Tapir (I refuse to say it plural)
Planet Zoo: Eurasia Animal Pack arriving 13 Dec ❄️
- Thread starter Lydiah Moon
- Start date
I think Aardvark, Rhinos and maybe Playtpus could work too.
Ough, this is an adorable idea. Going to have to second the tapir and aardvark. If we wanna count beaks as noses than the kiwi should work well. My guy can probably smell someone from halfway across the world. Definitely the gharial as well.
I have no idea what you mean by covered habitats but what im hoping for is that the modular giftshops tech means that they can finally make moudlar exhibits so they dont all have to use the 4x4 box of shame.
we have the american white birch people want a european version
Grasslands is definitely better for a couple of reasons. The animals here are only really useful to eurasian zoos compared to grasslands that had animals from every continent and alot of biomes stretching from tundra to desert. Also compared to the tortoise the butterflies are objectively better not only because there was move of them but the filled a much more valuable niche in zoos the butterfly house which people had been making and designing well before we actually got butterflies. This pack was good but not grasslands good.
You do realise that gift shops are going to be base game right. Also the mute swan was the most voted for waterfowl so calling it a bad choice among waterfowl is wrong. The boar coming right after the peccary wasnt a bad choice because without the boar we wouldnt have gotten the peccary since the anniversary animal is something the are not going to spend a lot of resources on the peccary only happened because the were already working on a swine rig of the right shape and size.
Your trying to be objective and failing because you use the argument I havent seen it in zoos at least twice for animals that are common in zoos especially european zoos the boar and swam and the takin is not the most common in zoos but it is by no means rare I have seen them before and many other people have been asking for it for a while now.
The fact that you call a bear that shares in zoo niches with 2 other already ingame animals and is from the most oversaturated bear region a good choice when your so harsh on the boar and takin when they are so much more versatile in a zoo setting than the bear clearly just show your bias.
We are also never getting free flight birds in the game at this point it is probably impossible for them to physically do so stop hating on the game because it doesnt have your precious flying birds any true bird fan would be happy for the swams inclusion not resentful.
This pack has problems sure but its not a 5/10. They were as loose as possible with the term eurasia including both asian and european endemic animals which went a bit against the theme even though still technically correct. The pack was also very ungulate heavy again, all great ungulate choices just another very biased roster. I also think how the structured the teasers for the pack was poorly done but that has nothing to do with the pack itself.

Oh so just like with the animals
I have to say that the video made me feel emotional in a way I didn’t expect.
I said before that I am really appreciative of the fact that Planet Zoo isn’t just an ABC zoo game. I get that some people might prioritise other species but it means a huge amount to me that I can build the kind of zoo I really love without having to resort to mods.
Also the wisent is absolutely magnificent. It really shows how it’s not just like the American bison and it’s probably my favourite animal of the pack and close to being my favourite of the whole game.

So why did they make the wisent the headliner?
Rhino. No.
IDK! I think wisent looks amazing in the Concept art. He is the most majestic looking/classic wildlife animal. Represents Europe very well!

Because it is the perfect example for a European Conservation story
Maybe also a bit to show off how far they have come since basegame. The American Bison and the Wisent are in each their end of the quality spectrum
PZ has been by far the best zoo game for getting the kinds of small and medium-sized mammals that the first two Zoo Tycoon games mostly ignored. The two major deficits (excluding aviaries and aquariums) are with habitat birds and monkeys, both of which have themselves gotten pretty poor representation in most zoo games. ZT1's bird roster was literally just the ostrich, flamingo, and emperor penguin, and ZT2's only added the peafowl, secretary bird, and rockhopper penguin.
Cause big bison do be cool and impressive.
We also do not have a bovid headliner so far so its quite the natural choice
32 more hours until release! Make room in your market place! What's your priorities?
I want 5 pairs of Wolverine
3 pairs of Swan
3 2 pairs of Wild Boar
for starters...that's going to be all the space I have available right away.
Also exciting for the launch/release trailer! The reveal trailer is so beautiful, I think the release trailer will be too.

I have already prepared a space for the European animals, but I am unsure where to put the swan, sloth bear, and saiga.
Do you think that we will see new dlc video from YouTubers today?
Sloth bears, Wild boar (I guess) and Swans...
I believe it's around 12-13 PM BST. I'm waiting eagerly as well ^^ Can't wait to see all the new things and see for real how the new gift shop functions.
Building wise Sloth Bear, but I will put the boar in another zoo in an already finished habitat, just to look at it. And I might do so with the Wisent as well, just need to look at my zoos etc.
If I can find the wherewithal to start a game, out of the new pack my biggest priority is definitely putting "wild" swans in. Beyond that I have wild dreams of doing a Himalayan section with red pandas, snow leopards, and probably now takins, and recreating Wellington Zoo's Southeast Asia corner except making it India with the Bengal tiger in place of the Sumatran (because curse the obsession with Bengal tigers in zoo games) and the sloth bear instead of the sun bear.
