)Somewhere over the rainbow, bluebirds fly... Which means we're getting the bluebird pack, featuring bluebirds and blue jays and little blue penguins and finally a blue-and-yellow macawA branch (dev_release_branch) on Steam database just got updated 6 minutes ago for the first time in 3 weeks… looks like something is coming on the horizon… I think @Doran shared when these have kicked in in the past this signifies the next stage moving towards launch of something. Also it’s 11am here in the UK so they’re working late… to meet a deadline?
I forgot about the peccaryAlright I guess I'll throw my 2 cents at this speculation...
March 17 (Thursday) - Update Special Feature Reveal (plz variable exhibit sizes!
March 23 (Next Wednesday) - Update 1.9 Announcement
March 24 (That Thursday) - Central American Animal Pack Reveal (I really like @darthquell's idea! I'm on board!)
March 25-April 3 - Animal Reveals (with a few days off for polls, voting, etc. I really hope they do something like the N.A. Animal Pack reveals with the roadmap!)
April 4 - Developer Journal
April 5 - Update 1.9 and Central American Animal Pack Release
With the animal pack, just give me a collared peccary and a white-nosed coati and I'm good. I'm down with the Central America Animal Pack idea because I'm all in with the North American animals, with mods of course (50 N.A. animals!) and I would like to have some more official N.A. animals that stretch into the U.S. Sidenote: Yes I know that Central America is technically N.A. but I'm focusing on the Neartic Bio Realm, which only stretches into Northern Mexico. Anyway, I've gone off on a too much of a tangent. DLC hype season!
. Nice callSee I would love that. And for building pieces I am thinking feathers, skins, tusks, bones and complete skeleton
I'd like these pieces, but they might be a little morbid for the conservation theme... but yeah, small display pieces like this would be great!
Sure, from a chicken. But dead animal parts (IMO) are more than a little grim for a generally fairly lighthearted game, and I say this as an avid meat-eater whose family home was filled with hunting trophies. I'd like to see it because it adds realism to be able to build displays with them, but it feels a bit tonally odd for the game to allow players to buy dead animal parts for display.Why are bones morbid?
When was the last time you were eating chicken wings and said to yourself "this is just morbid".
More like this is just delicious
So here’s a fun story, the North Carolina zoo used to have a polar bear named Willie back in the day. I think I first saw him in 09? Anyway I wasn’t able to go back for a few years. Then in 2018 me and my buddy took our girlfriends so everyone could meet each other and have a fun zoo day.
Wow! I mean, it's certainly pragmaticSo here’s a fun story, the North Carolina zoo used to have a polar bear named Willie back in the day. I think I first saw him in 09?

Well we get to the polar bear exhibit and as we’re watching the bears do their thing I see a display with some polar bear fur and a skull. I’m chatting with the keeper at the display and I mention it’s good to see Willie again and she informs me he had actually passed away a few years back. A little bummed I ask what they ended up doing with his body, cause I’d always been curious if they had a little cemetery or cremated them. She awkwardly gesture to the table and informs me that the skull and fur were none other than Willie’s! How’s that for morbid?
... I'd love to be able to make a display like thatYou could make a fringe case that lesser capybaras aren't a distinct species and thus have capybaras proper in Eastern Panama. But yeah, capybaras are extremely unrepresentative of Central American wildlife. That'd be as dumb as putting a Central American tree frog in a South America Pack.
Me, too. Out of all the available options (aside from birds), Endangered Species is definitely my top want. It would include a good mix of species from around the world.
Unpopular opinion: I wish to have black rhino either in an endangered species pack or a new Africa pack...Me, too. Out of all the available options (aside from birds), Endangered Species is definitely my top want. It would include a good mix of species from around the world.
