Update 1.1A new character creator, crop growing, Edit Mode, rebuilding your zoo after disasters, bridges over water, colorful paths, and plenty of stability fixes.🆕 New FeaturesCharacter Creator — when starting a new game, you can now choose your character’s gender, hairstyle and hair color, face, outfit, and outfit color.

The fence is only placed and paid for when you release the button, so you can freely adjust the layout before committing.7 new path colors — terracotta, honey, granite, basalt, slate, turquoise, and olive, selectable when placing paths.LOSSES tab in the Animal Shop — shows what you lost and how many times each animal died or was stolen, including the cause (fox, UFO, tornado, neglect, and more), along with a Buy Again button.Event Log — a new 📋 tile keeps a complete history of your notifications, so messages no longer disappear forever after a few seconds. Clicking a notification — either when it appear...
