Well exactly, and that list doesn't look random to me
DLC18 discussion and predictions
- Thread starter Leaf Productions
- Start date
Well, personally I've never seen a beaver at a zoo, and I've been to a coupl big and small zoos. I see them more in the wild than I have in captivity
No, actually the next and final dlc will be...
SOUTHEAST ASIA COLLECTION
- Sumatran Rhinoceros
- Sumatran Tiger
- Sumatran Orangutan
- Borneo Elephant
- Crested Black Macaque
- Muntjac
- Sunda Flying Lemur
- Burmese python
It's in order of release by default but you can see that things aren't necessarily updated in order. A bunch of packs (e.g., Africa, Arctic, Eurasia) were updated 4 months ago while two others (Wetlands and Twililgght) were updated 3 months ago while others it was 2 months ago.
So yeah, it is a bit random in that regard.
But the TL;DR here is that there's not much we can glean from this.
I think this exercise has taught us again that one man's trash is another man's treasure
But tbh I have no idea what I'm looking at or talking about haha. Not a dev's bone in my body. It is a very uniform list, that's all
Nah look closer, I just moved the kiwi to Twilight
More so a midwest and east coast thing, I think a few scattered ones too, SDZ, Omaha, Chyenne Mountain Zoo
Which all depends on where you live in some regards. I've never seen a red fox in a zoo (I think) but I've seen several of them in my own back yard or neighbors yard, and then there's the ones I've seen just around the area.
I'm sure some Australians see more Wombats in the wild than in zoos and that can be applied with all areas of the world and their respective common species.
Goes without saying I guess that super endangered animals aren't seen in the wild that often either no matter if you live in their home range or not.
Ugh, imagine the quietness and the insanity a week after the DLC drop. We'll be all "talk talk talk" about the DLC for about a week after and then it'll kinda go dead
Forever.
I've seen quite a few beaver habitats over the years. But, strangely, I don't think I've ever actually seen the beavers in said-habitats except on like, the nest cams or whatever. Haha.
I can't speak to how common they are to see in the wild but... I went to three Australian zoos this year and every single one of them had wombats. Australia seems to emphasize their local wildlife in their zoos. Much more so than your average American or European zoo, TBH.
I mean, that all kinda depends. If the pack feels like there could be another on the way and/or if there's hints that it's not the last DLC? Speculation might continue.
Maybe. Maybe not. Look at Zoo Tycoon: talk went on for years and the community was still there. Smaller, but still alive. Even after PlanZo was released there is still a ZT2 community
Did Frontier always have the TikTok account for Planet Zoo and Planet Coaster merged? I got to wondering if they'd posted anything on TikTok so I checked and uh yeah... Nothing about Planet Zoo recently but they sure did post a PC2 video today highlighting the Latte Love shop with "Espresso" over it. 
Yeah I agree with this take too. If it's really just a highlands pack 7+1 or 7+mini scenery set (and without any Latin American animals) I can totally see one last pack. Though how long have we been saying it? But Highlands particular just Asian highlands seems like a really weird theme to end the support on. A larger than normal or multithemed pack would be more indictative of a finale.
If there's a good chance the theme doesn't seem like a final pack there will be much discussion until we're proven wrong or until the next release. If it's a fairly clear indicator of a finale pack, the forums will probably enjoy a "end of support" wrap up - favorite animals of the game's run, projects now being completed with a final official roster, that sort of thing. But that won't last long I think, and then yes, the forums will probably be pretty quiet from there on out.
It happened a few months ago yeah, they merged both accounts.Did Frontier always have the TikTok account for Planet Zoo and Planet Coaster merged?

If this is just an Asian Mountains pack I’ll be really upset considering the Andeas and Cloud Rainforests are right there!
Just please don't be another arid style pack, give me birds and animals that aren't just Asian
yeah, just having one particular continent's biome be represented is fairly limiting. They've done it before with the Arid pack, but we're a lot closer to the end of support and it would just seem like a baffling decision.
I know a decent amount of people will slowly move on or play less or whatever, which will be pretty sad, but the more dedicated players will probably stick around. But I doubt there will be much chatter on the next dlc discussion thread after a certain point because why would there be.
This is what will probably happen, though I'm not familiar with ZT at all so I'm not exactly sure what goes on over there.
I like this community pretty well, it would be an absolute shame if 90% of everyone just up and left because “oh the game doesn't have any current support/dlcs/whatever blah blah blah it must be dead” I HATE that mentality, mostly because I still do play some “older” games that still have a decently active online community or even official servers still running and a lot of newer games just don't always have the same charm due to different practices or whatever
