Patch v12.39

Camera changes


  • Completely overhauld camera rotation. It feels much smoother now, in particular for smaller mouse movements (thanks Neptun!)
  • In the cinematic camera panel, you now have much more finegrained control over the slower region of the camera speed slider (in exchange for less control over the faster region).
  • There's now a button in the cinematic camera to export the camera path between the first two camera presets. It's stored as a JSON file in the game's save folder.
  • The camera no longer glitches out when rotating besides the terrain (thanks Krzysztof Michalik, Amora Feray and Kazandaki!)


Fixes for timestopping and plant duplication problems


  • Fixed a problem with procedural animation system getting confused about single eyes/horns on the back of an animal, causing the plant duplication symptom (thank Hope Crazy!)
  • Fix for a situation where animal models were cleaned before they existed, fixing the timestopping bug (thanks seagullman87!)


Fixes for incorrect population sizes


  • Bandaid: all population sizes are now quicly recounted before opening the species list view
  • Fix: when grass dies because of a temperature or ocean level change, the population sizes are now correctly updated (thanks Krzysztof Michalik!)


UI fixes


  • The species list view now remembers the chosen organism type filters (thanks Izaiah Bradford!)
  • Fixed accidental camera movement and clicking organisms when the species detail view was opened after focusing on an animal (thanks Akleughuglouh!)
  • Fixed the game not resuming after hitting ESC in the notification list view (thanks Akleughuglouh!)


Other changes


  • You can no longer click on the volcano button in the sandbox if you don't have volcanoes. (thank Izaiah Bradford!)
