Maailmanlaajuiset saavutukset

The Sapling is a short simulation game where you design your own plants and animals, and put them in a world together. Or you turn on random mutations, and see what evolution does to your ecosystem!

Patch v12.34

17.1.

Fixing bugs that show up in long running simulations

Fixed a gamebreaking problem that could emerge with hormone instincts after an animal lost a hormone
Fixed a save file corrupting problem related to saving instincts and diets for the non-default sex
Removed various log messages slowing down the simulation when sped up

Balancing plant evolution from algae

Areas automatically get their nutrients filled up by nearby water, so in these areas plants can evolve without the need for fungi
Added more random variation to the 'starter plant' that evolves from algae
Fixed a problem where the shown statistics of the stilt (mangrove) roots didn't match its statistics in the simulation, leading to plants not growing in 'high moisture, max softness' areas

Fixes for the daily challenge

The daily challenge now uses a less extreme variant of the planet generator, to prevent planets that are too hot or windy for starter organisms
Medium moisture is now the default planet setting (instead of maximum)
Fixed seed selection mechanic, so it should no longer be possible to get the exact same daily challenge two days in a row
Fixed bugs that caused the daily challenge to not always lock for the day after trying
Fixed 'animals that change sex during lifetime' objective not registering
Time is now paused until you click 'let's go'

Various changes to the animal editor

Sleep pattern buttons are now greyed out for the smallest body size, because their lifespans are so short that they will die before they get tired
Dropped support for multiplacement mode (CTRL)

Performance optimization

Hearts to indicate mating now only appear when the animal is somewhat close to the camera
Zzz to indicate sleeping now only appear when the animal is close to the camera
Merged all colored spheres for the flypaper trap into 1 object, so they no longer have a measurable impact on performance (fewer draw calls)

Other changes

Fixed a bug where opening the detail view for multiple species in quick succession caused their names to be mixed up

The Sapling

[Suggestion] Pressing any key on game startup intro to skip it.

It's nice, it's well done, but I've seen it before. Would love to be able to just press any key to skip it, so I can get straight into business whenever I launch the game.

Missed a "shallow ground water" rename

Was playing the beta branch, and found that in the Moisture detector, where it usually says to modify an area's moisture or temperature, it says "edit shallow ground water". Just a small error, but I wanted to let ya know.

Patch v12.32

11.1.

Changed all scenarios to work with the new mechanics in the Scary & Sexy update

Decreased moisture in 'beach', 'disaster' and 'flower' scenarios, to better reflect what primitive leaves can handle
Changed the milestones of the 'first animal' scenario, as sight is now required to eat
Fixed instincts based on sights actually activating
Made temperature rise in 'greenhouse' scenario less extreme, because evolving heat losing body parts has become harder
Changed the helper notification in the 'greenhouse' scenario to focus on skin and eggs (instead of body parts) to beat the heat
Fixed plants with various seed types not triggering the final 'flower' scenario objective
Finally removed 'ice age' scenario
Added icon for 'swamp' scenario

Further tweaks to the scenarios

Made the sea in the 'first animal' scenario deeper, so you can use the just introduced plankton in a larger area
Hovering an organism over terrain where nothing is allowed (for example, because it outside the play area) will no longer show terrain stats
You can no longer place organisms outside the play area
Made scenario clouds less bright, so the bloom effect (to highlight bioluminescence) in the evening is less extreme
The clouds in the greenhouse scenario are now a little higher, so they don't block the view of the plants
Made pollination occur also if the nectar eaters choose to eat other food (making the 'flower' level way easier)
Made 'completionist' achievement more dynamic, so it does not matter how many scenarios I add or delete

Tweaking mouth part stats

Revised the mouth part evolution tree so you can see some air breathing mouths without using the arrow buttons
The 'attractive mandibles' now evolve from the 'larger mandibles'
Made the 'nectar feeder' and 'nectar feeder with external parts' much better at extracting energy from nectar
Decreased the hitbox size for the 'semi aquatic plant eater'

Other fixes

Various fixes to remove incorrect family tree lines in the plant and animal editors
Eggs that are not the default land/water hybrid eggs now also have hover labels telling you what species is inside (instead of FPS eating errors in the log file)
Fixed the archive button
Made sure the leave buttons (to main menu or desktop) continue to work, even if the autosave right before it fails

Patch v12.31

4.1.

Save file format 10

Loading save file version 9 is still supported, but if you click 'save' now the game will also remember:

The secondary color of juvenile stages and other sexes
Traits specific to juvenile stages and other sexes
Instinct and diet options specific to juvenile stage and other sexes
The birth locations of species
In the species detail view, not only which species your species is eating, but also in the form of what food type (eggs? fresh meat? etc)
Fungus organism caps
Fungus mutation chance
Energy collected by living plants and animals (to increase the chance they live through the night)

Fixes and changes related to saving and loading

Fixed a problem where plants died after saving and loading: the game incorrectly thought all plants were in an environment too wet and without nutrients
Added an autosave when exiting the game
Removed needless logging from the save/load process, making it much faster
In the savegame list view, sandbox saves now show the sandbox icon
You can now save scenarios before completing the first objective without the game crashing
When loading a scenario, night cycle periods are now set correclty
When loading a scenario, allowed alga and plant colors are now set correctly
Fixed a crash when exterminating populous species immediately after loading a save
Added save file versioning explanation to the load view

Working on the daily challenge

There is now a main objective view before you start, including an explanation you get only 1 attempt
Starting the daily challenge now only 'counts' AFTER you click 'let's go' in this new objective view
Added events like meteorites to the objective description
Fixed time stopping bug when the meteorite hits the world
Removed options to the retry from an autosave (which didn't exist anyway) if you fail

Tweaking the manual mutation mechanics and UI

Removed the option to mutate organisms that didn't reproduce yet (but just survived long enough) because this messed with the species counts... I think it contributed to the negative population size problem
Removed 'mutate' from the dropdown menus in the sandbox, as mutating doesn't make sense in this game mode
Removed the 'mutate' button from the organism detail views
Added a mutate icon to the species detail view, but only when mutating is possible (so not in the sandbox)

Fixes for the juvenile stage in the animal editor

Fixed bodypart hitbox sizes for juveniles
Fixed a crash that sometimes happened when resizing body parts of a juvenile animal

Mouth statistics balancing

Added grass and fresh meat energy for 'semi aquatic plant eater'

I desperately want to give this game a positive review. I love the concept, and the game has a lot of soul, but it is in dire need of polish and quality of life updates.

You need to have hover-over menus to show what the buttons do. The camera pans at a snail's pace and the controls are the wonkiest I have ever seen. The developer's Youtube shows a ton of features that I am sure are in the game, but I can't find because nothing has a label.

This is a 10/10 game held back by sluggish, unpolished mechanics of a 3/10 game.
