Update Build 32

Building & erasing

* Undo no longer deletes houses you've customised
* Clicking a house with the eraser selected now erases it instead of opening the edit panel.
* New eraser filters: Everything, Built objects, Trees & bushes, Flowers, Stones so you can clear one kind of thing without touching the rest.

Displays & window

* Ultrawide monitor support. The HUD, popups and menus now scale properly instead of getting squashed on wide screens.
* Fullscreen / windowed toggle added in Options > Settings, so you can play alongside other windows.
* Toolbar size slider
* Resized the main HUD, toolbars, splash screen cards, biome picker and settings panels so nothing crowds the screen.

Controls

* Right-click to deselect all tools
* More tooltip popups to explain tools
* "Show tips again" added to Settings, so you can re-read the control instructions any time.
* Fixed the mouse occasionally freezing the camera on game > main menu > game
* Tidied up the control options, joystick sliders no longer appear on PC.

Terrain & paths

* The flatten tool no longer erases your objects, and flatten strength stays firm in flatten-only mode.
* Grass painting now repaints the ground texture
* New Path Settings panel, including a path strength slider and the "paths erase plants" option.
* Paths blend into the landscape more softly, less aggressive flattening and smoother edges.
* Fixed the pause when switching between terrain tools.
* Campfires, benches and other props no longer sink the ground a little further every time the world regenerates.
* Terrain detail is higher quality on the Medium graphics preset.
* Undo is now hidden while you're editing a building
* Regrow Action has new icon to differentiate it from Undo

Rivers & water

* Fixed the very loud river-placement sound that played even with sound effects muted.
* The Create River button no longer blocks you from clicking to start the river.
* Fountains now have water sound.
* Waterfalls form on gentler slopes, and riverside rocks use a better cliff texture.

Nature & wildlife

* Squirrels!
* Birds now appear in the world.
* Cows are livelier and turn around much faster.
* Fixed bushes looking bare up close while their distant version looked thick.

Saving & settings

* "Load my saved settings" on the splash screen restores your graphics choices: no more resetting resolution every time you start or load a garden. Your saved resolution is also restored automatically.
* Fixed being respawned in deep water after deleting a garden and creating a new one.
* Player will always start on terrain when loading game

Sound

* Softer, warmer main toolbar sounds, and the over-loud popup sounds are gone.
* A subtle click when placing animals, and a sound for right-click.

Polish & fixes

* Quit button added to the splash screen
* Fixed WASD not working if you jump then switch to Create mode before landing
* Menu cards are now clickable directly
* Splashscreen buttons have consistent highlight colours.
* The scatter brush explained in the plant popup.
* Campfires start lit.
* Day/night slider now shows a sun that becomes a moon at night.
* The sun colour button no longer hides under your cursor.
* Pressing ESC out of Options properly hides the main menu panel.
* Regrow and grass icons redrawn to be clearer.
