Some suggestions for Planet Zoo :)

I absolutely love the game. And I love the devs for listening to feedback!
Here are some suggestions for things I would love to see in the game.

Design elements / things that improve general atmosphere:

  • Add a pathway design for Asian design type
  • More pathway designs in general would be cool (e.g. tree trunks, oriental tiles as texture)
  • Let us choose our own "palette" for terrain painting, at least in sandbox (e.g. sand from tropical biome, grass from savannah biome etc. in one map)
  • Add guest hotels, maybe with guests wanting to have a nice view of the animals and an option for one way mirrored windows
  • maybe restaurants that offer food and drink and allows people to sit down for a while and enjoy a nice view
  • add playgrounds
Animals and plants:
  • Add koi fish or gold fish without any special AI to create small fish ponds (maybe even let some animals hunt for and kill the fish, or don't make them interact as all)
  • More species enrichment compatibilities!
  • Birds (and aviary enclosure)
  • Marine animals (+aquarium enclosure and aquarium exhibits)
  • Educational signs for plants and trees
  • More plant diversity in general, especially ground covering foliage and bushes (love the plants list so far but I feel like there need to be more plants! Hoping for updates or DLCs)
  • Add Ginkgo biloba trees please!
  • Set feeding times for animals
  • maybe allow training some animals e.g. apes or elephants to perform simple "tricks" or play ball with animal an trainer, add ability to make it a show for guests and let play time raise the animals enrichment bar (only non violent training methods, more to keep animals busy and show guests how they interact with the trainer)
  • allow guests to feed certain animals (e.g. peafowls) with special food they can buy from animal food vending machines
  • Make mammals feed their babies and birds and reptiles hatch from eggs
Settings:
  • Setting for Unlimited Power/Water automatically cleaned in Sandbox mode
  • Setting for maximum amount of visitors allowed in the park
  • Setting for maximum amount of visitors displayed
  • Add notification for vandalism
  • Let zoo workers automatically fix vandalized benches etc.
What features do you guys want to see in the game?
 
I see a few of the above are implemented as at 19/01/20.
A few others:
Have filters and search facilities on zoopedia (e.g. all animals/exhibits native to Africa.)
Have autocomplete for paths (also for Planet Coaster). So frustrating then only a small difference in height but all attempts to join up fail
Set keeper's food inspections daily
Make plain wood artifacts paintable
When modifying barriers' height or laying paths shown as obstructed then show reason and what/where the issue is
Indicate in habitat information the number of feeders ideal
Make smaller letters available and possibly more fonts.Possibly make a sub category.

probably more, but this is the list which impact my zoo building.
 
Have filters and search facilities on zoopedia (e.g. all animals/exhibits native to Africa.)

Yes! And a search function in the animal tab and on the animal market would also very useful, instead of having to scroll through the filter. Especially when there will be even more animals via DLC in the future.
 
As an addition to my previous post I would like the zoopaedia available online as well as being in game. Having to switch between that and the trade centre losing position in each is an absolute pain.
Again with filters to select subsets of data.

One enrichment item I’d love to see in game are poles or a broken climbing tree with meat. This gives big cats some exercise while rewarding them at the same time. The lion photo is from the Denver Zoo. I’m not sure about the tiger photo but I’ve seen this zoo do the same with lions.
