Planet Zoo recently released a new update that fixed bugs and added improvements to make the game more stable.
An issue where the game would crash when the keepers who are trying to clean up a Meerkat hole after it just despawned has been fixed in this update. Additionally, an issue where animals could jump over barriers above their height requirements is now resolved.
Planet Zoo Update 1.6.2
General Bug Fixes and Improvements: Animals
- Fixed an issue where animals were drifting during lethal fights
- Fixed an issue where the female Sun Bear would not use the water pool
- Fixed an issue with the Formosan Black Bear and Grizzly Bear where they were unable to navigate the habitat while climbing
- Fixed an issue with jump height calculations, resolving occurrences where animals could escape over barriers above their height requirement
- Fixed an issue where animals would get stuck in place after pouncing on some food enrichment
- Fixed the tip of the African Penguin beak intersecting with the upper beak
- Staff will hold onto boxed animals longer when transporting if the destination looks like it's failing, to try and regrab the destination
- Meerkat holes are now interacted with correctly when the habitat they are located in is changed
- Fixed stray geometry on the Southern White Rhino tail during defecation
- Fixed food enrichment items recording the number of uses in the last 12 months
Sandbox Options
- Added an "Enable staff fleeing" option to sandbox to prevent staff fleeing from dangerous escaped animals too
- When toggling off 'Enable animal escapes' players will no longer get a notification for escapes, and animals will not enter the escaped state. Instead, they will be boxed if they are without a habitat; or moved back to the gate if they are free to wander too far
- Disabled notification alerts for overcrowding and fighting when those are toggled off, also stop guests commenting on animal temperature if that is toggled off
- Re-enabled breakdowns option as it was missing from the sandbox settings
- Added tooltip for final preset "Individual Zoo Settings" in sandbox settings
UI: Misc
- Fixed an issue where large numbers of "Joined a pack" notifications appeared when loading into a zoo
- Fixed a typo in the US-English zoopedia description for the Sacred Scarab Beetles. Users of the imperial measurement system no longer need to be afraid of 80-foot long Scarab Beetles
- Fixed an issue where switching tabs with a species search bar filled in would give inconsistent results switching back to the same tab
Stability

- Fixed crash caused by an enrichment object spawner being deleted while it was in the process of resetting itself
