I just realized the green organism on the right side of the preview image has a shape similar to a fighterjet.

I tend to just make really big blobs of cells. In my sub series where I was trying to make the biggest cell colony possible that the game could handle I made smaller circles of cells that were connected by two cells between each “mini colony”
