> **Viva la disco mode**
>
> In an earlier version of Thrive, there was glitch where the cell nucleus flashed which was dubbed the disco mode. The feature was given its own theme song in the april fools update of 0.4.0. It is decided that in the final game, while using cheats in microbe stage, the cell will turn into a disco ball.

> **The banana biome**
>
> Going with the thrive memes, there was another glitch which turned the background into a yellow “banana” biome. This paranormal event has resulted in the formation of cults worshipping the banana gods, which had 13 followers and 2 also followers. Unfortunately, anti banana activists convinced the moderators to persecute all cult activities and silence their threads. The true number of the cult today is unknown.

> **The helicopter build**
>
> Before rotation speed was added, colonies could spin at infinite speed, and this creature was made

> > With _considerable_ effort, I was able to make a photosynthetic bacterial colony work. It’s very hard to reproduce when you can’t absorb dead cells, and the game chugs like a steam engine because of all the parts lying around/size of the colony, but it’s possible! At this size, I can’t move around at all normally, and instead have to spin around and use the piles of parts as leverage to push and pull myself to tasty patches of nutrients. To handle predators, I _ **spin around like a helicopter** _ to kill them with the spines on my sides.  
> > The game is also convinced I am not only going extinct, but am already. I’m in good company, though - this takes so long and I kill so many other organisms that everything else is basically extinct, too.
> > 
> > Of course, my species thrives anyway, because it doesn’t care what the auto-eval thinks. Life, uh…finds a way.

> **50 gens writes 10 achievements a day for the last few months**
>
> I suggest other people to write achievements too. For me, writing lots of small ideas is easier than making a single long post.

> **Robotrannic madness**
>
> > **In the achievement thread in the old forum, a lot of unviable achievements were started to be posted.**
> >
> > [Oliveriver]how would the game even know your creature was hexagonal or your economy was based on toothbrushes? but they’re fun to speculate on so create as many as you want.
> 
> > **robotrannic was one of the earliest posters. when he saw what was going on, he decided to do the same.some of his achievements were really weird**

> > - [RoboTrannic] isolation: go where no animal can go before going to space
> 
> > **the other users decided that he was a big contributer to the madness on the achievement tread**
> >
> > - [TheGraveKnight]Ok no offense Robo but I am now dubbing you the “Crash Bandicoot” of the forums.
> > - [RoboTrannic] thats a compliment since the n.sane trilogy outsold any 3d mario game
> 
> He has posted in the new forum, but nothing in the achievement thread. After some time, he became inactive, and didn’t respond to my intrusive pinging. I feel very sad for never meeting you, robo. I hope the world brings you joy, like you brought to it.
