Add four cool animals to that and would love it as a regular pack, just saying!
Spring 2024 DLC Speculation
- Thread starter The Carcharodontogenius
- Start date
I also saw that.
I suppose something was wrong with the link it was not opening from the first second.
Wait, making things cost money?
Don’t be ridiculous, obviously Frontier can pump out DLCs forever!
Considering their financial situation the money made with the console version will probably be used for a lot of things not just PZ support so it really means nothing for PZ PC. Unless is a great success and they consider continuing support because of new engagement to the game and SO new potential buyers for new DLCs but they would have to make the new DLCs avaible to consol as well. They already have a lot of content for the content versión for the next year with the DLCs that already exist.
I honestly think a Caribbean pack can be a stealth South America pack:You know what one animal would go well with all that Carribbean scenery ?
- Caribbean Flamingo
- Brown Pelican
- A howler monkey (one species is native to Trinidad) or as a representative of an invasive species the green monkeys
- Roseate Spoonbill/ cayman blue iguana for our first habitat iguana please?
- Exhibit: maybe our first fish! Or hermit crabs
Even if, 22 more animals + 4 exhibits and 2 scenery themes is pretty dope.
Even if half of them would be ungulates, that doesnt have to mean that its a bad selection as there are still some pretty neat ones left like:
Asia Ungulate hole:
- Black Buck
- Nilgai
- Markhor/Himalayan Thar
- Reevees Muntjak
Domestics:
- African Dwarf Goat
- Shetland Pony
- Kunekune Pig
- Some cattle like wattusi, dwarf zebu or scottish highland
General Neat Picks:
- Barbary Sheep
- Southern Pudu
- Musk Ox
- Common Eland/Dik dik or any other more special antelope
Those are 12 ungulates that still would greatly add to the game and even in last years ungulate infestation we "only" got 10 ungulate, 11 if you want to count the free peccary and last year still had alot of bangers like the porcupine or mute swan that enhanced the game by alot so even if we get just 2 or 3 of them, lets say tree kangaroo, baboon, duck, then id say another year would be absolutly worth it

Thats not fun as a carribean pack though.
Rhinoceros iguana and a hutia are just sitting there with potential and even the cuban croc has more things going for it then many other animals.
If you allready make a pack about a very unique ecosystem actually embrace it and focus on what makes it special and not just a rebrand of somewhere else
Also thisCaribbean screams manatee!
Although it’s him who shall not be named

All of that is very true, honestly when I make packs I subconsciously think of what frontier might pick.
I WOULD LOVE THE MANATEE, and the hutia is a very cool animal, and the Cuban croc has very cool conservation. But if Frontier can make Arid another stealth Africa pack, they can make any pack anything.
To put it simply:
If it costs $5 and takes 3 months to make something... And you can sell it to 100 people every 3 months for a year at $10 per unit you'd be making $2,000.
If it costs $2 to do the same thing and you sell it to only 50 people every 2 months for a year at $10 per unit (same cost)... It's $2,400. You're making more money taking this option and you're freeing up other resources to make significantly more money on something else down the line.
Meanwhile, those things you made for $5 each are still selling on the shelves without any need for additional investment of time or money on your end (i.e., assuming new games do 1 million units each @ $40-50, when you compare that to DLC sales the potential DLC revenue in the moment is just pocket change).
I'm sure somebody smarter than me at math can come up with a better way of framing this but that's about it.

Honestly going a little crazy, a coastal scenery pack with the west indian manatee, coconut crab, oystercatcher, sea otter and a coralreef exhibit would blow my socks of and be propaply the most game changing thing thats somewhat reasonable we could still get.
I would love love love lobe love that

I don’t think leaving the pieces in a separate pack is a good idea, like how would you even market that to get peoples attention? I would do 3 animals and 75-100 pieces for 5 bucks.
Example:
Tranquility Pack
Discover spring in a different light by exploring nature as it is and as it should be. Watch the blossoms grow and see the colours brighten with the Planet Zoo: Tranquility Pack!
Take a walk through the meadows and fields of spring and discover 3 new species; the adorable European Hare, the majestic Mallard, and the powerfully prancing Blackbuck!
Alongside this pack, you will have access to over 80+ new spring themed pieces including a variety of new flowers, vines, trees as well as a few new construction pieces like new wooden turbines, walls and more!

A coastal pack without a pelican should not have the right to be called a coastal pack.
- 2 monkeys, preferably out of howler, spider, tamarins and white faced saki
- patagonian mara
- coati
Big gap to one out of rhea, ocelot, another monkey, any bird, spec bear, wild camelid, agouti
Honestly that would be am absolutely amazing pack:
- First fully aquatic animal, the mods would be amazing.
- First habitat invertebrate, also being such a smaller animal it can be a perfect filler area animal
- Cold water animal
- Very underrated bird in my opinion, also be our first true seabird (in terms of animal group, yes penguins are also birds found in the ocean). Also being a very unique bird among the line up.
- The exhibit boxes already look like giant fish tanks, might as well finish the job. I imagine you buy the animals in one bulk group, so by buying “reef animals” you can place down an immediate group of fish and invertebrates. Or, you can breed individual animals, but they can all share the exhibit box.
I prefer an actual sea bird for the bird in a coastal pack for the new option it offers specific to coastal enviroment.
We can get a pelican it potentially any pack frontier desires, but an oystercatcher which is found frequently in seabird aviarys in zoos and a representative of the wadden sea while also being found allmost worldwide?
Thats a fight the oystercatcher is winning, hard
- Rhea
- Patagonian mara
- Howler monkey
- Second monkey of choice - golden lion tamarin, spider monkey, squirrel monkey, white faced saki etc
- The fifth option is highly debatable - Andean bear, roseate spoonbill ,an ibis, ocelot, two toed sloth and several others are equally as important
