I'm Ready for an Exhibit Animal Pack Now

I know exhibit animals aren't everyone's cup of tea and I don't care. The inclusion of the fossa has made me want an exhibit animal pack.

Why, you might wonder?

To me it brings home the point that for a lot of zoos, certain regions are covered mostly by smaller animals, particularly reptiles and amphibians. Madagascar is one such region; lemurs are the obvious stars, a few zoos keep fossas, but a ton of zoos all over the world have Madagascar day geckos, chameleons, and hissing cockroaches, as one example. There's a similar vibe with Australia; dedicated Australian sections are rare, but a lot of zoos keep Australian reptiles, including blue-tongued skinks, shingleback lizards, bearded dragons and so on.

I'm ready for exhibits to be fleshed out a little more, and I'm willing to pay.
 
I always find reptile houses and vivariums really interesting, but the issue might be how many species should such pack include and sold at what price. How does 16 species plus new building pieces sound? Otherwise we need some system to have habitat and exhibit mergeable to introduce new species
 
Smaller and cheaper exibit packs between regular DLC’s would be really neat.

1 WE animal
4 exibit animals

For 4,99$

We could use some more smaller mammals and birds in WE and very needed reptile and amphibian species for regular exibits.

I would love to see:

  • Flying squirells from asia
  • Marmosets and tamarins
  • Sugar gliders
  • Slow loris
  • Macaws
  • Toucans
  • Hornbills
  • Touracos

  • Chamelons
  • Frilled lizards
  • Cobras
  • Sailfin lizards from Philipinnes
  • Geckos
  • Mata mata turtles
  • Smaller tortoises from Madagascar
  • Japanese Giant salamanders
 
I would totally buy an exhibits pack! To be honest building reptile houses is one of my favourite things to do in PZ.
A sort of "mixed" exhibits expansion would be awesome. So we get some new animals for the original exhibits (a cobra/chameleon/emerald tree boa/etc), we get some new animals for the WE exhibits, and we maybe get something totally new, like exhibits made in to aquariums, so we can have some small fish species, seahorses, etc. I'm pretty sure it won't happen, but I'd be very willing to pay for something like this.
 
Would love green anacondas for sure. I think we need different size exhibits though to accomodate differently sized reptiles (it already seems bizarre to me that iguanas and yellow condas and the like are kept in the same size boxes as tiny bugs and frogs.)
 
This likely won't ever happen since most people don't actually use the exhibits to enough of a degree to value a dlc pack entirely centered around static animals (in regard to the boxes). At least with the walkthrough exhibit we have lively animals to watch and make a really nice 'habitat' for them , but the exhibit boxes continue to be a disappointment.

If such a dlc comes with an update that overhauls EVERYTHING about the exhibit box, then yes I would gladly support this idea as the boxes are too big and too small for the wide variety of animals that could be placed in them
 
I mean, i like exhibits and i would be ok with something like this IF it comes as an extra pack other than the 3 regular packs we have remaining for this year and not INSTEAD of one of them. We don't know if support will extend past this year so i rather have three more packs with habitat animals than a full exhibit animal pack in place of them, even though i agree we are lacking in exhibit animals: more snakes and lizards, geckos and chameleons, cobras and green anaconda and boas and pythons and vipers, even more beatles and amphibians.
 
I made a post about this a few weeks ago
I proposed an inbetween dlc (example between April and June or July-September when we usually get our typical dlcs) that only accommodates exhibits.
Therefore people who only use habitat animals won’t have to feel pressured to buy this dlc and rest assured we will get our normal dlc pattern of 4 per year + these in betweens.
I seriously think we need more reptiles. Small mammals would be nice and maybe a few more amphibians.
Some people just hate the idea so much that they would rather see us who want exhibits not get it even if it doesn’t interrupt the 4 dlc cycles.

I mean as a further DLC it would be surely okay for me 😀
 
Similar to how cities skylines did dlc
There’s actual expansions/dlcs and then there is creator content packs that are priced differently and 100% optional and are typically not as strong as dlc packs
 
I would buy an exhibit DLC if it contained these 2 gems:

Emerald Tree Boa and Panther Chameleon

I've wanted the exhibits expanded on from the beta and would absolutely buy an exhibit DLC especially if it adds new sizes to both the boxes and the walkthroughs.

I just think there is so much missed opportunity. After reading a few thoughts on the sloth, there is potentially so much that could be done with the exhibits that seems so obvious and would probably make them more flexible creatively. I'd gladly pay for the dev time and effort.
 
I dont think we will ever get a full on exhibit pack.
I could see a reptile house dlc tho with 3 habitat ones and 4 exhibit ones maybe. Could nicely go along with an update to the exhibits in the free update
My choices would be:
-Argentine teju
-A smaller tortoise, radiated or red footed maybe
- idk african cro, alligator snapper or pig noses turtle maybe, tuatara could work as a habitat animal i think,

-a big snake, reticulated or burmese python
  • panther or veiled chameleon
  • tokay gecko
  • cobra
