Hi Frontier - this happened tonight while playing - one of the seals escaped and became SuperSeal . . . :) It was last spotted flying over South America.

That's a stunning view! Less stunning, but equally surprising is Eduardo, the otter that decided to swim all the way from his pool right into the tiger habitat!

Just got the Underwater Feeder to work. The Animations are absolutely beautiful. But sadly the Seals are clipping trough nearby Walls and the Ground during the Animation. Is there a Fish Catching Animation included? Looks like they're just swimming around the Feeder

Seals should immediately go into the Water once it gets to hot for them. I don't want to place Coolers for them when the Zoo is in Germany

It would also be great if Educators would run when they notice that they are late for the Animal Talk

The only issue i have had is the paths being a real pain in the butt to place . I have a lot of issues if i try and build a new path from any already built , I have to build the new path most of the time and then join it to the old path from there , Sometimes it just wont let me , especially if there is water nearby

^^^ This! So much this!

I really hoped with the addition of an (semi-) AQUATIC Pack there'd finally be some improvements to this freaking annoying system but nooope OBSTRUCTED here OBSTRUCTED there, can't place or edit water and paths anywhere. Oh and if you finally managed to get something half decent done and wanna change or add the tiniest thing? Well, you go right ahead delete everything you just built with no hope of ever getting it rebuilt the way it was before. This is really the biggest disappointment in this whole pack/update for me. You're required to use those tools more than ever in order to keep these animals and no matter how careful you plan and build, more often than not you end up loosing whole sections of what you already built or rage quitting the game all together :confused:

I assume you mean that you can't add Water to a specific Height if you have a Path above the Enclosure like I do with my Seal Enclosure. I do absolutely agree that they should try to do something about it. It should be possible to raise the Water up to the Edge of the Path. I've needed to destroy my Underwater Landscape I've done just because the Water was a few Centimeters too shallow and I couldn't make it higher because of the Path even though the Barrier was almost 5m high.

I'm pointing out so many Bugs and other Stuff in this Thread that I should say something positive again. I really like the Educator. I listen to every Talk if I don't miss it even though I don't understand it.
But now I need to point something out again. Why does that Guy shout ,,RAAAAWR!!!!" He's scaring the Reindeer 😆
There should be a second Talk for Herbivores without,,RAAAAWR!!!!"

That, too, but it's not only that. You have the same problems when you want to build a new path that connects to an old one that's still meters away from any water. You get the cursed OBSTRUCTED and can't do anything about it except demolish and rebuild over and over again. Same goes the other way around. The way terrain, water, paths, and barriers for that matter, work is in many aspects a really poorly executed system that sadly takes a whole lot of fun out of the game, especially now that we finally have a wider selction of water loving animals.

I'm pretty sure it should be possible to remove the Water, build the Path where you wanted and refill it again.
I'm no longer getting the Obstructed Notice for some Reason so I needed some Time to figure out that my Problem was most likely because of the Path

Yeah, only that in my experience at least 3 out of 5 times the water will then refuse to go back in there the way it was before and you really shouldn't have to do the whole delete and refill thing in the first place...especially when there are several meters in between the path and water.

I second the complaints about the water/terrain issues. It is a bit disappointing when you have a nice body of water, make sure the space is alright for the animals, remove it for whatever reason and then you just can't fill it in again...

:D I like them too! Even though I get all those notifications about them being lazy, the talks do work and the guests love them as well. And I'm confident that they will tweak that a little so that they survive walking the five metres from the talking spot to the staff room and back WITHIN ONE YEAR! ;)

I love the recolourable rocks but they are kind of overwhelming. I think if we ever get more we need a few bigger ones, maybe some similar in shape and function to the cladding we already have for the existing rock sets.

There seems to be a Problem with the Lamps. They are all turned on but the Building gets not even a little bit brighter

Yeah, I'm finding that a lot of the areas in my zoo remain quite dark despite lamps UNLESS I use the new nautical themed lights which are uber bright.

Well, I played with the penguins today (first aquatic animal I've used since the DLC dropped) and I'm blown away. Absolutely stunning! Huge respect to Frontier for making this happen. My zoo is finally starting to feel more real. Now if only we could get a few more iconic species and a few smaller animals to fill in the gaps (white rhinoceros...meerkat...please let it be so 😅). Also really want another penguin species already. They're outstanding, whoever did the heavy lifting on this animal especially should be very proud.

I agree. They are absolutely great. But more small Rocks should also be added. Sometimes I need a Rock in a specific Size but they all are too big.

The Fake Tree is also great even though I think we should get a few more different Branches for it. I don't know if that's just a Bug that occurs in my Safegame and only with that Species but for some Reason Japanese Macaques don't climb very high on this Tree🙁

How long does it usually take for them to release the first patch to a DLC? I have a main zoo I'm working on but don't want to open it due to the bugs right now.

PS: Do want to say the DLC is GREAT aside from the tank visibility issue and the bugs!

I am wondering the same. I'm holding off on working in my main zoo and buying the dlc until some of the bigger bugs have been fixed.
