I know we have bee decals and the insect hotel with the conservation pack I believe but then I have no idea if guests actually interact with scenery pieces.
DLC18 discussion and predictions
- Thread starter Leaf Productions
- Start date
you are correct I forgot about the decal
Part of me wonders if they will eventually translate all the text ingame because there are quite a few words that are strange addtions if they werent trying to translate the zoopedia.
Conversely, here's a list of animal terms I couldn't find covered by the dictionary (only some base game and first to second year DLC terms):
- Bactrian
- Baird's
- Clouded (cloud exists)
- Cuvier's
- Burrowing (burrow exists)
- Birdeater (bird & eat exist)
- Lehmann's
- Ruffed (ruff exists)
- Thompson's
Salmon seems likely to be from Brazilian Salmon Pink Tarantula.
News from
April update really sounds like an unintentional leak to me. Similarly to what happened to aquatic during the stream.
I’m gonna guess in April the “coral, moray, eel” and other aquatic stuff is related to Planet Coaster 2.
Seeing how we saw stuff like barnacles and fish scenery in the pc2 pics, I wouldn't be suprised if there is much more animal related scenery to be revealed.
I think it’s entirely possible the April thing was a leak, but I’m also thinking it’s likely to be related to any other number of reasons people have listed. Maybe someone just loves making a fake language?
I have some theories to some of the animals being added though:
- Any aquatic creature being listed is related to the water park/ aquatic theme for PC2. One of the mascots is literally a shark.
- The flying birds might be bird we can see flying above us in PC2. ZooTycoon had a number of birds only seen flying overhead, the doves, eagles, ducks, vultures, macaws, and lovebirds all probably fall into this category.
- Termite is added as there is a termite mound in PZ.
- Salmon has to do with the tarantula
- Moth could be related to the pollinator stuff in game
- Hornet could be related to the insect hotel
- The binturong is a type of civet
- Echidna is literally in a song in PZ’s soundtrack
Some water parks have living fish too, imagine it isn’t scenery but PC2 gets aquatics and fish before PZ
But that’s my assumption as well, there is probably plenty of fake fish. (Man I would love that theme for PZ)
Its is the trademark antelope, but also the most bland one. So i wouldnt be surprised if it got dropped in favor of a different, more insteresting one
I hate to say this, but I wonder if that’s what they did to the baboon and mandril.
I’m assuming that they needed to update the dictionary with all the new words for PC2 and in doing so, they accidentally published a few words for Planet Zoo without realizing. Then after they saw us chat about it way back then they figured we already know so they didn’t change it or they simply didn’t care.
Are these words like Hamadryas and goodfellows new though? Or were they in the dictionary from the very beginning?
Last time we discussed this, I believe we came to the conclusion they were new additions. It's possible these were considered but never made it like say porcupine instead of baboon for the arid pack and quokka instead of the Goodfellows tree kangaroo in Oceania. Or maybe a future leak about exciting animals, who knows at this point really.
Personally I am not sure, Hamadryas could be new and baboon may be old. I’m thinking it’s likely Hamadryas was either planned and scrapped or planned and badly leaked. It does make me curious about the other words though:
- Goodfellows is way too specific, as is Hamadryas
- Secretary is a type of job, but let’s be real here that is also oddly specific
- Once again ducks, while it is a generic word, it does make me hopeful
- As does a number of the other birds mentioned in the dictionary
Also fun fact it’s national zookeeper week, this would be the perfect time to announce a Zookeeper Collection Pack, just saying frontier
