v2.0.12 patch

[h3]Balance/Improvements[/h3]

• When zoned staff don't have a task they will return to and stay in their zone. They can still exit their zones to complete any part of an assigned task e.g. to reach a dispenser or if the shortest route to a task is outside the zone.
  
• Zoned staff are assigned tasks before non-zoned staff. This means when a new day starts, they will have first pick of the tasks and then non-zoned staff will collect tasks from the ones that are remaining.
  
• Guests will not be attracted to podiums if they have already heard the current talk.
  
• Prestige generated by guests who have left the aquarium will continue to count toward your prestige total until they decay in the normal way (1 game day after the prestige was generated). Previously, you lost the prestige immediately when the guest left.*
  
• Smoothed out work done when a new day starts to reduce the frame spike in large aquariums.
  

[h3]Bugs[/h3]

• Sandbox: merchants and trades which provide shoalers will give 1 extra animal so it can be traded away.
  
• Fixed bug where guest thoughts would show the thoughts that were generated the latest in the day, rather than most recently, first.
  
• Removed large margin on right hand side of dropdown items to make more space for the text.
  
• Fixed bug where accessory icon stayed grey in staff manage tab even after it has been collected.
  
• French and Russian: money symbol next to current money will not roll onto next line.
  

*In practice this won't make a large difference. In medium to large aquariums, guest prestige tends to decay before they leave anyway. However this small tweak will make the mechanic easier to understand. Your prestige total is simply the amount of prestige generated in the last game day.
