Will they be determined by a dice every round? Or only every few rounds?

[JustaDumbThriver (He who has the IQ of a half-eaten Wendy's Baconator(tm))]

Every 10 rounds, there will be something big. I will decide what that something is with a spinner.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Will the spinner only determine the severity or only the type of event or both?

[JustaDumbThriver (He who has the IQ of a half-eaten Wendy's Baconator(tm))]

Both. There will be a spinner determining if:
Nothing happens
An asteroid impacts
A volcano erupts
The sun gets brighter
or, a Supernova happens.

There will be a spinner on how severe the event will be. Of course, if the first wheel lands on “nothing happens,” I won’t spin it. Here’s the list:
Mild
Moderate
Severe

What will be the damage done by “severe”?

[JustaDumbThriver (He who has the IQ of a half-eaten Wendy's Baconator(tm))]

Lots of damage. Mass extinction levels, maybe.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

What if all our species become a part of the past due to such an event?

[JustaDumbThriver (He who has the IQ of a half-eaten Wendy's Baconator(tm))]

The wheel will prefer AI organisms over your organisms to kill.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

What if it kills both nevertheless?

[JustaDumbThriver (He who has the IQ of a half-eaten Wendy's Baconator(tm))]

By the time the wheel could kill a beginning-of-the-game level of biodiversity, there will be a LOT of species for the wheel to kill. So much that the wheel may not kill them all.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I see. So the events may only kill a finite amount of species even if all of them aren’t suited for surviving the event’s conditions?

[JustaDumbThriver (He who has the IQ of a half-eaten Wendy's Baconator(tm))]

Yeah. Of course, I’m being slightly optimistic. Who knows? Maybe random chance and gambling could kill all non-AI species! In case you get your species wiped out by a mass extinction, you can pick an AI species a generation apart from you. If all species descended from your ancestors a generation ago die, then I geuss your species just was not fit enough.

How do you determine how AI species split off from player species?

[JustaDumbThriver (He who has the IQ of a half-eaten Wendy's Baconator(tm))]

I have 2 AI species split off, and randomly determine their mutations.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

How do they look like? Same as the base species?

[JustaDumbThriver (He who has the IQ of a half-eaten Wendy's Baconator(tm))]

They will look a bit different.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

So it’ll only be revealed once new players join in?

[JustaDumbThriver (He who has the IQ of a half-eaten Wendy's Baconator(tm))]

No, AI species will be revealed when created. Also, for the sake of my own sanity, an AI species can have only one descendant in the next generation.

@JustaDumbThriver

for the sake of my own sanity, an AI species can have only one descendant in the next generation.

Yeah…because in my FG, there can be 5 possible descendants per player!

@JustaDumbThriver

an AI species can have only one descendant in the next generation.

That might cause problems with creating diverse lineages… But I understand.
