What’s New & Improved

💾 Stronger Save & Recovery

• Lineage tracking is more accurate, including how mutations influence family history.

• Badges and lineage entries are clearer, more readable, and better documented.

• Discovery tags and “NEW” indicators behave more cleanly and consistently.

🧭 UI & Options Polish

• Options now apply more intuitively, with fewer warnings and smoother quitting.

• Locked tools clearly show as unavailable, with helpful unlock hints.

• Bed naming and renaming is more reliable and visually consistent.

🎨 Visual & Presentation Updates

Why This Matters

This release doesn’t add a flashy new system—it strengthens the foundation. Your saves are safer, progression reads more clearly, and the world behaves more predictably as it grows.

As always, feedback from keepers continues to shape where things go next.
