Large

* Added an extra hint to show how the mutation mechanic works, shows up when hovering locked body parts * Made underwater temperatures and seasonal effects less extreme * Remodeled the 'early lobe' fins to be more sideways oriented, so they look better when the animals drag themselves on land * Fixed mutation chances being (much) smaller than the UI claimed they were

Small

* Made greenhouse level less hot, as even the toughest plants could no longer survive * Egg types can now also mutate * Implemented the 'mutate alga' button in the alga detail view (did nothing so far) * Swimming animals now gradually slow down when they reach their target (instead of abrupt stop) * Optimization: only show alga holdfasts when up close * Optimization: stop alga animation when not visible * Added explanation: land animal with aquatic eggs went extinct because it could not reach water in time to lay its eggs * Added explanation: aquatic animal with land eggs went extinct because it could not reach land in time to lay its eggs * Fixed inaccessible area in the east of each sandbox map * Animals can no longer walk on steep terrain (but plants can grow there!) * The seasons editor no longer glitches out after the deleting the last season * Fixed confusing animal editor warning for nest builders that are too heavy for their legs * Fixed hibernation slider availability when opening the animal editor * Fixed crash when randomly mutating algae after loading a savegame * Changed the starter level to have water until the edges * Changed the default egg type in the sandbox to the intermediate stage (instead of the aquatic egg) * Decreased chances of animals flying through mountains * Completely removed former primitive limbs and mouths from the game (they could still show up because of random mutation)
