These are great features which seem will appear in pz 2
if you worked for frontier what would you add
- Thread starter tiger guy
- Start date
I hope so.
Sea and birds. Also starting to DLC by countries.
More staff to development, because more people = more chances to develop the game further. (indluding but not limited to birds, a better climnbing system, more monkeys, aviaries)
More budget, because more money = not so sloppy work (no more donkeys that sound like horses, so I don't need to slap upper management with a picture book for toddlers, who learn what sounds donkeys make).
I just want to mention that jellyfish would need their own specialised exhibit type. They need cylindrical/spherical tanks with constant cycling water or they pretty much just die. One of the trickiest animals to keep in captivity which is why most zoos and aquaria stick to the very abundant moon jellies.
If I worked for Frontier, I would...
...add the highly requested animals on this forum
...give the lion a proper makeover (and some other animals too)
...add a null staff path
...give paths a toggle with the option to "frazzle" at the edges, so we don't need decals anymore to have this effect
...add more wooden textures for building materials (I love the ones from JWE)
...add fish as ambience, like back then in ZT2
...revamp the ambience overall, like adding a heatmap that shows all the placed ambience gizmos
...call in a meeting with every construction smartdonkey in the world and let them overhaul the path system
...fix the slighty-off-axis issue!
...add a toggle for weather in franchise mode when the game is paused
...reduce space requirements for some animals
...try to optimize the climbing behaviour
...revamp the exhibits
...screw the negative effects of staff facilities
I'm sure there's more.

Aramar for the next Planet Zoo President!
You just made the best final DLC ever. All hail Aramar
Well i got a long list of ways to improve the management aspects of the game, so id do all of those and make the game worthy of its management tag
As long as you make it a separate mode or something, some of us like just having a freeform builder.
I mean thats what sandbox is for technically. But in general i prefer for a builder like this that the management is more optimisation oriented and less mandatory so that players that want to engage with it are rewarded for it, but players that dont arnt punished for it or atleast not to much.As long as you make it a separate mode or something, some of us like just having a freeform builder.
A good example is staff specilisation, it wont kill anybody when the bird specialist keeper takes care of the seals, but both optimisers and people that like to immerse themself in their zoos would surly appreciate it and put more thoughts into which staff they specialise for what and who is placed in which work zone.
I would add:
- A full MASSIVE marine DLC with:
Habitat animals: orca, bottle nosed and pacific white sided dolphins, manatees, belugas, sea turtles, sea otters, manta and sting rays, leopard, harbor, and elephant seals, black/white tip reef, great white, hammerhead, tiger, and whale sharks, and walrus.
Exhibit animals: seahorse, seadragon, jellyfish, moray and ribbon eels, octopus
Foliage: kelp, coral(I know, technically animals), seaweed
-Aviaries: toucans, macaws, birds of paradise, mandarin duck, Secretary bird, blue footed booby, puffin,
That’s it for now. I’m sure I’ll think of more later. Overall I’m very very happy with this game though.

- carousel
- ferris wheel
- all the water effects from planet coaster
- fireflies ambiance effect
- all planet coaster food brands
- new drink brands like boba tea and hot chocolate
- SIGNS!!!!!!! OH MY GOD SIGNS!!!!! The large signs are not nearly large enough and the font selection and the way they look are beyond lackluster.
- larger statues. 75% of the statues are too small, especially the reward statues. They look SO GOOD but I would love to be able to resize them or if that’s not an option, just increase their size by 50-75% or give 3 size options with the current ones being the smallest versions.
- hotels that let guests continue to walk in until they’re at capacity. Then start queuing. It drives me nuts how planet coaster lets you build a 100 room hotel but you can never fill them up because by the time a queuing group gets to finally walk in, another is already leaving.
- better filtering options for animals in the marketplace. I would like to be able to filter by continent.
- consistency with the nature organization. Option 1 should always be the smallest version and the highest number option should always be the biggest.
- redo the California redwood trees. As a native Californian, their appearance really frustrates me. The trunks are close but the foliage is so far from accurate. We also need a seedling and a few thinner trunked options. I added some pics from Armstrong Woods State Reserve for reference. One of my favorite places to go hiking and just spend the day taking in the sheer SIZE of those trees. Photos don’t do them justice.
- seedling and way smaller trunked bald cypress
- fix the cartoonish foliage to look more real, such as the birds nest fern and staghorn fern
- fix the lions appearance
That’s it for now. I’m sure I’ll think of more later. Overall I’m very very happy with this game though.
A list of Emcee’s ‘Frontier Fixes’:
• Split the Timber Wolf into Eurasian Wolf and Northwestern Wolf (remodel to match or exceed Arctic Wolf quality).
• Clone the Brown Bears, Tigers and Lion to add the Eurasian Brown Bear, Sumatran Tiger and Asiatic Lion (remodel to match current Frontier quality).
• Update Bactrian Camel model so it actually looks something like a Bactrian Camel.
• Signs for all in game animals in the naturalistic style of the recent DLC signs.
• Functional Play Grounds and Soft Play Areas.
• Hotels and Cabins for guest overnight stays.
• 2m and 3m Path options.

But dont we have that allready?
Thats basicly the heightmaps and otherwise the whole game is a map generator
