Oh, my bad. My bad, @Marvinb
I thought you were talking about in-game animals behaviors, I didn't read.
Yeah, the interspecies enrichment doesn't do much. I think it adds some.kinda bonus, but I dunno what

The inter-species bonus basically acts as a side option to standard toy/food enrichment. So instead of scattering your safari areas with toys, you can mitigate the clutter by co-habituating compatible species.
It'd be more worth it if the bonus added more to it. It adds like 10 points
10 points per species is fairly significant for flexible species like red river hogs and capybaras. For a lot of African hootstock, there's enough options to completely replace enrichment objects entirely.
Yes, but for others where they don't have a lot of interspecies enrichment, it's low. Because then we'd have to out toys, which is fine but can ruin the natural look
One gripe i have with the whole system is that its just kinda made up. Irl the times where two animals actually benefit from living together are probably far and few between. For the majority its probably more indifferent coexisting, and some probably would prefer to be on their own.
Like zebras for example, from what ive heard about them i highly doubt any other animal would get something out of living with them. Heck of giving the opportunity most savannah mixed enclosures would probably vote kick the zebras out of there
And if say a zebra is enriched by sharing their space with a springbok, why wouldnt it be by a blackbuck?
So imo the whole "keeping animals together that live together in the wild" thing should be an education bonus for the guests if anything

Is there a explanaition of why the capybara gain the bonus with llama but not with alpaca, and why the donkey don't have it with any NA animal?
Because Frontier hates consistency, I guess
I think this is the best way to go about the interspecies system for a sequel as I agree the current system has been flawed from the start. It might be good for animal/plant matchups too. (Just as a bonus and not a negative though - I don't want to be penalized for having the "wrong" foliage when it fits my zoo's overall environment. Albeit that's incredibly minor in the current game).
I might be totally wrong on this but IIRC Zoo Tycoon 2 had a slight education bonus for guests viewing animals with plants from their environment in them (or maybe it was just a thought they had? Idk It's been a while since I've played and actually paid attention to guests in that game. Maybe it was animal combos too/instead? I genuinely don't remember but the point is that I think it's a cool system even if it didn't actually exist, and I'm just going insane lol). I'd love to see a system that expands upon that idea in a PZ2 with animal mixtures and to a lesser extent animal/plant mixtures (again without the penalty for having "wrong" mixes for the latter)
We're getting daffodils
That's it, I'm not joking
Seems to only be the new flower this time, probably some bug fixes aswell.
Also I've heard in one video that they replaced the old brown mulch texture with a new texture that honestly looks a lot worse... Hopefully they won't replace the brown mulch, and give us the new mulch as separate pieces
Hey so you know what's the worst part about this scenery?
WE STILL GOT NO COW SKULL.

No, it replaced the original mulch in our build. So no tricks here, it wasn't a separate piece. No idea if they had the intention to make it one, but at least it was said to be a bug and would be brought back to its original state on release.
Creo que es un gran error si es así. Es mejor tener más variedad y posibilidades. El antiguo servía para algunas cosas, y este nuevo es genial para otras.
De hecho, creo que deberían incluir oficialmente piezas de guijarros en el menú de búsqueda de piezas de jardín/construcción. Todas estas piezas son útiles y versátiles, a diferencia de algunas de las piezas más sofisticadas o del enorme catálogo de flores de plástico de gran tamaño.
¿No lo crees?

By the way... what time do you think the DLC will be available?
Does anyone know?
In about an hour?

Steam says in 2 hours. It does not count minutes though, so it is probably 11:00 or 12:00 CEST.

It is mostly made up and sometimes straight out dumb, yes. I can't see any Bison IRL thinking "thank goodness I got Paririe dogs in my habitat, now I feel better!" But I do like the concept in general. To not scatter enrichment items and because it is indeed true in real zoos in some constillations. I agree though, in most zoos other animals would like the Zebras outOne gripe i have with the whole system is that its just kinda made up.

Great, the moment I join a raffle and have to wait till the afternoon to see if I've won, the DLC finally releases early
Usually it's late in the afternoon.
