Central America: 20%
Eurasia:10%
Something else: 10%

I also think, africa is not overpressented. I mean, when we look at a real zoo, most of the animals are from africa. And I would always welcome more african species. But tbh for this year We got enough african animals. So I would not want another full africa pack NOW. for Sommer 2024? Sure, give me a safari pack. But for now, I think we need a few more animals from SA or Asia.

South America deserves more exhibit species than Africa

I'm still not sure if there is enough cold climate content for an entire year. I can see temperate forests, mountains and tundra at very best.

tundra and mountains as animal packs and temperate forest and MAYBE a Himalaya pack as scenery? Would that work?

Having mountains and himalaya pack would be conflicting. We don't normally get 2 cross over packs like that unless the mountains pack didn't touch the himalayas so it could be like the australia and oceania packs.

Yeah, that was my idea. When We get a himalaya pack, We would Not get a himalaya animal in the highlands pack. Tbh, I also do Not think that this is a really good idea, its just a idea how a year full of cold packs could be

I must be the only one not particularly bothered by birds. I find them a pain due to how much they breed.

Coincidentally, I really wouldn't mind a habitat management tab similar to the exhibits one where species are sold or released to wild automatically.

just give them the pill

South America deserves more exhibit species than Africa

I think that’s one of the hardest things to do with South America, yes there are a number of habitat species that can still be added into the game. Here is a short list off the top of my head:

1. American Flamingo
2. Brown Pelican
3. Burrowing owl
4. Red legged seriema
5. Roseate spoonbill
6. Crested Tinamou
7. Whistling duck
8. Humboldt penguin
9. Sunbittern
10. Agouti
11. Patagonian Mara
12. Vicuña
13. Spectacled bear
14. Black Howler Monkey
15. Spider monkey
16. Golden Lion Tamarin
17. White faced saki
18. Tegu

But one of the issues is South America’s representation through exhibit species, which is an even bigger issue when we only get one exhibit animal at a time. Not to mention flying birds and fish, which as of right now have no way to be represented in game. Edit I do remember that WTE exist, I’m just not gonna hold out hope until Frontier pulls the plug and gives us some.

I'll lend you my forum shield for that, you'll need it
You're not the only one, but we are a minority and I have to say, I'm at a point where I do want some birds. Not necessarily the ones everyone else wants though, the shoebill is just totally overrated for me, for example.

That’s just not right.

It is to me as well. Like i think is cool but i don't see how is a priority or so important that we should get the shoebill.

Don't forget the Brazilian Tapir.

I can only check EAZA but it's also incredible rare in captivity it seems. I'd rather talk about things like the Marabou, if we keep it strictly to "non-flying" birds. Uggly but unique and much more common in captivity.
Let alone all those "clones" like Grey Crowned Crane, American Flamingo etc.

Ngl, it would be my own personal "hate pick" in any pack. Like, I know I'm not the biggest bird fan on earth anyway, but I rarely see them as a wasted slot. The shoebill? Yes. Wasted slot for me personally. I would never use it and I used every other bird in the game. Sooo many better picks. I feel like someone on the forum started the shoebill thing at one point and other people just ran with it because they did not need to think of another bird then.

 

[CharlieXGaming]

Shoebill isn’t as important as other African birds like Secretary or Hornbill, but it’s still cool and it would be a great addition in any pack.

Btw I understand the shoebill but if anyone says the hornbill is overrated, I might lose it.

A hornbill aviary is actually on my to-do list of habitats to build in the next month. Of all the smaller habitat birds, the southern ground hornbill would be my top pick.

Get ready to lose it, then.
But honestly, are they kept anywhere in a non-aviary habitat? Because if we are talking about birds that need a netting, then I got a whole other list. And the hornbill is still not on it, but that's personal preference.
