The menu screens have had a considerable design overhaul. The login page has been reworked into a two stage process. One part is for logging in and the other for specifying how you will spawn. After your first successful login and given you have completed the tutorial, you will always be presented the secondary screen, unless you press the back button to edit your login information.
This will also detail all new features and changes of the related PR.
Family spawning: Enter the name of the family you want to spawn into. Introduced to reduce SID spam. (Need to clarify effects if no family found, no fertiles etc)
Seeds: Seeds or Spawn Seeds have been renamed to Spawn Code for clarity. We encourage all experienced players to actively change their language to avoid confusion and help with a quick transition.
Tool tips: Most buttons now have relevant tool tips.
New field locking UI: When clicking outside a lockable field, the field will lock, hiding the data and displaying grey with lighter grey slanted lines. To unlock the field, you must click it and then click the yellow exclamation box to the right of the field. The three lockable fields are currently for username, key, and spawn code.
New "pause" screen: "Pausing" in the middle of the game using ESC will now display a redesigned "pause" screen. From here you can use ESC again to resume or in the bottom right you can use the menu to resume, access settings or quit.
Twinning: The player to initiate a friends lobby will dictate the way all friends spawn. Affected by tutorial completion (Joint tutorial) and spawn options (Normal, spawn code or family).
Fertile age: Has been increased from 14 to 15. Avoiding sudden baby births when Eve spawns at 14.
