Update 1.2.2 out now!

Is there an ETA on fixing the issues with stress and animals mysteriously escaping in the middle of habitats yet?
Maybe its the same bug me and others encountered, there is a bug with animals using enrichtment boxes around barriers, when the enrichment box reaches the barrier the animals end up on the other side of the barrier happens a lot with the lemurs started after the south america update.

Have you made an Issue Tracker report on this? Would appreciate a link!
 
Thanks so much for following up with everyone's questions and getting these updates out. I haven't had any problems, but it makes me feel great to see other players being supported :)
 
Have you sent us your save file? Would help the team work on fix faster!


Could you clarify these issues? This is the first time I've heard of animals mysteriously escaping. Have you made Issue Tracker reports and can you link me?
I have a similar issue that my llama consider as escape when the llama walk through the water. I have posted it in this issue tracker.

I have sent you the savefile so you could view it

I have the dirty/diseased habitat bug in habitat with ostriches, gazelles, and plains zebras.
Same habitat had 7 stressed animals yesterday for no apparent cause.
Common Warthogs were "escaping" their habitat. Absolutely nothing along the habitat barriers, no toys, foliage, bedding, nothing. I triple-checked it and there are no escape points.
 
Was something changed about the Water? I'm currently trying to build my Idea of a perfect Dolphinarium and it looks so blue and I think it also looks more clear than before. Or is it just because I've made it extremely deep and maybe because my Sandbox Zoo where I test Stuff and create Blueprints is in the Desert Biome?
Edit: maybe it does just look so blue and clear because of all the Light that comes in trough the Glass Walls🤔

THIS DID NOT FIX THE CONSTANT FREEZING ISSUE. Loaded the update, game froze within 5 minutes. FIX THE GAME. I haven't been able to play at all for over a week now, during this shelter at home time when I could really use it.
 
Added a new Terrain Edit toggle to game settings to allow previous terrain edits around enrichment items and barriers. Found in Options>Game>Global Settings>Disable Animal Navigation Terrain Constraints. This comes with a warning as this can potentially cause problems with the animal navigation.
This was already really useful for my current Project but I would also like a Option to save Fences that are inside of a Enclosure into a Habitat-Blueprint because I've just created a small Blueprint to test if I would be able to place it into my Franchise-Zoo after its finished but it seems like the Giant Glass Tank in the middle of the Building will not be saved and I don't think I would be able to make it so perfect again

I kinda had the same problem you had with my ape house, it had several habitats and no matter what I did I couldn't completely save it as a blueprint. In the end I basically built a habitat around it so I could at least save all the stuff I build for it as one building, but now you have to place the actual habitat fences everytime you place it in a different zoo. Which yeah, really annoying and frustrating at times especailly considering how much time and work goes into it.

The best solution to this would be to allow us to select EVERYTHING with the multi-select tool, not just scenery pieces and nature/building stuff but habitats, fences and benches etc. as well. I mean we could select rides and coasters with it in PC to save the whole thing as a blueprint, so why not the habitats in PZ which are basically the coasters of this game?
 
I've just noticed that Paths inside of Enclosures also don't get saved. There is a lot of Work to do once the Building is finished and I placed it in my Zoo
 
Yeah, the paths is another problem. I mean they're a pain to work with even while building from scratch, but getting them to work like they should after you placed a blueprint? Down right impossible most of the time...there really should be an option to save paths in blueprints as well. But like almost everything else regarding paths: it's been there since the early days of PC and never changed so I doubt it ever will.
