yyyyyep, basically
Spring 2024 DLC Speculation
- Thread starter The Carcharodontogenius
- Start date
Longest final stretch ever
Here is my final guess:
- I do think we will get a monkey
- I do think we will get a baboon
- I think we will get at least two birds, one being the secretary bird at #1 I don’t know the other
- I’m gonna guess 1-2 ungulates
- I’m gonna guess 1-2 Carnivora
Ill admit I am playing it super safe, but I am intentionally trying to think of what is realistic.

its too long time
Ah yes finally, the final countdown to my post dlc rant about frontier allways finding a way of turning my excitement into dissapointment
If anything were to come free I think something in the WTE, base game has nothing which seems odd to me.
Why that many?
You’ve made my day
- Be me
- In between dlc release
- Trying to pass the time on the forum and start a conversation
- Where birds? That needs to be answered, I’ll make a pack for that.
- Hmm, I need to think of animals we don’t have in the game
- “Tropical aviary pack, yeah that’s exactly what I need for PZ!”
- Spend time trying to think of what animals fit what regions, what birds we don’t have, how to get the best diversity and representation in one pack. Also trying to be realistic with what Frontier can do.
- Make a pack that is super cool to me, really get into it.
- Fast forward a couple months, dlc is announced
- It is nothing how I, the main character of the universe and the most important customer in PZ history, would want it.
- MFW I am upset because the pack is nothing like how I expected it
- MFW I did this about 16 times
- MFW I realize I never learned

AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! OY!
5 MONTHS WITHOUT AN UPDATE...will give you such a crick in the neck...
Nah man, frontier just often manages to build a big obvious flaw into their packs, especally last year.Though I will say. I agree with the general consensus where I find the packs we make are actually more fun than what we got

Tropical? Scenery, no South america
Arid? Africa exclusive, 5 ungulates, no baboon, no tortoise
Oceania? Imagine the continent known for crazy small animals perfect for exhibits but chooses a lackluster WTE nobody even heard of
Eurasia? Controversial in dedicating half the pack to europe, fails to make 3 non controversial asian animals with only the takin being non contested, dips on a perfect chance for a bird and monkey for ungulates and a bear
Im not saying packs i dreamed up are without their problems, but last years packs issues are so obvious that it takes active thinking about why that would have been a good decision, for example the fact that thx to arid north african areas are way more flexible and rebuildable then before, making the flaws much more apparent then the stenghts, which makes the decisions quite questionable
Basically half of all the PC community including myself
German Zoos have some of them, for example in Wildpark Schwarze Berge and in Leipzig. You underestimate the vet care there is in a zoo.
Plus, I researched about the virus you mentioned. The (very few) cases that got infected with the virus all got infected due to a alternate host, like pigs.
And we're talking about animals that were bred for generation is a highly controlled enviorement, not wild animals catched from their natural habitat.
The sloth bear is easily the hardest for me to understand. I get that they wanted to throw a bone to india in the eurasia pack, which i think is definetly the right choice.
But the animal choice they chose for it is just so weird to me. India already had 3 bears to chose from, so giving it the 4fth one instead of blackbuck, langur or something is just so bizarre to me. Its wasnt even a super highly requested animal either. Although it was probably one of that took the most amount of effort.
Its like doing an americas pack and the SA representative is another caiman instead of literally anything else
On a more positiv note, it also doesnt take that much to make a pack worthwhile.
Just a few slamdunks can turn a mostly mediocre pack into a good one, just look at grasslands.
We got 3 carnivorans and the least interesting antelope possible, with the armadillo where i got mixed feelings and the 5 butterflies which are amazing but severly held back by the WTE and its flaws, with the only 2 animals id give above a 6/10 being the emu and the wallaby, which both are a clean 20/10, finally giving us the two most important australian species, especally for International zoos.
That was a real game changer for australian areas, even if it were the only banger inclusions they completly carry my perception of the pack.
Something as simple as adding 2 monkeys would easily carry an otherwise completly mid animal pack for me, same thing with a monkey + bird for a scenery pack + obviously the consistently great scenery.
But with frontier tendency even this quite low bar feels very uncertain, which is just sad
