🐾Planet Zoo - Update 1.13 coming 4 Apr🐾

I know I can be quite impatient, too, so you definitely ain't alone, Brandon.
I'm anxiously waiting for the announcement, after all
It’s just I’ve been dealing with this problem since the twilight pack came out and nothing has been done about it just like when I get “No Path to Destination” for my quarantine buildings and I still do I just want to apologize for being so impatient.
 
This is all so great that I wouldn't even know where to start! There's just one part that confuses me though, and I'm wondering if anyone can clarify:

"It is unlikely that all animals in a large group will be bonded but, for example, it can allow for more than one male to remain in a matrilineal society (i.e. the alpha lion's brother being able to remain within the pride)."

This doesn't really make sense to me, because matrilineal societies never tended to prevent multiple males from hanging around. For instance: hyenas, bonobos, meerkats, and lemurs are all listed as matrilineal I think, and they always tolerated multiple males in their group. Which is accurate to life. Lions aren't intolerant of new males because of their matrilineal nature-- the females don't seem to care. It's the male who keeps other males from joining the pride.

Perhaps they meant to say "patrilineal" instead? After all, it was mostly patrilineal animals, like hippos, many of the hoofed animals, and gorillas (I think) that wouldn't allow for more than one male to stick around. So now things have been changed so that patrilineal groups will allow more males to stay, if they are brothers to the alpha male? That would make more sense.

(Note that matrilineal means female-led, or "based on kinship with the mother or the female line." Patrilineal is the opposite.)

Agree, except I think they actually mean patriarchal. Matralineal doesn’t mean female led (that’s matriarchal) it means inheritance follows the female line (i.e., for animals, that social rank is inherited from the mother) So, I think they made 2 errors - they said “matri” instead of “patri” and “lineal” instead of “archal”

Dear @Eltanin Casciani please also remember to reveal what animal sounds have we heard during the livestream. We are really curious about that. Thanks for everything 😚😚
Animal Sounds? I should definitely watch it then😃

At least the last Time I was able to play, the Ring Tailed Lemur still had a Social Structure similar to Baboons in the Game. Did they finally fix it? If not, at least the new Feature will make it a little bit better
 
No Clue what the first Sound could've been. Probably either a Bird or a Primate (Lemur?)

Absolutely no Theory about the second Noise

I'm trying to find out
 
I am very curious about the roster... Hoping for a manatee 🤞

If it has a manatee I'll buy it. The hog, fossa and sloth are not enough to convince me. Fossa is the most interesting out of these three for me.
 
Just to get the actual update back to the top of the thread list.....that it doesn't look like we get a new South East Asia Pack... (and less people have heart attacks while waiting for news and the old SEA-Pack thread pops up)
 
I'm not sure if anyone has brought this up, but being able to make null paths means that we can have walkthrough exhibits with no visible paths, even though they're still technically there. That's the next best thing to being able to just delete them.
I thought of that, too. Another question that's been answered, I'm sure: can guests see inside of WEs from the outside?

Will definitely use that in my Petting Zoos 😊🐐🦙
