Planet Zoo - 1.7.1 Update Notes
General Bug Fixes and Improvements
- Animals
- We have adjusted the American Alligator's social group size based on feedback. Initial group sizes had been chosen based on the aggression potential shown by the species and some zoos only keeping solitary animals
- New group sizes are as follows:
- Mixed: 1 male, 5 females
- Male bachelor groups: 6 males
- Female bachelor groups: 6 females
- As part of this change, we have reduced the additional land, water and deep water space requirements for the American Alligator, so that bigger group sizes do not balloon the overall space requirements
- New group sizes are as follows:
- Fixed a typo in the US-English version of the American Alligator's Zoopedia referring to the Saltwater Crocodile instead
- Fixed a typo in the US-English version of the North American Beaver's Zoopedia not properly describing its barrier requirements
- Fixed the fur fading out too quickly on the Moose
- Beaver Dam female animation fixed where previously mud particles were floating incorrectly
- We have adjusted the American Alligator's social group size based on feedback. Initial group sizes had been chosen based on the aggression potential shown by the species and some zoos only keeping solitary animals
