## Contents

### Restaurants

* The new restaurant feature allows you to create piece by piece dining areas for your guests. These facilities will satisfy guests' hunger, thirst, and energy needs
	+ Found in the Facilities > Guest Facilities browser, place down the new restaurant facility to start the process of setting one up:
		- At least one of the new restaurant tables will need to be placed and linked to the restaurant for it to be open to your guests
		- Restaurant tables are found in the new Facilities > Bins, Benches and Security > Restaurant Tables browser
		- From the Restaurant's info panel's 'Tables' tab, up to 20 tables can be placed and linked within 30m of the Restaurant
		- Tables do not need to be on a path to be usable by guests, but must not be within a dangerous animal's habitat
		- Tables in habitats that become dangerous from adding animals will be automatically unlinked from the restaurant

* Guests will automatically be seated at a free table when entering the restaurant, which will depend on the assigned vendor's skill level. A rainee can only handle a limited amount of tables, so be sure to let more experienced staff handle your busiest restaurants

### **Shop Counters**

* Restaurants aren't the only new way your guests will be able to enjoy their time at your zoos - introducing shop counters! This alternate option of creating stores will provide you with a counter-only version for an assortment of shops, allowing you to create your own custom shop designs.
* The following brands are available as counter versions for you to place and decorate to your liking:
	+ Bernie's Bakes
	+ Chief Beef
	+ Cosmic Cow Milkshakes
	+ Gulpee Energy
	+ Gulpee Slush
	+ Hot Dog Squad
	+ Pipshot Smoothies
	+ Streetfox Coffee

On top of this, there will be new small signs of the shop logos for you to place on your builds:

* Chief Beef Sign Logo
* Cosmic Cow Sign Logo
* Gulpee Energy Sign Logo
* Hot Dog Squad Sign Logo
* Pipshot Smoothie Sign Logo
* Gulpee Slush Sign Logo
* Street Fox Coffee Sign Logo

### **Burrows**

* The Animal Burrow is a placeable habitat object - it has an entrance that always aligns with the terrain, and an underground chamber that smartly positions itself in the terrain below the entrance, in which the animals will be residing
	+ With the new Animal Burrow, suitable animals won't only spend time underground for leisure, but will seek out the safety of their burrow to take care of their needs. Animal Burrows are available for:
		- European Badger
		- Aardvark
	+ Burrows count as hard shelter, and animals will seek out burrows to take care of the following needs:
		- Seeking shelter from weather or bad temperatures
		- Sleeping
		- Giving birth: If one is available, expectant mothers will reserve a burrow in the habitat to give birth to their litters. They will stay underground until the little ones are a bit older and leave to explore the habitat
	+ The burrow comes with an internal habitat webcam that can be accessed via the burrow’s info panel, so you can always check in on your animals while they are underground
	+ These cameras can be linked to billboard screens via the billboard’s replace image dropdown - we've added a new tab to the custom media selection that lists all available burrows in your zoo

### **Animal Memorials**

* Memorials can be placed into your park to teach your guests about any animal that has died in your park and commemorate their life in your zoo
* This feature adds a new management UI to the zoo overview panel, listing both exhibit and habitat animals deaths separately, which records up to 200 entries at the same time containing information like the animal's name, age, and cause of death
	+ Once the list is full, the oldest entries will be overwritten
	+ Animal entries can be marked as 'favourite' to prevent them from deletion
* Selecting an entry in the UI, you can choose one of the three memorial assets to place directly in your zoo. This memorial will then contain the data of the chosen animal, and attract guests who will view the memorial. The available assets are:
	+ Memorial Plaque Screen - a screen asset with custom image functionality, similar to the billboards already in-game
	+ Memorial Plaque Editable Sign Brass - a dedicated plaque featuring the animals name and other information in brass
	+ Memorial Plaque Editable Sign Limestone - a dedicated plaque featuring the animals name and other information in limestone
* Memorials can also directly be placed without pre-set animal data from the Facilities > Media Devices and Education > Visual Media browser, should you wish to create a memorial for an animal that isn't recorded in the memorial UI (such as a real-world pet)
	+ Memorial information can be edited on the memorial's info panel, where you can also replace the Memorial Plaque Screen's image or change the Memorial Plaque Editable Signs' font properties

### Animals

#### Expanded Colourmorph System

* The colourmorph system is now able to support more than one morph per species. This expanded system is still tied to the genetic system, with animals carrying and inheriting genes for possible morphs
* For now, this system is available for the European Fallow Deer that has three different colourmorphs available, and the European Badger with two different morphs for you to discover and breed
* The leucistic Llama also makes its return as an additional colourmorph for this species

#### Other Animal Changes

* Added Temperate and Tundra biome suitability to the Moose
* Added Aquatic biome suitability to the North American Beaver
* Adjusted Formosan Black Bear cold tolerance to match its assigned biome range
* Adjusted the enrichment requirements of Prairie Dogs to make it easier to fulfill their welfare
* Added particle effects to the African Elephant's preening animations
* Improved the Black and White Ruffed Lemur's animations from looking unnatural when fighting on uneven ground
* Tweaked the age at which some species turned elderly slightly, so that this corresponds to the species infertility age
* Updated the water based exhibit animals so they can no longer become thirsty
* Updated the African Wild Dog's Zoopedia with information regarding alternative names for this species
* Updated the Himalayan Brown Bear so it will not look too glossy when wet

### Other Additions

* Added new Grey seal ident which will randomly play for owners of the Aquatic pack
* New Badger avatar costume
* Added an indicator to show where a platform float can be placed so that it is usable by swimming animals
* Added grassland biome suitability to the Cypress Tree, Hawthorn Bush and Blackthorn Bush Foliage
* Guests will no longer have thoughts on plant coverage if the 'animal plant' need is disabled in the sandbox settings
* Players are now able to use the word 'Cougar' when naming an animal in a Franchise Zoo
* Players can now search for 'Piñata' Enrichment Items with an 'N' or an 'Ñ'
* The scenery browser search now searches for words separately. For example, searching for *Lemur White* will match the *Black-And-White Ruffed Lemur* tag. Use quotes to search for exact phrases
