Different types of photosynthesis

Uhhhh sure no prob

Let’s see…

From what I understand, you are advocating for a more complex protein system at some point in the future, regardless of when that will be. Such a system would allow you to design custom proteins to perform whatever tasks you wanted.

Then the talk dives into development time, and then a lengthy conversation about gluons and the heat death of the universe. Sadly I cannot sum this up or explain it better due to the fact I don’t even k la what the heat death of the universe is, much less a gluon or ‘the big rip’.


Here’s my own two cents on the first half of this conversation, before it went off topic;

Your idea for a protein editor would be really cool, willow. However, it would be so extraordinarily complex it would take ages of work for a feature only dedicated players might use, so definitely shouldn’t be a major development goal.

However, you discussed a developer at some time in the future working on this if they so chose, which is of course perfectly viable. However, even then, how would such a system be created where someone could make anything they want? How would that even be coded? There are billions of possibilities that could be made, and unlike custom organs which always will effectively do the same thing (ex. A digestive system will always digest, regardless of how it does it) there is no such guarantee of similarity when a player builds custom proteins.

TLDR; do I think your idea is cool? Absolutely. Would it be several crap tons of work for something that might not even work? Yes to that as well.
