Its always the last wednesday of the month, so the 26th in this case. You can watch it either on youtube or twitchWhen are we expecting news? When's the next Unlocked (if that's the one we were told to watch)?
Thanks, forgot the deets - it's been a while!Its always the last wednesday of the month, so the 26th in this case. You can watch it either on youtube or twitch
I remember several threads in the zt2 forums just like that (i had a couple myself). It was fun.So I saw in the news today that the Nashville Zoo had a newborn clouded leopard! While exciting news it really got me thinking. I wish we had some sort of “Newspaper” built in game, one that can show headlines for your zoo. Like taking part in endangered animal breeding, releasing animals to the wild, building new habitats or buildings, etc.
I know it would be a small feature, but I think it could be fun to use! Maybe you can even get a “picture taking mode” so you can take the photos yourself. Like what we had in Zoo Tycoon 2 and 3. Maybe you can even get money that way as a small bonus.
Either way, has anyone else been thinking about free updates lately? The last one wasn’t the best IMO, so I’m hoping we get something else this time through.
Zoo Tycoon (2013) had a social media feature, IIRC. Such things are functionally useless but they are entertaining for roleplaying and realism. There were also frequent updates on how species you released to the wild were doing.So I saw in the news today that the Nashville Zoo had a newborn clouded leopard!

Yeah I remember using that feature! Despite that games flaws the “wildlife tracker” was not one of them. I’m honestly surprised Frontier didn’t use it again in PZ, but as others have pointed out the Planet series is based around the building.Zoo Tycoon (2013) had a social media feature, IIRC.

had fleshed this idea out in one of my videos, would make for a great feature, we need more gamificationSo I saw in the news today that the Nashville Zoo had a newborn clouded leopard!

I don't want to wait that long, both because I am impatient and because I am going to realize that the 3rd month of 2025 is almost over even though it fells like 2025 just started, and that awalys makes me feel so happySorry if folks already shared this but... They've updated the Twitch schedule with the date for the next Unlocked. Surprising nobody it'll be on Wednesday, March 26th. So a little under 2.5 weeks away!
And about ~2 weeks from the likely pre-Easter release date.

No I haven't given it much thought, because unfortunately I'm not expecting much. I'd be surprised if it was more than what we got last time.So I saw in the news today that the Nashville Zoo had a newborn clouded leopard! While exciting news it really got me thinking.

Technically you can count the puma for Patagonia but that's it...At least it got Andean bear, llama and alpaca. Meanwhile in Patagonia![]()
It also counts for the Andes. Further proofs my point hahaTechnically you can count the puma for Patagonia but that's it...
Your pack seems the most likely. I'd enjoy it and ABB might make decent headliner... The only one of those animals I wouldn't enjoy is GSNM but I know a ton of forum members would. hahaIf it were the final pack, I'd try to work in the rhea, mara, and at least one duck, but I think they'd shine better in other packs. Honorable mentions go to North American deer, porcupine, wild turkey, bobcat, brushtail possum, black swan, yellow-throated marten, barbary macaque, and Eurasian otter. I wish the mechanics would allow eagles, owls, and koi.
