    i wish they'd add breeds from around the world, instead of only uk breeds.

    Frontier just addressed 'is this the last pack?' head on and confirmed in their livestream that the team are "working on another animal pack" to release later this year, so we're back to status being 'at least one more to come'. :)

    While I agree, I have a feeling that the breeds chosen were, with the exception of the Highland Cattle maybe, just chosen for actually being quite generic versions of the animals in question. Yes, it's an Alpine, a Tamworth, a Hill Radnor, but actually what that means in practice is a very generic looking goat, pig, and sheep (and chicken and donkey) - one that is a specific breed, but also stands for many. Which ought to make them more flexible than a Cameroon Sheep or Kune Kune, much as I'd have loved to see those.

    The one change I would have made is choosing African Pygmy Goat, by far the most common goat breed in zoos (and one of the most common zoo animals of all time).

    hey guys, breaking news!! another animal pack was officially confirmed in their livestream, so this means that the barnyard animal pack is not the last pack. So, what can we expect this time, like a Latin America Animal Pack? or an Aviary Expansion Pack?

    i think generic animals are neat, but i honestly would prefer more well-known domestic breeds.

    The engine of Planet Zoo is backward that causing stuck when you have more than 20 habitats, the pathing system is also notoriously ****** that often demotivates new players. There is no innovative attraction after Twilight pack, the Frontier definitively knows the players' desire for flying birds and aquarium, but the innate defects of the system may not run the aviary and aquarium well. If we want to bring out more potentials from this game, a new developed system is required, which probably needs a new game, PZ2. I would say I am OK that the Frontier ends the support this year, as long as they put the effort on the PZ2 with the advanced system.
    I don't think the Frontier will offer innovative things like Aviary at the end of support, probably just animal pack. I guess it might be a Safari pack that contains species from Africa, South America and South Asia. The Frontier is facing financial hardship now and has laid off some staff since last year, they probably don't have enough resources to work on new models, most species offered by the last packs are more likely easy clones (like antelopes, Nile Crocodiles, Sulcata Tortoise and some felines)

    i'd say we shouldn't lose hope, we know most of the players want aviaries and aquariums, but we must be positive and have faith. who knows we can actually do it.

    A bit late to the game, pun intended, and I’ve been loving it on the PS5 for the most part! The only frustration I’ve had is franchise mode, I can’t for the life of me do any of the community challenges due to the market or mode just crashing. Nonetheless, I’ve been trying to make some exhibits from my home zoos in sandbox mode :)

    Right now my biggest endeavor is trying to make my version of what I think Elephant Valley at the SDZ Safari Park will look like when complete. I am trying to be more creative but I feel clumsy at times and forget that props or foliage can really make the zoos really pop.
