Aquifers and Badtide Drains

• [p]New map object: Badtide Drain. This rusty pipe can be placed on flat terrain or integrated into the side of a cliff. It discharges badwater, but only during badtides. Map creators are kindly requested not to place them directly above the starting locations.[/p][/*]
• [p]Aquifers now only produce water, and only do so during temperate weather. This also means that Drills no longer consume power during droughts or badtides.[/p][/*]
• [p]Updated Ancient Aquifer Drill’s model to have smaller supports.[/p][/*]
• [p]Updated selection colliders for Ancient, Folktails', and Iron Teeth Aquifer Drills. This allows you to select the Aquifer beneath and check its strength (only possible when editing maps or using certain cheat-ish tools).[/p][/*]

Visual fidelity

• [p]Added water transparency to the game, enabled on Medium, High, and Ultra quality presets. Water Quality has its own setting, too.[/p][/*]
• [p]Added anti-aliasing selection to the graphics settings. By default, MSAA is used on Windows, and SMAA is used on macOS. If you choose MSAA on macOS, a warning is displayed.[/p][/*]
• [p]Added a brightness slider to the graphics settings.[/p][/*]
• [p]Added animations to beavers removing Thorns (previously known as Brambles - see below). Ouchie![/p][/*]
• [p]Improved visuals for leaves on crops and trees.[/p][/*]
• [p]Tweaked water particles and water visuals in tanks.[/p][/*]
• [p]Wet beavers' fur is now visibly wet (this was actually added last week).[/p][/*]

Unstable Cores

Decorations

Balance

• [p]The duplication tool now works on crops and trees (default key binding: B).[/p][/*]
