Update 11 for Creature Lab - progression and visual fixes

We also want to send special thanks to all the people whose feedback is helping us to combat the most persistent issues in the game. Especially those community members that send us their DxDiag files, save files, and other data that help us directly in locating and reproducing the issues. Big kudos!

• Fixed a major blocker appearing in some instances after skipping the tutorial.
  
• Fixed the issue of mutant locked in the holder without the possibility of removing it when switching from tutorial to sandbox.
  
• Removed a progression blocker appearing in some instances after getting the first set of research papers.
  
• Amended the issue of missing mutant limbs in Creaturopedia.
  
• Amended the visual issue with the mutant's shirt.
  
• Amended the improper wall collisions.
  

For the most stable experience with new features, we advise creating new save files. The new features will work with other saves, but a new save guarantees the best performance.

A new Sanbox Mode + a free 18+ DLC for Creature Lab available now!
