- Event log: double-click an entry to focus camera + select the responsible creature; hover highlight, fade-in, hint line.
- UI effects: fade-in for events/perf overlays, hover on inspect tabs and speed buttons, breathing selection bracket.
- Mating: same-species only (no boar x chicken); event strings reworded gender/case-neutral (fixes 'кабан спарилась с курица').
- Mushrooms: shade plants no longer scattered into bright cells (no canopy -> they don't appear), matching the low-light niche.
- Bump engine: lighter night floor.
