Deep Space Life

Far away from where humans will ever explore, far away from everything we know, there is a large cluster of asteroids. Many different asteroids are here. There are asteroids made of just rock, ice, iron, glucose, etc. On one asteroid made of iron, a small blob appears. This is life.

The DSLUCA
The DSLUCA is a small blob made of a cytoplasm-like substance, just like our beloved single-hex. However, it can move through vacuum. It is half a nanometer wide and feeds on quarks. To reproduce, it eats a bunch of gravitons.

How to play
Every round has 5 generations. Every generation, you can add organelles to your… creature. Every round, I give a ruindown of your species. When you want to evolve, I will give you the creature editor. You pick an organelle and place it wherever. 50 EP on round 0. 1 generation on round 0. And organelles can be turned on and off for Cha’s sake.

Organelles
There are many organelles to choose from.
“Cytoplasm”
Converts quarks into photons. +1 Energy Production, 20 EP.
Materiosynthesizers
Like Cytoplasm, but better at converting. +5 energy production, -1 Q/s, 50 EP.
Gluonosynthesizers
Converts gluons into yummy quarks! +2 Osmoregulation, +1 Q/s, 50 EP.
Neutrino jets
Allows your species to better escape predators. +3 Osmoregulation, 50 EP.
Z-Type Bosonosynthesizers
Converts Z bosons into photons. +5 Energy Production, 40 EP.
W-Type Bosonosynthesizers
Converts W bosons into yummy quarks! +1 Osmoregulation, 0.5 Q/s, 50 EP.
???
Unlocked at round 3.

Patches
Balkon Patch: High amounts of W bosons. Sustainable amounts of Z bosons and gluons. Not much quarks.
Meijana Patch: Medium amounts of everything.
Dobani Patch : ALL THE GLUONS. Small amounts of everything else.
Indin Patch: Lots of atoms that can kill you. But lots of everything.
Selemu Patch: High amounts of quarks. Small amounts of everything else.

Species
Luca profunuspatium
Just one block of “cytoplasm.” Nothing special. It is, however, what you will base your species on. It’s called LUCA for a reason, right?

Strange profunuspatium
Named after the strange quark.
Cytoplasm at 0,0, Gluonosynthesizers at 0,1

Primona trollia
It’s me, JustaDumbThriver!
Cytoplasm at 0,0, Materiosynthesizers at 0,1

Apto Nano
It’s aah 31415!
Cytoplasm at 0,0, 0,1, and 0,-1

Phoesca profunuspatium
The guy who owns this has a villager profile picture.
Cytoplasm at 0,0, Gluonosynthsizers at 0,1

Ruina cinis
Eats Z bosons for breakfast! Slava Ukraini!
Cytoplasm at 0,0, Z-type Bosonosynthesizers at 0, -1

So I guess this whole FG will be centered on non-LAWK life, right? Cool. I’ll join and submit my species soon.

Does the round and generation stuff mean that effectively you have 500 MP per round?

The setting in a far-away asteroid belt settled by void-borne creatures kind of reminds me of SitAB…

I did not know that existed when I first posted this. But I geuss you can consider this an unnofficial sequel. Also yes, 500 MP per round.

Can I join? I need some time to make my creature, too. Also, I am thinking of making my own forum game, but I am not sure how to do it.

Okay! What’s your species name?

Strange profunuspatium, after the Strange quark.

Also, how much MP does it cost to replace “Cytoplasm” with other organelles?

1 Like

Okay. And replacing organelles costs however many mp the replacement organelle is.

Do we all start in the same patch?

Yup. Because oOh ReaLisM (even though this is literally life made of quantum particles that are around the size of a water molecule)

What happens when one player moves to the “next stage”? Will they evolve faster or not?

Looks fun, if one can join I’d be glad to.

I wonder if this FG’ll have a player limit…

Alright, your species name?

And aah, they will evolve faster when they get to the next stage. And there’s a player limit of 5.

So for instance a multicellular player will have 1000 MP instead of 500?

750 MP, actually. (20 cHaRaCtErS)

Will it just increase 250 per stage?

Sure! We can do that.

How will civs work like?

You spend evolution points not on modifications to your creature, but your tech. And expect a bunch of other civs of your species.
