animal transport vehicle. made a replica animal crate from the game for the truck bed. i used a 1950 chevy 3100 as a reference for the truck itself. just the zookeeper rest area and tranquilizer station remaining.

I have corrected my lions, so now they roar as lions should. I added sounds to my old lions too. Big thanks to VNDragonV2 for reporting that. Here are they: *** files removed 2025.12.25 screenshot of files removed:

Updated render: Added it to the finished render list: Looks like I just have three more items to go before I work on finalizing graphics, configuration, and finally release! - Animal transport vehicle - Decorative staff rest area - Tranquilizer stands

Never thought I would consider updating this patch a bit in 2025... but here we are. Focusing strictly on the paleobotany side with more minor integration into Borsato's lang file and tweaks to the "No Grass, Please" plants, since my plan is to be additive so the update doesn't break existing enclosures. Here is what I have in mind so far: Further degrassing: another dinosaur-friendly tree has been under our nose this entire time - the rare-these-days Chinese Fir. The genus it belongs to, Cunninghamia, is one of the basalmost cypress conifers alive, dating back to the Jurassic (while things like swamp cypresses and redwoods only came to the scene in the Cretaceous). Cunninghamioid conifers were widespread in both the Morisson (Allosaurus, Apatosaurus, Camptosaurus, Stegosaurus) and Hell Creek (T. rex, Triceratops, Ankylosaurus), giving this tree great utility. Vondell's NGP trees: there actually exist two alternate versions of it Vondell's NGP trees. The ones bundled in NGP only show up in the DD filter, while the ones hosted on his Google Drive come in both Habitat and Decorative forms but only show up in the Zoo Tycoon filter. To make things more unified, the update will have Vondell's trees visible under both filters, with the Decorative version included. All of this is done under Vondell's permission, so if there is a change he doesn't like I will revert it. Tankable/swimmable plants: some tropical rainforest plants and the Bald Cypress are prime candidates for tank compatibility. Animal plant compatibility: potentially broader compatibility with more plants so that these paleobotanical adjustments are useful. Nothing concrete yet, so I will have to look through the codes again to refresh my memory. Minor era/period adjustments.

Not done yet but here's some progress on the excavator Frustratingly-low contrast so that's one thing I need to figure out. It's only four views so I might just tweak it post-render.
