Cool i would like to try it out. Here are my 25 species I wish to see:After roughly half a year, and following the requests made by numerous forum users, I'm setting up this thread in order to start another 'Essential animals meta-wishlist' where I record users' animals wishlists and put them all together on a meta-wishlist. Given that we've gotten 3 DLCs since I started the previous thread; this time around I ask you all to please post a list of just 25 habitat animals.
The more people participating, the bigger the sample size will be so better conclusions can be drawn. I’m writting down every user who posts their list in order to avoid having repetitions. I intend to keep this updated as much as I can. Last update: 28th September, 2023
Since December 2021:
#Important note 1: Everyone who has submitted an initial list with 20 animals is allowed to vote for 5 additional animals now!#
The spirit and basic rules of the thread will be similar to those of the first one. Which means:
- For the sake of keeping the same wishlist structure, I ask you to post your 25 essential habitat animals that you’d like to see in the game. Lists with anything above 25 animals will be discarded.
- Exhibit animals will be omitted from the main meta-wishlist. Exhibit animals include arthropods, amphibians, snakes, other small reptiles (< iguanas), small fish and mouse-size mammals.
- Flying birds and bats usually housed in aviaries will be omitted from the main meta-wishlist. Flying aviary birds include birds of prey, parrots, Columbiformes (pigeons), Passeriformes (small birds), Charadriiformes (gulls) and so on. Mainly ground-dwelling or semi-aquatic birds (mainly Waterfowl, Galliformes, Ratites, Pelecaniformes, Cranes, Penguins, etc.) will be added to the list.
- Extinct species will not be considered.
- As a general rule of thumb, animal species is the preferred category for animal submissions. Subspecies from already in-game animals are also accepted. Subspecies from animals that are not in-game will automatically be allocated to the superior species category. Specific domestic animals breeds are also accepted.
- To simplify data collection, those answers that include several species in one slot (eg.: 1. Sloth) will be automatically treated as a single animal and added to the most requested species inside that generic animal group (eg. in this case: Brown-Throated Three-Toed Sloth). This obviously leads to an underestimation of the total key requested animals.
WHY?
Explained here
Since April 2022:
#Important note 2:After every announced DLC, everyone who has submitted X votes to animals that have been added in said DLC can now re-submit an equal number (X) of additional votes ONLY if they quote their original post*1. This 'rule' has a retroactive effect*2; meaning that you can re-submit votes if your animals made it to the NA Animal Pack, Europe Pack, Wetlands Animal Pack or Conservation Pack*3.
*1For people that submitted a list before 25 animals were allowed (so only 20) but then made an additional 5, both posts or a combination of both should be included in the quote. Same applies for those re-submitted votes after each DLC. QUOTING POSTS IS MANDATORY.
*2If I find that any of the quoted posts have been edited recently, I will not allow re-voting animals to this user.
*3Original votes for a 'generic gibbon' and 'generic leopard' are allowed to be re-submitted.
