Totally agree on greenhouses! Add gardeners and harvestable plants that can be freely placed either outside or in greenhouses. For the effort you should get reduced food costs and increased welfare.
at this point there is only one thing i want a coax mechanic, what i mean is you could select any enrichment item and tell and animal to use it. this would be nice if you wanted to see an animation so you dont have to wait nearly as long
that would be awesome, I feel like allowing the player to interact with the animals (petting, feeding, cleaning them and the habitats) would add a lot of charm to the game
A couple of small ideas I'd love to see implemented in the game are "biome appropriate clothing" for guests and staff. I hate seeing guests in summer clothing complaining when they're in a snow zoo. Another similar thing is I'd love to have customisable staff uniforms. If my zoo has a specific colour scheme, id love to have staff uniforms that complimented that I'd love to have more filter options on sandbox. I'd love to search for specific colour morphs, or albinos or melanistic Finally, I'd love to see seasonal foliage.id love to see leaves changing colour in autumn/fall. Or leaves dropping off in winter.
Great video! I would personally like an expansion to ambassador animals (especially when we get aviary birds) to also potentially include some habitat species (like the binturong, armadillo, caracal, clouded leopard, etc)
Love your ideas! I do have a couple ideas of my own, including all biome ground paints being available in all other biomes. What i mean is that the soils, sands and rocks that make up the ground of a habitat can be set to different biomes. The biomes that they could be set to would be Tundra, Taiga, Temperate, Tropical, Grassland, Desert and Oceanian Desert (also called outback). This would make habitats so much more realistic as soils are often imported to help comfort animals and make the enclosure more realistic. Another feature would be that all animals get what I call the 2022 animal sign. This is a really high detailed sign which all animals from the 2022 DLCs have. I think that all animals should get signs such as these, as a lot of zoos use a constant design theme to represent their animals through picture. I also think it is good because animals from the first 4 DLCs (including deluxe) have signs that don't fit universally or don't have signs at all. Unsurprisingly, DLC animals from 2022 are excluded from this change, however the animals from the Aquatic pack are also excluded, as their signs fit the same theme and look as realistic.
Pathing/ water system must be fixed. It makes everything a pain from facility placement to viewing point creating. Hell, sometimes it can be hard to place a bench. How many times have you had to think of ways to cover up the many gaps of the path system. Harder economic difficulty for us franchise players. I also wouldn’t mind to have a lifetime earnings/ expense tab just so I can see how much total each animal has brought me. Zoo tycoon had this feature. It was also much harder to earn money so it was very fun trying to set up a profitable exhibit and then seeing that those gazelles were really worth your investment. Last thing is guest enrichment items- like photo booths, play grounds, giraffe feeding, etc.
Also, working doors would be a nice thing. Kinda annoying watching my keepers and guest walking through closed doors all the time. Or I just create buildings with perma open doors. Or no doors. Every option here sucks
I liked the ideas, which I'm hoping for a Masai Giraffe, African Forest Elephant, Indian Wolf, Golden Jackal, African Wolf, Leopards(African and Indian), Sumatran Island Tiger, Sloth Bear, Blackbears(Olympic, Kermode, Cinnamon, and Glacier), Greater Rhea, Grevy's Zebra, White-tailed Deer, Tamandua Anteater, Aardwolf, South African Lion, Desert Warthog, Brown Hyaena, Black-backed Jackal, Spectacled Bear, Wild Boar, Coatimundi, etc., as well as the variable outfits for staffs, being strongly similar to those from Zoo Tycoon 2, depending on their jobs(vendors, educators, keepers, caretakers, security officers, veterinarians, and mechanics), depending on the biomes, all especially with tight pants and long-sleeved off-duty shirts with white shirt underneath. As well as the mirror interactions with intelligent animals like on Zoo Tycoon 3, like that of felines, hyaenas, canids, and primates for example.
That's an amazing idea the habitat gates for rotational exhibits! I've been hoping for them myself for a while and it would make it the best game ever if they finally added them!
@OldCountry good video dude ^^ and those are some good ideas . I hope we still get some really cool species still and some features from past games too ^^
Love your vids Leaf, so much fun to think about what could be added to raise the game to even higher heights! Keeper-animal interaction would be super cool for sure. However I personally love the greenhouse idea the best! I've built a few as scenery items but would love to actually have some that keepers (or even guests!) can interact with and that impact on the gameplay. Brilliant! One other thing I'd really love to see is nest-building, for the birds obviously but maybe reptiles too! This could be done as nests as habitat items we could put down that the animals use and that might impace on welfare/breeding etc.
Oh hey, the Beardsley Zoo in Bridgeport CT! Been there, fun little zoo. Been in that greenhouse myself. Not really my thing, but a lot of plants and stuff in there.
Love the feeding time idea, but certainly also the rational gates, I also think it's very unrealistic that keepers are in the enclosure with dangerous animals, they should be able to put them in a different section before putting out food or cleaning.
Im really hoping for a guest dlc; The zoo to me when I was a kid was all about the animals, but then playing in the playground, riding the mini trains, riding in buggies. Even a train that has an invisible track so that it drives along the pathways like we see in bigger zoos
I love the ideas! I totally agree with all of them. Personally I really want to see education about plants added into the game as well. I think this could be a very neat and tiny thing to add some more realism to our zoos.
What are you talking about? Yes it does. I was a Oregon Zoo member for over 10 years, all you have to do is pay for the Savanna Stories bundle. My family took me to do it all of the time growing up

Animal feedings in a Petting zoo DLC is a great idea!
Great video! I would personally like an expansion to ambassador animals (especially when we get aviary birds) to also potentially include some habitat species (like the binturong, armadillo, caracal, clouded leopard, etc)
Could also work with prairie dogs, tortoises, camels, Llamas, penguins etc
And arctic wolves
ive been wanting guests to feed the giraffes since day 1, I didn't feel right without that feature.

I am hoping for some size customizable exhibits that can also be aquariums.

Woah
@@Sweatybaseballs So what do you think?
Nice
They would release a Masai Griaffe with feeing features.

I've been begging for a zoopedia for foliage for Years now. Something like an in game almanac would be great!
The gates is a prio! also automatic doors
Love all these ideas, definitely some really good features to make the game even more realistic
I Would Like A Musth Behaviour in Male Indian And African Elephants Where There Flip Cars Over And Attack Keepers
They should also add a way to fuse the barrier to the very edge of the path
You know i just wanna see gift shops implemented in the game like how restaurants where implemented
That's Great Ideas!!!🦒🤩😉👍
Hi in Barcelona Zoo where i work the people can't feed the giraffe only the keepers i would like to add bird houses or aviaries.
these are good ideas
The Oregon zoo doesn't have giraffe feeding
What are you talking about? Yes it does. I was a Oregon Zoo member for over 10 years, all you have to do is pay for the Savanna Stories bundle. My family took me to do it all of the time growing up
@@fatnakedjimmyneutron I'm talking about just going there and feeding them and It's my local zoo as well so I know about that too
@@fatnakedjimmyneutron there also the zoo outside of Asia with the bornean pygmy elephant and oh ya the giraffe feeding area is closed right now
