EVERY DLC In Planet Zoo Tier List

your point about the north american & europe packs being regional preferences was correct. most of the animals in the NA pack just don't do much for me, the ones in the europe pack however - they're animals you'll find in even small, regional zoos across europe. i enjoy the scenery pieces an equal amount

As someone who lives in sweden and was born in Germany I really disagree on the Europe pack, it's great you have animals you see in every zoo and even in my old local park, Name one zoo without fallows, ibex and co, badgers are very common where I live.

Bring out a bird/aviary pack. Birds of prey, parrots of the world show and generally cool walk through aviary. Could be a goer.

Im getting 3 dlc packs for this coming Christmas where i am ive decided african, wetlands, grassland, what do you think

I just got every DLC to not miss out on blueprints from the workshop lol

LetsGameItOut: so I’m just gonna get all of these capybaras, and put them high up, and just trap them in there, for all eternity

I am watching this just to see what sort of herps are in the game

This is so biased mate Americans man

I’m so gonna get the South America pack when I get planet zoo, anteaters in my opion are so cool 😎

i need a mini map on this game

The conversation pack sucks purely because Australia has the highest amount of endangered species in the WORLD, and yet there was none in that pack. Tasmanian devil, bandicoot, eastern quoll, numbat, echidnas are all beautiful species and endangered.

You are so Quiet bro💀💀💀

As a Canadian the North America pack was a must and I use the never and moose in almost every zoo. Also as someone who has done a lot of research projects on animals included in the conservation pack, I love it.

Only animal would use in the Europe pack is lynx but only use it recreating other zoos

The conservation is the pack I want the most ONLY for the horses lol, but that’s because it reminds me of the wild horses in Wyoming. Now that I live down south I miss seeing the wild horses running on the mountain sides

As an Australian its not emoo its emU with a U 😹😹😹

Idk man the european animal selection seems fine enough to me, with the exception of the deer. I see those around domesticated quite often, and you can order some sort of deer dish at pretty much every inn. Apart from that, the only other animal i sometimes encounter is the firesalamander, but those look so outlandish that i'll gladly give them a pass as a zoo exhibit

personally i just really dislike planet zoo having dlc in the first place. things like striped hyenas, jaguars, rhinos, etc shouldve all been base game. It just seems veerrryyy money hungry to me.
Not to mention, i dislike both the european and north american packs because they're just not zoo animals! they are just common wildlife found in those areas that aren't really zoo staples.
Why have a moose habitat when there are moose right outside? its just not even close to being a pick for me.

Christmas decorations this and that, you forgot the real star of the tundra pack - the bench!! I could swear I use it in every zoo I build 😂

Sad to hear the Australian pack doesnt rank well, i do agree though. I dont play Planet Zoo (very much want to tho) but the very 'Aussie' aesthetics of the pack dont have much utility, aswell as the indigenous influences on the designs dont have much value to non australian players. There is also plenty of other interesting Australian animals they could have used.

“Just because one animal is better dosent mean the other is worse”

There was some very handy info here but it was occasionally frustrating for me as a new player wanting to buy one DLC when I get the game when you keep alluding to things like the "fiasco with the binturong" and "we all know what happened with the tapir" since no, I have no idea what you're talking about and the fact that you left it at that with no explanation of what your referencing left me a little lost.

As an outsider looking in, statements like “the tapir well… we all know the situation with that animal” are so funny to me. What about the tapir?What did this creature do?? lol

I’m not in this fandom, I’ve never played this game but omg the koala’s eyes are kinda scaring me

What would you say is the best pack for foliage?

The thing with alot of Australian animals, many are small creatures unlike other countries. If you're having a problem with running bigger packs at least smaller creatures take less space on your pc.

I mean as an Aussie player I'd love to see more of our creatures, but I'm aware many won't ever get made because they're not as big as everything in other countries (but I'd love a proper Australian zoo in a game one day)

Also, koalas aren't that exciting an animal. Ironic yes, but numbats, bilbies, emus & bandicoots would have been nicer to see.

I’m building a zoo right now and I want to add polar bears it’s really the only thing I like about the Artic dlc

As an american, the night pack was a letdown. The wombat and bats are cool. The rest are considered pests were I live.

12 DLCS???? (I haven’t played the game cuz I’m waiting for it to come on console)

To be honest, I finally bought the game because there is otter in it.

very helpful video, thank you!

Europe Pack = Disneyland Assets/What-Americans-Think-Europe-Is Pack

Am I the only one that wishes we got a Red Wolf for the Conservation Pack? Red Wolves deserve some love as well

Don't think I've heard someone say Controversial so many times, o.o.

You seem to really love hating rocks lol

I felt like aquatic, North America, Africa, and Australia were pretty solid packs!

Im British, and unfortunately disagree completely with your assessment of the European pack. I think the roster is a really strong one, and the models look amazing. Still to this day, the lynx and the fallow deer are two of my personal favourite and best looking models in the game. the building pieces are just amazing, and very very accurate to typical mainland European buildings.
Before the European pack came out, the European animal roster was weak. With maybe the reindeer, timber wolf and grey seal representing the whole continent. (Even then they can be found in north America).
The only slightly disappointing thing for me was the decals (which are amazing) formed most of the piece count of the new pieces, rather than anything more substantial like another wall set, or decorative pieces.

As European it was weird seeing the red fox in a zoo. Here they’re very common animals in the city and countryside. Like raccoons in America. We aren’t allowed to put animals found in the wild in our zoos at least not those who are common.
I mean wouldn’t you find it weird to walk into a zoo expecting exotic animals and finding the exact same species of squirrels as in your backyard?

I know this is a zoo game and some of you are judging the animals from the Zoo standpoint, but personally I love creating wild/fantasy landscapes in planet zoo. So I absolutely LOVE the European pack, because I, as a Northern European, can find most of those animals in the wild. I was ecstatic when I saw the animals in that pack because fallow deer are my favourite animals ever. North America is boring to me because I have 0 connection to any of those animals and same goes for the twilight pack. The fox is good though.

Personally I think they should also add a grey fox

Same as why you like the north america pack i love the ones with australian animals just because thats where im from and thats what i see the most. My local zoo only has the sea lion from the north american pack although ive seen beavers, alligators and cougars when i was in america.

i stopped playing planet zoo in 2021 for.. reasons. i haven’t been very updated in what packs have come out since then, and i recently started playing again and have been interested in looking into the packs to see what i should buy next. this video is very helpful for me, and i’ll probably be using a lot of your opinions to make a decision on a pack to buy. you’re also very careful in how you phrase things, specifically when talking about how it’s your opinion, and i appreciate that. (especially because i’m from the uk and the europe pack looks very nostalgic of going to zoos as a child.) thank you.

Me, someone who has never played planet zoo: mmmhhmmm yep that’s right, I love that one

North african pieces are underrated, mix of berber and arabic architecture are S tier

I do wish they made the packs more specific. For example, because the South American pack is called the South American pack, now every square inch of South America is not a candidate for a new pack.

The Australian Pack was soul-crushingly bad to me when I found out it only had four animals, and one of them is technically an introduced species! I’m showing my age here, but when you bought DLCs for Zoo Tycoon 1 or 2 back in the day, you got tens of animals minimum per pack.
