How many animals should DLC packs have

if you wish to bring back lost players or catch new, the dlc should be more convincing but that kind of games are made for a very niche audience (we are a special kind of elite ^^),

Ugh, gatekeeping much ?

Anyway

I am hoping for new DLC at the end of March/early April. Three months sounds about right.

I wouldn't mind 8 animal dlc with 4 South American and 4 Australian animals. Not many animals would need new rigs
(Koalas and Kangaroos on top of my mind, also tailed SA monkeys if they mean to implement them).

i dont understand, what "

Ugh, gatekeeping much ?" means, i only understand "gatekeeping" but i dont understand the rest or the context. especially "

Ugh" is not understandable. how one can do much gatekeeping? i makes no sense for me. is it an insult? then it failed, because i dont understand it. i also dont understand, what a green emoji means.

It means that quantity(much) of your gatekeeping makes me methaporicaly sick( visually=

, audibly=ugh ). I wouldn't call that as much of an insult as it is an observation.

Let's get back on topic shall we ?

no i still dont understand, what i did wrong. what exactly was gatekeeping? pls use another term for the problem you are pointing at.

Never mind then if you haven't understood

Back on topic, let's go

if you dont want to be understood, why are you posting something? (do you realy make the sound "ugh" when you vomit? its more like a cough and death rattle at the same time and turning green is too much of a clichee, we should not spread that AND emojis have no noses, that is very disturbing) i just realized, that i suffer from emojiphobia, so pls put an allert in your posts next time.

I am limited by technology provided by this forum and your unusual chronical diseases.

Right now that's all done, let's stick to the topic at hand please.

At least 5

yoav_r · Mar 27, 2020

I think at least 5 habitat + 2-3 exhibit in order to make it worth the money (assuming 10$ cost). If the packs continue to be themed, this would allow to make an area for the animals in the zoo. Making an Arctic area using only species feels too small, to me at least.

Firestar97 · Mar 27, 2020

I think 8-15 would be a good Amount. I really hope the Arctic Pack will be the only Expansion Pack with only 4 Animals

I’d like as many animals as possible to increase our zoo building potential and it doesn’t bother me if some of them are similar to existing animals. For example I’d love more tapirs. I think people who are knowledgeable about zoos appreciate this. As I have said elsewhere Baird’s tapir aren’t that common in Europe and I’d really like a Brazilian/lowland tapir as that’s more realistic, especially for smaller collections. And a Malayan tapir is a very different animal. But i guess there are people who would say we don’t need them as “we already have a tapir”.

I do think more than 4 animals would be nice as there are - so far - quite large gaps between DLCs but I still think the price represents very good value. Think of what else you could could get for that price and it compares very well. And I don’t have tonnes of money to throw around by any means.

I do like to have more similar animals and I think a lot of people like them but because there are so much unique animals still not in the game people want unique animals first

With the 2nd pack being announced, it's pretty safe to say we'll only get 4 animals per DLC. Bigger expansions are still a possibility but I don't see them happening, unfortunately.

Moonfox · Mar 31, 2020

At least 10.

7 large animals and 3 small animals.

I’d love to have packs of 20-30, and pay whatever they ask, but I understand that time and workload are factors and that simply might not be achievable.

I think that is the perfect balance!

Barje · Mar 31, 2020

I would surely pay more for big expansions,like, if we could get Aviary DLC with about 30 bird species i could surely pay even 25$, but that's maybe only my case.

VioletGrey · Apr 1, 2020

I'd be OK with 6 habitat animals and 2 or 3 terrarium animals per pack. I love that so many scenery/building pieces are included, though.

At this rate, it'll be a million years before we get any more interesting terrarium animals like emerald tree boas or kingsnakes.
