Spring dlc Speculation 2023

Hot take: the new SEA pieces are awesome, but they should have came in the actual SEA pack from a few years ago. The SEA Animal Pack should have been a scenery one, with four habitat animals from that hyper-specific area.

Had things been done that way, this Tropical Pack could have pulled from a great variety of animals and areas. Making the “Tropical” DLC theme ever so perfect for an animal pack. But alas..
Imagine how great that could’ve been. Gladly trade out the Dhole, P. Monkey and the not-Malayan Tapir for scenery and added a New World Pirimate, Coatimundi and Tree Kangaroo or another New world primate or brazilian porcupine in the final spot
 
Is the pig Buddha culturally insensitive?
This is belated due to the sheer amount of posts pouring through, but: thankfully no, as it's not a Buddha. It's a pig-headed dvārapāla (a form of Southeast Asian gate guardian statue, sometimes with monstrous features). The head, while obviously tied to the red river hog, is shaped in a way reminiscent of Balinese boar Barong masks.

I would not have known this without having history people with the right cultural background to ask, though, so I'm glad for being able to incidentally note this.

That’s great! Thank you for the insight!
 
Regarding the decorations, I highly doubt we'll get official updates, but if we are to get a ThemeMaker's toolkit, I'd love it if somebody would make "complete" sets for every theme. Basically, have statues and signs that represent every single animal.

My idea is that, let's say I wanna build a zoo in the Australian theme. I would like an Australian style statue for my emus and also for my red foxes...
Do y'all understand what I mean? Have every theme have a sign and statue for every animal in the game for consistency

I think this every time I play the game
 
Guys I'd be glad if you could help this post get to Frontier:

It's about the hippos and rhinos still fighting even though just now the hippo got interspecies enrichment from the RRH.

Let us build consistent safari habitats.
