Hi everyone, we've just released patch 1.1.4 which addresses a lot of the issues with the new animal system and reintroduces the animal observatory as a way to relocate animal herds. Full patch notes below.

This update contains text changes that currently only support English - full localization will follow but we wanted to get the changes out asap.

Changelog:

• Fix the water recycler hitching, especially when vehicle speed was set to maximum
• Add animal observatory back into the game with an ability that allows animal herds to be relocated once about 70% of animals are happy
• Add ability to dismiss animal herds from the Animal Info Panel UI
• Lower default animal difficulty in Gardener and Environmental Engineer modes
• Fix power pylons to not be able to spawn on building rubble (and vice versa) during map generation
• Change the weather to only cause lava to turn into rocks in Tier 3 in the Polar Volcano level
• Change whales to prefer spawning in ideal conditions
• Fix bamboo tiles count in City maps
• Move transpirator to tier 2 in tropical caldera and enable cloud seeder
• Temperate quarry now requires less biome coverage in tier 2
• Monorail ability is slightly cheaper
• Building ability costs are now affected by difficulty
• Fix a bug where recycling unlock conditions were tracking animals instead
