Discussion Thread #2 - What is your favourite Planet Zoo Pack?

Of the DLC, Aquatic Pack is my favorite, though the others all have things I've liked about it.

Honestly, the Deluxe Pack needs an upgrade though because it is the weakest of the DLCs there (Not counting the music one).
 
I'm mostly interested in the animals, not so much in the building part. So for me the Southeast Asia Animal Pack was one of the best, which gave me a big bunch of animals! I've always been a huge fan of the babirusa since I first saw them in a zoo myself <3

But the very best would be the Aquatic pack mainly due to the new animations/mechanics. I love to see animals swimming underwater, it gives a lot of dimension to a zoo being able to make underwater viewing areas. One such pack that could create the same effect is a pack with birds. If that isn't a possibility, and the next DLC is just gonna be the 8 animal pack or a few animals/with building pieces, then i'd rather have another animal pack like the Southeast Asia pack.

I'd personally love an European Animal Pack with 8 animals in it, like the red fox, red deer, badger, wild boar, etc, animals I can encounter here in the wilds :p (but also the European fallow deer even though I can't encounter them in my country)

It is hard to choose. I like them all kind of equally. They are also very similar in structure (animals + scenery) so there isn't really that much to say. I love all the animals you add to the game (I wish to have more). Maybe a pack "out of the box" with new mechanics or management challenges would immediately be my fav.
 
The Australia pack. Because I love Australia.
I love the animals, just wish there were more of them.
I love the new map that came with it, the scenery, the colors, all the rusty items... just love it.
 
It’s hard to pick just one as they all have their merits and elements that let them down.

If I had to pick one I would say in principle the South East Asia pack - because it showed that Frontier can be responsive to voices in the community calling for more animals. For me more animals are very important. And some of the animals were beautifully done.

However, at the risk of sounding like a stuck record, the Malayan tapir was a major letdown that reflects badly on the game and company and simply isn’t up to standard. What’s worse, the Malayan tapir artwork is perfect. So I really hope that they continue to listen to constructive feedback and fix the tapir.
I don’t want to get carried away but I’d very possibly now change this to North America, or the stealth Scandinavia DLC as I like to call it, because of the mostly excellent and versatile lineup of animals.

I'm going to wait to see all animals, but I think I'm going to change my answer too!

I second this :D

Very early and bold praises Frontier, don't mess up now. :D
 
Aquatic for now. But I must admit I am very pleasantly surprised with NA animal pack. I think this is my second surprise for this game after aquatic pack was. NA animal line up is soooo good. I can't wait for release.
 
I'm going to put NA solidly at 3. I absolutely love all the animals we're getting and I understand it's a trade off for this that we don't get building pieces, but I still have to keep Australia and Africa at 1 and 2 respectively due to them both being a mix of strong animals and great building pieces. But NA is definitely right behind them.
 
This is really hard for me so I have two favourites for two reasons

Building and structure diversity - Africa pack, It brought in so many variants of my favourite building piece - PLASTER!
Animals - North america pack, I absolutely love the moose, and having another Crocodilia is very welcome. I was having trouble between this and australia, since I love the australia pack too. But I think the North america pack is just a tiny bit ahead in my fav.
