-
Not sure if this is the correct place, but what are the new biomes?
-
Fire coral!!Wahoo!!Another awesome list!
-

It isn't, but there are only the 4 Coastal, Reef, Benthic and Pelagic.
-
I've gone ahead and edited the initial post with that info. Sorry, thought all 4 had previously been released lol.
-
Sorry to be ignorant but what is the Benthic biome:laughing: I don't believe I have ever heard that one before.
-
and I've never heard of Pelagic! :blushing:
-
Pelagic I have heard of. That's just a fancy word for Open Ocean.
-
See? That's why y'all have a dictionary! :whistling : :P :
-
Benthic is deep deep ocean. Guessing for the goblin shark :happy:
-
That will be awesome! I hope there will be a way to create some sort of dark atmosphere in Benthic!
-
What about tundra, they had it in the demo so wouldn't the have it in the game?
-
toundra came with the orignial so why include it in the EP, nrg?
-
See? That's why y'all have a dictionary! :whistling : :P :
You mean its in the dictionary?:laughing::laughing: I'm kidding but not really, I just knew that one term from, I don't know where, but not from the dictionary:laughing: Never thought to look there, I just hate how the school year makes you loose your mind:loony:
I wonder how dark the water for Benthic is? I remember seeing the Hammerhead in some twilight like water, could that have been it?
-
A lot of us in the beta weren't sure what benthic or pelagic was. Benthic is the deepest water, and I know the Great White Shark, the Whale Shark, and the Goblin Shark go into it. Pelagic was the open ocean. I do remember (since I was the one that figured it out :wink: ) that all of the MM2 show animals can go into Pelagic without complaining. I actually created a show tank with 8 individual tanks attached to it. : :P : I wanted a show with all of the show animals, but they have to have a common biome in the show tank or they complain. Try putting an orca in desert. They aren't happy. :whistling I'm guessing the pelagic biome as a common biome will be changed in the full version, though. :crying:
FYI, from my tests during the beta, I the manatee was the most versatile. It was happy in quite a few biomes. I put it in with the hippos and flamingos quite often. I'm sure this might have changed, too. :rolleyes:

Being a Beta tester I can tell you that's Pelagic water.
-
This expansion sounds like it's going to be the best yet, I can't wait till it comes out!:woot:
BTW:What do the Benethic Rocks look like? and is there really any plants in Pallagic considering it's just open ocean?
-
Benthic will probably be the Golbin Shark and Pilot Whale. Maybe even the White Shark.
-

If I recall correctly, the Benthic rocks are dark colored, but there aren't any Pellagic plants or rocks.
-
What are the benthic plants?
And would it be possible for a list of animals that includes there in game biomes?
-
I didn't think they would lift the NDA until the release date, but anyway...I can't wait for ZooT ycoon 2: Marine Mania! I love the coastal biome i can't wait to see the others.
-
As requested, I have updated the animal list in the other thread to include the appropriate biome for each animal.
-
would it also be possible to put the biome next to the plants as well? :original:
-
you just want everything don't you? :laughing: just joking
-
I don't think the benthic biome would have plants - there isn't very much light down there lol! I just cannot wait for this expansion though!!! BTW do the other plants also have variants?
-

No, no plant variants. We'll have to make them.
-
I was sure somebody said the coral in the demo had varients.
-
The fan coral in the demo does have varients, but it was the only one.
-
i thought it has two, anyway so does the anenome it has a blue and a blue green varient.
-
Yes, there are actually noticable anenome and fan coral varients.:woot:
What are the sections for the new biomes (by which I mean like the land biome sections: snow, shallow water, deep water etc. but with water)?
-
The kelp sounds interesting, i wonder if the dolphins will break bits off and play with them like in real life.
-
so, in the trial version, the tussac grass and the ocean plants wave around, u know, like with the current/wind. do u think that the land grasses, like African daisies and other plants along with trees will move with the wind, too? i hope so!
-
How do you think old animals would be in new biomes?
-
that would be so cool!!!!! well just have to wait and see
-
Yes so far most of the plants and all of the trees wave around like there is a breeze.
*amazing* Also I dont think it was mentioned but on the reef rocks the medium and large all have yellow tangs swiiming around and another fish playing in the rocks as well. I cant wait for RND to make the rocks connectable so it'll really look like a reef. And alot of the water folige has varients.:party5:
-
yeah, the biomes are great, i love them all. but i am somewhat suprised.(and maybe even annoyed) by the lack of folliage and rocks for the pelagic biome. there should at least be rocks, everytime i build an exhibit, it just feels empty.(espescially(sp?) with the marlins, they hardly want anything for enrichment to start with.
-
The reason the palegic biome does not have anything is because it is open ocean. Techincally there should not be a floor at all, but of course that is impossible. It would be quite unrealistic to have any plants or rocks because there simply are none in the open ocean. It is too bad though because I agree, the exhibits are bland
-
i see your point with the foliage,(but dont they have floating algae or something? i guess im just desperate for more full exhibits but with rocks, if they can have land in the open ocean,(much less an ocean floor:blink:) they could have rocks. i just like the zt2 rocks. especially the new reef ones.:cool:
