General Base Game Fixes and Updates

New Content - Free Update 1.2.0

• NEW - Modular Souvenir Shop
  • A new way to build souvenir shops is coming to Planet Zoo: build shops of any shape and size by placing a Modular Souvenir Shop and extending it with Expansion Tiles.
  • To offer items, place souvenir displays anywhere on the shop or its expansion tiles, and select which item to sell on each display's info panel.
  • Place at least one Counter anywhere on the shop or its expansion tiles to provide a point for Vendors to serve guests within the shop. You can add as many counters as needed to ensure guests won't have to wait too long in the shop.
  • The larger the shop, the more guests can fit into the shop, but also its upkeep costs will increase - be sure to keep an eye on the guest volume in your park to meet demands!
  • Guests will be able to freely navigate the shop, browse displays and finally finish their purchase at a counter staffed with a vendor. 
• NEW - Matching Colour Multi-Select
  • An additional multi-select mode is now available to select all scenery pieces within a group that have the same colours and palette.
  • The game will create a multi-selection of pieces that match the colours and palette of the selected piece.
    • Palette refers to the different colours available for pieces of different sets, i.e. upon selecting a "Plaster" piece, the multi-selection will include all other "Plaster" pieces of the same colour, but no pieces of other sets despite having the same colour value.
