I really like
new plants especially colorful digitalis plants (foxglove plant) which have magical powers in my folk culture and beliefs and are simply beautiful.
The new
Romanian building stuff will nicely work with European pieces that we already have. Props for that. I guess the badger castle build by Tim was not so random after all
Going back to
career scenarios was the best idea ever!!! I don’t like to play under pressure so I have never used the times scenarios but all the career scenarios from the base game were really fun and I still remember how addictive in a positive way they were.
Also
red fox with many color options, raccoon and wombat seems like a nice supplement to the existing regional packs (Europe, NA and Australia). We have been talking for ages about missing species in these packs and I think that fox, raccoon and wombat were always the most popular and mentioned by many.
Similarly to wetlands pack (except for capybara - here we don’t have a star species like this) the mediocrely popular animal roster in this pack makes me think that the
future of the game is safe with many more packs to come.
They probably save more popular species for the next pack ideas and I think that I’m ok with that - as long as at least 20 first species from the meta wishlist will find it’s way into the game.
Including less popular species also gives hope to oddballs like striped hyena or Père David’s deer which makes me very happy.
Changing the
regular and expected animal Pack to the regular pack was a very nice curveball.
It seems like we would need to wait only 2 months more for the winter pack which is absolutely great. This could be the animal pack this time with 7 presents for Christmas.
Last but least the
bats 
OMG that really made me happy and opened the door wide enough for the birds to flew in

A totally new, game changing feature is exactly what I have been waiting for. Next birds and manatees after that. Everything is possible in planet zoo.
Again huge surprise and such an amazing success Frontier
thank you for being so great
