Update 1.12.2 is available now!

If it’s technically possible I don’t see why we would have to wait for that.

I'm just basing it off if planet coaster had the terrain choices and then planet zoo releases without it when it is fully capable of doing so, it only leads speculation to why shouldn't we be able to get in an update yet. I really hope we don't have to wait years until there is a choice to choose terrain colors

I think we will get the planet coaster tools when development ends which will hopefully include the terrain choices and the thememaker. It feels like we won't get these options when potential dlc could still be made

I get that reasoning for something like the tool kit and scenario editor because those add something which gives players what they need to create things on their own for free that could be used and sold in dlc. The terrain color choise however wouldn't add something like that to the game. It's a one time thing which would most likely be added as a feature in a free update, not even dlc and doesn't offer players the option to add more content to the game. So I don't think that's the reason why we didn't get it.

We'll see if we ever do, I certainly hope so.

Yeah, I didn't mean like pick only sand textures or something but be able to select which two sand textures we'd like to have. E.g. I like the temp textures for sand and soil way better than the tropical ones but tropical grass looks nicer than temp. So would be cool to be able to use those together instead of fixed biome textures. That wouldn't influence the terrain needs at all since we'd still have all the terrain types they'd merely look different than the default selection.

Yeah, that's also my take on it.

But then again, as I mentioned, there might be a reason why we haven't gotten it yet that we're just not thinking of. Like how it was with billboards, everyone assumed that it was just copy-paste from Planet Coaster, but in a dev interview (I believe the end of the year stream of 2021) a dev mentioned how they had to basically rewrite it from scratch.

Do y'all think that we'll get an "AnimalMaker", similar to the ThemeMaker? I don't see any legitimate reason why not, and it'll be a great way for players to get animals they want into the game in case official support never added them

 

[Pinguin]

yes, that happened to me

Also noticed this. If I remember correctly, the Dingo had similar issue with the pool enrichment when it was released . Hopefully this one will get fixed too.

I hope it get to fixed soon, i think we maybe will see one more patch beforer new DLC.

Is anybody else having this issue with trying to put pre-made herbivore habitats on the ground and it goes right through the ground instead I’ve reported this problem but nothing seems to be getting done if anyone else is having this issue please report it to the frontier issues tracker or if you find mine do whatever you got to do to get it noticed it’s been going on since the twilight pack came out.

I also feel strongly that we should be able to pick our own selection of biome textures. It’s a huge issue for me - probably the biggest in the game - and for this reason I will bring it up at every opportunity.

If people chose the “wrong” biome texture in Franchise for example that is their problem, it shouldn’t prevent sandbox players from having this opportunity.

It still wouldn’t be ideal but another thing I would appreciate it if we could at least switch selections completely. So be able to pick the full temperate biome palate for any map for example.

Just to add that this has now reached the point where it is practically game-breaking for me now.

I simply cannot build the zoos I want to within the very limited range of maps and biomes.

I want to make a realistic Mediterranean city zoo but I can't. Ideally I would use the North America grasslands map but with the temperate biome palate. I want to make a realistic Dutch city zoo, the nearest I can get to a suitable map is the Asian temperate map as it is the least obtrusive horizon but I want to use the normal temperate biome. I also really want to use the tropical soil texture instead of mulch for some indoor and enclosed spaces but alongside the temperate palate.

All I am using now is the Alpine temperate map which means I am limited to only one kind of zoo.

I am so, so fed up with this limitation and the impact it is having on my enjoyment and creativity. Please, please, please can it be addressed even if it just means being able to use the same, single, biome palate for every map.

I totally agree with you that would also be great for sandbox mode too. I’ve got a problem I’ve been dealing with for a long time it’s the relative to the world axis as you can see in the picture every time I try to put the blueprints herbivore habitats or even my own blueprint habitats I try to put it on the ground and instead it goes right through it and I can’t connect the pathway to it either I’ve reported it hopefully they’ll fix this bug.
