I’ve already started a thread about the modifiability of Planet Zoo (it was about altering the animals).
The comprehensible answer (by forum members) was “probably not”, as FDev doesn’t want to undermine their own sales model. I do understand and can happily accept this!
However, as the Planet Zoo forum calmed down a little bit after Gamescom, I’ve started to roam the Planet Coaster forum for building tips, links and all sorts of inspirations. Both games are similar enough in this regard, after all.
I admittedly never had much interest in Planet Coaster so far. Imagine my surprise and excitement, when I discovered the ‘Thememakers Toolkit’! While I have never moded a game before, I believe my 3D skills are sufficient to create some reasonably good-looking statues. (Admittedly, I’ve little experience with low-poly models and LoD issues.)
One of my zoo ideas is inspired by Bali’s beautiful “Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary”. (The monkeys will probably have to be replaced by lemures and accompanied by additional animals, of course.) This place also features some extraordinary pieces of art and I would love to add them into my game. They are quite "special" though and I doubt, Frontier would add anything even close to them in their main game.
Like this one, for example:
Hence the question is:

P.S. I guess, this thread could have been posted in the ‘Wishlist’ forum as well. But I hope, the likeliness is higher than that of a mere “player whish”.

Hence the question is:
- As the toolkit’s technology does obviously already exist for a related game, are there any plans to add it to Planet Zoo as well?
- If so, will the toolkit be usable at launch or will we have to wait until a later update?
- If the later – how long will we have to wait?
- And if – god forbid – its implementation is not planned: why not and please reconsider this decision!
