Oh those are pretty, we really do need more small colorful flowers. Grasslands and Conservation really hit it home with the small grasses and flowers
DLC18 discussion and predictions

I used to love in zt2 having the extinct animal skeletons in a section of my zoo. I hope for something similar in pz
We need more medium sized bushes, and more small trees, the current ones are huge. Also more variety in reeds and bamboo.
They are actually in a different area than the fish, they share it with the only koalas and echidnas on SA
Depending on how they implemented it. I feel like it could be respectful and/or educational way to honor past favorites of your zoo OR just depressing.
That kind of reminds me when I played ZT2 I made a canid zoo (I had dozens and dozens of mods) and my favorite dhole passed away. I wanted to make a statue of him but alas ZT2 was even more limited in what you could build... How would people feel about statue memorials?
Yeah more regional foliage variety is needed!Same but with tempetate plants. I was disappointed we didn't get more foliage with Eurasia or Barnyard. I need orchard trees and flowering bushes.
I'd also love some more shops, especially healthier food shops. I'd like a salad bar, sushi counter and noodle/sandwich shop. I think drinks and gifts are fine as they are actually. I just hate serving beef burgers next to my bovines
For food shops are needed for sure. And while we do have an ice cream shop, we need something like dippin' dots, as the only places i see that have them anymore are zoos, so for me it feels like a zoo food staple, maybe along with fruity smoothie alcoholic drinks for tired adults with loud children....
Yeah most of the trees, especially the tropical ones, are like useless for actual habitats, like even the small versions are usually too tall.
And actual prop signs that are just simple enough to be used anywhere, like the signs you see on the workshop. Imagine having a variety of those that aren't made out of 50 pieces each, it would save some fps for sure
That's a great point. Like zoos irl have these giant trees in their brand new exhibits? LOL.
I wonder if scaling could fix it? Scaling would be awesome! Do any of the coding members know if scaling is possible in this iteration?
Oh imagine like paw prints and hand molds of different animals, similar to the giraffe station thing
Those education stations were great, but so underused. I wish that the devs gave us most, if not all, the animals and SFX and stuff
Whenever there is a big tree in a zoo, how often is it actually a fake tree or outside the habitat where the animals can damage it
Regarding aquariums, I want something like the roster of megaquarium with the quality and detail of PZ. If we only get megafauna like the lagoons in JWE2, I wouldn't find much use of it.
For example, check out the megafauna-only roster of ZT2 marine mania (without cetaceans):

- Blacktip reef shark
- Blue marlin
- California sea lion

- Leatherback sea turtle
- Manta ray
- Pacific walrus
- Rockhopper penguin
- Scalloped hammerheaf
- Sea otter
- West Indian manatee
- Whale shark
- White shark

Or a less cartoony style. Like yeah zoos might do something more artistic for the kids, but having the education stations be based on the actual in-game models would be better
What I'd REALLY love is a game where you can build a whole range of educational facilities. Then I could make my dream building, the California Academy of Sciences:
It combines a natural history museum, planetarium, underwater aquarium and walkthrough living ecosystem complete with birds, monkeys, insects, reptiles and fish (yes, they eat each other but the populations remain in balance).
It has a living roof, planted with native California grass and wildflower species that are endangered.
It is carbon zero, and built entirely with sustainable materials.
It's basically my church. I pay a visit every time I visit the US.

This is also almost every PZ marine pack wishlist ever. I don't want whale sharks, I want nurse sharks, small octopuses, eels, and small fish. But I would for sure take a rockhopper (one of my mom's favorites)
I mean, I'd agree that full aquatics don't need to be in a separate game. But let's not be selective: Zoos with full-blown habitats for fully terrestrial animals are the exception, not the rule. Sometimes you'll wind up with like, parrots or lizards in one section. Maybe box turtles or something. But it's so rare to see a habitat like what you shared.
That would be awesome! Signs with little "gibberish" lines and a single bit toward the top (or bottom) that can have text added to it. Getting a few of those would work wonders.
I've never had any plans to ever really visit California, but now I want to, and good thing this is in the one area I sorta did want to visit
Oh definitely, like we have such limited educational stuff. Anything is useful. I want a good quality signs for a number of different things:
- Biomes
- Ecosystems
- Food Chains
- Bats
- Insect loss
- Anything else not off the top of my head lol
I really hope they expand this in the free update! I’ve mentioned it before, but imagine these education stations:
- Jump as far as a kangaroo
- Spread your arms like the wings of a bird
- Hold your breath against a polar bear or seal
Let's not even get started on the lack of good custom signs and fonts
Ooooh those fonts are ugly
