Yeah, your extinction rate will be 75% less.

What is the extinction rate now?

[JustaDumbThriver (Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)]

Around 10% per turn. I will implement that soon, by the god of the spin.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Do we have a way of protecting our species from this?

[JustaDumbThriver (Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)]

Well, the wheel can bless you with the “Thrive (get it?)” buff, so that the wheel has to roll extinction on you twice to get you. The “Thrive (get it?)” buff also has a 10% chance of rolling.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Do we have a way of making mutations that protect us from the negatives of the wheel?

[JustaDumbThriver (Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)]

No, your fate is at the hands of the wheel! GAMBLING FOR THE GAMBLING GOD!!!

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Can we decide not to gamble?

[JustaDumbThriver (Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)]

No. Gambling is love, gambling is life.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Hm. Let’s hope we all don’t get killed by the wheel then…

[willow (they/her or yours are was/were)]

one already exists tho?
well not really, since i only synthesize atp with light rn, but it will as soon as i get a carbon fixation thingy!

No, your fate is at the hands of the wheel! GAMBLING FOR THE GAMBLING GOD!!!

does the wheel favour extremely populous species’, or species’ who have spread across multiple patches?

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

It would be weird if the most successful species were the most likely to go extinct

[JustaDumbThriver (Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)]

It favors a little bit of both.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

So staying small in populace is the best option for staying out of the wheel’s sight?

[JustaDumbThriver (Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)]

I think what willow meant by “favor” is that the wheel generally lets more populous and widespread species live.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Ah I see. So the wheel will be adjusted per how a species is doing?

[JustaDumbThriver (Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)]

Yeah, it will. The 5 most populous and 5 most widespread species will each have their extinction chance lowered to 5%. If a species is in the 5 most populous and 5 most widespread at the same time, that chance becomes 5%. There are also first place buffs, but that’s the general gist.

Dinosaurs:
Proto mammals:
Psudeosuchia:
Amhpibians:

Generalists survive, but specialists are one of the things that goes right out the window when a mass extinction comes along

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

All of these survived in some form still.

[Cha (Waluigi)]

Yes but they got replaced and many of their lingeages are dead, psueosuchia I believe is completely extinct unlike their close relatives who are the crocdilomorphs
