4 DLC’s for 2022 - what are your dream bets?

Spartan_Squat · Jan 4, 2022

I dont know which theme buildings frontier can do, they made a theme for all continents. I hope the next 4 packs will be animal packs.
Oceania Animal Pack

Kiwi
Echidna
Platypus
Wombat
Emu
Australian Pelican
Goodsfellow Tree Kangaroo
Tuatara for Terrarium

South America Animal Pack

Capybara
Maned Wolf
Giant Armadillo
Black Howler Monkey
Coati
Patagonian Mara
Rhea

Eurasia Animal Pack

Wolverine
Walrus
Red Deer
Dromedary Camel
Wild Boar
Markhor
Red Fox
Cobra for Terrarium

Endangered Species Pack

Black Rhinoceros
Amur Leopard
Sea Otter
Przewalski Horse
Scimitarra Horned Oryx
Saiga

Axolot

Angeł · Jan 4, 2022

My dream lineup for the new year, which I don’t think is too unrealistic an expectation or wish, is as follows:

March 2022 - Rainforest Animal Pack (7+1)
Update 1.9 would improve the climbing mechanics for animals such as the orangutan and koala, as well as allowing a largely arboreal roster to be introduced without climbing bugs.
-Linnaeus’s Two Toed Sloth
-Lar Gibbon
-Capybara
-Red River Hog
-Asian Small-Clawed Otter
-Matschie’s Tree Kangaroo
-South American Coati
-Panther Chameleon (Ex)

June 2022 - Avian Pack (8+Scenery)
The long-awaited avian pack would be released alongside update 2.0, the biggest update yet. This pack would cost a little extra, as it includes eight new species as well as some aviary building pieces (perches, bird baths etc...). However, the aviary habitat type would be introduced to the main game through update 2.0, to allow for flying species to be introduced in DLC further down the line.
-Scarlet Macaw
-Toco Toucan
-Bald Eagle
-Barn Owl
-Great Hornbill
-Sulphur-Crested Cockatoo
-Laughing Kookaburra
-Rainbow Lorikeet

FROM HERE ON IN, EXHIBIT ANIMALS IN DLC PACKS ARE REMOVED IN FAVOUR OF AN EXTRA FLYING SPECIES.

October 2022 - Nocturnal Pack (4+2)
The first pack to introduce terrestrial habitat animals as well as flying species would be a nocturnal scenery pack. As well as six new animals, the pack would introduce a nocturnal house building set (with blackout walls) as well as Halloween scenery items (pumpkins, scarecrows etc...).
-Red Fox
-Aye-Aye
-Striped Skunk
-Ocelot
-Livingstone's Fruit Bat (Av)
-Great Horned Owl (Av)

November 2022 - Free Anniversary Update (1+1)
The same as last year, Planet Zoo's anniversary does not go un-celebrated. Players are gifted two re-skin species, one habitat animal and one old-school exhibit animal (since they have been scrapped in favour of flying species in the DLCs)
-Wisent
-Emerald Tree Boa (Ex)

December 2022 - Endangered Animal Pack (6+2)
To beef up the roster and bring in lots of highly requested animals at once, as well as bring player's focus back to conservation, the final DLC of the year would centre around endangered animal species.
-Amur Leopard
-Scimitar Oryx
-Przewalski's Wild Horse
-Tasmanian Devil
-Cotton-Top Tamarin
-Asiatic Lion
-California Condor (Av)
-African Grey Parrot (Av)

Love all these lineups! I'd only change the echidna for a wallaby, and the exhibit animal for South America can be the Eyelash Viper (see below), and then all of these would be instant buys for me. Your packs have all the animals I desire, most notably the red deer and mara that so many people tend to exclude

Fun fact, my newborn niece is named Mara and I'm now looking for a mara plushie... If anyone has suggestions feel free to contact me, because I can't find anything.

Good selection

Faramburu · Jan 6, 2022

Biomes DLC are ok. I miss an mountain pack with animals like Markhor, takin, monal, monal Manul, spectacled bear, Rocky mountain goat or guanaco. In this pack the climbing mechanics could be improved

We dont know if the animal was scrapped. Its now like capybara, I hope capybara will be in a future, its a highly requested animal

coatifan · Jan 17, 2022

Disclaimer: This is a best-case scenario for me and me only. It lends unfair bias to my favorites. With that said:

Latin America Animal Pack:

Capybara
Maned Wolf
Scarlet Ibis
White-Nosed Coati
Sloth (any species)
Golden Lion Tamarin
Rhea
(E) Plumed Basilisk

Pan-Asian Pack

Asian Small-Clawed Otter
(E) Chinese Giant Salamander

Oceania Pack/Australia Pack II:

Tasmanian Devil
Short-Beaked Echidna
Yellow-Footed Rock Wallaby
Duck-Billed Platypus
(E) Frilled Lizard

Birds MEGA-Pack: new pieces, 8 birds, 8 bonus birds (though that last one is extra-unlikely)

Aviary building pieces
Scarlet Macaw
Keel-Billed Toucan
Great Hornbill
Kookaburra
Griffin Vulture
Bald Eagle
Brown Pelican
Snowy Owl
Bonus birds, if for some reason they broke the mold with a truly humungous pack:
- Roseate Spoonbill
- California Condor
- Rainbow Lorikeet
- Barred Owl
- American Flamingo
- Secretary Bird
- Ground Hornbill
- Kiwi

Great packs but I don't know that we-I-we LOL can wait that long for a capybara!

You can flip the Amazon pack and Asian pack...actually, since we had the SE Asia pack more recent, it might make more sense to switch them out.
So there. I will guarantee a Capybara by summer at the latest!

That works! I can definitely understand the wait if we got a fully avian or marine pack, but otherwise I'm feeling that something including a Capybara almost has to be next.
