It's something we are continuing to investigate, but as in-game time has an effect on many other things in the game, it's not something we can quickly sort out. Don't worry, the team is looking at solutions continuously.

Thank you for that! I completly understand that it's a deep in-game mechanic. There is patently waiting on my side (we have the game forever now, right?) and believe for the best to come. I really hope you all can take a deep breath and a well-deserved break between all the awesome work you do.

Will peafowls be able to unfurl their feathers to show off now? Still waiting for that to happen.

Also please address the lag issue when placing paths and huge fps drops when game is played for too long.

Thank you! And since it's huge and will take me about two days to download with my slow internet, can someone tell me if "localization fixes" means that animals in German are now in alphabetical order and not in English order but with German names?

Maybe my brain isn't quite working this morning, but not sure I completely understand what this one means:
"Unlocked assets in scenarios when they are loaded in sandbox and challenge mode."

Great update

One suggestion, could we able to get the old map of scenario please, I love that map a lot. The new map seem a bit ordinary than the old one.

I really have a problem with the money spent for the animal food. I had like 500,000 dollars and suddenly i started to lose a lot of money, and apparently the money i spend for that increased like 2x even when i didn't put new animals, now i'm really going to bankrupty and don't know how to save that zoo.
