Patch v13.23 (beta only)

• I think I finally figured out how to prevent sessile feet on the side. This bug caused numerous problems, like plants multiplying, corrupt saves and missing models in the species list view.
  

• Also calculate the steepness underwater, as visible on the steepness map
  
• Got the steepness map also working mid simulation
  
• Added a maximum steepness statistic to limbs, editable in LimbStats.yaml
  
• Changed the limb stats view to show this new steepness statistic in the animal editor
  
• For the requirement panel when placing an animal, instead of just 'water', 'land' and 'steep', added various descriptions like 'mild slope' and 'cliff'
  
• In the simulation, made sure animals cannot walk on terrain too steep for them, and also don't lay eggs there
  

• Fixed problem where the first drawing was always linked to an existing continent, instead of to a new one
  
• Optimized drawing and moving continents (most noticeable when moving continents mid simulation)
  

• Prevented negative edit circle sizes (thanks azul1462!)
  
• When drawing manual stats, prevented the colors always snapping back to the terrain colors (thanks azul1462!)
  
• Set the initial value of the slider to 0.5, and made sure this reflects the actual initial value when painting
  
• Fixed the slider snapping to incorrect values after releasing the mouse button
  
• Fixed the draw tool sometimes missing the tile exactly in the middle of the circle
  
• Optimization: decreased the time the game hangs after drawing statistics
  

• Designed horizontal/vertical toggle icons
  
• Redesigned the general animal traits view, so the horizontal/vertical toggle fits better
  
• Made all changes to the torso shape (diameter, displacement) less extreme when switching to the upright form
  
• When switching, also update the mount point indicator positions and sizes
  
• Fixed problem that bodyparts on the front ended up on the back when switching posture
  
• Fixed problem where some body parts that ended up inside the torso when switching posture were not removed, while others that did not end up inside were (thanks PlayerDJNB!)
  
• For body parts that base their appearance based on position, made sure upright animals now always show the correct model
  

• Fixed incorrect evolution tree lines going out of frame in some cases
  
• Added parachute like wings to the arthropod limb tree
  
• Improved the kangaroo legs models to better fit upright postures
