I would justoutright disagree? I mean those provide no real meaningful benefit to gameplay and would be rare enough to be a waste of time.

Censoring genitalia will be pointless as you are going to design them, unless there will be an option to not simulate reproduction which will not happen. Censoring sexual scenes, however, is more doable as you can just fade to black if your (macroscopic) organism requires physical touch. It depends on how much care the reproduction mechanics will be developed, though: if I can design something that reproduces like flatworms (i.e.: by penis fencing[1]) I would want to witness the sex.[2]
I don’t know if I skipped some posts because TL;DR,[3] but I fail to see why all of these would be relevant. The goal would be to not show any sexual and/or obscene stuff. Blurring the organs would be as effective as Japanese censorship laws. I don’t see the context in which belgium sex, necrophilia, non-penetrative sex would be shown on-screen so it’s not relevant.

That’s why Thrive is great, if you want you can just evolve an organism that doesn’t have anything visible. You can even just reproduce asexually so there’s no need for sperm or anything. So more squeamish individuals will be just fine, which I think is really cool.

True… Also why would we need all those other sexual stuff it sounds more like we making some kinky sex game at this point

If you’re referring to the person who for some reason wants them to add mating without reproduction involved, that’s not going to be a thing lol

Yeah don’t know why all that would be needed like… How much time you plan on doing that loop of gameplay lol

It would be very suspicious to say the least.

Wow, it’s always a bad sign when I wake up and a see a bunch of posts in a thread…
Why do I get the feeling that this isn’t the first thread @BurgeonBlas almost ruined / ruined?
If people can’t behave, this thread will get locked.

Good thing mods are possible
You may have fixed the sticky situation with defining ‘inside’, but that still leaves the definition of ‘sexual’ unresolved
They’d be shown because there are multiple species with multiple members. There are all sorts of reasons why these behaviours could show up: Perhaps there’s a species where males have an insatiable sex drive around mating season, Maybe there’s a species with a courtship display involving oral sex prior to mating, Or there could just be one weird animal being weird
Dude. There will be no sexual content for people who don’t evolve genitalia on purpose. There is no demographic that wants to design genitalia, never see them, and is too lazy to press the skip button on a cutscene when they don’t feel like seeing itm
What about auto-evo? Will the game not be generating its own species?
Thrive isnt gonna be 100% realistic

Auto-evo is not going to be included in multicellular and aware? Game will be filled with pre-made species?

Y’all… Know it’s a game, right? 
The act doesn’t have to be shown/done in order for auto evo to work. It just… Would happen lol

No pretty sure there will still be auto evo lol

Nice argument, there is just a slight problem… Define “species”, define “sex”, define “oral sex” and define “weird”

What do you mean? Will the game not let you give animals sex-drives? Or will behaviour in general just be immutable? Will that mean that courtship displays are also impossible? And do you also mean to say that the game will allow no neurodivergence?
Are you saying Thrive is going to be a mere spore clone? Because that’s all I’m getting from your argument
OK? That doesn’t mean the results of the auto-evo would be invisible, would it?
You want the devs to code neurodivergence? Are you listening to yourself?
