We have the scenery and animal pack structures. Does anyone have any ideas for a third one?
Third DLC Format Ideas
- Thread starter FlameWizard492
- Start date
I think a combined version could also work.
Something like 6 animals and ~100 pieces.
Would be a nice options for a latin america pack
While more unlikely a bigger expansion type DLC could also be cool. But aviaries and aquariums are pretty much the only option i see suitable for this.
And something for the end of lifetime could be mini bundles with 1-2 animals and a handfull of decoration pieces for a couple euros.
Turkey+ thanksgiving decor
Rabbit+ easter stuff
Monkey+ new style of climbing branches
These were the first ideas that come to my mind, there are obvious many possibiliets

Yup, that's what I was thinking too, cut the scenery content in half and either do 5 habitat animals and one exhibit animal or just 5 habitat animals would also be okay (maybe add in slightly more scenery)
same thoughts here
I... don't see the point in that when it's literally just adding one extra animal to an already existing model. It's better than a regular theme pack, for sure. Just... why would Frontier do that exactly?
I think one of two options could work:
- Mini Packs, 1-3 animals and that’s about it. Good for fleshing out similar animal groups. Like a pack of 3 ducks or 3 monkeys for instance.
- Expansions. I think this is unlikely, but with how much birds are requested I really think it would be the best possible option.
There should definitely be an expansion DLC format. If they take this route with aviaries, then ideally it would have around 30 animals plus the building pieces required to create functional aviaries. It would have to be on the expensive side, maybe $35 USD, but for aviaries, I think we'd all be willing to pay more if it means we get more content.
I was imagining 16 slots, but they could double up on animals. Like a Bald Eagle, Harpy Eagle, and Golden Eagle can all have the same slot.
Let's say if there'll be an idea of a DLC pack featuring four Habitat animals like each scenery pack but with no sceneries and items, how long will that take to complete designing before releasing?
Likely the same time, the amount of work that goes into the habitat animals will not suddenly be faster if we lose one exhibit animal and scenery pieces. It can be assumed there are 2 different teams for scenery items and animal development.
Oh my really like the mini pack idea. Especially if they focused on certain types of animals. They could release one every other month to always keep new content fairly current.
The only third dlc format I can see other than a full on expansion pack would be individual animals sold for about 30% of the pack price…
