I currently have two active projects. One is a zoo that is too small for tigers, the other is an Australian city zoo. The only possible realistic tiger for this zoo is a Sumatran.
What’s your thoughts on another tiger?
- Thread starter paul78
- Start date
Getting one species means another will be left behind in the long run. If I didn't look at it this way, I would always say yes when someone asked ''Would you want a ....''
Yes the question was "Do we want a sumatran tiger" and the answer is for me and other people that said something against it that their are simple, objective reasonings why it is a very low priority animal.
And asking for if any animal is wanted, the instead of x is allways implied, simply because if it wasnt for the fact that slots are limited i would doubt that anybody would be against any animals inclusion kn the game.
I do not want the tiger, because there are 2 tigers allready, one of them being far more common in zoos.
Also big cats as a whole are the best reptesented and imo most pls no more group in the game, making big cat clones even low priority among clones.
Every monkey clone, for example a drill, would be much more worthwile then another big cat (besides maybe a higher quality lion) could ever be.
And that goes imo for most Potential clone pack animals like the black rhino, another flamingo, a harbour seal, etc, because all of them are from less represented groups with either gameplay or visual differences, be it size, color or continent in addition.
I wont be against it in a clone pack, but i defently do not want it for these reason, because we do not need more big cats and especally no tigers
What are you talking about? They gave us premade habitat information boards because obviously not everyone is going to want to make their own custom signs for things. Honestly saying the point of the game is to make custom signs is a bizarre take.
Why would that matter though?
Even if I agreed with you, you'd be choosing between a known species (Sumatran tiger) or an unknown species (which could be a Malayan tiger, since it's entirely hypothetical and doesn't exist). In a thread like this, even if you're forced to choose between two species, the second one could be literally anything. This is just low-level doom-posting.
...reasons which demonstrably don't matter.
Arctic wolf, Malayan tapir, all the reskins already in the base game, so on and so forth.
I atleast can look at them and know what im looking at, which would be my main priority for any clone.
If i cant tell them apart, why have them?
It is possible to acknowledge the game will come to an end one day, without it being doom-posting.
Btw, just to make things clear, i totally get wanting a clone to correct a mistake, thats what the Eurasian Brown Bear is to me, but also that one i wouldnt want outside of a dedicated clone pack.
It would simply be a wasted slot or aniversery animal imo

Huh???? Why? the question is always an either / or question. Why would we assume support is never ending? If there’s one thing we can be 100% certain of, it’s that support will end one day. If support is unending then sure. Add all the animals - add all the subspecies of all of them.. add all domestic breeds, hell, add extinct species and fantasy animals. Why not? The question here isn’t even a Wishlist. The OP asked for opinions on adding Sumatran tigers and some of us have said we don’t want them. I agree with many of the species you’ve been disappointed with (not the fennec fox though!) but my opinion of the Sumatran tiger is that, not only would it be similarly disappointing- it’d be even more disappointing than any of them - the most disappointing animal so far added (with the possible exception of the llama).
The question IS "Would you want a Sumatran tiger instead of ____" because every single animal added is a different animal not added.

@KönigDerKaffeebohnen you can definitely tell a Sumatran apart from a Bengal and Siberian. More so then the animals you mentioned above.
Bengal
Sumatran
I definitely by all means understand the need for a Pallas cat,Caracal, or Serval ect. But I’d still definitely take a Sumatran tiger in game. But I do understand some for reasoning no. To me if extended ongoing support was to happen I’d definitely hope frontier would put them in game. Plus like Markun had mentioned of course my own selfish reasons as well.

If i need to activly look for a differance its not enough.
It got a bit more facial hair and edgier stripes, but does that really make that much of a difference to you guys?
Maybe im ignorant, but when an animal has no signifant difference in gameplay (most importantly group size and size in general), for how its used (for example the two different elephants for asia and africa) or visually (say about the arctic wolf what you want, a white wolf is visually distinct from the gray wolf we got and while i understand not likimg it, theres a clear difference + the fact that its from the underrepresented tundra biome) i dont want it.
Thats what mods are for, not ingame slots.

I dont mean this to be rude, but when the thread is "Do you want x" why is it wrong to state "no because y"?Some of you are so self centered in expressing your own opinions that it is hard to even read this forum sometimes.
Please think of the others and respect every opinion of your fellow forum members. We won’t go anywhere without mutual respect
It literally is the question of the thread and when people directly quote or mention me, shouldnt i explain my reasoning?
Yes it looks a little different, it got a bit of a mane, which is pretty cool, but the point still stands.
Im not here to tell you to not like the animal or to not be happy if its included.
All im stating is why i do not want the tiger

Im not saying that my opinion is worth more then yours, im simply stating a different opinion.
Sumatran tiger OR south china tiger. BUT I think modders can do a tiger pack, like the did for zebras. We are in good hands, especially we have the tiger rigs already.What we really need now is rigs for different types for animals that is still missing.
Here you go.
