- Added Apium, a new wild crop.
- Various optimizations to make room for the new content.
- Increased work done by small dinos while the player is away from the ranch for long periods.
- Slightly smoother navigation on slopes.
- Fixed Triassea Picnic dinosaurs sometimes spawning in the river.
- Fixed small dinos becoming invisible after being interrupted while moving to their sleeping patch.
- Fixed some instances of valid pens not being recognised when they should be.
- Fixed a tutorial escape backing out of the ranch storage menu.
- Fixed garlic positioning when carried by Dimetrodon, Microraptor, Troodon, and Velociraptor.
- Fixed errors transitioning between areas while a befriended dino was fleeing.

).
Note: Switch players may notice they have a slightly older version (1.6.16 rather than 1.6.18). It will be brought fully up-to-date at some point, but in the meantime these are the known issues on Switch:
- Diving loot drops are slightly different, and no button is shown in the prompt bar for diving.
- Some new Dilophosaurus and Spinosaurus colors are Ultra Rare, but should have lower rarity.
- A couple of minor bug fixes noted above are not present.
