The Africa pack is literally Egyptian themed
How many more Scenery packs do we need?
- Thread starter DarkTemplar
- Start date
That could be said about almost every theme, the amount of themes I've built out of a wide range of scenery pieces is almost double the amount of themes we currently have ingame. Often the argument is more themes = less pieces , less pieces mean better performance for those without expensive computers.
I allways find this silly, since the first animal pack people have been like "ah yes no more scenery needed" and it pops back up again and again and it just feels silly to have people praise the scenery themes to get better and better while other people want them to stop again.
Idk why though.
If you think about it, animals give an inspiration to build for something, while scenery gives you the tools to do so.
You can build for any animal not in the game and just pretend that they are asleep.
If anything, animal add the least gameplay whenever a pack and update drop, cause the scenery is what you use and the new updated mechanics are what influences your gameplay.
So why should we throw out those new tools in favor of 3 most likly rather clony animals?
Doesnt make sense to me

What about having a Middle East theme, which can contain Middle East scenery pieces as well as some Egyptian elements.
If the Frontier offers all the DLCs as scenery packs but provides most animals that require unique rigs and animations, that would be great since the Modders can fulfill those cloning species. But the Frontier still does copy & paste species through scenery packs (like Arctic Wolf) and ignores those species that can't be well done by the Modders like Tree Kangaroo. Anyway, pretend that we only have 4 DLCs left, how many scenery themes do you want for the coming 4 DLCs?
4, realistically 2
2 at most. I like the animal packs.
Any rumors about the Frontier's plan in the second half of this year?
If we only have two packs coming, the one in Spring probably will be a New World pack, with North American native theme and the species may include both NA and SA which likely are South American Coati, Walrus and two of Ocelot, American Black Bear, Elk or American Flamingo. Then the one in the Summer might be the Safari pack that offers Secretary Bird, Hamadryas Baboon, Serval, Nile Crocodile and some Antelopes. RIP Tree Kangaroos

I definitely think 2024 will have 4 dlcs, but let's make a challenge and say there is.... only one dlc left! This dlc would be a special final "expansion" of up to 15 animals:
2 arctic animals: walrus and muskox
2 european animals: great white pelican and mountain hare
2 NA animals: sea otter and ABB
2 SA animals: coati and rhea
2 AF animals: secretary and baboon
2 Asia animals: markhor and pallas cat
2 OC animals: tree kangaroo and echidna
2 arctic animals: walrus and muskox
2 european animals: great white pelican and mountain hare
2 NA animals: sea otter and ABB
2 SA animals: coati and rhea
2 AF animals: secretary and baboon
2 Asia animals: markhor and pallas cat
2 OC animals: tree kangaroo and echidna
- extra SA animal: howler monkey to round it up to 15
- 3 exhibit animals: spectacled cobra, panther chameleon and atlas beetle (an atlas is a collection of maps, just like the pack is a collection of animals from different regions)
We need the Indian Theme to be Flexicolor, that's what we need.
I'm still down for my wild west theme, but do take north america indigenious stuff. Mix of both would be nice.

What is the LATAM scenery? The engine of PZ is not good enough to run the aviary and aquarium, we might need to wait for the PZ2 which has upgraded engine. But it could be possible that the Frontier offers the flying bird in the same way as the butterflies in the future packs: 5 small passerines in WTE.
The engine has nothing to do with flying birds and aquariums, especally not the latter one.
+ planet zoo allready had an engine upgrade to the newest frontier engine when Jurassic world 2 came out, so even if a new engine was needed, they can patch it into planet zoo 1, no 2 needed
Latam is short for latin america, often we see examples from people asking for colorful buildings and decorations that would make a south/central america area feel authentic. It can also be described as Spanish colonial architecture if wanting a specific range of scenery to look at.
Then what are the differences btw LATAM and Caribbean sceneries, it looks like they might overlap a lot.
But the DLCs of PZ1 are almost finished and we still don't have aviary and aquarium, there are likely some technical issues that restrict the Frontier from offering them to the game. Anyway, what themes do you want for this game, if the last two DLCs are both scenery packs?
Some definitions of Latin America often include the carribbean so yeah pretty similar style of scenery. If we generalise scenery styles as Spanish colonial, then both examples are exactly the same, only differences will be influenced by regional cultures such as wall materials, roof materials and decorations.
