### **Bug fixes**

* **Animals**
	+ Loading older saves with invalidated habitat navigation is now handled in the loading screen instead of compiling it in-game; a loading screen tip has been added to notify you when this is happening. It alerts you to save afterwards so the rebuild doesn't need to take place again. Animals get boxed and reopened at the habitat gate if navigation is regenerated.
	+ Updated fight notifications:
		- Animals that are likely to injure each other are now back in the animal alerts, and marked as 'Dangerous Fights'. Moving some alerts to the timeline is intended to be more forgiving to deliberately non-perfect social setups, such as Reindeer fighting for mates.
		- Fixed a bug that caused each fight to be reported twice in the timeline.
		- To make the timeline easier to browse, older matching fight notifications are automatically removed; only the most recent and relevant one remains.
	+ Albino genetics are now inherited in sandbox (or any non-franchise mode)
	+ Drinking station access improved for animals.
