DLC18 discussion and predictions

this is totally unrelated to discussion, but does anyone know how to make something into a total group, because I have like Mutiple groups that I want to combine into one.
 
You realize we are talking about tortoises and their babys, right? And the "huge toll in space" is 20 m² for the biggest clutch possible, while the others add up in like 10%.

And if big clutch should be a factor for WE animals, we surelly should move all the reptiles, birds and carnivorans to WE as they big clutchs would be a problem.
Those babies still grow up and therefore take up more space those babies also breed (and inbreed), and thus exponentially add more and more tortoises to the habitat. Good luck managing that in a fully operational zoo.
Also, this exercise has demonstrated that there is no one deciding factor as to what makes a walkthrough exhibit animal. I'm not aware of any carnivorans with birth counts rivalling those of non-avian reptiles, and even if there are most mammals are far too active and mobile for a walkthrough exhibit to be roomy enough. Same with monitor lizards and crocodillians (the walkthrough exhibit is also completely devoid of water, and crocodilians would mind that far more than desert-dwelling tortoises).
 
So many animals are a must have addition for the final pack and just a few can make it in so is not more important than say a coati.
I'd go as far as to say the Coati is way more important. Much more species represented in zoos and as much as I want a walrus, a Coati of any type would give the modders a rig to basically make any other Coati out of it. (I want a South American Coati, many want the white nose).
 
Girls&Guys, I know it sounds a bit crazy, but if...

If the "highlands" keyart, teasing Palla's Cat / Hamadryas Baboon / Markhor, was just the first clue for a bigger thing ?

They said something like "stay tuned for news in a couple of weekS" (the "S" is important). Imagine next week we have a teaser, with a same-style keyart, but now in a rainforest theme, with (just examples) Coati / Goodfellow’s Tree Kangaroo / Black Howler Monkey, and next week a new teaser in an "grassland" theme (Secretary Bird / Patagonian Mara / Grey Crowned Crane), and next week, etc.

For a BIGGER final pack, like "World Tour Animal Pack" ? 👀

Let me dream please...
Or it’s a Asia theme then Africa then SA than Oceania than best for last everyone’s favorite NA!

You know, the "weeks" got me as well and it's odd to think they would tease us THAT long for just a normal animal pack. Then again it could very well be, because there will just be no Frontier unlocked before the release of the DLC, so they had to tease way in advance. But tbh, it doesn't seem like a wise move, as - we can see - speculations run wild about a "more than...." possibility.

Release then or sell then, as i assume most people are breeding tortoise for this (also because it takes 20 years for then to mature and the size need will jump to 20 to 40, so...)

Also contraceptivs, but thats becoming old at this point.
Good luck managing that in a fully operational zoo.
Thanks, but i don't need it. I already managed a breeding pair of Galapagos tortoises in a operational franchise zoo with 15 other species, hence i know it isn't a hard task.

Infact the worst population management i had with an animal in the game were the WE butterflys as one butterfly only live for 2.5 years, so in the equivalent of 1 hour you need to control the butterflys in your exhibit.
Also, this exercise has demonstrated that there is no one deciding factor as to what makes a walkthrough exhibit animal.
There is, it's called livestyle. The only reason why i bring up breeding in this context is because it really seens like what you are defining for what the WE is and i wanted to illustrate why it's stupid. And given your response i think i nailed it.

Also:
I'm not aware of any carnivorans with birth counts rivalling those of non-avian reptiles
not in real life, but ingame the clutch size of the red fox and galapagos tortoise have a difference of one in both maximal and minimal size (fox have 3-6 clutches, while tortoise has 2-7) hence one can say the birth counts rivalises.

Can’t believe we might only get 1 but if you had to choose just 1 South American animal to get in the next pack, what would it be?
Assuming it's mountain-themed and not the last DLC, I would choose the spectacled bear, no question. I know it's not everyone's favorite, but a lot of people will be wondering why it isn't there if it doesn't show up.

If I could pick anything, I'd go with the golden lion tamarin, but I still think a coati, bird, spider (and/or howler) monkey, and a Patagonian animal are really important to get before the end of support. We desperately need more monkeys, and this popular mini-monkey would create a great modding base. Coatis are super popular and a zoo staple. It's also nuts that South America's only bird representation is a penguin. The other two monkeys are both popular and practically essential options, and I want to see Patagonia move out of the red.
 
Any South American animal or just of the theme is mountains?
Anything considering we might get a celebration pack in general.
Any monkey species, preferably a howler or a spider, but something more unique than the capuchin would be ideal
Yeah thinking the same, we really need a larger monkey for South America. I like the coati but personally i don’t care for it nearly as much as I would love a spider monkey.

Hard choice, as the GLT and coati are both my most wanted animals, but in the end the coati seens like the more important one out of those two.

Now of course if the theme of the next dlc is highlands, than i think my only chooice is the spec bear, but it's not like i would be sad in getting it 😁
