Multicellular Organisms!

Isn’t it the same for mucilage btw

I did not realize there was a dedicated thread for Multicellular organisms, so it makes sense to also post this here.

@AnthropocenianAge

I made a multicellular organism that has all membrane types. The cyan spiky cell has Silicon (most resistant to physical attack). The magenta toxic cell has Calcium Carbonate (most resistant to toxin). The blue digestion cell has Single (regular) membrane (for fastest absorption). The yellow movement cell has Double membrane (for faster movement). The red storage cell has Cellulose (for greater health and protection against spikes and being eaten without lysosomes). The white stem cell and green detection cell have Chitin (for greater health and protection against toxins and being eaten without lysosomes).

This kind of multi-membrane organism will not be possible in the near future.

And the fact it’s your own thread…

[AnthropocenianAge (𝒜𝓇𝓉𝒽𝓇𝑜𝓅𝓁𝑒𝓊𝓇𝒶 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓉𝓈 𝓉𝑜 𝑔𝒾𝓋𝑒 𝓎𝑜𝓊 𝒶 𝒽𝓊𝑔!)]

If I had known this thread existed earlier, I would have posted the organism first on this thread.

Too late now. I suppose it doesn’t help this thread seems to have been a bit burried

Just an option in discussion! (Even if I’m the one that suggested it)

I mean keeping one membrane only for multicellular is supposed to be the most scientifically accurate approach

[Poodelicus (Crazy, Curious, and Stubborn)]

Wait, so an organism with 2 membrane types (example: engulfing head and digestive tract, with non-engulfing sides (shell)) might still be allowed?

[Rathalos]

Well, right now, you can mix normal membranes, cellulose, silica, etc. in whatever way you want. All that’s happened is I proposed that we should disable this, because IRL all multicellular life just has one type. But most things in that thread have not been accepted or rejected yet.

I do think having some non-engulfing cells in an “animal” of course makes sense, but there would be some different solution for that. Couldn’t tell you what, because there are several mutually exclusive suggested mechanics that could be used for that.

Don’t animals generally use an extracellular matrix for the hard parts?

[Rathalos]

Indeed, and on the roadmap planning thread you will find several different proposals for how to handle ECM. (Note that we have not decided which, if any, to aim for.)

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

It IS required to be added, right?

[Rathalos]

No. It’s my suggestion, but only very few things have been confirmed as things that will definitely happen.

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

I recall the roadmap has a point about intracellular matrix graphics. Is this basically supposed to be texturing for the cells’ insides? I presume this would replace the organelles to reduce the load on the game?

[Poodelicus (Crazy, Curious, and Stubborn)]

I might be mistaken, but I think that is suppose to replace the lines and give a clearer outline of the organism.

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

@Poodelicus

to replace the lines

You mean like the rigidness of the hex grid?

[Rathalos]

Which roadmap are we talking about here?

I know about this thread where we’re trying to make a roadmap by brainstorming things to later be cut down: Multicellular Roadmap Planning - Meta - Thrive Development Forum

@Poodelicus

I might be mistaken, but I think that is suppose to replace the lines and give a clearer outline of the organism.

Yeah, when talking about intra/extracellular matrix, people usually meant just making the celled cemented together more. Though that would also relate to the same mechanics as those non-cell parts.

I was mentioning this roadmap:

Release Roadmap

[Rathalos]

Oh yeah, that exists…

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

I am expecting this to be updated in due time to represent this new roadmap being discussed on the dev forum
