yeah that wont happen if it is bigger we will get quantity over quality tree kangaroo and echidna wont happen and will just be lots of the same or similar types of animal like 3 types of deer or 5 frogs something to fill out the roster without much more effort
Spring 2024 DLC Speculation
- Thread starter The Carcharodontogenius
- Start date
Getting 5 types of exhibit animals might work, if they're macaws. There would be more going on than with the butterflies of course, and I doubt it would happen, but if it were to happen, they'd be the birds I'd think it would happen with.
So maybe a Latin American pack:
Coati
Howler Monkey
Rhea
Patagonian Mara
Ocelot
American Flamingo or a second primate. Second primate should probably be the priority but I can see them going with the Flamingo instead.
Spectacled Bear
5 Macaws.
I'd gladly take the Brazilian Porcupine over several of these, but given we'd almost certainly get the Coati in a Latin American themed pack (I shudder to think of the reaction if we didn't!) as well as a primate (again, I can't imagine the reaction to a LA pack with no primate). BP seems a real stretch on time and resources. Although...time wise..maybe. Who knows. I definitely would be okay without the Ocelot, I just figure it's a shoe-in, since it's a cat, and a small sized cat for a continent that doesn't have a small sized cat
I doubt macaws will happen but i can see hummingbirds being a similar situation to butterflies. And they would fit in an américas pack as well. And i also think they would work as the standalone type of flying birds we get.
But yeah when we talk about a larger pack with 12 animals we are mostly talking 10-11 habitat animals not four exhibit animals that are basically the same with different skins.
5 ungulates or carnivorans, sure. But I doubt there'd be much overlap outside of maybe two species fitting the same general grouping (like how Arid had two antelope).
Also, I'm probably in the minority here, but I'd kill for 5 more frog species tbh.
They didn't specify how many DLCs, and the PZ console port was it's own category in that presentation, not even confirmed as Planet Zoo then. June is the more typical time after Easter, but is not this financial year.
The current Frontier publisher sale does look like attempting to increase the customers for the nearish future, which might be what they'd want to do if they had more expensive finale DLCs lined up for both games. There's also the next F1 game in midyear, but that's pretty much all there seems to be in the next few months.
The issue with hummingbirds I feel is that, they are very rarely kept in groups as they are highly territorial.
There are zoos that have hummingbirds houses/aviaries.
I don't see the problem for PZ though? We have unrealistic species already like the saiga, proboscis monkey and the Brown throated sloth.
And hummingbirds would be WTE animals so the group dynamics in play for habitat animals don't apply to them i believe. Is not like they are going to fight each other in the game. They just would move in loops haha

this isnt an issue plenty of animals already in planet zoo are territorial the most common max social groups is 2
I've always thought it would be fun to start with a zoo in like, the early 1900s, and you have to update it throughout the ages. And as the years go on you get access to the newer building sets, animal species, enrichment items, advertising programs, etc.
Look You Can Make A Walkthrough Habitat With Giant Anteater Without Guests Freaking Out.
Unlike In-game, Real Giant Anteaters Are Not Safe For Guests To Walk Around, As, Due To Their Long, A Sharp Claws, They're Potentially Dangerous And A zookeeper Had A Fatal Accident in 2007. I Think More Than 2 Hummingbirds Per WTE Box Is Fine.
Any predictions when we will hear some news?
Dlc is gonna drop before the end of may, thats the only information we have really
Not sure if this was already discussed, but I just discovered some concept art and looks like there was some unused animal signs in Southeast Asia pack. These would be so cool for realistic directions signs, too bad they were scrapped...
And some more unsued ones, I think only the monkey one was used? Such a shame, these are so cute.

People complain about stuff being unrealistic but now all of a sudden a hummingbird walkthrough is fine because we have other unrealistic stuff? I know these do exist in real life but I feel like when people have suggested this in the past they imagine it being similar to the butterfly walkthroughs but in reality hummingbird management is very tough.
You cannot keep more than one male hummingbird together, they are fiercely territorial birds and will fight. Many of the hummingbird aviaries that exist tend to have only one individual (with breeding behind the scenes if there is any) or be made of multiple species with no breeding. Even so, the famous hummingbird house at San Diego had to be built in a strange shape with enough angles that would stop the birds from seeing each other as much to reduce aggression.
I think hummingbirds would be a nice addition to the game but putting a bunch in a walkthrough like how they are right now would in real life cause a blood bath. I find it interesting how people harp on about realism but for this people don't care lol.

Bird desperation does that to a fella, I don’t need realism anymore. Give me those birds!
I don't think it's about not caring as much as it is about very niche knowledge that most people just don't know. I personally had never heard of this aspect, so I'm not surprised if you're among only a handful of people in the community who know this.
It's more like the brown-throated sloth once in high demand because it's very iconic, but then it got overtaken by the Linnaeus two-toed sloth once the community realised that's the one most commonly kept in captivity.
Dude! Why didn't they give green light for the bear on the bottom left!Not sure if this was already discussed, but I just discovered some concept art and looks like there was some unused animal signs in Southeast Asia pack.

Imagine how much versatility it would have for the number of bear species that are in the game
