Paths
I have noticed that all types of paths such as guest, queue and staff paths does not have any color options available. I would like developers to make it possible to choose any custom color variant for all types of paths so that players playing Planet Zoo can choose their preferred color when creating guest, queue and staff paths. That really annoys and bothers me because I am a very creative person who likes to add a finishing touch to make all of my zoos personalized with color. I like to make my zoos beautiful and appealing to guests by using combinations of color for uniqueness and beauty. Paths require color options for all path types.
In addition to appearance options for paths, I would like to suggest a new type of guest path. That is a tarmac path. A black tarmac path for representing new tarmac laid guest path and a white tarmac guest path to represent old laid tarmac. Both types of tarmac paths would also require color appearance options to that players can change the colors to whatever color when desired to do so. Color options for paths must be available in all game modes such as Career, Franchise, Challenge and Sandbox.
When I was a kid back in 2000, I went to two zoos in the United Kingdom. The first zoo I went to was London Zoo and shortly after, I went to Bristol Zoo. Both zoos were covered in tarmac paths, so it does make sense to add tarmac paths to the list of guest paths in Planet Zoo.
Construction props
In addition to paths, I have also noticed that most of the construction props used for the construction of building shells in the "Construction tab" does not have any color options available. For example, I wanted to hide and camouflage a staff facility building with concrete walls and roofing with a green color. However, I was annoyed by the fact the many building props used for construction were missing those crucial color options.
The best thing to do is for developers to add all color options to become possible for all building props in the "Construction tab" so that when users wants to create a new building from scratch or make a blueprint shell, all appearance options can be available for use when the player want to change the default colors of any material type for any construction piece. That includes roofs and floors, plus walls, door and windows for any architecture piece that the player wants to use to make his own building or shell blueprint.
Terrain
Terrain terraforming and sculpting is also my favourable desired component as my tool of choice when using sandbox mode. I would like developers to add color options for all terrain types such as being able to make red grass or black soil. Each and all terrain types requires their own individual color options so that players can make their zoos look splendid with a touch of custom color rather than having to always use the boring default colors that are always the same. The goal of Sandbox mode in Planet Zoo is to bring unlimited creativity by being able to colorize any terrain type to any color you want. That would allow users to add lots of pizzazz to their zoos with a finishing touch of color variation to the landscape of their zoos. You could make snow black, grass yellow, soil blue and so on. If these color options are added and implemented for terrain, then players would be able to make the very best and more beautiful zoos the world has ever seen.
In addition to the terrain color options, it would be a fantastic idea to add many other terrain types such as volcanic ash terrain, ice terrain, like ice in an ice rink, and other forms of terrain like the red terrain of Australia and the super vivid orange sand from the deep south sandy desert of Tamil Nadu, India. By implementing other terrain types to the pre-existing list of terrain types, players would be able to favour new species of animals with their preferred terrain types according to biome and country as well as making your zoos even more beautiful and unique than ever before. Different biome could use many more terrain types for new types of animals that depends on the terrain environment from their original country.
As an example to building a zoo in a volcanic environment, having a new type of terrain called volcanic ash would make the zoo's biome and environment suitable for the animals you plan to adopt and breed in your zoo which sits on a dormant volcano. As for ice, ice terrain would behave differently to snow. Ice would not melt as quickly as snow and when ice terrain melts, it could serve animals with drinking fresh water supply when they previously ran out of drinking or swimming water. Ice terrain or filled pool of frozen water could be used by animals, which lives and depends on very cold climates such as timber wolves, snow leopards and polar bears, so that they get their fun and play enrichment boosted by simply sliding on the ice like doing ice skating. I am sure that animals who relies on the extreme cold, especially polar bears would find ice skating useful when needing to run and slide to have fun skating on the ice. These are types of terrain that developers would require adding at some point in the near future, as well as all my requested color options from the paragraphs above.
I am a huge fan of Planet Zoo, so I am volunteering to make it much better for everybody to enjoy its full playing potential.
