Possible building pieces and themes for future DLCs?

[PnGLINNyo]

It's been 3 years plus since the launch of Planet Zoo, with about 13 theme sets and heaps of building pieces from Base Game and DLCs combined. What more pieces and sets would you expect in future DLCs? (Excluding aviary pieces cuz we KNOW WE WANT THEM already lol )

Edit: Crud, who am I kidding
PLANTS TOO, C'MON GUYS!

 

[DragonNTiger]

Hmm... would a pack dedicated to plant life count as a theme set or building pieces?

 

[Captain Callum]

A building set of hundreds of pieces of flexicolor plaster , metal beams, and horizontal wooden plank walls. Yes I'm boring

 

[abigenius]

Maybe some Western USA theme, or a "island" theme, I don't know, but frontier always know how "invent" new themes for the game like the conservation theme

 

[jcp011c]

American Wild West/American Prairie/Frontier type of theme. It can be cliche type builds that's fine by me lol

Similarly, a Log Cabin theme. But separate from the Wild West theme.

Bavarian/Tudor Theme

I realize we can actually already create builds in this theme with what we have. In fact Frontier did that heavily in the European scenario. But we have to rely on building from scratch or making blueprints out of the various wall pieces- which I've done myself on both the Log Cabin and Bavarian themes. I would absolutely be thrilled to not rely on blueprints, but formatted grid oriented pieces already done with some design, yet not as a blueprint but as a single piece.

Also an Island or Caribbean theme representing the islands. I'm not sure exactly what I'd be asking for here, but I think I'd like it lol

Possibly also delving into the Grecian and Roman designs..we have some of this already in the classic set, it would just be interesting to see what else they could do.

Finally...and this one could be very divisive...a modern city theme. It wouldn't really be something we'd incorporate into our habitat builds, since zoos are not typically spread out through urban locations, but rather in one contained location, but having something like this could give us the opportunity to build a zoo with more urban settings should we so choose.

 

[PnGLINNyo]

I for one is anticipating official sunshade pieces. Not those Africa themed or Indian themed ones, something more tangible like the shade sheets we see in zoos and safari parks.

Also more convex roofings, to add more modernity to zoo architecture

Yess, thank you!
Someone who actually wants horizontal plank walls. And I assume it's like the horizontal version of the stained walls we have in Aquatic Pack?

 

[Captain Callum]

Yes the same stained walls from the aquatic pack. I actually prefer using the stained wood these days over the arctic wooden walls

Same here. The only time I use those walls is to recreate a really worn down place

 

[Marvinb]

Idk if decor probs count but i would love to see some more general zoo decorations, you know something to make the place feel live in. I was think about playground pieces, cars and so on. Something really cool would be a actual map of your zoo to put on billboards

 

[NZFanatic]

A grid-based chain-link and/or square-mesh set (with all the walls and roof pieces included).

A horizontal, flexicolour, wooden clapboard set.

Flexicolour corrugated iron roof pieces.

Off-grid panels of every path texture to cover up holes and better hide staff path connections (or at least proper staff-only barriers we can place on regular paths so we don't have to use staff paths at all).

In terms of foliage, I'd obviously like to see some NZ foliage make it in, hopefully with whatever pack eventually gives us the kiwi. I'd also like some flexicolour garden flowers, such as tulips, or garden roses, and hydrangeas.

I'd love it if the Australian road-signs were expanded to all the Oceanian animals in the game, too, including the base game species. They're literally iconic for our end of the world.

Speaking of NZ foliage, I believe you'd be thrilled to see a new plethora of ferns too, would you?

 

[NZFanatic]

I mean, if I'm being honest, the in-game tree fern and lady fern fill that niche just fine. We have our own giant ponga but it's not dramatically different from the tree fern in terms of aesthetic aside from growing much taller. What I'd like are kowhai trees, pohutakawa trees, kaka beak bushes, and the NZ white pine (which isn't actually a pine). I'd also like a set of tree fern logs.

Woah...that's a lot of flora. And really educating. What about rimu trees? Any known countries that grow them outside NZ? I mean Frontiers can still add them in game despite low horticulture records just like the mpingo tree.

 

[NZFanatic]

What about rimu trees?

That one, too. Also NZ flax.

 

[PnGLINNyo]

Also an Island or Caribbean theme representing the islands. I'm not sure exactly what I'd be asking for here, but I think I'd like it lol

I really love the idea of 'Island Pack' being a scenery pack, cuz as we can see @NZFanatic comments, it's not just animals that are native but also plants are unique too. With many of the NZ plants mentioned, I can also imagine Madagascar flora like Grandidier's baobabs, traveller's palms, club foot palms and more orchids! Not to mention there's even more from Central America and many of the islands on or around the Wallace Line.

Core zoo building set Possibly with Islands pack, it would contain:

-More mesh pieces with all shapes that other walls are available, like triangles etc.
- Netting pieces, but not like those we got in grasslands, but similar to what is used in real life aviaries and monkey habitats.

- More faux trees, like artificcial baobabs:

- More faux rock shapes, for example this texture:

- Artificial faux rock wall so we can easy build habitat edges like these:

- Functional animal doors that the animals can go in and out to buildings:

- Bird glass stickers that are used in zoos to prevent collision of real birds:

-Sawdust as bedding for realistic animal shelters:

Ohhh you tease YESSSS TO ALL THAT!
Especially functional doors like you say cuz we've seen the new plastic curtain doors in the recent updates, why not a proper animal doors for habitat use!!!

 

[Mr Weasel]

Aside from the already mentioned log cabin, mesh and woodchip/sawdust, I'd love a proper greenhouse building set with translucent glass like you see in real greenhouses (for example, here and here), a horizontal wood slat building set and placeable gravel.

If you consider paths part of scenery, then a concrete path without an ugly wooden yellow curb would be nice too.

 

[Aramar]

We also need a fire extinguisher for realistic buildings. We have gutters, AC machines, switches, cameras, taps... but no protection against fire

And I want more generic doors, windows, education board frames and shop fronts. The ones we have are all too themed and I end up always using the same ones.
