I have recently had an idea for a stellar dlc that honestly looks really good in my head, and it would honestly flesh out some new semi-aquatic and fully aquatic species as well as new enrichment items and that will exercise some of these animals' particular set of skills that help them either hunt or make use of their environment's resources. This pack could be a slight mix of animal pack and scenery pack.
8 New Aquatic Species:
This would be one of the best packs ever.
8 New Aquatic Species:
- Pacific Walrus
- Southern Sea Otter
- Southern Rockhopper Penguin
- Brown Pelican
- Common Bottlenose Dolphin
- Green Sea Turtle
- West Indian Manatee
- Yellow-Lipped Sea Krait
- Underwater Sand Sifter (a bed of sand with an available shell for the dolphins to sift through the sand to find a fish meal)
- Underwater Clam Forager (a bed of sea floor covered with clams and mussels, with an available rock on the side for sea otters, buried under gravelly sediment, this allows the walrus to use their thousands of whiskers to move through the sand and they then find the clam or mussel and use vacuum suction to slurp the fleshy animal out from its shell. The sea otters can bring the clam up from the item to the surface where they will use the rock to smash open the mollusc)
- Shoal of Fish Dispenser (this can be fed upon by all predatory aquatic species such as pinnipeds, penguins, otters and cetaceans, these fish could take the form of pilchards, mullet or sardines)
- Underwater Mud Patch (this will be a unique item for the dolphins to corral the shoal of fish over it and they can create mud rings and then eat the fish as the jump out from the surface of the water.
- Seagrass Bed (a bed of seagrass that can be fed upon by the Manatee and Sea Turtle)
- Kelp Forest (a bed of kelp that acts as the sea otter's primary need for hard shelter, tying themselves to floating strands of kelp.
- Penguin Cliff (a large rock that the rockhoppers can climb and demonstrate their namesake ability)
- Aquatic Habitat Gate (a wooden/concrete/metal/glass jetty that has an exit point for semi-aquatics and aquatics with one jetty above slightly above water-level going forward to a slope that at the end is where the semi-aquatics will slide into the water from. A water level jetty where the caretakers or vets will place a box halfway into the water that then releases the fully aquatic species (i.e. the dolphins, manatees and sea turtles)
- Aquatic Rocks of different shapes with an ideal number of 8 types, all rounded like they have been eroded and weathered away, with some have holes to swim through and others than some animals can hang around on and swim around.
- A new buildable biome, the Coastal Biome that can be set next to the sea.
- A multitude of Coastal plants such as Norfolk Island Pines, California Palms, Tussock Grass, Seagrasses and others.
- New jetty pieces
- An aquatic barrier that is a large roped net that can't be tangled in by animals, with sinkers at the bottom and buoys at the top.
- A wavy water feature
- Artificial Ice Flows that pinnipeds and penguins can interact with.
- Slides for pinnipeds and penguins
This would be one of the best packs ever.
