Oh I'd upvote that, it's about time we'd escape from placing feeder balls everywhere lol
wars have been started over this comment but yes.
This is all I want the animals to lay the eggs and keepers take them away to hatch in a facility
But that's so pointless and adds nothing to the gameplay. Which is also Frontier's stance on the matter.
I'm not going to dig through the forums to find out where it was said, but it was said.
Unfortunately I think that the orangutan will never be updated there is no way they would have wasted time on giving it brachiation animations if they were planning on red doing the model
I know. I said exactly that in my post.
You could say that for about half the feature people want.
But for me it adds realism the idea that birds and reptile don't just give live birth but are harder to take through the birthing process just makes more sense then having everything be the same difficulty to breed. Also for things like the platypus casual players may not even know they lay eggs one of the more unique things about monotremes.
so you want a camera mode which would require a whole new ui and menu when there is already something similar in the game that would have a small gimmicky gameplay loop.
also one of the biggest complaints I see about the game as a whole is that it is a glorified building sim ill welcome anything that add more gameplay and I do actually like our camera idea.
All I want out of a keeper mode is to not have to rely on the stupid keeper ai if they fix that ill be happy without a keeper mode.
When people want keeper mode this is usually what they are referring to maybe with like a click on animals or toys to play a petting animation I personally just want to not have to deal with the headache that is getting a keeper to function properly for a 4 habitat zoo.
Add another vote for this - I meant to include it in my list!
Forgive the long list, but I was trying to be exhaustive and throw my support toward some of the great ideas already implemented (while only posting once myself). Haha. Underlined text implies a new/unique addition from myself! Everything else is already represented in the list. Tried to make it easier on the vote-counter...
Major Additions:
Major Additions:
- Scaling: Ability to re-size all Nature and Construction objects. Would potentially be limited (e.g., only being able to scale 1:1 across all axes rather than change length, width or height individually) but would still allow creativity to be busted wide open!
- Thememaker's Toolkit: Pretty self-explanatory!
- Add random visits from Bernie Goodwin into the game from your zoo! I'm partially joking here but it would be fun to get random visits from the various in-game celebs.
- Reworks:
- African lion: Giving them a remaster to bring them up to "modern standards" would really let them shine.
- Clouded leopard: Just the jumping animation and I'm good!
- Exhibits:
- Exhibit Overhaul: Modular approach allowing for smaller boxes for smaller animals (e.g., the bugs shouldn't be in a 4x4 box) and bigger exhibits for some of the bigger animals (e.g., iguanas and anacondas)
- Non-walkthrough Exhibit: Sure, we can try to build over or hide the path... But it would be nice to just tick a box and have it go away!
- Feeders:
- Realistic Feeders: For example, smaller bowls/trays for prairie dogs or fennec foxes and larger elevated hay feeders for ungulates.
- Behaviours:
- Pangolin climbing
- Enrichment:
- Allow hammocks to be used by other animals (e.g., primates, other bears, big cats)
- Other features:
- Ambient animal effects
- Plants
- Foliage Brush
- More broken trees, branches and saplings
- Toggle foliage hitbox to null
- Flexicolor Foliage - Primarily for temperate trees and flowers!
- Rocks
- Volcanic Rock Flexicolor
- Faux Rock walls
- Gardens
- Additional evergreen shrubbery
- Signs and Statues
- Consistent Signage and statues for all animals in the style if recent DLCs!
- Mirror Statue Set
- Building Sets
- Flexicolor for base game sets (in particular the brick walls and indian-themed items!)
- Mesh and chainlink building set
- Aviary-style netting roof/building set
- Scenery Item Requests
- New fonts
- New editable signs: Additional shapes and sizes for editable signs, including a thin easily hideable (i.e., "null" sign) that is easier to embed and hide. Another great addition would be an editable sign that allows for paragraph breaks!
- New implied sign building pieces (e.g., smaller primitive pieces, straight lines that could be used to make implied info signs, restaurant menus, etc.)
- Staff facility objects
- Add all fence railings as placeable scenery
- Carousels: A single new ride that could come with a relatively "generic/null" feeling base and a range of 4-6 different animal "covers" that could be put over the seats. As well as a range of decals/signage and decor that would be perfect for decorating the top of the carousel itself! And obviously this would be usable for guests for a fee!
- Paths
- Null elevated path
- Null staff path
One way path
- Maps
- City Map
- Food and drink shops
- More food and drink shop options (in particular, I would like to see Asian cuisine, popcorn, pretzels, and vegan options)
- New Tables for restaurants (including some that are more in the style of the "benches" we have)
- Gift shops
- Plushies/Stuffed Toys
- Clothes Shop
- Placeables
- Binoculars
- Maps for guests
- Photobooth
- Elevators
- Existing facility improvements
- Null Wall options for staff buildings
- Media devices
- New custom screen sizes and shapes: New sizes and shapes for custom billboard/TV screen pieces (e.g., poster- or vinyl record-sizes; circle; hexagon; triangle)
- Custom signs lighting issue
- Control the Sun
Well that could be said for any of the reworks we all keep requesting, there's a slim chance of frontier moving development into essentially making a new animal so instead we got a half baked improvement of our orange gorilla swinging on thick logs instead of the actual rework we all wanted. As it stands votes have the orangutan at the highest requested rework in the wishlist. The only 'rework' that actually has a chance at happening is the clouded leopard where the only change it needs is to remove its slow jumping.

I hope they can rework tapir
I would actually add the carousel to major new additions. It is not just a simple scenery piece or a transportation ride. I know its similar to the carousel mechanics from planet coaster but entirely new gameplay (of sorts) to planet zoo.
Considering how commonplace carousels are, I'm surprised this is the first time it has been brought up.
Makes sense to me. But yeah, I'm a little surprised it hadn't come up yet in this list either! Especially considering how frequently it gets mentioned/brought up in random contexts.
I finally have some time to sit down and write my proper list.
Animals:
1) Add deep swimming for the Nile monitor
2) Add Africa tag to red deer (they are found in North Africa, as stated on the zoopedia)
3) Remove North America tag from the Capuchin Monkey (it should only have the South America / Central America tag)
4) Add North America tag to Baird's tapir and Spectacled caiman, since those two animals are found in Mexico.
5) Add Africa and Europe tag to Monarch butterflies (even the zoopedia says they are found on these two continents during migration)
5) Make emu walk-through
6) Remove walk-through from giant anteater
7) Giant panda appeal should be the highest in the game
8)Fix clouded leopard slow jumping animation
9) Add burrow to Arctic fox

12) Reduce habitat space for common hippo
Exhibits:
1) Smaller terrariums
2) Interchangeable exhibit biomes (for animals that have several biomes, we can choose which style we want)
Education boards:
1) Allow the use of education boards for walk-through outside the exhibit box (next to the box, like with normal exhibits)
2)Add aquatic biome icon to the education boards and images on TV for the 6 animals that got aquatic biome tag on update 1.13 (the 2 elephants, jaguar, Africa buffalo, Indian rhino and Nile monitor)
Enrichment items:
1) Make burrows flexicolour (on the outside) so that they can match any other rocks.
2) Add block of frozen fish to Formosan black bear
3)Add foraging wall to other animals, for example other bears (only sun bears can use it)
4) Add natural termite mount to aardvark and sloth bear
5) NEW: deer pinata (based on the zebra/pronghorn pinata)
6) NEW: scratching trees for the remaining biomes (we only have 2)
7) NEW: smaller version of foraging pool and foraging box

6) Add pebbles panels (like the mulch ones)
7) Add Missing small logo signs for just a momento and loony bloons

3) Fix the alphabetical sorting
4) Add collapsible headers for facilities management page (like we have in the staff management page)
5) Add Contraceptive button for exhibits in the exhibit window like the habitat windows has
6) Fix the terrain of temperate maps so that we can use the terrace tool and create shallow water

Does a central America tag even exist? The zoopedia states south america and central America for suitable continents while the actual tags only come under north or south america. Central America is part of North America so it isn't wrong.
Yes, the game tags are "South America / Central America" , "North America", "Africa", "Europe" "Asia", "Oceania" and "Antarctica". So Frontier has always put Central America with South America, separated from North America.
Or change the English name to Mackenzie wolf
