New Bases

We'll start off the Development Update by announcing that there have been a few bases that were made years back during 2013 or 2014 when we originally did a genetic rehaul; eventually, these were forgotten about among dozens and dozens of base releases. We've been going through files that have never seen the light of day recently, and decided that it would be okay even now in 2022 to add them! We hope these bases will certainly add variety, even with potato cubs!

Aspen, a Black Light Solid Uncommon base tied to Fallow skin.

Butternut, a Cream Dark Solid Uncommon base tied to Brown skin.

Flaxen, a Cream Dark Countershaded Rare base tied to Tan skin.

Gunmetal Gray, a Black Dark Countershaded Uncommon base tied to Gray skin.

Medium Golden, a Golden Medium Solid Common base tied to Marbled skin.

Rufous, a Red Light Countershaded Uncommon base tied to Tawny skin.

Willow, a Black Light Solid Uncommon base tied to White skin.

Bug Fixes

* Cave stats should now properly add up all cubs and adolescents.
* In rare cases, a Clan Raffle could end up with no prize if the item being raffled off was taken right as the raffle was being created. This should no longer be the case. You may also sometimes see an unavailable item in a Clan Hoard if it is currently being grabbed or raffled off. These items will appear faded out and have a tooltip with the text: "This item is currently unavailable."
* It should no longer be possible to double-submit an answer for a single Trivia question.
* Lethal cubs stored in Pride Dynasties will no longer disappear if their mother leaves due to neglect.
* Neutron eyes now show up in search dropdowns and the Lion Wardrobe.
* Tefnut's Temple has had protections put in place for future years to prevent multiple donations when reloading the page or pressing "Back" after making SB donations, or from accidental double-clicks.
* The Celestial Explore neutrino tentacles encounter no longer gives 5 SB if you are at or above the 5000 SB cap.
* The fertility snake will no longer take your SB when attempting to reveal the fertility of an invalid lion (e.g., "No eligible lions.").
* Trivia will now properly display a new question after rolling over, rather than a blank section where a question should be.
* When using the Falcon's Eye on a lion that you own, the lion's mutation status will now properly update whether you use the dropdown or manually input your lion's ID ("Not Checked" to "None" or "Adult Mutation Present", depending on if they have an adult mutation). If you are using the Falcon's Eye on a lion you do not own, whether you use the dropdown or manually input their ID, the mutation status will not update (this has not changed).

Note: We are updating and processing July's mutation files right now and through the weekend. Please report them missing only after July 10th.
