Ludeon Studios has a new update for Rimworld: Console Edition, which includes new features that can make animal management easier.
Are you having trouble managing the animal population in RimWorld: Console Edition? If so, there's a new feature in Update 1.22 that lets you slaughter excess animals, so your animal pen won't get filled to the brim. To access this, just go to the "Animals" tab and at the top of the UI, select "Manage Auto-Slaughter" and then tweak things to your liking.
In the previous update, the company introduced custom scenarios where you can take a preset scenario and adjust some stuff according to your preferences. That said, Update 1.22 adds a new search function that lets you find specific items in custom scenarios quickly and easily.
This patch implements improvements as well. One of the most significant is that the sliders in-game now move faster when held for better adjusting of values.
