What the game needs to be complete...

[synthetase]

1. I really like DarthQuell's idea of an animalmaker toolkit so much that I would pay Frontier at least double the price of a normal DLC. That would mean the devs would focus more on genetically unique creatures we don't allready have relatives of. In the meantime, I could figure out how to make bat-eared fox, Masai Giraffe, Grevy's Zebra etc... without the community complaining about more clones. It would be a great compromise!
2. Way more plant diversity, even if that is more flexicolor flowers or leaves.
3. Challenge zoos being interconnected like franchise mode. I like transferring animals between zoos...
4. At least a few more biome skirts especially a coastal one. Ideally you could have one of those for each biome. Idk why but I like the idea of a zoo on the coast with the ocean in view... A city one too because that's what the community really wants.
5. Different personality in individual animals. Even if it is just a descriptor like "Latalo is playful," or "Artemis enjoys eating." Idk how it work in the Game's genetics but it would be cool?
6. A way to take care of animals similar to Zoo Tycoon 2 even if it is just ordering a zookeeper to do a specific task. I would feel more connected to the zoo.
7. More customization of facilities such as the layout of zookeeper hut.
Disclaimer: I really enjoy this game and am grateful to Frontier for what they have given us already!

I talk about this in an upcoming video and as nice as it would be to have mod tools specifically for animals, Nexus rewards mod creators insanely well for efforts into mods by download points. Steam unfortunately doesn't do this. However, I'd be very happy if we do get TMTK so that we can just bring all of the props over for everyone to use.

Updating my list to be more (or less) realistic.
1. I really like DarthQuell's idea of an animalmaker toolkit
1. More variations in animal shape.
2. Way more plant diversity.
3. Challenge zoos being interconnected like franchise mode.
4. At least a few more biome skirts for each biome.
5. Different personality in individual animals. (We'll see if any hint of this is in the new update?)
6. A way to take care of animals similar to Zoo Tycoon 2*
7. More customization of facilities.
Disclaimer: As I said before, I appreciate all the effort that goes into this game!

Personal priority: 2>1>5>4>3=6=7
2 I'd love as it would prevent even small biomes from looking the same. The possibilities with that are endless.
1 would be cool for both those whom are against clones and those of us who don't mind them. Although, I have no idea if it is possible or not. If it is it would be a way to represent somewhat unique animals that are supposedly already in game. A Timber Wolf with larger ears could pass for a traditional Lobo; Rounder ears for a Cold-weather wolf; overall elegant build for an Indian Wolf etc...
4 I hope to build a zoo overlooking the ocean outside of a career map.

Personally against the idea of an animal makers tool kit, just because Nexus is able to provide a secondary monetary income for me and my fellow modders via DP, but am on board for a Thememaker’s Toolkit a la Planet Coaster. The tools we’ve developed to make animals ourselves are robust as they are, and think we just need a bit more support for sound modding eventually.

The species limit being fixed would be nice too lol.

I just need more normal zoo stuff, such as better realistic rides, playgrounds, more things for guests to do really.

Give them a purpose other than walking, sh*tting, and looking at animals. I want them to actively seek out benches in sandbox mode too, I’ve been noticing that a lot more recently where nobody sits in my benches.

The advanced move tool we just got seems like it’s going to be great, but I’d love for that to go a step further. I’d love to have that but for the rotational axis, allowing us to rotate the “ball” to get a bit more organic rotations of rocks and the like.

Honestly I’m happy with the direction of the game other than that. Would love to see support keeping up, more useful scenery, more fun scenery, more animals in general.

Really? Mine already do that

Haha guess my guests are just built different.

I’ll pitch another idea from MandaPanda on Bronation: allow the Bulldozer tool to be delete-by-selected-tag. It’ll help with removing specific items like certain themes or mod-specific items. Would be awesome for the community

2, 5 and 6 i'd like a lot.

I want to see a shake up to challenge mode a la zt2 where you get actual challenges and tasks to complete

Can you imagine having a challenge where you have to keep 2000 guests above 80% happiness for 6 months

Or I would love to see grants be added in like the old " take a photo of a flamingo for frontier Zoo magazine for $1500
