Patch v12.41

• The color of the juvenile stage of an animal is now always linked to the adult stage unless you actively change it (so no more accidental brown children)
  
• If you add a bodypart in a place where the juvenile stage already has something, and you the remove that thing the juvenile stage has, the result will not be an empty space (thanks Connor McCreesh!)
  

• Fixed a timestopping bug when a fallback 3D model for animals is of the wrong sex
  
• If an animal loses a sex because of random mutations, but IS the sex that it loses, change sex
  
• In the species detail view, when cycling through sexes, the rotating example animal will now show the correct sex (thanks Izaiah Bradford!)
  
• Changed how random mutations of the mating system work, to making the emergence of sexual reproduction more likely
  
• Finally implemented that calling and making noise make an animal more attractive
  

• Fixed the animation system not being able to handle blowholes (thanks Connor McCreesh!)
  
• Prevented animals that can not make noise from making noise, even if they retain the instinct from their ancestors (thanks Connor McCreesh!)
  

• Improved rotation of all abdomens
  
• Slightly adjusted models for the top and side versions of all abdomens, to better connect to the torso
  
• Fixed positioning of electric fins during swimming
  

• The extermination confirmation modal no longer shows text in front of it
  
• The extermination confirmation modal now closes if you close the species detail view, prevent various UI glitches (thanks Izaiah Bradford!)
