Planet Zoo | ZooKeepers Animal Pack Announcement

You dont say? Of course I can wait, but constantly shutting down any discussion about current game with "wait for PZ2" is annoying.
Its not annoying though, its factual? I may be annoying for you and other players but in reality you are gonna have to wait or suck it up and download mods
 
I honestly feel like this is a good ending for Planet Zoo.
Not the best ending, but it could have been a lot worse.
And I feel like it should be an ending.
We already saw a pretty noticeable drop in quality with the last two DLCs, and I get why people would want more animals and more content to be released (heck, I would too) but I think that this situation can't go on forever. We ask for new animals, we get new animals, but at the same time the team at Frontier gets smaller and so the quality drops.
The more I look at the newest Zookeeper's Pack, the more I see that Frontier still tried hard, but didn't really reach the same levels as last year. It's still good, but not nearly as great as Eurasia or Oceania or Tropical... And I kind of feel bad about it. Everything gives off this sort of tired energy, like it's struggling to find the strength to go on. I feel like we won't be as lucky next time, so I personally believe that Planet Zoo should end here before the situation gets worse.
But maybe this is just me humanizing what is in fact just a company that in the end of things just cares about the money it makes...
I think your Last sentence Just is right. And this is No criticism. At the end of the day Frontier must make money and within the Economy there is only a small room for mistakes as the F1 Manager disaster showed.

Haha.. they are absolutely factual.

Frontier doesn't care about you and they see you as Money Bags, Community Managers could see you different with their "giveaways" and "thank you" but all they know is that your paying for their paycheck and that your giving them that green dollars.
 
In the very unlikely case that we get another New World monkey, I hope it's a tamarin and not something like a howler or spider monkey. I'm sorry but I find those to be kind of boring in a way 😅
I like the sifaka and the baboon because, as far as primates go, they both allow for some very interesting and unique enclosure designs compared to other primates we already have... And I don't want a hypothetical next monkey to be just another capuchin in terms of building. I want something new with its own challenge

Don't worry, you will see that in the obscure Planet Zoo 2: Amazonian Pack

That is called Economy. Sure they want my Money. Frontier is not the welfare (and this is again no criticism). But I can decide on my own belief that I get a good product If i want to give my Money to Frontier or not. So also the company has to make an effort that people are convinced of their product. If not, it can be over very fast.

Honestly though, I don't even want anything more.
Planet Zoo is perfectly good as it is for me... I already have a sufficient variety of animals that I can build for, even in the context of a semi realistic zoo.
And I suppose this is mostly because I don't really care about birds or primates LMAO, I'm happy with my 20 antelopes
 
I hope not. I want more packs. Well, actually i'm ready for the game to end i just need one more pack. The right one.
I think he meant the manner how the question was asked. If we get new Packs or not. This has been already decided. Every other look onto that topic seems illusional to me.
 
Poor Phil gets bombarded with all these requests for planet zoo content

Overall, this pack actually looks pretty good! While I don't agree with every inclusion, Frontier typically does a good job with the models. Except for the Pallas's Cat, I don't know what happened with it.
 
I feel like people are getting a bit too cynical to Frontier with regards to this pack. Sure it's not my favourite, and sure I think there should've been other species/items in the game that we didn't get. But the criticism in some parts is getting a bit too much.

'Frontier just cares about money' is something I see coming by a lot. This is just not nuanced. They are a company. They need money to exist. They do make economic choices that are not the most player-friendly. Otherwise we'd have had fish, flying birds and coatis by now. But it's also a company with a lot of hard working people who are passionate about games, animals, zoos, the fanbase or multiple of them. A lot of hard work also went into what we are getting now. They deserve better than this.

I don't want to say the criticism is unjustified, but it's just a bit too tough and un-nuanced in my opinion. It reminds me of the criticism zoos get for 'just caring about money and abusing animals for profit', when the reality is that zookeepers are the most passionate people when it comes to animal welfare and conservation. However, zoos exist in a reality where organisations need to make a profit to survive, and where zoos need money to improve habitat size.

I honestly don't see what's so terrible about the Pallas' Cat...?
It's not perfect I guess, but I've seen a lot worse. The face looks a bit wrong, but honestly it's a really tricky animal to get right. I gave up on drawing one just because I couldn't get it to look like an actual Pallas. Just similar to a Pallas.

Frontier always struggles to get cats right, amur leopard and sand cat are obvious standouts despite great animal quality elsewhere in their dlc packs. I can imagine the Pallas cat regardless is a difficult face to get right with all that fur and permanently grumpy expression, a Pallas cat mod from a while back also struggled to capture the look of the face.
