Exotica 2: Pet Shop Simulator News

[p]Hello,[/p][p]Here is another portion of fixes & improvements. We read feedback and improve the game based on your reports and suggestions. Thank you for helping us make Exotica 2 better.[/p][p]
Changelog | 1.1.3[/p][h3]Fixed[/h3]

• [p]Fixed an issue where customers requesting an otter would only buy male animals. Customers now correctly purchase both males and females.[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue where customers always requested baby variants for snakes, spiders, small birds, large birds, and dogs. All variants are now requested correctly.[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue where an animal released back outside after being fed in a habitat would still appear hungry. After feeding and release, satiety is now correctly set to 100%.[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue where the breeding boost feed was not working. The boost feed now correctly affects breeding results across all tested animal types.[/p]

[h3]Updated[/h3]

• [p]Updated electricity bill rates: bills now occur less frequently, and the amounts charged have been reduced.[/p]

[h3]Employee/Staff Changes[/h3]

• [p]Removed employee animal phobias. This system negatively affected feeding and cleaning behavior, and it has been fully disabled based on player feedback.[/p]
• [p]Changed cleaning and maintenance staff behavior: when an employee visits a habitat to feed animals, they also clean it. When they visit to clean, they also feed. This prevents habitats from being ignored when animal satiety is low.[/p]
• [p]Changed employee controller handling: if an employee loses their controller, it is now automatically reloaded.[/p]

[p][/p][p]We would also want to apologize for the misunderstanding. The game description mentioned two functions that were removed after the Demo version: "name your favorites, and keep long-term companions." These were never available in the full game. We updated the game description.[/p]

[p]Hello,[/p][p]We provide another round of fixes. We are continuing our work to further improve the game.[/p][h3]
Changelog | 1.1.2
Fixed[/h3]

• [p]Fixed an issue where the “No delivery area” warning message appeared behind other UI elements.[/p]
• [p]Fixed the end-of-day screen.[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue where money spent or earned was not updating while the computer was open.[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue where cashiers, cleaners, warehouse workers, and customers could not reach their target locations due to incorrect Z-axis (height) calculation when moving between locations.[/p]

[h3]Updated[/h3]

• [p]Updated customer spawning — customers no longer spawn all at once and now appear at regular intervals.[/p]
• [p]Updated breeding counts for recently added animals. Values have been increased, though the minimum remains 1.[/p]

[h3]Removed (Temporary)[/h3]

• [p]Temporarily removed the total item count table (Animals, Food, Accessories, Habitats) from General Info → Item Price List due to increasing query time as the item count grew, which could result in an infinite loop and crashes.
  [/p]

[p]Cheers![/p]

[p]Changelog:[/p]

• [p]Fixed an issue where customers could not reach shelves when selecting products because some shelves were placed too high.[/p]

• [p]Fixed an issue where cleaning staff could not access the upper levels of aquariums, preventing them from feeding or cleaning.[/p]
• [p]Improved the end-of-day flow to make it more user-friendly.[/p]

• [p]Fixed a freeze when switching to the “Edit” screen at the cashier.[/p]
• [p]Fixed an issue where items could remain floating in the air when multiple workers or the player stocked the same shelf at the same time.[/p]

• [p]Fixed an issue where a save file deleted from the main menu could not be recreated with the same name.[/p]

[h3]AI / Workers[/h3]

• [p]Added new warehouse worker behavior: workers now first restock missing items on product shelves, then fill empty slots.[/p]
• [p]Added a new warehouse worker task flow: they now pick up ordered food and accessory boxes, place them on warehouse shelves, and then take them from the warehouse shelves to restock empty product shelves.[/p]
