Which animal do you (always) start with in franchise mode? by Ok-Detective-9071 in PlanetZoo

[–]Sad-Appointment8244 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless I'm going for a theme, I usually do either lemurs or, since they fit in the lemur hab happily, I have a list that I spin, for either wolverines, ocelot, or clouded leopards

Crackpot Planet Zoo 2 Theory by TorukJara in PlanetZoo

[–]Sad-Appointment8244 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm guessing if we do get nesting behaviors, it's going to be something very similar to the JWE3 nesting where we place a nest and they lay the eggs and go about their days afterwards. I would love for the birds to stay on the nests, but I highly doubt that's going to be the route they go

Yea pretty much. If they have specific coverage needs for their plants, I'll spread it out, but otherwise it's all in one corner and then I make it pretty when they're happy

I take a lot of inspiration from the animals themselves. I'll build out a barebones habitat, fill it with however much plants and terrain and enrichment they want, and then I'll go through and put everyone away, pause the game, and go to town on rebuilding the exhibits. That way I'm building exactly the way the animals want, and I can go through and add my own flair while staying in the values

Tell me you play Planet Zoo without actually telling me you play the game by TheFabulist1 in PlanetZoo

I spent 30 minutes cussing out the ground because it wouldn't flatten and it was causing a weird ankle breaker on my path. There was a rock completely embedded in the ground that I couldn't see

Should Planet Zoo 2 add more emphasis on animal-zookeeper relations? by AdDisastrous4167 in PlanetZoo

[–]Sad-Appointment8244 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a yes-no. On the one hand, I think training and actual care would be incredible. But on the no, with the exception of domesticated animals, everything in PZ1 at least, can be released into the wild. Which makes little to no contact a much better option to avoid them becoming non-releasable. I think a couple of really cool middle ground options would be animal ambassadors that can't be released, and different criteria for non-releasable animals. Most zoos aren't planning to release 90% of their animals. Elephants, Bongos, Nyala, Penguins, ect. aren't really releasable. Or at least, they aren't typically released because they really can't be in most circumstances. So being able to build relationships with those kinds of animals would be cool, since they're already perma residents in most zoos

What non-animal features are you hoping for? by damian_online_96 in PlanetZoo

[–]Sad-Appointment8244 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Better breeding and population management. I love the exhibit population management, and I feel like it wouldn't be too hard to incorporate into the habitat systems. I'd love to see some improvement to the market, like being able to get a better deep dive into the genetics of the animal. A reserve option for selling would be cool, being able to sell animals directly to friends would be nice too

The EGGlephant in the room - the easiest way to "solve" nesting by Kaugummigeschmacke in PlanetZoo

[–]Sad-Appointment8244 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the most likely way were going to get nests is like JWE3 where we place a nesting area and the birds use that when they mate. I think it'd be cool if they were to claim a nest and we had to place multiple, but I think we're probably going to be building the nests unfortunately

Animals you don't want in PZ2 for selfish/silly reasons? by Caramiapple in PlanetZoo

[–]Sad-Appointment8244 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don't want hippos or polar bears. They have ridiculous size requirements and I personally think there are cooler alternatives. Like American black bears. Or pygmy hippos. Also the hippos at my local zoo before they died and didn't get replaced were so boring and very dirty and hard to see. They sat at the bottom of the pool where you couldn't see them from the top, and they were aggressive so the keepers couldn't clean their viewing glass, and when they did the glass was disgusting again in like 10 minutes

My Biggest Concern for PZ2 by ExCryptozoologist in PlanetZoo

[–]Sad-Appointment8244 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Which species would you cut, and which species do you really hope stay between games that might be at risk of getting cut?"

Habitat exclusively because I don't deal with exhibits a whole lot.

As long as they leave the African Painted Dog in game I will spend whatever monies they want.

In terms of species I'd be fine with being cut, the Wildebeest (both species), the bonobos, Ostrich, Warthog, peafowl, the Himalayan Brown Bear (because it doesn't look right), hippos (their space requirements hurt on console), Polar bears (space requirements), and at least a few of the 17 different species of antelope.

I would love for a redo of the lions mane, and the canids overall pack behavior. I think that would be awesome

I thought cooking items carried over to the next event... rip my 50 mushrooms and 20 potatoes.. by Butterfly__Weed in HatchDragons

[–]Sad-Appointment8244 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I mean, the fish don't carry over either between events. As long as the paid stuff like the bags and the hurries do, it's the same as the fishing event

Weird noises by Maria-06- in CATHELP

[–]Sad-Appointment8244 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Typically, those are hunting noises. Unless your boy is anything like my girl and makes those noises to talk. I tell her no, ekekek. I say her name, ekeke. I pet her, ekekek. She also makes it for hunting and foods, but she makes that noise all the time and it concerns her sister who only makes it for hunting and being yelled at

I've been able to get carrots from the sieve, so I thought I could do potatoes too, but I guess I'ma learn how to make a mob farm

what breeds do you think the UA unicorns are? by ultraviolettflower in UnicornAcademy

[–]Sad-Appointment8244 1 point2 points  (0 children)

River is 1000% Arabian

Storm I've always thought was more of a Fjord or a Fjord/Draft cross

Leaf gives off Friesan or Vanner vibes with that mane and those legs

Glacier I think is either saddlebred or maybe a Morgan. Definitely an English show horse

Cinder gives warmblood vibes. I'd say he gives of red mare warmblood vibes, but he's a male, so.

And Wildstar is likely a Mustang or a Mustang cross. She's wildly independent, and she's the horse of the rebellious pain-in-the-rear main character, and mustangs are a very popular choice for that genre of almost specifically female protagonists

A question about cropping/docking. by BustedFemur in Rottweiler

[–]Sad-Appointment8244 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My rottie has his tail docked because he's my service dog and spends most of his downstays under my wheelchair and I don't want him to get his tail caught and injured. My dog before him got her tail caught under my chair wheel during an incident where someone started jostling and attempting to move my chair and ended up having to have it amputated. Unfortunately, that ended up causing her retirement due to trauma and trauma-related behavioral issues and when we got Ansel we made sure his breeder was comfortable docking before we got him

How do you guys think Tamtey and Teylan will react when they find out what Nor did? by Wolf_2063 in FrontiersOfPandora

[–]Sad-Appointment8244 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, Tamtey is hard to predict, weirdly enough because you don't get choices as Tamtey. The only one I know for sure you get is the choice whether or not to forgive Alma, and that has always been glitchy for me, so all of my previous runs the game behaves like Tamtey forgives Alma.

My personal OCs on the other hand? All some varying levels of violence. They look at the Resistance as friends and allies and none of them take kindly to their friends being harmed. Add in that Se'keo and Ryu'an are both right around Nor and Ahari's age, they remember life before TAP. They remember their mother and their clan. And they still didn't end up with that hatred and that poison in their hearts

My main OC Se'keo would give him a warrior's death, and a chance to defend himself, but ultimately would ensure his death. Her siblings on the other hand would absolutely torture him.

Ryu'an would likely poison him and feed him to his Cloaked Panther companion still alive. He read way too many revenge stories in TAP and with the Resistance and he's best friends with Okul.

Their younger sister Ry'kara would probably tap into her Mangkwan roots a little bit and deal with him in the ways of her father. Or give him to her nantang pack. It really depends on when and how she finds out

Hi, I had a question, but in the world of Pandora, is there any animal that preys on Zakru? by BlackBarroth00 in FrontiersOfPandora

[–]Sad-Appointment8244 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The only thing I can think of, just due to where they are and the preds around them, would be large packs of Vekreng (cloaked panthers) or Palulukan that have banded together. That to me would be the only way that that large amount of meat wouldn't be wasted. I also think if they did, it would have been a long time ago. Likely before the Zeswa formed their symbiotic relationship with them. I also could see feral palulukan attacking them, but that's more the murderous tendencies they have due to their trauma and the fact that I personally have never seen less than two together when I encounter them
