DLC 19 Speculation

The size isn't the issue, it's that tortoises don't understand glass. Realistically it'd keep bumping into the glass trying to walk to the other wise
Yeah, i mean to be fair its not the end of the world as you can easily cover the bottom part up.
Its just a shame that you cant really house them as they would be in rl, in a pen.

But ive found that the baby spurred tortoises make for a pretty decent stand in

That bothers me way less than a massive habitat for four animals that are typically less than 1 foot in length and housed in very dark, nocturnal enclosures.

Developers are always gonna have to make decisions (e.g., flamingos can fly IRL) and players are gonna have different takes on where those "leaps" bother them or not. And the slow loris thing would annoy me to the point of never using them. LOL. I get your point, though! Just not where I've chosen to draw my own line. 🙃
 
something that hasn’t been brought up in a while (unless I missed it). Small mammals. If frontier could make a new type of exhibit that is bigger then our current exhibits and maybe smaller then the WTE that could accommodate small mammals. Think loris, shrews, rats, mink, weasels, ferrets, squirrels, hedgehogs etc.
would anyone like that idea?
Yes please. I love small mammals. I want some small weasels like mink, black-footed ferret, etc. I would also love squirrel species, hedgehogs, rats, and mice.

I would like small terarriums for stuff like naked mole rats, moles, mice, shrews and pink fairy armadillos.

But animals like ferrets, weasels, squirrels and hedgehogs i would like as habitat animals.

Tbh i think the 4x4m is plenty big for most of these, especially for like rats, shrews and stuff.
And i think it would be neat to have small mammals for exhibits, provided they put some more work into looped animation for them.

I really hope when and if they do PZ2 they are gonna make the game a little more suitable towards small animals so we can get more animals in that prairie dog/meerkat sizeclass for habitats
 
heck I have seen dwarf caimans in smaller habitats and with more members then what we have in game.
I think a good sized exhibit for them small mammals would be on the radar for pz2.
As for loris in WTE, realism wise they are very shy and their venom is not something to underestimate unless we are rescuing them from the exotic pet trade where they have their teeth inhumanly clipped out
 
Tbh guests intelligent seens to oscillate between cartooniscally stupid to cartooniscally smart.

They're both smart enough to know the temperature of the exhibits and how much they inabitants need, but are to stupid to take 2 steps to throw they garbage in the thrash bin.

So in short, i woudn't doubt PZ guests could walk around loris just fine

IMO the guests are dumb
They are wrong and stupid. They are pointed at habitat 1 yet somehow they are looking beyond that looking at habitat 2 which is totally the wrong place to view habitat 2. A few more steps and there’s the garbage. I would imagine if they got to 2 or 3 of the lorisis they would juggle them if they could.
In real life i have seen on tv and in person people being completely stupid about wildlife.
 
They would "work" in that format but given the way lorises are usually presented in zoos it would be just a bridge too far away from realism for me. They're generally housed in smaller enclosures. And I'm struggling to think of a single walk-through exhibit IRL that presents them. Doesn't mean they don't exist but... I'd hesitate to say they're even remotely common.
Singapore Night Safari has a loris in a walkthrough habitat, with civets.

I’ve never actually seen him in there, but he’s there.

I truly believe a good send off for the game would be:
Brand New Exhibit System with different exhibit sizes
MAKE ALL EXHIBIT ANIMALS INCLUDING CURRENT MOVE AROUND THEIR EXHIBITS
Brand New Exhibit pack with the following 10 animals:
Tokay Gecko [Headliner]
Savannah Monitor
Naked Mole Rat
King Cobra
Silky Anteater
Jackson Chameleon
Slow Loris
Ili Pika
Tuatara
Elephant Shrew
90+ Exhibit Scenery Pieces and New Terrarium backgrounds
DLC TOTAL COST: 15$ USD

[Would be an Awesome Base for Aviary's in the future hopefully]

There are still at least a few habitat animals to add to the game though...

I can guarantee you people only care about exhibits for two seconds then move on. they provide no substance.
 
I don't understand.

It's terrariums, how much substance could they provide?

They are fine at being what they need to be, but some tweaking could help.

I don't see anything wrong if someone is interested in tweaking part of it.
I think with the no substance he means that you cant really do anything with them aside placing them down.

Like i too would like more sizes and stuff, but at the end of the day the exhibits are basicly little more than a scenery piece
