Rough and Calm Water
- Thread starter KitCat

Have any of the streamers used the rough water yet? I've only seen them use the calm water, so far. It might be just as you say: aesthetics. There might not be a difference other than one visually suits the habitat better.
Yeah, Arkas was building water for the hippos and he momentarily chose rough water. It just seems interesting. We've already seen that we can build tanks so I am wondering if this will eventually be something that marine or semi-marine animals will have a preference for.
Maybe calm is supposed to be fresh water and rough is meant to be salt water?
It seems as if they are laying down the foundations for marine animals. The terrariums are sort of build so that they possibly could used for fish in the future, and the fence thing that you brought up, so I wouldn't be shocked if the two types of water are put there for future plans, along with other types possibly being introduced in the future, like salt water. As for now though, I truly believe that the type of water is meant to be a decoration like in planet coaster. However, I have a feeling that certain animals will have a water preference as well.
I think that may be the case in the future, but even salt water is calm at times so for now I don't think that's it.
I do think you're right that it's decoration for now. We also haven't seen the arctic biome or a full product yet so maybe it's something they'll be adding before release? I do think it will be an animal preference - I hope. It's fun to speculate though. haha
Marine DLC is one of the most likely expansions for this game at this point, due to a marine building theme, the fence/tank like system, and the water types. I really do hope our speculation is correct, and we will be able to make marine parks one day.
The main pack I really hope for though is extinct animals, but its highly unlikely to happen, as frontier is trying to make a realistic zoo game. I think if they make it though, it should have a campaign to go along with it, which is based around bringing back the extinct species, and re-introducing them into the wild.
Some animals prefer their water to be a bit of a bully.
Oh ok! Was that seen in a stream so far? I am trying to watch them all, but it takes time. haha
Heh. No seriously though, I think it's just a vanity. They are trying to give us options (different types of grass, sand, dirt, etc....) and there isn't really much you can do with water. Different colours would look rad, but I don't think that's what they're going for.
Some kinds of Fish and other aquatic Animals prefer rough Water. I think it is mainly for building River's but I think if we will have Fish in the Game or other fully aquatic Animals, some of them could need it to be happy
Many features are ones they have already made in their other game, planet coaster so the difference between still and rough water is just visual it is the same with the different types of soil.
I saw bestinslot's second stream, and the rough water is just water you'd probably find in rivers and lakes.
Yeah, I think it will be great for creating brooks or generally something that resembles running water.
