Greeting, fellow zookeepers!

We’re feeding the animals, cleaning up the spaces, and spraying those pesky bugs to ensure the smoothest gameplay!

Bug Fixes

    Gameplay

    • Special enclosures should now enforce water and rock requirements when trying to move animals into them.
    • Federal Grants should now correctly grant the Conservation Bonus if the user meets the reputation requirement.
    • Easy AI should now properly reflect its intended difficulty.

    UI

    • Fixed an issue in the Tight Schedule challenge where players couldn't use X-tokens to take a different action if their Association action was on 5 and they had no workers.
    • Fixed an issue where restarting a Challenge wouldn't properly load Challenge conditions.
    • Your avatar and color selections will now appear in the game for Challenges.
    • Miscellaneous improvements to the tutorial.

    Localization

    • Miscellaneous localization corrections.
