Here's the Primate Pack, tell me what you think
DLC Ideas that could cover the future of Planet Zoo and theoretical possibilities depending on how long Planet Zoo will continue
- Thread starter RedPandaReggie
- Start date
I don't think we'd get an exhibit mammal anytime soon, so I'd replace the pygmy marmoset with something primate-themed like a monkey slug moth or a king baboon spider.
There's also a severe lack in Strepsirrhines. I think sifakas and bushbabies would be very reasonable additions to a primate pack.

I really love those packs
I would only swap Raccoon dog for the Wolverine and Secretary Bird for Serval which I would really like to see in the game.
Wolverine isn't necessarily seen as a Greater Asian animal, Raccoon Dog I feel like is better, but I will make it an alternativeI really love those packs

Got serval as an alternative
I have added the Wolverine, even though I see it as more European and American than Greater Asia

What birds from North America, Oceania, Asia, Africa and South America are the most requested, I am attempting an Aviary Pack, right now I have Bald Eagle and Snowy Owl, what others do we want?
Great thanks
Most of the Wolverine distribution range is North Asia and it is very high on the meta wishlist.
And what are your opinions about Middle Eastern pack?

Most wanted birds for me are:
Pelican
Toucan
Macaw
Hornbill
Scarlet ibis
Gray crowned crane
Shoebill
In my personal opinion, there is a bit of overlap with the India Theme and the North Africa Theme, so I don't really know how different it would be from those, so I feel it a bit unnecessary.Great thanks

And what are your opinions about Middle Eastern pack?
Also that is not a distribution map, it is a climate map, so?
They're more of a taiga animal, so I guess it would work, but I still have no idea what the geopolitical opinions are for Russia whether it is Europe or Asia
I would classify half of those as aviary birds, how many occasions are there where pelicans are in an aviary, shoebills and grey crowned cranes are also not kept in aviaries often
These are all really cool and beyond my own personal taste (I would gladly trade that ASC otter for any of the hoofed animals in that GA animal pack), these all seem like very reasonable picks that would likely make it into the game.
That being said, I expect we'll be getting a few more animal/scenery packs too. It might be a bit more realistic to consider a combination of animal packs and animal/scenery packs for at least the next year. And, assuming they continue with more DLC packs (maybe animal-only and scenery-only) beyond that, that might be our best bet to get a really full roster.
For example: One of the bigger gaps in the game right now is desert animals and related building/scenery pieces that aren't hyper themed. If they were to do a Central America Pack they could pull out the coati, maned wolf, peccary, and armadillo from the South American pack (replacing the coati, peccary, and armadillo with subspecies found in that region). This would "free up" slots in the South America animal pack.
And if they were to do a primate animal pack that would help work in some of those alternatives that didn't make the main packs. Or by planning for a reptile pack eventually, the false gharial and radiated tortoise could be swapped out for another mammal in those packs. A "weasels of the world" pack could work in the honey badger, a wolverine, any missing otters, etc. That sort of thing. But this all feels like very "pie in the sky" dreaming.
Your options all look fantastic and if what you put forward is it what we wound up with? I'd be more than okay with that. Haha.

Well I believe I have provided enough animals to make up some scenery packs or different packs yourselves
The thing is, the Maned Wolf isn't found in Central America, neither is the South American Coati
This is the absolute dream of an aviary pack, 32 birds

The new DLC timeline I have theorised and made concepts for 8 dlcs from 2022 to 2023, if it happens, I really, really hope so, the possibilities for a game like this are many, and there are still several to cover, aquariums, aviaries, brachiation, guest interaction with animals, first person mode, exhibit behind the scenes such as vets being able to check up and interact with animals in behind the scenes sleeping and quarantine areas attached to the enclosures, specific ones for each animal.
These are all animal packs, but with the amount of animals I have presented before you, I imagine that formulating scenery packs out of them for the people who still want building pieces that could easily be added in free updates will be able to chose their animals, but for the many people who want the more animals the merrier, I present the Greater Asia Animal Pack, Oceania Animal Pack, Rainforest Animal Pack, Aviary Expansion, Islands Animal Pack, South America Animal Pack, Africa Animal Pack and the Primate Pack. If all the animals and alternatives shown here would be added, I would be satisfied for this game to end support, but since that is unlikely, we may never have all the realistic zoo animals we want.

Making lists is fun and yours are very enjoyable but I’m trying to be true here and we need to understand that there are probably the total of 23 species that we would get so I’m trying not to get my hopes up and keeping my expectations real.
Also if you would exclude one animal pack for birds as many people want you would be left with even less - 16 mammal species spots. Looking at the meta wishlist it’s easy to predict that maybe fist 10 species are given and the rest would be a surprise.

I must say that both ist possible. DLCs only 2022 and 2023 and I must say that I am at the moment very optimistic that there could be DLCs for 2023, too. It all depends on us players but if frontier will make tough profit next year I See no reason to end a succesful game. But of course we always should have in our head that there ist tgepossibility of an end of support at the end of next year. But I am sure that this is more or less in the hand of the players.
That is the fun of speculation, you never know what you will get, it is fun to try and guess, and maybe you will get lucky
