✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 128 endorsements and over 5k downloads.
- Brings a familiar North American bird to your zoo, perfect for native habitat builds.
- Simple cosmetic addition that doesn't overhaul gameplay, so it's low-risk.
⚠️ Cons
- No details on animations, behaviors, or habitat needs—might be a reskin or basic model.
- Potential compatibility issues with other animal mods that alter species lists.
- Limited to one species, so if you want a pack, this is just a single addition.
For Planet Zoo players who want to add a recognizable North American bird to their exhibits without major gameplay changes. If you're building a realistic North American section, this is a nice touch. Skip if you're looking for new mechanics or a full animal pack.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the mod file in the game's mod folder (usually Documents/Planet Zoo/Mods) and ensure it's enabled in the mod manager.
- Check that your game version matches the mod's compatibility (1.10) to avoid crashes.
- Test the heron in a sandbox zoo first to see if it fits your build before adding to a career zoo.
