- This includes their creature type, steam ID, growth level, name, and the creature type, steam ID, growth level, and name of the player that killed them
- Score no longer displays on the player list while playing Life Cycle

- The BanPlayer command now, by default, automatically bans the owner of a family shared game as well as the steam account being punished., given the banned player is currently online when it happens.

- Added Family sharing checks for banned players.
- This is checked on the local user when they want to access the server list as well as on the server's side when they log in.
