New Contents:

- Added a genetic analysis material backpack, which can be opened via Gene Editing. All genetic analysis materials will be automatically sorted into this backpack (Any genetic analysis materials previously sorted into the warehouse and backpack can first be dropped and then re-picked to automatically sort them into the new genetic analysis material backpack.
- Added pet behavior control buttons and quick feeding (supports long-distance feeding).

Adjustments:

– All Gene Modules meeting the analysis conditions are now automatically sorted before all other Gene Modules; in addition, a very conspicuous tip has also been added to the Gene Editing button;
- Increased the drop rate of all genetic analysis materials obtained from plants (felling, gathering);
- A brief introduction to the features of the Uninhabited Island will pop up when players enter their Uninhabited Islands via Meco Portal for the first time;
- There is now a 8-second cooldown between feeding actions;
- Pets successfully tamed for the first time now start with level one;

- Fixed an issue where modded clothes being worn by the Wooden Model and Target Dummy were not displayed;
- Fixed an issue on the misallocation of achievements after acquiring all the Gene Modules of Thugs and Gamblers;
- Fixed an issue related to the Gene Module effect “When you make weapons and armor, there is a 25% chance of making equipment with advanced affixes”, where it did not take effect when crafting weapons and armor in bulk;
- Fixed an issue related to the Gene Module effect “When you kill animals, there is a 20% chance of getting more meat”, where it always increase the amount of dropped animal meat by one;
