0.5.9 Release Canditate Testing

I was in a normal game but I was using cheats. Yes, it showed me the “become macroscopic” text.

Could you provide a save if the issue persists after loading a game? Or some kind of way to get the issue to happen at least a bit consistently.

Oh. I think it’s me. I didn’t realize you had to press the button.

Do you know any zip extraction softwares I could use?

25

7zip works on mac as well.

26

Thanks!

27

What type of file is the download? My windows PC doesn’t seem to recognize it. I don’t think I had this problem with previous release candidates?

Edit: nevermind, manually directed 7ZIP to it.

I found the easter egg (three gens into my third playthrough today), but he was apparently dead :disappointed_relieved: :frowning:
Anyway, the “At Cursor” panel gave me no information about it. I thought it was supposed to say “Googly-eyed Cell” when hovering over it?

I feel like the population growth rates should be lowered bc of this stuff: ventchillin — ImgBB
for context im on my 15th gen and im in the hydrothermal vents

Found a bug: It seems like the AI struggle a lot to engulf smaller cells and food. Since you need to keep engulf mode on until the food starts digesting, the AI often stops engulfing way too early before they can even digest the prey/food

To reproduce this bug you can go into free build and stay as a single hex, then spawn a big enough enemy with the F6 cheat menu and let them engulf you. They will stop engulfing basically instantly

My game couldnt handel the game 4 generations later after i went multicellular and there war 5 different cell colonies on my screen at once

Can confirm I experienced this bug too. If you go extinct in a patch and move to another (in the patch extinction window) the population in the patch you move into will go down to zero (Even if you had a million)

Hello! I’ve just finished playing through the new update, and I just want to say that it’s great! You can tell the whole team has put a lot of effort into making the new update. Anyway, here’s my observations/bug reports from my playthrough -

Summary

  • The new difficulty options/new game options are great! I played on Hard Mode, and it certainly made things far harder. The AI cells evolving far faster was great too, as I encountered a gigantic eukaryotic cell as a small prokaryote, which was something that never happened before.

  • In my opinion, the Spore cell easter egg appears way too often. Here are the times that the first five appeared -
    1st - 25 minutes
    2nd - 32 minutes
    3rd - 45 minutes
    4th - 59 minutes
    5th - 76 minutes
    After a while, they stopped appearing entirely, until they came back, just far less common.

  • Although better than before, many cells on screen does still cause significant lag, as well as a audio clicking bug. I turned down the max entities on screen mid-game, and for some reason this caused an explosion of new cells to appear. The entire screen was almost filled. When I got away from them though, cell spawn rates returned to normal.

  • Sometimes the Pause button would show a play button instead when I wasn’t paused (pausing and unpausing would fix the bug)

  • The game sometimes crashed when trying to load saves.

  • AI cells would often start engulfing smaller cells, but then stop engulfing them before they were actually being digested, allowing them to escape.

  • The new patch map is a little confusing at first to see what patches you can actually migrate to.

  • Games in the Multicellular Stage do not autosave.

  • Multicellular creatures sometimes have some of their cells appear inside other cells.

  • When editing individual cells in the Multicellular editor, the original cost of organelles is taken away instead of the new one (for example - example organelle costs 50MP, but in the Multicellular editor it costs 10MP, but 50MP is taken instead.)

  • When going into the Late Multicellular Editor, your organism becomes a mess of cells.

I hope this helps!

I got to zero population, didn’t go extinct, but was unable to increase my population because the game thought I was extinct, and spent several generations at 0 pop before quitting.

I get the storage fill before the evolution meter,

I also can push viruses with my Philis

Suggested feature- add @thim 's modded feature, that cilia can drag other cells towards you in engulf mode, because cilia are underpowered right now, with no other uses.

This???

Had a crash during the early multicellular, was not doing anything in particular. Is there a dump somewhere I can upload?

By the way, this was my first playthrough this time, and no easter egg seen.

37

Same, idk if they added anything though

I think they planned for that already: Basic cilia attraction mechanism by Kasterisk · Pull Request #3480 · Revolutionary-Games/Thrive · GitHub

Ya, its cool how Thim alread y has it implemented though,

To me, it feels like there isn’t enough phosphate on Normal settings. If dead cells would all drop at least some phosphate and ammonia (they were made with something, they can’t be completely empty!), it would be OK, even will make predation a viable source of resources.

Also, why not drop a cloud of extraneous resources when consume an organella? For example, I usually have more ammonia that I need, and when I choose to engulf anything, the resources are lost to the world. It would be nice to leave anything extraneous behind as a cloud.

EDIT: About dropping a cloud – just (after 6 hours xD) saw it happen to iron, but never to ammonia, even when I was full of it.
