Hayo zookeepers!
Thanks for all your incredible support yesterday as we launched Update 1.2 and the South America Pack! We've had some great feedback, both positive and constructive. With that being said, we've now released Update 1.2.1.
Please read the Update Notes here:
Stability
- Fixed an issue with an incorrect DLC popup and subsequent crash when clicking it from loading saves that have existed from beta/release. Some assets thought not to have been released had been cleaned up and needed further tweaks to work.
- Fixed a crash accessing genealogy screen for animals not in your own park.
- Fixed a crash calculating the shelter map.
- Fixed a rare crash accessing the object browser.
- Fixed a rare background crash updating ride power consumption.
- Fixed a rare crash opening the inspector's report.
We've been getting reports of animals and Staff not moving around in habitats. This is mostly apparent in large habitats. Please load up Planet Zoo and leave it on pause, and allow the navigable area to generate. You'll only need to do this once, the game will remember the navigable area on your next save. The larger the habitats in your zoos, the longer you should leave it. We recommend 30 minutes for any habitat over 50,000m2.
Known Issues
- Animals are getting thirsty twice as fast as normal. Placing a permanent water source (lake or water pipe) will help to alleviate this while we work on a fix.
- Animals aren't going to water sources to drink. We believe this is possibly caused by the navigation issue below and are continuing to investigate.
- Navigation mesh for large zoos and habitats is taking a long time to generate. If your animals and staff inside habitats aren't moving and standing on the spot then the navigation mesh will still be generating; pausing the game and leaving the navigation to generate will fix this, save as soon as it's complete to avoid needing to do this again. This issue affects every zoo.
