Full Patch Notes
Additions

• UI/UX

    • New Animal Unlocked
      
    • Research Completed
      
    • Excavation Completed

Changes

• Gameplay
  • Changed how interactables work behind the scenes, the positions of interact points on various modules may change. This change lays groundwork for future expansion, but in the immediate term will provide fixes for traffic jams at queue lines, binoculars not always connecting to the navmesh correctly, misaligned positioning at some modules, and modules being inaccessible from some directions when the game thinks they are accessible.
• Staff
  • When a keeper is cleaning dung, selecting the keeper will show which dung piles they are planning to clean up in this trip
• Audio
  • Adjusted large theropod eating sounds
