Patch v13.21 (beta only)

Simulation fixes

• Fixed aquatic animal babies being stuck in the ground (thanks Hexadexx, Enzo Ramos Henrique, Ultraneongodpet, Kingdragon2026, Col. Caboose, bashclark1004, azul1462!)

• Fixed limbs mutating into sessile feet on the side, which the game cannot display (thanks AnniJPG!)

• Sped up time skips by removing excessive logs

Working on new limbs

• Redesigned the limb stats view in the animal editor to match other stats view, including a place for a description

• Added bird leg with two toes, inspired by ostriches

• Added sprawling leg with long pointy nails, inspired by lizards

• Improved model for the fast, digitigrade leg (as used by the milk bug)

• Removed incorrect option to put new limbs on top and on the tail, where they looked like the starter fin

• Added all new body parts to the .yaml files containing the statistics, so they can be tweaked

• Removed that pressing D in the animal editor removes debug functionality, showing the hopping arthropod leg (thanks Abban!)

Fixes for the terrain editor

• Made a start adding support for smaller map sizes: drawing in the planet editor seems to be working (thank azul1462, Jupiter hater, Col. caboose!)

• When changing the terrain mid simulatiion, all soil statistics should now be correctly updated (thanks Cody Beaver!)

• When you have manual changes turned on, and you change the terrain mid simulation, it will silently toggle back to non-manual changes to be able to recalculate what tiles are aquatic

Early balancing (much more to come later)

• Made sure the new filter feeder mouths only filter feed and also gave them more descriptive names (thanks Alan!)

• Made default moisture and temperature settings less extreme, so new players don't start with a difficult sandbox (thanks Sealous!)

Misc

• As scenarios are not available yet, temporarily removed the requirement to complete at least one before the sandbox is available
