New Content - Free Update 1.8.0

• NEW - Animals
  • New animal - African Leopard
• NEW - Animal Encounters 
  • Animal Encounters are an upgrade to walkthrough habitats for a selection of species that are suitable for guest interactions. While in a habitat with Animal Encounters set up, guests can leave the path and wander through the entire habitat. If they are near an idle animal, guests can approach and interact with it. Interactions may see guests get up close to an animal or directly pet it. After an interaction, guests will want to wash their hands at a Hygiene Station in the habitat, which is available from the facilities browser. Guests will be unhappy if there are no free Hygiene Stations available, so players must ensure enough capacity is provided.
  • Habitats can be turned into Animal Encounters via a new tab in the habitat's info panel. The habitat must fulfil the following conditions before guests can make use of it:
    • Guests can enter the habitat via a guest gate
    • No dangerous animal is present
    • An interactable animal is present
    • At least one Hygiene Station is present
  • The Zoopedia will now detail to what extent guests can interact with animals:
    • Can interact with this animal in Animal Encounters
    • Can walk through habitats without interactions
    • Will flee from this animal
