I've been on the forums here and there today, and I'm a little surprised how angry some people are, or how rude they way they're choosing to say things is. Making a game this complex is hard, and even professional game devs have feelings. Feedback is incredibly important, and definitely needed. Issues and complaints help the dev team do their jobs to the best of their ability. But rudeness isn't going to help anyone. Any game, regardless of how polished, old, or how many people worked on it, will have glitches. Detailed feedback will help the dev team sort it out. But I wouldn't think anyone would want to hear some of the things people are saying after 2 years of incredibly hard work.
The big bugs will be squished as soon as possible I'm sure, and as far as animals you wish you had in game or features you feel are missing- there's always DLC or patches. There's a huge number of animals in game already, and I'm positive we'll be getting more in the future. New features and systems can be added over time. Frontier has been absolutely wonderful through this whole process. They've already demonstrated they're listening to the Community feedback by adding in an offline franchise mode, and their presence on the forums. I'd say, let's have a little faith in the team who has already worked so hard on the game, and a little patience.
If you find bugs or have any issues, file a report with as much detail as you can give. Add to this great community and game by helping as much as you can, kindly. I understand that things can be frustrating, especially in a game that you love. But reasonable expectations and calmly given feedback is the best way to improve this game that we all care so much for.
That's my two cents, anyways. Thanks. ☺

It's been over 10 years since we could look forward to a zoo game with this much depth, and now that I'm playing it, no game I've ever experienced comes close. There's definitely things I wish were in the game- my biggest wish would be a lineage (family tree) in game and newborn/egg stages, along with nesting behaviors. I definitely feel confident that Frontier is going to keep working on the game, both in the form of patches and DLC, so I'm not too worried about anything I feel is missing. There's so much content here it's mind boggling.
