To facilitate this transition however, we had to phase out all the existing info screen save data. [b]Players will be required to re-assign animals to their info signs and save their game.[/b] We apologise for this inconvenience!

Most of these were significantly reduced:[list] [*] Ankylosaurus: 2,000m2 [*] Coelodonta: 1,200m2 [*] Coelophysis: 600m2 [*] Dilophosaurus: 1,100m2 [*] Dryosaurus: 732m2 [*] Elasmotherium: 1,300m2 [*] Leaellynasaura: 435m2 [*] Mammuthus: 1,904m2 [*] Panthera: 700m2 [*] Plateosaurus gracilis: 994m2 [*] Plateosaurus trossingensis: 1,704m2 [*] Protoceratops: 650m2 [*] Psittacosaurus mongoliensis: 475m2 [*] Psittacosaurus sibiricus: 401m2 [*] Psittacosaurus sp.: 250m2 [*] Scelidosaurus: 734m2 [*] Smilodon fatalis: 600m2 [*] Smilodon populator: 800m2 [*] Sinotherium: 1,300m2 [*] Velociraptor: 550m2[/list][/list][b]Buildings & Scenery[/b][list] [*] Adjusted collider for Cedar Siding Wall Pillar 4m [*] Gate modules will no longer cause groups to snap to fences if that group contains any non-decoration or non-enclosure-related modules[/list][*] [b]Foliage[/b][list][*] Increased forest contribution of Acacia 1, 2 and Marula 1, 2 [*] Decreased forest contribution of Yucca Tree 2[/list][*] [b]UI/UX[/b][list] [*] Improved placement states readability by extending the placement actions’ tooltips to include more information about the validity of the current construction [*] Animal, Staff, and Guest welfare displays will now show accurate fill levels, even in sandbox mode, but will always display as green to indicate that a low welfare bar won’t actually have any negative impact on the park [*] Renamed Park Issue: ‘Module Logistics Unfulfilled’ to ‘Pending Logistics Transfer’ [*] Renamed Park Issue: ‘Park Logistics Unfulfilled’ to ‘High Resource Demand’ and disabled it temporarily until we add a Logistics overview screen to the Park Services menu[/list] [*] [b]Post Processing[/b][list] [*] Removed CTAA option from the Antialiasing quality, as it was causing unwanted visual effects [*] Sharpened default TAA [*] Adjusted the game’s Ambient Occlusion for a higher visual fidelity. This has a major effect on shaded geometry (such as interiors) [/list][/list][h2]Bug Fixes[/h2][list] [*] [b]Crashes[/b][list] [*] Potentially fixed some crashes caused by moving and placing large modular prefabs [*] Fixed a crash related to guest animal visibility [*] Fixed a crash occurring right after loading a large park [*] Fixed a critical application hang when demolishing a large amount of pieces from a large modular group[/list][*] [b]Critical[/b][list] [*] Strengthened checks for removing Animal Nursery preview assets, corresponding to previously viewed animals.
