This is what has changed since the movement update patch last week.

Fixes for juveniles and the red torso length handle in the animal editor


  • When changing posture of adults, and juveniles have the same posture, also change it for the juvenile... fixes unexpected behavior and ALSO prevents crashes related to accessories on top (thanks, Shemariguess, al!)
  • For juveniles, have the handle at the correct position also when the posture is different from the adult form
  • Fixed handle initially not responding when looking at the juvenile form of an animal
  • Made sure the handle is at the correct position when entering the editor


Various fixes for volcanoes


  • Fixed not being able to highlight a volcano directly after creating it
  • Moving a volcano now also moves the hole (thanks TaterTot, Mike the Drawman!)
  • Fixed problem with hability calculations that caused volcanoes to be linked to existing landmass indices (thanks TaterTot!)
  • Volcanoes that were removed by the player can no longer erupt (thanks TaterTot!)
  • Volcanoes no longer remain highlighted after you selected which one should erupt


Fixed various unlocking mechanics


  • In the plant editor during the scenarios, the correct plant traits are unlocked also when mutating a plant two times in a row (thanks TaterTot!)
  • Sandbox mode now requires finishing the first scenario again
  • You can no longer click and play scenarios that are not unlocked yet (thanks VoidHydra!)
  • The 'cool completionist' achievement is now only awarded when all scenarios are actually beaten (thanks VoidHydra!)
  • Fixed the 'Courageous Carnivore' achievement never firing (thanks al!)


Fixes for the sandbox


  • Disaster panel: moisture button no longer influences ocean moisture level
  • When randomly generating a planet, gravity is now also randomized instead of always being super strong (thanks TaterTot!)


Misc


  • Made sleeping and giving birth animations slightly less weird for upright animals (thanks Parrokeet!)
