Why is my oxygen resistance -40? I thought it says that all oxygen is filtered out. Also I don’t understand how I can remove the disadvantage, does it have to do with the backup genomes?
I will migrate some of my population to the pentane oceans.
well the oxygen resistance stat is determined by a lot of factors and if one of your cells get punctured at all in an atmosphere with oxygen that entire cell will turn to sand so assuming your cells never get punctured it would be functionally 20 but since that isn’t the case it’s still -40 until you get cells that cannot be punctured, and there is an organism that punctures your cells to take their energy in the dark due to you being able to biofilm and it not being able to.
not really, since it integrates every piece of RNA it comes into contact with you just need to prevent RNA you don’t want from coming into contact with it and you already have chemoreceptors that can read nucleic acids
i’m gonna move up again and try to engulf some primium virium since i have the necessary things for that and they have something i need
action: travel up to mesopelagic vents (Is this like on the boder between the Carbon based area and silicion based?)
nope, the epipelagic is split into two parts for that, also silicon based life can enter the dihydrogen monoxide with some adaptations like staying inside a liquid hydrocarbon inside another cell or becoming silicon-oxide based, a negative oxygen tolerance means you probably can’t survive touching any form of oxygen other than silicon dioxide, there are exceptions of course, for example: solaris examina, as long as it stays perfectly intact it can touch any amount of oxygen with a lower concentration of oxygen than 20%, past that it starts slowly turning into sand and at 100% oxygen it almost immediately becomes an oil filled glass bead, it also immediately starts turning into sand if the outer membrane is punctured above 1% oxygen.

@Cha @Chiori @Nonametoseehere
Mutations:
No longer absorb detrimental RNA (or I guess it would also be a DNA counterpart because I have a nucleus), by reading it, and if it makes production worse, avoiding it.
Skin cells, so when they are exposed to oxygen, internal cells are fine.
(Disadvantage, or not disadvantage if the first mutation is a success) Usage of pheremones for neurotransmitting to coordinate larger colonies.
Mutation 1: pilus to defend myself
Mutation 2: A nucleus
Mutation uno: using the HCl that would damage the cell into CaCO3 turning it into H2O, CO2 and CaCl2
Mutation dos: increase in size.
which box did you look at?
- simplify endosymbiotic primium virium
- proper pseudopods
Im not sure what is what
to figure out what mutations you want you should look in your species details box
I cant say i really understand it but i think i go with simplify endosymbiotic primium virum
that’s in my species box, you don’t have an endosymbiotic primium virium, and you have two MP, not one. look in the box labeled with your username and find the species details box.
This is all it says so i dont understand what your trying to say , the box you talk about dosnt exist. I dont know much about biology and i dont know what im supposed to look at.
If I get it right Willow means you have two mutation points so two things can be added or changed and that is the box Willow is talking about. (Also don’t worry I also sometimes confuse myself with biology despite liking it)
Ahh thank you that i understand^^
that’s the box i want you to look at, also sorry for confusing you with the mutations i chose, if i’m putting bullet marks assume that’s what i’m choosing as my mutations
Btw Willow if you’re waiting for Chiori to submit they edited their mutations Fyi

@Cha @Chiori @Nonametoseehere
just so everyone knows, you need 40 nm to take up less than or equal to 50% of your diameter and you need either an endosymbiote or a vesicle to get a basic lipid based nucleus, this is because you need to get the internal membrane from somewhere and you need to be big enough to have another membrane inside your cell without it just becoming a double membrane and currently almost everyone is just around 10 nm bigger than the smallest of them which is according to google 30 nm across and i’m basically counting a nucleus as just a specialized DNA vesicle for the size math
