Welcome, Park Testers!

This release aims to address some of the issues reported by users on our Discord server and adds the last staff type for Update 11, Cashiers! These workers will manage the register at kiosks around the park, changing shift when additional cashiers are available. They are real, physical staff, just like Laborers and Keepers.

By default, Cashiers will be auto-hired from the Staff Center when the game detects kiosks that have no one assigned to them. This behavior can be disabled from the Park Services menu, or players can choose to manually hire Cashiers, just like the other staff types.

Welcome, Park Testers!

This PTB release fixes a number of player reported issues with continued polish made to the current PTB features.

It also introduces a work in progress version of the Paleopedia - an encyclopedia featuring animal information and habitat statistics! A lot of information is either missing or temporary (e.g. paddock calculator, social needs, animal life cycle stats) so don't worry about that too much.


Some improvements have been made to the behaviour of fence gates, but please let us know if you run into other issues with the fence system.

Welcome, Park Testers!

An early, in-development version of Update 11 is now available to opt-into on the Public Testing Branch! This release includes the adorable Leaellynasaura and many work in progress changes to the game. Staff, logistics and in-depth Excavations ARE NOT included and will be added to the PTB once their systems have developed further.

We're aiming to make continued use of the PTB throughout 2024 so that players have a way to check out what we're working on, even in a basic state.

If you are looking for a polished experience, we strongly suggest you do not opt-into the PTB! Update 11 is in-development!
Here are some specific things that we'd like to get feedback and bug reports o... Read more

Hey, Park Managers!

Over the last week, we've been hard at work revising our fence system to account for future features like staff gates and breakouts.

We are now looking at May 10th for our first PTB release focused on some of Update 11's basic features.

These features include:

• Leaellynasaura
  
• New Modules & Backstage Props
  
• Improved Fences & Staff Gates
  
• Improved Excavations System
  
• Improved GUI flow

So, what about staff and logistics?

These mechanics actually hinge on the improvements we're making to the fence system! Without a better framework, it'll be difficult to add gates and breakouts. Due to this, staff and logistics will arrive in a PTB update.

We're trying to approach Update 11 iteratively, so even though ... Read more
