How to hide/dismiss a notification in Planet Zoo?

Arqade Asked on July 13, 2021

In Frontier’s “Planet Zoo”, is it possible to dismiss/hide a notification, or do you just need to wait for the game to finish letting the event play out?

Basically, one of my animals is about to have a baby. Great. In the meantime I’m trying to do stuff but this notification is floating over my other windows and I can’t figure out how to either move the other windows (you can’t seem to drag the ‘help’/infopedia popup it seems like) or make the popup notification go away.

So, basically, the game shows me this helpful notification:

The notification...

If I click on the little box with the arrow, it triggers the animal camera. If I click the body of the notification, nothing happens. If I click the icon, it removes the notification, but instead brings up the ‘notification timeline’ dialog/modal which is also floating in front of everything and just makes the problem worse:

Not helpful...

Is it possible to completely dismiss the notification in some way? I know that it’s possible to configure the notifications to not show for certain events. However I find the notification useful … but not for longer than it takes for me to recognize the event and decide if I care.

You'll now be able to dismiss zoo alerts using the new trash can icon.

The events don't stay up for very long. If you're busy doing something else, it'll be gone before you realize - IMO.

There is also a bit of a delay between clicking on the button and the popup menu opening. If you double click, it shuts pretty much immediately. Your mileage may vary on a lower framerate as the game does sometimes chug along and is generally less responsive.

I do miss a right click to dismiss (it's an ingrained Civ reflex) but dismissing notification isn't that cumbersome either.
