Welcome, Park Managers!
This follow up patch to Update 11 addresses some of the more immediate feedback given by the community. Additional patches are soon to come!
Features


Amongst various changes to balance, guests and staff (particularly regarding travel speed and exploration distance), we've added a Sandbox conversion tool to Challenge Mode! This should help players whose parks are impacted by balance or calculation adjustments made throughout Early Access.
Going to Settings > Gameplay will now display the sandbox conversion button.



For more information about what other changes are coming in the next few weeks, please read our previous Dev Diary. Thanks!
Known Issues & Additional Notes


Animation issues with human props are still present
The newly introduced fence-end arrows appear on load. Placing a fence and cancelling will make them disappear!
Some visitors may disobey gravity at higher altitudes and continue walking forwards
Staff wages may be having too big an impact on the economy, so we'll be awaiting feedback on that
The sandbox toggles for staff and logistics are NOT currently implemented! Though the buttons have snuck into the build, we are still working on them and are being targeted for release ASAP.
