What do you mean by that? They also have an evo game?

Never heard about it. Seems to have Spore-level โ€œevolutionโ€.

Imagine having to mine iron and rusting it in order to not run out of energy. It would never evolve. Iron isnโ€™t replenished.

"wiki"s exist. People who are actively trying to get achievements would read them. There is no reason to have โ€œhiddenโ€ achievements.

How are you supposed to try for achievements without knowing them? You may not know about them. Play the game, they pop up on the corner, and that would be fine. But I donโ€™t think achievements are like โ€œspoilersโ€. โ€œtry to do everything, you have to predict every such thingโ€ nobody would want that. If you donโ€™t want to know, just donโ€™t look. โ€œofficially hiding somethingโ€ is a symbolic attack on the right of freedom of information. Achievements are meta. They arenโ€™t a part of game lore. Nothing is ruined if you see a list of them. โ€œthis game has space stage?!!!โ€ nobody would say that. even if they do, they wouldnโ€™t regret it.

fun fact. and by fun fact i mean not fun fact. honeydew is urine. ants are drinking aphid urine. trees have too much glucose, and too little ammonia, because they can fix carbon, but they canโ€™t fix nitrogen. they have to get it from the soil. maybe if they could fix nitrogen, there wouldnโ€™t be excess carbon. and wood wouldnโ€™t exist. it would all be grass everywhere. we owe forests to an inability.

aphids eat the glucose from the trees, but a lot of sugar is useless if you canโ€™t get amino acids.
correction: they donโ€™t have a symbiotic algae. they have a symbiotic bacteria that synthesises an amino acid.

aphids eat a lot to get little ammonia. ants use aphids as a faucet to milk the trees. aphids became sessile. the ants move them around. they eat all day, get milked and thats pretty much all they do.

can we really call aphids โ€œanimal-likeโ€? they are more similar to parasitic plants now

we can divide non-lawk into โ€œhard-non-lawkโ€ and โ€œsoft-non-lawkโ€ hardnonlawk is hard sci fi. our intestinal track already produces methane. it would be very easy to light it up. an example of โ€œsoft-non-lawkโ€ is โ€œorganisms using ammonia as a solvent rather than h2oโ€ how does it work, the exact chemical formula of its enzymes and how they interact with ammonia? who knows? how does a planet have ammonia oceans, and also a great oxygenation to make macroscopic life possible? who knows? maybe somehow it works out

what does a piรฑata look like? is it about the color?

They are insects, meaning theyโ€™re animals.

Probably just a Llama-like organism with vibrant colors.

Ups, i did it again: in space stage, blow up a planet after blowing another planet.
I need one limb: evolve a sapient species with one limb
Two limbs are better: evolve a sapient species with two limbs

This is a genuinely comedic amount of overreaction. Obviously, copy striking spoilers like youโ€™re Endgame is evil and is indeed a symbolic attack on freedom of information, but no one is proposing anything of the sort, the actual thing proposed is not having an official source of information, which is silly and overkill, but not a symbolic attack on anything.

This is also a comedic exaggeration. They are literally animals. Are sponges plants? They seem like Venus flytraps to me, sitting and waiting for something to come within grabbing range. For that matter, I suppose Venus flytraps canโ€™t be plants. Etc. itโ€™s kinda hilarious.

Simplistic shapes that result from construction out of mostly cones and tubes, covered in blocky โ€œhairโ€ made of strips of paper with bright colors and no patterns on the paper. Basically, if it could fit into the art style of Viva Piรฑata, the namesake of the achievement.

Carnivorous Plants get most/all of their energy from photosynthesis and some/most of their nutrients from the animals they catch organic material they consume. Sponges and aphids get their energy from consuming living things organic material.

Parasitic Plants . . . I guess are an argument for programming the separating light and dark reactions of photosynthesis? Iโ€™m not sure.
