    • Species icons in foodweb are now highlighted more when selected for foraging or domestication

    • Active settings are now shown in the tooltip of the in-game menu button in the top-right

  • Fixed bugs:

    • Fixed issue where some game-creation settings would affect saved games that had been created with different settings

    • Fixed non-player factions occasionally still attacking after friendship is declared (friendship was not cancelling existing intentions to attack)
