Spring 2024 DLC Speculation

Not at all
People would still be singing the praises of the usual ones but with much higher regard of the squirrel monkey
Its not a bad addition mind you, its just worse then the squirrel monkey in every way
nah you would need less pigs than that - factor in that 65kg is only the human grade meat yield that would make it to the butcher (dress weight) and not the skeleton and organs and offal that a lion could eat. (actual weight) theres a lot of lard too that would likely be unhealthy for a lion but the actual consumable amount for a lion is more around 200+kg per adult pig. pigs typically reach 225-350kg depending on breed, gender, diet, activity level, and age. side note - the fat is why most zoos tend to use horses, goats, or something else as high fat can cause pancreas issues in predators
Idk probaly in the top 10 SA monkeys, but at the lower end at 6-10 would be my guess. Also depends on what would be in the SA pack instead.
Capuchins are probably the most well known south american monkeys due to their prevelance in movies, like night at the museum and pirates of the caribbean. So i think there would be decent demand for one.
Oh yeah that makes sense
I don't think their really is much of a topic these days , the topic at hand changes every 3 hours - 2 days.
I feel like it'd be considered the nominate South American monkey species. If it was never added, I'd wager it'd be in the Top 5 most requested animals of all time, replacing the howler.
It's an interesting thought exercise, thinking where animals already in the game would fair amongst the community desires, if weren't already in the game. Not your ABC zoo icons (lion, giraffe, zebra, tiger, bear, gorilla, that would be ridiculous), but folks like snow leopards or cassowaries or tapirs - not necessarily known by the general public, but zoo staples and faves amongst animal fanatics.
That reminds me a lot about the capybara, it was so requested the Wetlands pack was huge! Not an ABC zoo animal but way too popular to not make it in game.
The Capybara is the one animal I would consider the poster child for what community support can do to get an animal in the game. Definitely not an ABC animal as you say, and I wouldn't even think they'd be popular enough to make it into a base game, but by the time of the Wetlands pack, it seemed like nearly the entire forum was united in efforts and wants to get our giant rodent friend in the game. Like, there was absolutely no way Frontier could ignore it at that point.
Squirrel monkey interspecies enrichment when frontier?
I know some people don’t care for them, but I would absolutely take a squirrel monkey.
Also a looney tones movie is coming in the fall with Daffy in it! It just makes me ask myself what kind of duck do I want in the next dlc? So many choices! These are my top 3/4:
- Mallard, basic choice but I think that’s what makes it so usable. Can be replaced with other NA ducks like the ruddy or wood duck. The issue is the mallard has such range it’s hard to pick over it on representation alone.
- Mandarin, the basic exotic pretty duck. Can’t be beat.
- White faced Whistling, I’ve made my case on it before. Africa and South America representation perfect indoor rainforest duck.
Bonus ducks:
- Any teal
- African Pygmy goose
- Goldeneye or Bufflehead
- A merganser
- Northern Shoveler could work as another duck native to Europe and NA
- Harlequin duck
- Common eider
I say howler as well, seems to be one of the few South American monkeys other than the white saki that are common enough in the zoos I build.
If i could choose just one id choose either a spider monkey or a tamarin.
Both would need some extra effort to pull of and both modders and frontier could easily reuse that baseline for further releases.
If they ho through the trouble of creating a functional spider monkey rig i cant see them not duplicate that just like with the gibbons.
My prefered two species would be geoffreys spider monkey with the most holdings worldwide and beautiful colormix of brown, black and Gold and the redfaced spider monkey for adding a black variant with a striking face and among the next most common in south america with 31 international holdings, 14 of those being south american, but also 2 asisn and 1 african zoo with the rest scatterd around europe and NA

Native to the Amazon you say? I got just the cute fella for ya:
Though I doubt whether a monkey is truly native to the Amazon will matter, people just want a SA monkey
