Planet Zoo 2 troubleshooting

Start from what the patches already fixed. Half of the launch-week reports are covered by 1.0.4 and 1.0.5.

The rule for this section: nothing is presented as a fix unless it is in the official notes or Frontier has said it. Community advice is labelled as community advice.
