That’s unrealistic. They extended the game, which likely means Planet Zoo 2 has been delayed even further. Considering the flop of Planet Coaster 2, they probably can’t risk another failure so we’re likely talking about years until PZ2. Also, how exactly does this list help? A percentage of players won’t even play PZ2, so should their votes still count? Many animals currently in the game don’t show up on these lists anymore. For example, my top pick would be the snow leopard I want it more than any other. Plus, a lot of people don’t vote for aquatic or bird species because they know those won’t make it into the game, so the data isn’t even reliable also frontier definitely has other ways to gather feedback.If we want then, we should be making a list specifically for PZ2 instead.Guys we need the data for the sequel this list can continue after this game
Is it a confirmed flop?Considering the flop of Planet Coaster 2,
In the last 24 hours, PC2 peaked at 2,600 players, while Planet Zoo peaked at around 6,100 players during the same periodIs it a confirmed flop?
I disagree. We can always just add votes for when the sequel comes out it’s not that deepThat’s unrealistic. They extended the game, which likely means Planet Zoo 2 has been delayed even further.

I vote for animal X because i know animal Y which i would perfer has no hope since its aquatic, how is the data any reliable then? just make a list for pz2 if thats the only argumentI disagree. We can always just add votes for when the sequel comes out it’s not that deep
Because all of us who voted for aquatic would lose their votes. Just add votes when pz2 arrives unilaterally. Best of both worldsI vote for animal X because i know animal Y which i would perfer has no hope since its aquatic, how is the data any reliable then? just make a list for pz2 if thats the only argument
Ouch. How does it compare to PC1 at this time post it's release?In the last 24 hours, PC2 peaked at 2,600 players, while Planet Zoo peaked at around 6,100 players during the same period
No this data is not useful to a sequel because it does not consider the current existing roster of planet zoo 1 and for the majority of its existence has not included major groups because they were unrealistic now. changing the rules at this point will do nothing but poison the data setGuys we need the data for the sequel this list can continue after this game
2,868 on the equivalent day so slightly worse but not too far offOuch. How does it compare to PC1 at this time post it's release?
Ok I understand the reasoning I just wish the whole current roster would be in from the beginning but that’s unrealisticNo this data is not useful to a sequel because it does not consider the current existing roster of planet zoo 1 and for the majority of its existence has not included major groups because they were unrealistic now. changing the rules at this point will do nothing but poison the data set
A list for predicating the wants for a sequel has to be made with that explicit purpose and is already in the works but this list should not be used for that.
I wanted to include the rest of the fish, sharks, rays, and dolphins on the table, not to axe the manatee!!I agree manatee should never have been on this list and needs to be removed. I am sorry to disappoint you but we literally have no ingame mechanics for fully aquatic animals larger than a home aquarium fish so they are beyond even flying birds in terms of unrealistic and unviable and have no place on a list designed to support and predict the wants of the community for this current iteration of planet zoo.
Oh so that's ok then maybe. Maybe theme parks are less popular than zoos. How do you even get that data?2,868 on the equivalent day so slightly worse but not too far off
planet coaster 1 at this time (june of 2017) had around 6000 playersOuch. How does it compare to PC1 at this time post it's release?
I used steam db went to the last sunday in may 2017 which is almost exactly the same point as we are now given they released at similar times and looked at the peak.Oh so that's ok then maybe. Maybe theme parks are less popular than zoos. How do you even get that data?
the question was asked in may and given how different the 2 months are in terms of numbers june isnt the best analogue possible here.planet coaster 1 at this time (june of 2017) had around 6000 players
In may 2017 PC1 was around 4000 players even right now in this moment there are 713 players in PC1 and 942 in PC2the question was asked in may and given how different the 2 months are in terms of numbers june isnt the best analogue possible here.
Planet Zoo has the widest audience range it attracts many players who are interested solely in the animals (like me), but also appeals to those who enjoy the management and creativity aspects of the game. Naturally, this makes it more popular. However, the issue is that, even when compared to an older game like Planet Coaster 1, Planet Coaster 2 currently has about the same number of players. Considering all the resources and money Frontier spent on developing PC2, this is questionable from a pure profit perspective. A new DLC for PC1 might have been more profitable, as the development cost would have been much lower and the player base is still nearly the same. In fact, if PC1 received a DLC or an update now, it would probably surpass PC2 in player count.Oh so that's ok then maybe. Maybe theme parks are less popular than zoos. How do you even get that data?
