0.8.2 will soon be here so the time for the usual public test build is now. The major highlights to look for are the water currents system affecting microbes, new patch events, and completed tolerances system (though the GUI sliders need a tiny bit more work that there was no time to complete). And of course there’s also a plethora of smaller features, like bioluminescence, and a variety of bugfixes.
Note that the Mac build is missing for now as I noticed this week a critical bug: the physics system causes a consistent crash within a second of gameplay starting. So that basically means the Mac version is a no-go right now but hopefully it can be sorted out within the week left until the full release.
To access the beta build, you need to enable the Thrive Launcher option for showing them. Then you can pick the beta version in the Thrive version selector to play.
As usual please post below any feedback you have on this test build. We will try to then fix as many found high priority issues before the full 0.8.2 release as possible.

Are these final bits of work on the sliders planned to be done during the last week of 0.8.2 development or only for the release after it?

Got it, I will test it out and report any feedback I have! Considering Thrive is almost at 8.2, does that mean microbial stage is almost done?

Apparently it’s supposed to release Q4 2025, so it’s approaching.

Not before the release because the risk to break something in a subtle way is too high.

@JustaDumbThriver that’s relatively close, I’m looking forward to seeing what the finished microbe stage has to offer.

I remember it was supposed to release at latest in Q3 last time I’ve checked. Hopefully we don’t end up with 1.0.0 being pushed back into 2026 atleast…

I strongly suspect it will still be this year, it will just be more of a Christmas release than a Summer one.
The bigger question is will next year be about the macroscopic editor or multicellular. On the one hand, the macroscopic editor will bring a lot more people in. On the other hand, not only do you have to pass through multicellular to get to it, but certain changes to multicellular will likely effect macroscopic, meaning that, while doing macroscopic first would likely bring much needed resources in sooner, it would also lead to possibly doing more work (edit macroscopic, edit multicellular, realize that broke macroscopic and reedit it), but also dealing with a lot more complaints (since multicellular would still be unfinished).
It might be worth it, but hopefully 1.0 will at least pull in the resources needed to spend a year on multicellular to finish the better part of [this list](https://github.com/Revolutionary-Games/Thrive/labels/stage%3Amulticellular) and a handful of other things (most notably fixing the [math for turning](https://community.revolutionarygamesstudio.com/t/multicellular-stage-ciliates-and-flagellates/8343/2) and adding options to the Reproduction Tab that currently just has Budding).

I would like you to finally solve the problem with turning at the multicellular stage, and also do it. It would also be nice to add speed to the cilia (or modify the cilia that adds speed) so that it would be fashionable to make organisms similar to ciliates.

We’re not at this stage of development now.

That would make flagella obsolete for eukaryotes.
Edit: I noticed that sea floors below ice shelves can have higher sunlight values than what the ice shelf should allow through at maximum

So far, the 0.8.2 test for me was good. Although I noticed that when I first spawned in the sulfur chunks were cubes, but after I evolved I few times they went back to normal. I also noticed the siderophores, but I have no idea what their practical purpose is. (I turned off LAWK for this run.)

You mean they were small cubes protected by a much larger hitbox?

Sidophores break iron chunks to big to eat into smaller easier to eat iron.

@aah31415 not exactly at least I don’t think so, they were just cubes.

Because some sulfur chunks ARE cubes to my knowledge.
