On zoochat there are a bunch of instances of spec bears kept with all sorts of animals, coatis, tapirs, monkeys, bush dogs so apperently thats possible
DLC18 discussion and predictions
- Thread starter Leaf Productions
- Start date
The dik-dik’s at Marwell lived in their own enclosure until there was a birth. Then the unrelated boys moved in with the Addax or Dorcas gazelle.
Wasn’t there also a zoo where the bears did kill a tapir though???
I think some of their habitats in argentina, peru and stuff could be interepreted as deserts for PZ purposes.
Ive seen both ways, smaller exhibits and larger ones with other antelope
Frontier are never going to plainly say that they're ending support, there were plenty of PC1 and JWE1 fans on the hook for years, even to this day you won't get Frontier to admit that support ended for those games.
On console, each DLC (except PC deluxe) is paired up in bundles. Barnyard and Zookeeper are the remainder, and will likely be their own bundle.
The untitled CMS game is pretty likely Planet Zoo 2 (being planned in response to a terrible financial year, they wouldn't be taking risks on something truly new), unfortunately it makes sense they'd be saving stuff that people want for then.
The more I think about this pack, the more I settle on the tortoise being the best addition by a mile. It adds so much versatility. I think I've posted before about how they're the #1 animal I keep finding myself wanting to use and not being able to. They work as a filler African species, in reptile houses, in all manner of zoos from high to low budget. I was sure they wouldn't be coming but am delighted that they are.
I'm afraid in that regard too, but then IIRC we are only getting scenarios in Animal packs, aren't we?
There is still place for a regular DLC with 4+1 species, reaching the holy number of 200 as the total roster.
Two packs in a row without exhibit animal whatsoever. I'm very disappointed.
Yeah, the lack of an exhibit animal in Barnyard was somewhat excusable because there were no truly great candidates, but god, would it have killed them to give us a chameleon?
I think the biggest argument for this being the last one is that its a random assortment of animals without any theme, along the lines of round up a bunch of requested animals and put them into a final pack.
If there was another one coming later, like a Latin america pack, a Rainforest pack or whatever why wouldnt you do that one first and keep the one that clearly screams "Im the final pack!" after that?
The only way i see this not being the last pack is if there is another grab bag animal pack coming later, and that just seems less than unlikely
Looking at ZooChat, there are quite a few species that Dik-Dik are kept with. Okapi, Cranes, Nyala, Spurred Tortoise and Bongo, so lots of possibilities that are already in the game.
I hate how the only half decent chameleons ingame are my egg shell prop chameleons on the workshop, it was the last chance to get the most needed exhibit animal but nope we got more marquee tents instead.
Yea the tortoise really is an unsung hero and I think it will quickly become a favourite for a lot of us due to its versatility.
Not reading all these coments sorry. This thread is going to fast lol
But a couple of thoughts:
1. Bears: i'm happy we got the spectacled bear instead of the ABB but is super weird they only left out ONE bear species. Related to that, they use the anniversary spot for the leopard instead of the ABB, at least for completion sake.
2. Why all that work spent on the Sifaka and not something like a spider monkey that was way more popular? And why dik dik but not blackbuck or musk ox? But at least i guess we got a small ungulate.
3. I guess there was no reason to reach the 200 animals but really feels so close... Is very frustrating lol

So....should we have a thread in futility about the extremely unlikely chance of another DLC? like maybe a standard scenery pack thread? If nothing else, just for fun. I certainly don't want to get anyone's hopes up as I really don't see anything else coming, but I have thoughts too.
I just want to discuss a sequel at this point, loads of possibilities.
Id say just a Planet Zoo general chat for everything really, because imo there really isnt any point for speculation unless frontier confirms there is more

I'm done with specualitng another pack. If it comes great. I just don't want to entertain the thought of another pack for the animals i want and once more be dissapointed that i don't get them.
At this point i rather hope for a sequel that provides those than a new DLC.
Funny how in the end we basically got half of a mountain pack in this "Zookeeper animal pack"
Well, it depends on what is a random assortment for you, but I think the first pack like that was Conservation. And I don't see why another grab bag would be so unlikely. Two of the last packs of Planet Coaster were a bunch of unrelated rides.
There is no need to settle on a common decision about that already, the pack has been announced barely two hours ago Haha Let's wait until the release for any announcement from the CMs or for any hint while playing in the very special scenario.
I mean, nobody is going to prevent you from posting on the threads for the next two DLCs, they are already in this forum. I'm sure that less people will speak there than in previous speculation threads but that's all.
