Netting/Mesh objects for Planet Zoo

RoloGeert · Mar 31, 2020

The DLC's seem to add more thematic objects, and I'm quite happy with it. However at the end of the day I'm building a zoo and since most of the zoos have netted exhibits. I really want to see some netting options in Planet Zoo. This could easily be done by giving us mesh panels like the glass pieces who are already ingame. This would make me really happy, and gives me the option to build more realistic exhibits and even aviaries for my flamingos, which is better for their animal welfare, because they don't have to be clipped then. It's a win-win right. Well here are some realtime netted exhibits for inspiration.

Would be cool for that extra bit of realism that some players look for!

Indeed, I'd advocate for this as well. Mesh building pieces. Wouldn't be perfect (it's a bit harder to build big mesh tents like a lot of zoos have, or mesh domes) but it would be better than nothing, for sure.

I really felt that these objects were missing today as I explored the new DLC. I was struck with the urge to recreate Wellington Zoo's squirrel monkey exhibit (but with the capuchin) but of course it's not possible without mesh. Hopefully this idea is popular enough to warrant Frontier looking into it.

Good point. I always felt the need for netting, mesh and animals that go with them in the game since the beta. It has always been a favorite of mine for future updates.
