Patch v12.34

• Fixed a gamebreaking problem that could emerge with hormone instincts after an animal lost a hormone
  
• Fixed a save file corrupting problem related to saving instincts and diets for the non-default sex
  
• Removed various log messages slowing down the simulation when sped up
  

• Areas automatically get their nutrients filled up by nearby water, so in these areas plants can evolve without the need for fungi
  
• Added more random variation to the 'starter plant' that evolves from algae
  
• Fixed a problem where the shown statistics of the stilt (mangrove) roots didn't match its statistics in the simulation, leading to plants not growing in 'high moisture, max softness' areas
  

• The daily challenge now uses a less extreme variant of the planet generator, to prevent planets that are too hot or windy for starter organisms
  
• Medium moisture is now the default planet setting (instead of maximum)
  
• Fixed seed selection mechanic, so it should no longer be possible to get the exact same daily challenge two days in a row
  
• Fixed bugs that caused the daily challenge to not always lock for the day after trying
  
• Fixed 'animals that change sex during lifetime' objective not registering
  
• Time is now paused until you click 'let's go'
  

• Sleep pattern buttons are now greyed out for the smallest body size, because their lifespans are so short that they will die before they get tired
  
• Dropped support for multiplacement mode (CTRL)
  

• Hearts to indicate mating now only appear when the animal is somewhat close to the camera
  
• Zzz to indicate sleeping now only appear when the animal is close to the camera
  
• Merged all colored spheres for the flypaper trap into 1 object, so they no longer have a measurable impact on performance (fewer draw calls)
  

• Fixed a bug where opening the detail view for multiple species in quick succession caused their names to be mixed up
