Is it just a better version of that organelle with no other modifications diverging it from it’s original form?

Yes. I am thinking that it will give the ATP equivalent of three Proteorhodopsins, like how Thermoplasts gives (used to give?) the ATP equivalent of the three Thermosynthases.

So it will be much more powerful than thylka vs chloroplast then…

I thought Chloroplasts had 5 times the sugar output compared to a Thylakoid? Or did that change with the new updates?

Not sure right now. I’ve heard it’s been buffed again recently.

does proto meta have any hidden weapons?, as in if its actually dangerous to try and endosymbiosis

Pretty sure it’s possible to look up what type of cell it is in the 1st post of this round.

Actually, that would be second set of posts, or “Options”; I should probably add that next time.

Also, @cha, the only thing different is that the the Chemoreceptor has change its rotation relative to its position. It has no “weapons”.

By the way, you said that the exotic light-to-atp organelle turns off after light falls below a certain value. Do you just turn off thylka process when that happens in-game?

Yes. When I simulate Proteorhodospin, I turn off both the Photosynthesis and Cytosolic Glycolysis. When I simulate Melanokoids, I only turn off the Photosynthesis process.

Just wanted to know so there isn’t a repeat of the toxisome, so it will be an attempt on proto meta

Hopefully you won’t have your lineage go extinct before the endosymbiont is acquired.

Eh Phaüs has a sister clade and a distant cousin clade both of which share the dual pterosphin

Pretty sure switching species after going extinct reverts endosymbiosis progress.

Yeah it does but I mostly mean even if this species sadly dies it has many sister clades which can continue the legacy

They could perish to some event too…

If they share the same patch, which I believe the Phaüs do but their macro cousins are in the estuary I believe, besides one which is the ancestors to the Phaüs lineage

Do you think the Phaus lineage will last?

Nothing last forever, but I do have hope that an asteroid doesn’t blast the only ammonia fixation that exist on the planet rn, but perhaps it does endure some million years, it descedants might one day carry its legacy but that’s a luck game

I think each turn is like 25 myrs already…
