I know its for Tundra Biome only but what specific graphical setting do we have to adjust ? That is what im asking as its not specified anywhereHigh or above, in the Tundra biome only

I think you need to have the general graphical setting on high or ultra-high.
That would make no sense because thenyou would never beable to have custom settings if they only go by preset, there must bea specific setting that enables this.
Honestly even a 1200 + 400 square meter space requirement would fit the challenge bill described in the official response, since that's twice the size of a Grizzly Bear habitat yet smaller than an African Elephant at 1600 square meters.
Otherwise the inconsistency in animal space requirements would trigger a whole new debate on animal welfare in Planet Zoo.
Almost every feature that was on my "this really should be in the game" list has been added with this update....freaking amazing.
<3 this game and an update like this just makes me appreciate the dev team even more.

Hi there. This size is indeed intentional. Polar Bears pose a difficult issue to real world zoos in that they can become unhappy and show signs of struggling if they don't have lots of land to roam around in and things to keep them from getting bored. As Planet Zoo focuses on conservation we really wanted to ensure we were keeping true to the plight of the Polar Bear in the game and showcasing the real world effort needed to care for their conservation.
Please report any issues you encounter on our Issue Tracker so our developers can investigate as soon as possible.
I just tested this and I set a staff room with PR Perk and a staff room with Rest perk and logged out. Came back in and it had been reset. This could be as designed as the options may not be designed to stay on quitting.
I then set one of them to rest and the other to healthcare and will see if they reset after x amount of time or actions.
Well after several minutes of playing the setting stuck. So the issue ( if any ) is when you log out.
As per the update notes:
Aurora Borealis
Our team have created a beautiful in-game Aurora Borealis, also known as the Northern Lights, which you can see while in the Tundra biome! Keep your eye on the night sky to see them, as they are truly a sight to behold! We're looking forward to seeing your gorgeous screenshots of this natural phenomenon! However, it is important for us to highlight that this feature will only be available in High-Ultra Graphic settings.
It is the Preset option you need to set to Ultra. And then wait for dark .. speed up time .. or set the zoo open hours to really late so it gets dark almost instantly. Fast Speed shows the movement more noticeably. But as you can see it is faint but hopefully will build up.

You need your graphics set to high or above and the effect builds up gradually so you may not see it instantly.
I am very happy you considered the space these amazing animals need. just because some zoos did and still do keep them in small habitats does not mean it is o.k..
just little story for those who can´t imagine: in 2008 a female polar bear with a transmitter collar swam over 600km in 9 days ( yes only swimming no walking) after that she walked and swam another 1800km
And again what specific graphic setting do we need to adjust to High or Above as there are many different graphic settings in there, is it texture resolution, atmoslherics ?? I mean surely it has to be tied into a specific setting otherwise everyone could never use custom graphic settings but only presets so again what specific graphical setting needs to be put on High or Above ?
See my reply further above. The Preset option has the ultra setting which adjusts everything else for you.
Otherwise .. trial and error to find out which combination will work for you. It could be a combination of atmospheric, post processing effects etc.
But this is my point exactly, it would mean no one can use custom graphic settings ? Surely it must be tied into 1 specific setting not just presets
Okay .. I just reset my preset to normal and changed the atmospheric and this was the result. As I suggested, trial and error.
before i report a bug, is it normal that suddenly all my staff members cant find any staff room despite sitting in one and that some buildings are placed wrong even if they dont? i have like over 200 messages thats sth is wrong
