New Launch Options

Quality of Life additions

  Suggestion from a user in our discord channel

Balance Changes

• Most crises now have a 1 year cooldown

  • With the exceptions being "Flood" and "Drought"

• "Sensory Roots" mutation is now retroactive
  
• "Water Sense" mutation is now retroactive
  
• "Nutrient Zones" mutation strength reduced by 10%
  This should still be way stronger than before because now every nutrient patch is always within bounds

• "Regretful Growth" mutation no longer triggers "Intervention" mutation
  Thanks to our community for helping us find this exploit

Optimizations

• Tiles can no longer be placed outside of bounds by any means
  This should result in smaller file sizes since there will be no aquifers/rocks/nutrients outside of bounds

• Fire tiles should no longer lag the game in large quantities
  Steam Community strikes again, helping Verde find this one out with their save files

Fixes

• Fixed bounties and collection tooltips not showing up on some screens
• Fixed "Underwater Reserves" not working properly
• Initial root on Ascention 1+ will now reveal the area around itself
• Fixed weird graphics when restarting the game with Ascention 1 active
