Boa Constrictor reveal! Plus some questions

[Bo Marit]

With different terrarium sizes: Maybe we can clip two or more terrariums together and leave one empty? That way it might look bigger at least. Don'z know if it's actually possible, but if it is, that could be a workaround.

I guess you could! You can put multiple together in a hub and use piece-by-piece building to set it up nicely

Just want to chime in here and thank Bo for the excellent clarification. No beating around the bush, just clearly stating what we can expect, that's my fetish. The decision to not make them as resource intensive as the other animals seems entirely reasonable to me. The obvious advantage of this is that it allows for a much greater variety of terrarium animals (including birds, I would figure), since the devs don't need to develop the full spectrum of animations and AI for each species. Having said that, animals being stuck in a single animation loop got boring very fast in ZTUAC, so I'm very happy to hear that at least they can be found in different places some of the time!

Thanks, appreciate the kind words and I'm sure the devs who are reading this do as well!

"Animals change position within their exhibits (between a number of fixed points), but only off camera. If you move away from an exhibit and come back then your animals may be in different places, and they'll be animated in these places so not completely still like statues. They can't freely move around the exhibit space like full animals can their habitats - this would be very hard (and expensive) to do, especially if we were to achieve the same kind of visual fidelity that we do for other animals."
Just some extra clarification from our Lead Programmer, hope that helps!

This seems nice to me. At least see them in different locations of the terrarium, although we have to leave the observation point, that's the least. Very well, my doubts are the following, Although these animals do not have the same intelligent conditions as large animals, at least, will they have the possibility to reproduce, or will they only be located there in their installation without more than that? Will they be old, will they die of old age? Anyway, seeing the animals take advantage of the space is already a gain.

The movement makes sense, like someone said these animals don't usually move as much so the off camera method will work I think.
I do hope we have to care for them though, make sure they have food and clean exhibits or they get sick and try to escape or something. Make them feel alive
