How does AI compare to other games and will their be Updates to AI

Hi I was wondering how the AI in this game for the Staff, Visitors and Animals, would compare to games like The Sims, or The Two Point Series?, or even your other game Planet Coaster?
I was wondering if their would be future updates for AI improvement in this game?
 
I can't speak for those other games but the ai is very similar to those found in planet coaster. It's pretty much the exact same model used just tweaked to be suitable for planet zoo. Much like coaster guests need needs taking care of, they have desired places to visit and will destroy your pc if you have too many of them. For staff, we have the same kind of service , mechanics, cleaners and security. Vets and keepers are new and have somewhat complex features in comparison to say the service staff. For animals well most animals seem to behave like their irl counterparts with many climbing over barriers like big cats so better make sure you put them in suitable habitats

I wish we would get ai improvements especially the pathfinding and attention span of guests, it's a daily challenge to micromanage guest needs while taking care of animals aswell. Animal and staff ai is thankfully good enough that it does not need any sort of upgrade, you just need to know how to manage them correctly

Hi sorry to ask another question, but regarding intelligence in the game, can animals mourn when their mate or young ones die?

I don't think so, animals don't seem to recognise that an animal has died and just carry on their lifes like nothing happened. Maybe some aspect of the welfare needs to drop but I have yet to notice. However zoo guests will notice and they will be unhappy if an dead animal is left in the habitat

Wolves and other animals that mate for life do mourn their partner if they pass away. It doesn't really show in their behavior, but it does say so in their 'social tab'. It will say "Unable to form a new partnership because the animal is in mourning" along with a timer.

🤔 Is that a new Feature? Don't remember that.
Something similar should definitely also be done for Primates. It can be hard for Apes to let go when their Baby dies
 
Would you say overall Animal Intelligence in the game is fairly good?, and better than the humans in the game?
Yeah I would, expect animal intelligence to be close to how real animals can behave. Sadly we don't have certain behaviours like herding, family groups etc but animals are still more impressive than the human ai by a big Margin

Agreed.

What's there is ok and the animation quality is good. I would love more interactions though, including interspecies interactions. Herding for things like deers all eating grass together etc would be great.
 
Would be nice if more features got implemented later on, I would love to find more sims like this game, that incorporate even more features.
