How to use burrows is unclear (with no tooltips)

Feeback on burrows and Frontier's game design:
I just tried out the new update for the first time and I knew roughly what was being added and that you could add burrows, connect them to billboards and house aardvarks inside em. I placed one inside a test aardvark habitat and I was totally lost on what to do next as the only information available to me was that:

  • Aardvarks were compatible
  • The usability of the burrow in that habitat was 0% (there was no information why this was the case, my guess was: can only pregnant aardvarks use this?)
  • There was a line of text that says that burrows can be connected to billboards but underneath this is a button reading "select habitat" which, as you can guess, just opens the habitat page. I was trying to find a way of connecting the burrow camera to a billboard but I couldn't find any way of doing this.

I read through the tooltip information for the billboard and then did a search in the general help/info menu but there was nothing added with the update to tell the player how to actually use this. I checked the accessibility of the burrow and the aardvarks could walk all around it.

My constructive criticism for burrows is: We need to know how to use stuff 😅

All the best & have a good holiday season.

Ok it works now. You don't have to select a habitat. Just placing the burrow is enough. To connect it to a billboard, you need to select the billboard and go to the tab with the camera. There you select the burrow. And done!

Exactly. You place the burrow, then place the screen, go to the videocamera icon and click on animal burrow.

And you can already see the burrow on the screen.

The indicator of percentage is about capacity. With 3 badgers inside, I get a capacity of 43 %

Sorry for the screenshots in Spanish, but I hope this helps.

Hey thanks for your post.
I do think it's on Frontier to make this simpler and intuitive to use. The player shouldn't have to go exploring through different tabs on separate menus to try and figure this out and when there are tooltips for everything else, why not add them for new features you're putting into the game?
