Update 1.7 coming to Planet Zoo, 4 October 🗺️

[igorvasconcelos]

No Coyote and Black Bear, please! We are fed up with dogs and bears. North America is bigger than that!

Although they are iconic animals, we already have too many examples of these families in the game.

We need more birds, ungulates, rodents, or other carnivores.

Moose, Cougar, Sea Lion and Beaver are musts for me. Everything else, wolverines, coyotes, prairie dogs, musk ox...etc are all fine, but those first 4 are a must for me

The stream was awesome, i hope this will be a new way to introduce next updates with some anticipation of the Dlc.
However since you guys rejected my Banjo suggestion i decided to draw it myself, i'm sorry Josh but i couldn't resist when i saw the pose of the Beaver.

What time do we think the trailer will drop?

What time do we think the trailer will drop?

My guess is around 10 or 11 PM AEST, but could be any days from today or to the 25th, just so featuring 8 new animals (animal pack!) in the new DLC.

Looks like I'm going to be up late...

Love this update! Thank you, Frontier.
Can't wait to use the new terrain map feature, and the pathing changes will be used heavily in my zoos.

One question I have: will we get one-way paths sometime in the future?
I have several areas where this could benefit my zoos, such as entrance/exit (many guests ignore the zoo entrance gate), reptile house, walk-through exhibits, jungle trails etc.

Can we share heightmaps here in the forum? I realy want to see, how the heightmaps from Sunset Valley, Dragon Valley or Al Sim Hara will look in PZ.

Absolutely, you're more than welcome to. I would love to see them myself

Moose, Polarfox, Beaver

I understand you count the beaver, but this is soecifically the american beaver. It counts as a european animal as much as the bison counts for the base game.

I wouldnt count the bison though.
Anybody could differtiate the two when looking at two pictures, i could even do it with one, but the beavers literally look identical. The canadian is a bit bigger on average as far as i know, but thats it.

I think they could add the European Beaver without any Problems as a additional Animal in a Europe Pack, that doesn't take away another Animals Spot. If I remember correctly I've read once that it's only really possible with a DNA Test to find out if a Beaver is European or American. They would basically just need to change the Name, Continent Tag and Zoopedia Page

This update is so good! Thank you guys for the amazing work as always! That mapping update is one of my favourites as I always struggled with my mediocre uninteresting pancake zoos! Thank you

 

[Remi-aah]

The update looks lovely, especially the path barriers. I hope a next update will contain animal-themed entertainers as a new staff type.

Looking great Planet Zoo!

 

[ElectricMonk]

In all the hype for the DLC release I almost forgot about how good the free update is looking - path barriers, talk seating areas and reduced depth requirements, especially, promise to be game-changers!

I'm actually more pumped for this update than I am for the DLC.

In saying that I don't think I'll be especially excited for a DLC again until it's birds or Australia 2.
