Many smaller pieces focus on organic shapes found in nature, so create a more natural looking park. Even the new wallset is made of 3D-printed concrete, a more sustainable building material than traditional methods.

Q: How have you expanded on the conservation themes already present in Planet Zoo?Ī: Alongside some of the most endangered species we’ve brought to the game, including the Scimitar-Horned Oryx which is technically extinct in the wild, the scenery of Planet Zoo: Conservation Pack heavily focuses on a number of aspects of sustainability. For those who don’t want to build their own frames, we are also providing three blueprinted frames that can be placed in one go. Each piece can be used standalone, or the whole set can be utilized to create complex multilevel climbing frames, giving players a chance to get creative. These are available after researching the Siamang via vet research.

Q: Are there any features that players should pay special attention to in the new expansion? Are there any pitfalls they should be mindful of?Ī: With Planet Zoo: Conservation Pack, we have added a new modular climbing frame set, which allow Siamangs to exhibit their characteristic brachiating behaviors. Both of these are already important aspects of Planet Zoo’s gameplay, so it felt like a natural step to explore this with a dedicated pack. Our aim with the Conservation Pack is to highlight the important role real world zoos play in maintaining and saving the planet’s biodiversity through their breeding and reintroduction programs, as well as educating their guests. Q: Planet Zoo has always included elements of conservationism-what inspired making an expansion pack entirely about that?Ī: Most of our DLC packs to date have focused on specific regions or habitat types, for example the recent Wetlands Animal Pack, which focused on the diverse wetland biomes around the world. We spoke with Kilian Schmitt, Game Designer for Planet Zoo, about the new features fans can look forward to, exciting new animals, and more! Are you ready to build a zoo… and save the planet? With Planet Zoo‘s new Conservation Pack now available for download, animal-loving gamers can bring conservationism home with them.
