Great update guys, thanks for the much requested barriers. And thanks for an awesome Animal pack.


But is there any info if the food spoiling option bug is fixed in this update where if you have food spoiling turned off that animals no longer get any food and they starve to death because there is some food in the habitat that they wont eat and since it wont spoil it doesnt get cleaned and therefore they dont get fed any food and since they dont eat that food in that spot they just starve.

Also if you have the defecating turned off then habitats dont get cleaned even if there is spoiled food in there it just lays there rotting away.

Really hope these bugs got fixed

Can't wait to see it :love: I'm so excited! Only 5+ hours to wait! 😅 yey
Thank you all for the fantastic update (birch branches?:unsure:) and the awesome DLC!

Can somebody tell my damn smartphone, that it has stupid ears and shouldn't send me an email "that something on my steam wishlist is now available" ??

For me its definitely the path barriers. Just saw the first tutorials on youtube. It helps to make your zoo so much cleaner and building gets easier when you dont need to worry about guests running through your scenery/buildings anymore.

When i saw these fences first i was a bit afraid, but you can hide them beyone the ground so everything is fine.

Love that new feature.

After a quick break from studies to try all the new stuff i can say that the Zoopedia update is one of the best quality of life improvements, less click for all!
Also tried the new animal talk sitting area, very good for animal show, and tried the new animals, i can't say how much i love this dlc.
In particular the Artic Fox is adorable (sounds and animations, the digging one is literally a jumpscare if you are distracted 😆), the fight animation of the Moose is impressive, Top quality animals if you ask me, continue to follow this line Frontier!

I must say, out of all the changes, the new Zoopedia filters are easily my favorite. Such a simple, but necessary QoL improvement that makes it so much more user-friendly! Thank you so much for implementing those changes :)

And the pronghorns have their desert tag now! 🥳
I also noticed that the red kangaroos are now walkthrough habitat animals - I figure a lot of people will enjoy that a lot.

It really is the little changes that make the game more enjoyable - that said, the big changes are obviously fantastic as well! Wonderful job from everyone involved, I'm already enjoying the game very much right now.

NEW - Reduced Swimming Depth Requirements for the following animals
  • After investigating and observing the performance of diving animals, we have made the following changes to depth requirements:
    • The following animals have a minimum depth requirement of 2m:
      • Cuvier's Dwarf Caiman
      • Giant Otter
      • King Penguin
      • African Penguin
      • North American Beaver
    • The following animals have a minimum depth requirement of 3m:
      • Gharial
      • Saltwater Crocodile
      • Grey Seal
      • American Alligator
      • California Sea Lion
    • The following animals have a minimum depth requirement of 4m:
      • Formosan Black Bear
      • Grizzly Bear
      • Polar Bear
      • Sun Bear
      • Bengal Tiger
      • Siberian Tiger
      • Jaguar
  • Please Note: We have chosen the above values while considering both recommended water depth for the species as well as the actual performances of the animals in the diving system when subjected to more shallow depths. We've chosen the lowest depth values for each animal where we are confident the diving system will still work properly

Will do, btw how come favorites bug is still not fixed ? Its been an issue since the launch of the game where each time you restart the game all the items you favorite are messed up, example I mark 25 as favorites i save my game and quit my game but next time I reload my game the entire favorites list is a mess, i all of a sudden have items marked as favorite that I didnt mark myself and a bunch that i did mark as favorite got unmarked. I been reporting this bug since launch but decided to stop making support tickets since they expire each time. Hope its still being looked into. It was a problem once for Planco too but it got fixed at some point so i'm sure the same can be done for this game.

Oh by the way, is it not weird that the underwater plant feeder is a free patch addition while it can only be used by the beaver - a DLC animal? Would be nice if hippos and pygmy hippos could also use it. :)

Maybe it's planned but they haven't decided what exactly will use it.


Anyways, about the DLC: I'm sorry, but no pack, old or new, can ever defeat this one. No matter what this is the best pack Planet Zoo will EVER HAVE. Only 1 way to beat it: release another pack with gray fox. Frontier, do you take the challenge😼😂?
Seriously, though, this is by far my favorite, and the music is the best. The way y'all showcased the animals is the best. This announcement trailer is the best (shall I go on?)

EDIT: fixed all my stupid typos. Man, I hate typis...😜

I find that food from an enrichment feeder may tumble into a water feature in the habitat. Then my animals can't (or won't) go in the water to eat it. So the animals get hungry but the keeper thinks there's enough food, not knowing that the food is inaccessible. So the keeper refuses to bring new food.

What I do is remove the water, adjusting the terrain as needed until the animals can climb down the bank and eat the food. That seems to reset the feeding cycle where the keepers now recognize that there isn't any food left in the habitat, so they bring more.

After dealing with this issue multiple times, I now place enrichment feeders well away from water features!

What about reseting the enrichment? Would that work?
