Planet Zoo - Update 1.1.0 coming 17 December

Please address the way the keepers fill food. Every time I make a safari exhibit, my animals starve because their food is not replenished in time. The keeper will spend 3 in game months filling them once and then not come back the next month. I have a lot of keepers assigned to this and only one services it at a time.
 
The update sounds good!
I think the animal aging is a decent compromise to the time problem and I think it should work well enough. We'll see. I'll enjoy my 100 year old warthogs i guess lol.
I'm curious about the pack behavior. I hope it works well. Herding behavior needs to be better fleshed out as well.
 
The only reason they're mentioning it's free, is so that people don't have to ask whether they have to pay for it. If they did not mention it, loads of people would start asking whether it's paid or not - the mention of "free" is only for clarity.

This, and in the past with Planet Coaster it was communicated to be free when they also had a DLC pack going on at same release, so to separate those two entites.
 
It is called Arctic Pack. So logically there are no Penguins included. I would really like Penguins too. Maybe they will someday release a Antarctic Pack with Penguins and Leopard Seals or Penguins will be in a Expansion with Marine Animals 🤔
then we definetly need antarctic pack yesterday :)
 
Great! The slider sounds like it could be an amazing fix for the time issue. I really appreciate the devs changing that. Now we just need it changed so the zookeepers fill up all food/water in the exhibits and habitats and i'll be able to play the game again.

I read alot of this, but I did not experience this problem. Well i noticed one time a animal was hungry and i just dropped a zookeeper nearby and the problem was solved.
Now I do wonder why i see so many posts about it.

Over the past few weeks we've investigated tons of save files sent in by players, and have yet to find a park where the zookeepers aren't functioning correctly. If you want to, feel free to send us the save file in which it's occurring and we'll happily take a look.

Before you do, check that:
  • Your Zookeepers have already filled the enrichment feeders
  • Your animals aren't hungry
  • Your Zookeeper Hut is close to the habitat they're taking care of
  • Your Zookeeper Hut is powered
  • Your Staff is rested and trained

These are just some factors that could be contributing to Zookeepers not being able to function at the top of their game.

Let me know if we can help further :)
 
Hi Bo,

Do you perhaps know if the Staffroom Perks will be "fixed" in 1.1.0? Not sure if it was designed for it to be reset to "none" after you close your game, but it's quite a chore to set 10+ staffroom perks every time you open your franchise.

Thanks for everything else again. Loving the free update and the coming DLC.

Hiya!

It's not something we've seen before, to be honest! Do you have a link to the report for me? It won't be in 1.1 but I'm happy to pass along the feedback to the team :)

Thanks <3

I think this happens to everyone and maybe as intended but we don't understand it. We set a perk for a staffroom and then check back later and the perk is unset and back to "none". For sure every time we open the game we have to reset the staffroom perks but I've also noticed it happens during a long play-session. Is there a time limit for how long a staffroom perk lasts?

Fair enough, we will have a chat with the team now <3 I will try and get some more info for you.

Staff perks for facilities can also be set from the staff panel in the Zoo Overview Menu. You can set all perks at once, instead of clicking every facility.
Mine never changed, but I didn't click every facility to set it manually. Only used the menu.

Maybe that helps you out for the moment, untill Frontier supplies a fix.

That is how I set mine as well, never sticks. You are the first to report that yours do.

Well, I did change that some time ago. But a small adjustment to my post. I say it "never changed". Sorry, should have said, "never noticed it changed". But haven't played in that zoo where I set the perks for a while now.

Forgive me if I'm wrong.

My response was more about having an easier method for changing that.
 
I have to set my perks every time I start up the game. I do it from the zoo staff room tab. So far, all my experience is in the scenario modes. I haven't set up a franchise yet.
