Spring 2024 DLC Speculation

Crap, I lost a lot of Info šŸ˜….

It seems like our community management members had been fired if I'm not wrong. Hope they have a good life and find another quality job! ā¤ļø
And for the future... I really think the end is very near. With the layoffs and saying goodbye to some members isn't a very hopefull thingy for the future.

If I'm honest, the only 3 crucial things that are left are South America, Monkeys and Birds. Yes, of course, this has been repeated 21377183916236 times, but at this time they are the only essentials left. We had covered almost perfectly Oceania, Africa, Asia and Europe on a single year (only some animals are left, but very few). What we have left of our old "musts"? Monkeys, South America and Birds. With the monkeys there is an easy solution, making a Latin America Pack with 2-3 new inclusions, that should be enough. And for the birds, a whole pack, and some inclusions in a Latin America Pack should be fine. They are, in my opinion, the last 3 essential things to add to the game. The rest are not as important as this 3.

A Latin America animal pack with the coati, mara, spectacled bear and Ocelot would cover our south american mammal essentials, with the addition of 2 monkeys the rhea and other animal. And then, as a final dlc, a pack focused on birds. Seeing how the community exploded of hype when the swan was announced, I can't imagine how a pack full of birds would be recieved.

Will the CM situation actually influence the content though? We may not get to see any more livestreams, but the content should, in an ideal world, still come, right?

It will definitely be sad to have to see them go, and we won’t get as much awesome community engagement, but that doesn’t really affect the outflow of content. Things aren’t looking good right now for Frontier, and I hope that everyone impacted by the layoffs will do well and find something else that theyā€˜re happy with.
 
Why are cats ok? Yet, when someone suggests a single dog species we don't need any more canids...
I love cats though and would like more. I'm just saying cats are just as well represented as dogs!
We actually have more felines in the game than we do canines. And yet...you're right. That's personal preference factoring into that though. Canids are my favorite group of animals. I'll take any they want to give us.
 
Times we’ve known for planet zoo have passed irrevocably. Community managers no longer exist. Whole department was fired.

It’s really sad to know that all of them lost their jobs just before Christmas it’s cruel really. Also because that they had to pay for bad choices of the management and their games at the same time are doing great in sales. It’s a paradox.
This community would never be the same without them šŸ˜ž
My feelings exactly. I'm pretty upset right now ngl. We won't forget these lovely CMs!
 
I'm gonna be honest. Is it really "Impossible" of implementing flying birds to Planet Zoo?

I know that freeflight it's more tricky, but I'm refering to a flying bird on it's essence, even if is from WE. Macaws, toucans, etc.
I'm saying this because recently a mod of a toucan was launched on nexus, and I gotta say that it is amazing. I couldn't believe what my eyes saw on that mod, it was like if Frontier made them! Even the animations (based on a freacking wolverine) are similar to a real toucan! Is it really that complicated of implementing them?
If a modder can do this, I'm 100% sure Frontier can.

If the next dlc is a Latin-America themed one, we need to see at least 1 bird, and if it's possible, a parrot.

don't post pictures of mods
 
Horrible news about the community managers, and awful timing too. I hope they got some kind of severance to help with holiday expenses and are able to find good opportunities in the new year.

I hope support keeps on coming, but... idk? There are a lot of potential packs that haven't been explored yet - coastal, farm, treetop, forest, Latin America, India, safari, alpine, the fabled feathered expansion... enough for another two years or more if Frontier decides to go that route.

I'm secretly hoping that Cities Skylines 2 being a bit of a flop will encourage Frontier to spend more time with PZ before going to a sequel, but who knows?

City skyline II is not a failure.
I'm holding on to the hope of a planet zoo 2, with new mechanics I wanted fewer customization objects, I like ready-made buildings, I wanted the enclosure environment to be done in the zoo tyccon style. I would change that.

Fewer customisation options has got to be the least agreeable (to me of course) suggestion I’ve heard in my entire time on this forum :ROFLMAO:

You have awoken every planet zoo builder and angered them greatly, that zoo tycoon is hated for its extremely basic building manner and goes against everything the planet series stands for. Blueprints with premade buildings and habitats is exactly what Frontier tries to cater to those people who dislike building anything. I'll keep building my 5000 piece entrances and I would expect a second game to allow me to again.

fewer customization objects?? More objects, like options, is always a good thing. You don’t have to use them if you don’t want to. There’s plenty of ready made buildings on the workshop, if you don’t feel there’s enough that frontier includes.

FWIW I’m in the group that enjoys the animals more than building, so it doesn’t have to be an ā€œus versus themā€ thing.
