Flamingo issues

[Matyej167]

Hi, Frontier!
I'm happy with that we have multiple Flamingo species in the Planet Zoo.

Just, there are some problems.

1. Size: In the game, the American flamingo is bigger than the Greater flamingo, but IRL the American flamingo is a bit smaller than the Greater flamingo.

2. Young animals: Also, this is a big problem, that in PZ the young Greater flamingo is actually modelled from the sub-adult (adolescent) life-stage, but not the baby stage. That is great, that the American flamingo is modelled from the baby animals.


I hope this brings this to the attention of the game developers and they fix both issues.

I haven't checked myself but this image from Leaf seems to depict them with a more or less accurate scale

But in the video of Cesar, the Greater flamingo seem smaller than the American flamingo.

I've checked in the game, the size difference between both species are correct. The only problem are the young animals.

Thing is, the ones that have the wrong baby model (or rather a different life stage) is the greater flamingo from base game so i doubt they would change that. I hope they do though, i guess the same model they use for the baby american flamingo could be used for the greater.

Did you see their size genes?

Did you see their size genes?

No, but the size of every animals (even in one species) is different.

So, Cesar maybe bought a smaller Greater flamingo, which is misleading.

I don’t think it was supposed to be misleading. Like you said. Sizes vary within a species; some American flamingos are bigger than some greater flamingos. If their size genes aren’t the same, I don’t think this is a big issue.
