Spring 2024 DLC Speculation
- Thread starter The Carcharodontogenius
- Start date
To this day I still think of every animal the golden lion tamarin is Frontier’s biggest missed opportunity. More so than any other monkey, bird, baboon, reptile, etc.
What animal is more universally recognized for the role zoos played in its conservation? Very few, with two of those animals coming in the conservation pack. Obviously these are hundreds of other species around the globe, but none as as common ore recognizable as the GLT.
I’m happy we got the siamang, but the GLT was begging to be included in the conservation pack.
If only the WTE was introduced just one pack earlier
How Would You Lot Do A Temperate Pack?
I'll Start
Temperate Pack:
I'll Start
Temperate Pack:
- Mandarin Duck
- Short-beaked Echidna
- Wapiti
- European Pine Marten
- European Stag Beetle
- Native American Scenery Set
- American Black Bear
- European Pine Marten
- Wild Turkey
- Mandarin Duck
- Short-beaked Echidna
- Pyrenean Chamois
- Wapiti
- European Stag Beetle
If we get a Bear, I hope it's either the Spectacled Bear, EBB or ABB we get & not another Asian Black Bear.
Idk, I’ll always find the WTE animals a tonne more interesting than exhibit boxes, simply because of how they are implemented.
I’m also strongly against the Tamarins being confined to the WTE, so that rules them out for me. I’d love to see them, just as habitat animals!
I wouldnt be worried that its something else than these 3 seeing how they are the only ones left
Treetops pack without NA porcupine would not be complete for me. Unique arboreal rodent would be great for that.
Not sure why they are not popular at all even within the US player base. In my opinion it would bring much more to the table than ABB and believe me I love all bears.
In Europe we love these guys at zoos. They are active all year round and present really unique behaviors.

No one’s actually said they want frontier to abandon piece-by-piece.. Iben said he wouldn’t be overly surprised to see it happen but explicitly said he wouldn’t support / like it.I can excuse people saying they prefer waiting for PZ2 instead of getting a new DLC in the thread about new DLC speculation, but I draw the line at users of Frontier's forum saying they would like if Frontier abandons its staple piece-by-piece system for building games
And we were thinking that discussion was dying with all this talking about "the end is near"...
I would love to see this guy in the game. Even more than Brazilian species.
I just wouldn't want it, if it means taking the designer's time off of other animals in such pack (Mostly monkeys (Mostly Spider Monkey)) like Crested Porcupine did.
But personally, in vacuum, is in top tier of my wishlist
I would not like them to abandon the system but it would be great if the game could contain more well made blueprints that are actually placeable.
A lot of blueprints from the workshop are very hard to place properly and there are a lots of people who are not great builders.
I agree - I’ve wanted an arboreal porcupine, whether it’s the NA or Brazilian, since we got the ACP
Another awesome rodent for NA, and something I can see in the wild by my home. Yeah I’m down for it.
This guy gets it. Spider Monkey for the win
Either them or the Brazilian Species are equally amazing and would be great to get, I just don't want them to pull an african porcupine and spend all their time on it and leave none for the rest of the animals in the pack.
And TBH there's so many ways to accommodate middle ground with the right creative mindset. Just a few ideas/examples that come to mind: Creating a tool similar to what we have for terrain editing where you can "stamp" buildings of certain sizes/shapes/heights to get you started. Adding a material swapping tool like PK has. Adding a foliage brush (e.g., a palette of up to 6 different plants and/or rocks that it will place down at random based). Adding map skirts that feel "fuller" from the start. Adding an "auto-roof" feature or having preset blueprints with full roof set-ups (e.g., give us the pieces for rooves, eaves, and gutters all separately but have presets that include these built-on already).
Having better in-game tutorials and explanations for what certain pieces are is another thing that could help too. There's so many pieces in this game that I had to google what they were because I had no idea how they were meant to be used...
And those are just random ideas I've come up with just now! There's so much room for them to make it easier for people while also allowing folks who want to build everything piece-by-piece. And let's be real here... Even people who like building everything could find use in some of those tools above.
Hoping we get two to compensate for year one. At least one habitat one exhibit.
The blueprint system is horrible they are just glorified facades. The inability to add pathing create proper habitats or prevent terrain collision when placing them make blueprints suck. When I first played planet zoo I didnt know how to build so almost exclusively relied on blueprints biggest mistake I ever made. Blueprints and paths made me not play the game for over a year because I just couldnt get either to work.
Also I agree most people have too many unrealistic expectations of themselves. Toning down the detail of my builds and working on a smaller scale has helped so much with both lag and motivation.
Im so sad both my april and may animals are already in game the red panda and red kanagroo
There fixed it for you
Im still salty we have 3 different tropical monitors and not a single desert one especially one from a continent known for its big monitors. I do agree tegu is a better choice though more diversity is always a good thing.
Nile and komodo do live in grassland and more arid type envoironments tho, so its not like they are all tropical rainforest species
