Yes. Was it about releasing some animals for challange or something like that? I recall seeing zebra post today, but its gone somehow.
Spring 2024 DLC Speculation
- Thread starter The Carcharodontogenius
- Start date
Well, seeing that the souvenir shops are still broken for pc, it doesn't surprise me that they need more time to fix them before porting them to console.
Just seemed like the next community challenge about releasing gold Plains zebra or something like that I think. Sadly I didn't take a screenshot of the whole post, only that part with the bricks
Yup. Definitely related to community challenge about zebras.
I just saw post about it then noticed your post on forum and boom, its gone. Happened very fast.
But why delete the post? 
That's strange. Maybe that was showing a glimpse of an unreleased building set, and they removed the post when they realized that they accidentally left it in the picture? Normally I would think that we're grasping at straws, but the fact that they deleted the post completely is a bit suspicious. I dunno, I guess we'll just have to wait and see. That's definitely pretty weird though.
Tried recreating the picture in like 60 seconds using the twilight masonry walls. A combination of the lighting, angle, photo editing with fov to make the brick wall seem different. Getting past the blur on the building, the brick pattern matches the masonry wall which explains the multi colored bricks.
That’s what I’m thinking, originally I thought they posted the wrong challenge for the week but nope it’s the right one. So strange…
Still doesn’t look like a match to me.
Seriously, guys. I'm looking forward to the arrival of PZ2, I've always tolerated the limitations imposed by the original engine.
Im 90 percent sure its the masonry wall, I don't really want to spend my evening trying to match a now deleted picture to show we are or aren't getting a new wall

But let's say a new brick wall is coming, why another brick wall?! Big brick obviously has control over frontier stopping us getting the horizontal stained wood walls.
I dont know how relevant this is, but masonry wall requires 8 bricks to cover entire window height, whereas new one requires 9 bricks.
Yeah I'm not sure why they would bring in another one, the whole thing is pretty confusing to me. I just know that it's really strange that they removed the post.
Wow, I've been away from PZ for a little while and I see I missed some stuff...
If end of support really is nigh, I'm pretty disappointed. The game feels half-finished.
The point I'm driving at here is that it's too hard to build a nice zoo, which is surely what this game is all about. Sometimes this feels like Planet Builder with animals thrown in. If there is a PZ2, I hope this is addressed, because after all the time and money spent on this game, I feel really disappointed if it's going to be left like this. I wish it was easier and more accessible for ordinary players like me to just knock pieces together and build great-looking habitats. I would like more interactions for guests like feeding stations and viewing binoculars. I would like better, more consistent and realistic animal signs, not pieces of a badger, or a salamander playing a musical instrument. I would like more enrichment for animals. I would like guests that actually behave like real people at a real zoo, and don't get upset because they're staring at an animal that's two miles away when there's another one standing right in front of their faces. In short, I want more stuff to build realistic zoos. It rankles me that I can build a silly diorama thing with a mechanical kangaroo or a ten-foot-high meerkat statue on it, but I can't have the things listed above. There's too much gimmicky stuff and not enough for building realistic zoos. And if I have to buy a whole new PZ2 just to start all over again, that feels a little frustrating at this point.
I'm happy for those that wanted console. I just hope this isn't it for PC players. People are saying there's going to be one more DLC, so maybe it'll be amazing, and if it is I'm well prepared to come back to this post and eat humble pie. But it'd have to be pretty darn amazing.
Meh. Apologies for the rant. I have well over 1500 hours in this game, and I love it. It's just that it has so much more potential than has been realised right now, and I think that's a shame.

- No flying birds
- No fish/rays/aquariums
- Hardly any monkeys
- No petting zoo mechanics
- A lack of distinct exhibit species such as chameleons, cobras, geckos, pythons, colourful tree snakes
- No ability to build nocturnal houses, because you can never totally block light from entering the building (and even if you could there's a lack of small mammals you could house in it)
- No gridded mesh pieces and other varieties of log walls, stone walls etc for making habitats
- Animals that are crying out for updates - if not to their design, to their sizing. "Giant" tortoises etc are just far too small.

I mean I don’t mind a new brick wall it’s not completely useless compared to other sets, but I agree there are more important sets we need like the horizontal wood walls.
Do you want your crow medium or medium well sir?
While I'm starting to think Captain is right, there is something with the alignment of the stones that looks different to me. But I guess the angle might be tricky
I mean new bricks will always be usefull so i wouldnt be mad about it.
Who knows with it being the final, and assumed larger DLC, maybe it has more then one wall set?
