I'm against copy-pasting of all animals from one game to another, all animals should get the desired amount of re-work before they go from PZ1 to PZ2, just giving 100% the same models again is lazy and cheap, and I don't want anything to do with both of those.
If they work on PZ2 they already do that for some years now probably, and modders create nice models in like a day, so I think professionals should do it even faster, no excuse to not include Orangutan and Bactrian Camels later in DLC, they can create such models within a week, they can always just re-work the models in a patch anyway, they proved this with the Binturang, why they didn't with the lion and hyena and others is beyond me.
I mean the fact that we had to wait like half a year between barnyard and zookeeper and alot of the animals still have issues and/or are lacking stufff is very much proof that creating those animals takes more than a day or a week
 
Essential. Its the a more iconic camel species than the Bactrian and we obviously need a camel in the base game.

Which category does it fit into?
  • Essential for Planet Zoo 2 Base Game
  • Save for PZ2 DLCs/Deluxe
  • Doesn’t need to make it but sure
  • Can be left out entirely
Doesn't need to make it but sure. Another one of those animals that looks amazing, has one of the best models ingame but that i don't personally need and would probably won't miss that much if it doesn't make it. It is more useful to me than the lechwe though so it could be DLC material as well.

Used them in my Asian Zoo and they are beautiful, so not opposed to them. They have a better model than the African variant. Wouldn't miss them too much probably if they didn't make it.

As an domestic a waterbuffalo would be a nice Dlc addition in concept, however for the reason why im mostly keeping out of this it really has no reason to not be in the basegame. The model is gorgeous and what else are they gonna do with it? Why not just add this model in the game and use Dlc funds to actually remake those ugly early models?

Imo the concept of this thread does not work cause all the zoo essentials are the ones that need overhauls and would benefit from a dlc treatment, meanwhile many more obscure later additions got gorgeous moddels that have no reason to not just be ported over to PZ2

Lol, all these realists that care about domestic/wild thing is kinda bizar, doesn't this animal just look 100% the same as domestic one? It's just a name difference...

I really like this one better than the African Buffalo, which I really don't care for, in fact I like Asian bovine species more than African ones...

This one is Save for DLC for me, I'm even a greater fan of the Gaur, the biggest of all bovine animals.
