In this mode, you don’t need to worry about nutrients. You can just edit your cell, and edit it some more. The main reason is so that:
People who struggle can have fun messing with components
People can try to break the game
People can showcase features without struggling to get in just the right place
You can test it well
Is that where you can modify and evolve your organism wuth ease? Similar. I guess, to ascension, but basicly, at least for the cell stage, it removes the need for nutrients.
that is the ascension stage you can do anything in it, from modifying cells and playing with them tomaking an entire solar system.
the freebuild allows you to just bulid cells but you still need nutrients, so i think you’re talking about the ascension stage in your firs post.
the freebuild is now in the 0.4.2 release if you want to use it, as for the ascension stage it’s unlocked after you complete the space stage by building an ascension gate and then you bacically become a god/goddess.
In freebuild mode the editor button gets enabled always when you are alive. So even if you have a cell that can’t survive you can just hit the editor button to edit again before you die. Also you can’t run out of population in freebuild.
