Still not fixed and broken since launch but worked perfect in beta is the ambience speaker, still no sound coming from it no matter what you select, is it that hard to fix this ?

We still didnt get many requested options for sandbox mode as listed here https://forums.frontier.co.uk/threads/sandbox-options-request.527960/
Many of which were available in planet coaster and which were expected in this game to make sandbox more enjoyable for us that like to make our dream zoo's. But i see its being worked on so i have high hopes.

Thanks frontier.

Hi FunGaming, as we said at the bottom of the post, we are working on introducing some Sandbox Mode additions and hope to include them in the next update. Thanks!

First minutes playing with latest patch feels much more fluent like before (6k visitors). Looks like a good job.
However, since approx 1 hour the Franchise animal market seems very dry, not even any bot listings for animals like peacock or buffalo (having applied many kind of filter combinations for over 30 minutes). Streamers on Twitch have the same issue.

Yeah i saw that too late, updated my post. Thank youso much Chante and team. Looking forward to those options.
Any update on when the ambience speaker will be fixed though, it kinda ruins the purpose to even have it as it doesnt work

This is a nice list, but I would have thought the poo bug would have been a top priority. Poo getting stuck under water, under shelters and some trees is really annoying when you have to move those things out of the way every few minutes. And draining a river so it can be cleaned is also a huge pain since often you can't even refill it to it's prior level.

Thank you for the update! One issue I've been having:

I have a 4k monitor at 75hz, and in Franchise Mode the Habitat animal trading menu loads really smoothly and cleanly - but the Exhibit animal trading menu does not. It's low resolution, slow, and painful to use.

Other users have reported this issue, and apparently a temporary fix is changing the refresh rate of your monitor to 60hz. Seems it's been around since beta. Could you look into it?

Thanks!

The other broken building hotkeys (like F, V and SPACE) are still on the list right? Really crimping my style not having those as they were KEY to the way I build my rock formations :(

Thank you for the update and that many fixes, but sadly I am still getting the connection issues with the franchise sever while playing. :(

Thank you for putting out another patch (pretty beefy) relatively quickly :) I appreciate that you are working to improve the game so it can be the game we all know it's capable of being. Great to see that herding should hopefully improve and that wolf pack sizes were balanced better. Can we confirm that other animal socializations (like grooming, play, and babies staying near mom) will also be worked on in a future patch? If it's going to take some time I completely understand, just want to know that it is still something coming down the pipeline.


Appreciate the work from the devs, I know it's probably hard to see all of the complaints but it's only because we know what Frontier can do and want this game to live up to it's potential!

Somehow I get to think this has something to do with the localisation of the game. I have the exact same problem with the disconnecting franchise server and on the issue tracker I have read of a lot of people who have the same problem, one thing we seem to have all in common: living in germany or at least having the german localisation.
Is this a clue or just a coincidence?:unsure:

thank you 😸

question, could this update cause a problem with bengal tigers fighting due to overpopulation? I moved the grown ups to the trade center ( like I always did) and the parents still fight. I removed the parents and put in a new couple and they also fighting . I never had this problem untill today, it started about 15-20 minutes ago.
I used the heatmap, only 2 tigers in the enclosure and I breed them since the tiger challenge :oops:

I had a similar problem with rhinos in the beta. When looking in the social tab, it appeared as if I had never taken any of the animals out. It kept increasing with every animal I put in but didn't increase when I took them out.
I "fixed" it by deleting the habitat door and then putting it in again. I say "fixed" because I had to do it every time I added or removed animals from the habitat.
