Aldabra / Galapagos / Spurred tortoises size

Really hope they won't use that Garbage. For the Reason alone already that it will probably make Mistakes like that even more common.
If AI is used everywhere, especially without quality control, mistakes are bound to happen. However, it has the potential to cut down costs, optimize tedious tasks that would otherwise take many work hours, and allow for more efficient resource allocation. Used properly, AI has a lot of potential to improve quality of life and accomplish tasks that are otherwise very difficult or impossible to pull off. I believe the gaming industry is on the verge of a major shift.

I agree with both base game tortoises requiring a resizing.

However, that might mess up excisting builds for those species as it could also enlarge their hit boxes.

Which might be why Frontier has so far not responded to this request and the similar ones for the komodo dragon and American bison.
Both the Bactrian camel and Malayan tapir had changes made to their model sizes, so I don’t think that alone is the reason.
 
I just placed the spurred tortoise with peccaries. Preccaries and so tiny and tortoises are enormous compared to them. Idk if that's how it is in real life but it feels like it shouldn't.
 
I really want this to be changed, the large tortoise species being so small is super distracting for me. They are massive animals in real life, and in game they seem so small!

Dare I say I want this more than any other free update feature.
Agree. I really want Souvenirs for way more Species to sell in the Souvenir Shop. But if the Animals are so inaccurate in a Zoo Game, that's a Problem. Way more important right now
 
I'm bringing this back to point somehting else that bothers me a lot: the huge requirement for shelter the tortoises in the game have. If you find it too big too and would like Frontier to reduce the shelter requirement for the tortoises, please feel free to contribute here:


For example, this habitat has 1 African spurred tortoise and 9 meerkats. Almost half of the enclosure is covered, yet the shelter need is only at 67 %.

I can see the Galapagos a little small, but but not extraordinarily small. The ones I've seen are roughly that size. Maybe slightly increase it a but, but they don't seem super small to me.
Just the same, I'll submit a contribution to the ticket
 
Charles darwin once sat down on top of a Galapagos tortoise and rode along on its back (yes, horrible, I know): imagine a grown human trying to achieve this with the size of the in-game tortoise...
 
This is close to being my most wanted thing in Planet Zoo. More than any other bugfix, any other change, or any new content bar ducks and maybe tanuki. The size discrepancy breaks immersion so badly that, imo, it makes the giant tortoises and spurred tortoise unusable in the same zoo.
