Here is a short devlog about upcoming achievements and new starting settings.
Achievements
Achievements are coming in the next patch. They will be mostly simple milestones your Zoo reaches, such as X amount of animals, or more special and tied to different mechanics. They are not meant to be mandatory to unlock things are small thing to point out what has happened.
Achievements are zoo specific and will be supporting Steam achievements. Some achievements can be disabled, depending on the play mode you play on. All achievements are unlockable on “normal play” so when using challenges, research and non “free-form” gold start.

Map settings
To make the map feel more alive than just a blank canvas, a new map options will be added. With these you can select what kind of map you will start on. Will it be a empty desert with some rocks or a lush jungle? The map is then generated randomly filling it with the desired props.
These new map settings come with ready made preset for each environment but you can tune it to your taste. Maybe you want full desert or empty jungle.

Thats all, feel free to leave a comment for any suggestion or feedback!
