I agree! The only thing that gave me hope for them is the appearance of "civet" in the Planco translation thing. It could be for binturong though...
Summer 2024 DLC Speculation
- Thread starter Leaf Productions
- Start date
No big disagree
I like more "uique" sign groups but when they are just for 5-8 animals at a time that do not even allways fit together thats just meh
Id would be something entirly different if the sign themes where extended to fitting animals, for example i personally really like the australian road signs, but why arent there any for saltie, emu and wombat?
Stuff like that makes them quite useless because if you want a cohesive theme for an area its allways just good for one dlc and thats just boring
I Get That. If Only We Could Have Both.
One could wonder how both SA pack and Aquatic pack were supposed to look with Giant Otter being in SA pack.
If forced to choose between one or the other, I'd much prefer we just got signs in the present style consistently. The stylized ones are fine but it drastically limits their use and cohesion the second you veer into a different form of theming. Especially when they go for a different material or style (e.g., NA is super cartoony).
That's actually something that I'm low-key hoping comes in a final update: "Current" sign styles for maybe not all but a bunch of prior animals. Especially for those in early DLCs that didn't get proper signs.

- New world monkey
- Baboon
- Duck
- Coati
- South American bird species, can be the pink trio or Rhea. I lean to more of the pink guys but hey it is what it is
- Pelican
The signs we have gotten since wetlands are 100% perfect if they change it out of nowhere my sadness will be immeasurable.
I would definitely want the 10-12, but here's the eight that are an absolute nessecity to me.
1. New World Primate (Howler/Spider Monkey)
2. Coatimundi
3. Tree Kangaroo
4. Reeve's Muntjac
5. Coquerel's Sifaka
6. Spectacled Bear
7. Mantled Guereza
8. Two-Toed Sloth (WE)
I will say, the puffin exhibit at the North Carolina Zoo I think can be recreated in game.
Puffins don’t fly much in captivity, it wouldn’t look to unrealistic. I bet you could even reuse one of the penguin rigs and it could work out. Or maybe use the rig of the Swan juvenile.
Either way, I think they could make some awesome oddball birds!
Here is a picture I took of the habitat, isn’t it so cool?

Yeah, those are amazing! And they're so "simple" that it makes you wonder why they opted to cut them out. I have similar thoughts around a few pieces we've seen in concept art over the years (those simple but great SEA signs are another example).Oh man, those anti-collision bird signs for glass. I have been asking for these forever, so sad these did not make it in.
And TBH what I find super interesting about this specific shot is that this was concept art for the SA pack but it more closely resembles what we got for the Tropical Pack and the Oceania pack rather than the SA pack!
In one of Rudi's recent speculation-focused videos he actually mentions that one of the final PlanCo packs (2nd to last) felt like it was filled with "leftover" pieces (or ideas) from other packs. And I'll be really curious to see if we wind up with something similar for Planet Zoo. Because there's a few things in here that would be great and are pretty "general."
funnily enough dodo is not in the dictionary even though we have a dodo statue
Yeah I can see some of them like baboon and unicorn being used in this way guests getting confused or mistaken.
The word hybrid is in the dictionary so who knows
yeah the over 200 tag would definitely be a good marketing term I believe anything over 196 would also make it the biggest roster of any zoo game also another great tag line.It's just what sounds better when they advertise their game. "A zoo game with 199 unique animal species" or: "A zoo game with 200 unique animal species"? Even better "over 200"
Ok, I have a genuine question:
How many of y'all actually use the rides in-game? I've barely used them, only the 4×4 safari tour twice. The boat I had no idea where to begin

the boats are garbage unless you use freebuild. The only ones I regularly use are the train and monorail for guest movement. I have a soft spot for the gondola since that is what my zoo uses and I use the tour occasionally but not much.
i really want to use them but i have not yet
Have yet to use one at all
I tried to build a safari jeep track through a big savannah habitat once but it was just a hassle so I gave up on it. Haven't touched them since.
Back in the day I had a series that was a jungle boat cruise that was actually decent, built for about 10-15 species, then shortly after got bored and moved on. Everything else I haven't touched.
