*******EDITED FOR UPDATE 2 RELEASE! THANK YOU FRONTIER!
More customization to our parks themselves is still needed, here are four categories of ideas.
Mirror imaging for decorations and buildings: Being able to have a mirror image of our hotels and spino-skeletons will allow for more customization of our parks without brand new items. Mirror imaging is a tool that we only have for amenity buildings but other items will greatly benefit from.
Landscaping:
Fern brush- ferns can exist in many biomes and can be color matched to its location. Doesn’t spawn any grasses along with it so you can have ferns on flat ground if you want. Sizes vary from small to large.
Floral Brush- The ornamental brush has a lot of small flowers in it, but the floral brush will ramp up the diversity, density size and color of the flowers. The flowers will match their biomes.
Bamboo brush: Bamboo is excellent for landscaping and it comes in different colors. We can have green, yellow, black and red bamboo. Bamboo is fairly hardy and can exist in all biomes.
Dark brown dirt/ mud brush- This has been teased in the previous game and would be great for both enclosures and landscaping. We can use the brush as garden beds and place other plant brushes over the top.
Red Earth brush: In some deserts and tropical forests the soil is a rusty red color. This would add a lot more individuality to our landscapes/ enclosures.
Hedges- I think these should work differently from a placeable object- instead you should be able places hedges down like a fence- choosing straight or curved lines of them and how close to paths or other buildings they can be. Behaving like a fence allows for more customization, such as making a maze or simply lining gardens and fences. The hedges will match the biome they are in. The can also be different heights, like small medium and large.
Buildings/ structures:
JP/JW era Convention center- Convention centers are large and bring in more visitors, raising the demand for hotels. Convention centers are big, have 4 pathway connections and modules like amenities for customization.
JP/JW Grand hotel: Huge building that has a restaurant connected to it. 3 Pathway connections, huge capacity but expensive and are a energy hog.
JP/JW Museum- Odd maybe to have a museum in a biological park, but it can make for a interesting tourist attraction. Like the park itself, you can add fossils to the museum to up it’s rating and visitation. It is large and has 4 path connections, and you can choose different options for the exterior.
JP/JW Art gallery/ Exhibit hall- A large building that offers art galleries and different kinds of exhibits. It has 6 path connection options. You can customize the exterior.
Plazas: Plazas can be chosen from different presets, with square or circle shapes. All the edging around a plaza can connect to a path. You can place buildings and decorations on or connect to plazas unless there is a centerpiece in the middle or preset decorations like gardens or benches. There will be plain plaza options too so you can place what you want on them. Plazas are large, and can be color customized.
Fountains: Added in Update 2! Benches or other kinds of seating will compliment them if added.
Decorations:
Floor lights: Flat circular lights that can be placed on paths, the ground, in water, on plazas or in lagoons. For making a water centerpiece having them glow in the water will add a lot at night. They can be placed individually or be lined up like building a fence. You can choose the colors of the lights.
Placeable trees: Added in Update 2!
Koi/ water garden ponds: Ponds can come in small medium and large and you can pick from koi ponds, aquascaped ponds or having a blend of the two. The edges of the pond can connect to a path. They can be square, circle or rectangle shaped. It would be funny if escaped fish eaters would eat out of koi ponds.
Statuary: Statues can be placed on paths, plazas or plain ground. Statues are usually life sized depictions of important people (John Hammond, Dr. Wu) or the animals themselves. If adding statuary, be sure to have some for land, marine and aviary animals so those can be placed near the facilities that house them.
Statues can be individual animals or groups of animals. Some statues can have different poses for the same animal- like a Trex roaring and another T rex sniffing the ground.
Statues can be made of different materials- white marble, bronze, wood, concrete ect. Or having different types/ patinas for fewer materials can work as well.
One thing that would really make statues great is to be able to mirror image a statue- so a roaring Trex can be on either side of a path and roaring in two different directions.
Skeletons:* 1 Added! More needed!
* Replica skeletons of our land marine and air animals would be another decoration option. They can be made to resemble actual bones or be made of different material like bronze. Life size skeletons would be ideal to have a visual impact, especially with big animals. Mirror image options will give more customization options.
Paths:
I have to get this off my chest- I literally facepalmed when we have the EXACT same paths from the last game. Nothing new, no customization. All paths should have different color options.
Upgraded fancy path: You can have more color options, like black, white, silver, brown ect.
Wood path: Can choose different types of wood like dark red or brown to natural colors. Comes in all available sizes. Can have different patterns to the boards too.
Stone paths: can be made from small river rock to large stones, different colors options and comes in all available sizes.
Natural paths: They look like pounded dirt paths with plants that are connected right on either side of it. The dirt can be color changed while the foliage along the path matches your biome. Comes in all available sizes.
Another path customization option is that paths can also have optional lamps/ floor lights lining them, making it easy to light up your paths at night.
