Frontier Developments implemented some pretty nice features in Planet Zoo Update 1.12.3. One of those features includes the ability for players to take out loans in Sandbox Mode.
Now, for those who have not yet played Planet Zoo extensively, Sandbox Mode is a game mode where players have unlimited resources to work with, meant for those who want to deal with the creative side of putting up a zoo instead of being bothered by finances.
That said, Update 1.12.3 adds the loans feature in Sandbox Mode. While players have unlimited money, being able to loan in this game mode allows them to come up with viable solutions to pay off their debts. This is handy, especially when they finally decide to play Career Mode.
In addition, this patch implements a lot of bug fixes. For instance, the major bug that caused animals to not enter or exit a burrow correctly has been resolved.
