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
