Fantastic update, thanks. Can't wait to check everything out later...

By the by, but could y'all possibly add all the shirts/hats from the avatar editor into the souvenir shops? I want my guests to wear that chicken hat
 
@PhilWeeks
Thanks a lot but....

1.) After restarting the game, visitors wave in the gift
shop and are stuck. But before that they could walk
in the store. 2.) All animals on the small animal
information boards can only be selected in English. I
have to ask Google what the animals are called in
German. 3.) Micro stuttering when walking through
the zoo in the first person perspective after placing
dried bison grass. 4.) Visitors walk very quickly in the
petting zoo. 5.) Why are there no food donation
machines where visitors can buy donated food,
which they could feed to the animals in the petting
z00. 6.) Many people build cash stands in front of
their main zoo entrance. We use the Just-a-momento
stand for this because there is no cash stand. A cash
register is missing. 7.) It must be possible to change
the currency to euros in the settings instead of just
dollars. 8.) It is only possible to set cent amounts if
you click on the main entrance. It must also be
possible to set this to "Zoo" in the bar at the bottom.
 
The new update is simply spectacular! Thanks to the Frontier team for this.

However, I would like to offer a constructive suggestion. The rustic aesthetic of the fences in the new pack is impressive and brings a level of detail never seen before in the game. Considering that Planet Zoo is a game that celebrates creativity, it would be fantastic if the parts of these fences were available separately, including posts and boards, and were flexicolor. This would increase our creative freedom, which is one of the main attractions of this game.

The recent pack truly combined the best of both worlds, adding new animals and scenery elements. However, by limiting the modularity of certain objects, which in previous packs were offered as individual pieces, I feel like we lost some of that freedom. This is, in a way, a step backwards in the evolution of the game.

I agree, that wood would be so useful!
