We always wanted to make a fully working ecosystem, that’s why this update is very important to us. We are introducing wildlife AI to two "new" animals, Sursa and Brown Striped Fluffgig. They inhabit Canyon and Alltree islands.
Sursas are bear-like animals with hard beaks. If you come close to them, they will try to scare you off with roaring. But if you disturb them more, they will protect themselves.
Fluffgigs are the opposite of that, they are literally fur balls :D They developed interesting defense mechanisms. We don’t want to spoil all of them, so I’ll tell just one – if they spot Sursas nearby, they will keep close to them and use them as a kind of bodyguard and shield, giving them time to "run" away.
These animals are also tied to our future updates linked with new production buildings and settler jobs :) We’ve also made user experience upgrades to the RPG menus and technology tab!
