I took this thread less as a bug report and more as a "Heads up, this is the behavior, before this catches anyone else off-guard like it did me." to other players. There's a place for both types of post, honestly.

I mean... I do tend to think you're correct that this is (sort of) "working as intended", inasmuch as I suspect the animals have records allocated in a different system when being cared for by the mammets, which would be left as garbage state if the animal were released external to that system; it would explain why you can't release the animal without first ending the mammet's orders to care for the animal.

And while I personally still think they could improve the messaging -- and ideally block you from attempting the capture (or at least, provide a warning) if you have no free spots -- that's not really a "bug report" so much as an "improvement request" for the UX, to make the situation a recoverable error rather than an unrecoverable one. And that -- feature requests/improvements -- is something the CS folks do direct people to post in General Discussion for... well, general discussion.

Yeah. I know it's probably not a bug, but if people wanna throw that word around and call it obvious, I wanna see the post in this section. ;)

That being said did you lose the gator because you coulnt release the animal on the first try or was it because you had the max amount of animals in the first place.

Sorry I didn't get back to this a couple months ago. I filled my pasture with 20 animals then continued catching rares and whenever I did, I had no problem letting one go as part of the process of catching another. The problem started after I decided to put all my animals under care of the mamments. So if you plan to catch more still, leave some animals NOT under care or leave their slot blank.

My previous experiences taught me otherwise, plus the issue was not covered in the help files. So it's clearly all on SE.
