So far here is the complete list: From left to right: pan de muertos (mexican sweet bread for day of the dead), pozole (hominy soup with beef stew chunks/ox tail, cabbage, ground peppers and other spices), authentic tacos Then from today: <--- churros (fried dough with cinnamon and sugar, lots of countries have their own version) <---- conchas (conchas translate to "shells". these are soft fluffy dough base with shell-shaped streusel-like icing)

churros!

An old western themed pack would be so sick. Great idea! I have an endless wishlist but I think I need to add that near the top. Personally I think a whole re-imagined atlantean theme would be so much fun.

I'll do the last changes to the lodges to upload them as well!

What you were referring to actually has a name - Bergmann's rule. It applies to other familiar land mammals like bears and moose too. @Hawkkeye666 My two cents is that while the Eurasian beaver is slightly heavier on average, the maximum recorded size for American beaver is higher, so it could go either way. A more interesting detail is that, while all known coat colours are shared between the two species, the occurrence % for pale/beige coat is much higher in Eurasian beavers (66%). About 50% of American beavers have pale brown fur, but not beige. So maybeee the better change is to swap the two species.

Re-rendered them all with several visual fixes, and added tacos.

Yes. But as for the Old Western items, there is not much there yet. I mean, I had a shot at it long time ago, with way worse graphics. But I'm thinking items like: - A mine / some mining equipment. Probably mostly as scenary. - You can't miss a saloon - Perhaps some sort of arcade - A jail or bank building (not sure if they'd have a real use though, perhaps just some pictures or as some form of animal house) - Some decorative buildings (or perhaps even facades to hide other items from guests), statues, arches -- and also native American ones! - Would go great with horses, mustangs, perhaps other animals as well

They look absolutely great! The Mexican themed objects were my favorite ones :) ( Must say I haven't actively played anymore, but seeing talented people like yourself and Vondell coming up with content that really resembles the original Zoo Tycoon style; I can't help but wonder what an Old Western themed set might look like! )

Got them.

It's finally here: The chinese pack is complete! Now you can download the full version of 五德神兽苑 Pinyin: Wǔ Dé Shénshòu Yuàn Translation: Five Virtues Heavenly Realm Menagerie A.K.A. Chinese Charms Content list: => Loong. Highland, tankable. Compatible with Taz's Baiji, Hawkkeye's Koi & Hawkkeye's Chinese giant salamander. => Qilin. Highland. => Fenghuang.

Water & land placeable. Uses FancyShelter strings in LANG--ZTCDD language file! => Qinling brown panda. Highland. Compatible with in-game giant panda. => Wuxing banners. One for each wuxing elements: ==> Water, 水. ==> Fire, 火. ==> Wood, 木. ==> Earth, 土. ==> Metal, 金. - Screenshot displays YinYang path designed by Genkicoll, available here: - Screenshot displays the main sprite for sleeping animals, these are not actual items in game. To me, each of these mythical beasts included represent one of the confucian virutes. Loong, wisdom (智, zhì); Qilin, benevolence (仁, rén); Fenghuang, propriety (禮, lǐ); Nian, righteousness (義, yì); Pixiu, trustworthiness (信, xìn). Also, each of them represent an element from Wuxing. Long, water (水, shuǐ); Qiin, fire (火, huǒ); Fenghuang, wood (木, mù); Nian, earth (土, tǔ); Pixiu, metal (金, jīn). You can notice this with their animations, which drives me to the next point: This all started in a thread about transfiguration animals like in-game mermaid, so this is my attempt to do so. Some of you were following the constant updates of this, so I'll keep the notes I wrote each time. Btw, I tried to fix the audio, unsuccessfully. Also, I discovered some time ago that there are BROWN pandas! They're cute as hell! I made a simple recolor of in game panda and changed their configuration in order to display animations not used by the in game panda. Hope you like it! No more updates on this, so I'll upload this file in both ZooTek and ZooBerry unless some fix needs to be done. Last Changelog: - Added the pixiu. - Added the brown panda. - Added the scenery items. - Animals configured to like new items into their exhibits. - Fixed nian swimming animation. File available here until uploaded to ZooBerry & ZooTek: Files deleted October 27th 2025 Get the newest version here! It's been a fun trip! See you on next works! 🐉🦄🦚🦁🐯🐼
