how the fecundity stat currently works is it multiplies your population by the value produced by multiplying how much your species reproduces by the percent of members of your species that survive to be able to reproduce in the format of 100% = 1 and 50% = 0.5. currently 10% of everyone’s species is making it to mitosis so if i didn’t multiply the reproduction rate by the survival rate everyone’s fecundity stat right now would be 20. this means increasing the amount of your species that can survive and reproduce will increase your fecundity stat, for example if you live in a bright patch it might be best to shield your RNA from light or have an error correction mechanism if you want to increase fecundity without increasing reproduction rate
Since when and why do I have that?
Mutation: Gene-stealing pilus
Action: Move to hydrothermal vents regularly. Develop a strategy of migrating to the vents when in scarcity of marine snow.
everyone who didn’t make their membrane organic has one
Mutation: Lipid production? (and if not, improve the effiecny of the biolumiescene)
Action: Seek colder sea (or colder area)
based on my current schedule new rounds will be on saturdays and sundays
both of those require a lot of precursors to melanin that you don’t have
only person i’m waiting on now is doomlightning
I see:
M: lysosome
A: Focusing on covering an area to prepare the soil for self-sufficiency
your special mutation point is after every even round so what are you using it for, for clarification by on every even round i meant after every even round was posted, it would be after every odd round if i started this game with a round zero
I don’t think I understood you: can I mutate or not?
you have 1 unspent mp right now, but it can only be used for things that make living around a volcano easier.
it’s from the buff {niche establishment}
I see.
So can this be used to help build a community near the volcanic area? If it’s possible, I’d love to use MP to increase my survivability there.
If not, then is there an option to save the MP?
due to the fact that in one of my previous games a player decided to save MP for over 10 rounds i’m going with rules more similar to thrive so no, and yes, it can be used to establish your species around the volcano
i understand
so pls use that for what I say about the survival in the volcano
i don’t think i understand what you meant by increase survivability, that is very broad and has about a thousand individual mutations that can be used for that in the volcano region alone, one option would be to digest the rocks, another would be to chemosynthesize since the water around the volcano has more sulfur than nnot around it, a fourth option would be thermosynthesis either through a microphone type thing and something to turn heat into sound or normal thermosynthesis means, a fifth one would be to have a cytoskeleton that can contract and expand your cell to crack rocks or engulf larger thing, or to fit through smaller spaces or get engulfed by things smaller than or the same size as you, that would also make you more resistant to freezing since water expanding in your cells would just expand your cells instead of popping them and with that you could funnel heat out of your cells to crack rocks with expansion of water
I’ll just choose cytoskeleton
you feel the things in the water keeping oxygen out start to fall out of the water

you feel a slight connection to something, like a species is trying to split off of you but your soul is impeding that, maybe you could try using an action to let it split but still be bound to your soul?

every single way to get ascension perks
- use ascension points
- level a kleptogenesis part to lvl 10 or higher and steal the perk from one member of a species[9]
- make a species extinct to absorb its soul and let the soul split off and make its own species[10]
- absorb soul shards made when an ascended soul that has never been made extinct by another ascended soul gives up
- go extinct 3 times in a row due to a specific element or combination of elements[11], [12], getting all of the elemental phoenix perks will give you something very special, there are at least 22 elemental phoenix perks so it will take at least 66 rounds to do, and adding in the fact you need to be able to survive after you get them all it’s more like 66 plus 12 in between every set of three extinctions assuming an extinction event happens every 15 rounds

this only lasts one generation if the member of the species that took it fails to reproduce or does not incorperate the perk into its genome and the soul it came from ↩︎
if a species has the phoenix perk and you make it extinct its soul will fuse with yours and then split off and revive its own species without giving you the phoenix perk ↩︎
water, earth, fire, and air elements, not periodic table elements ↩︎
unlocks elemental phoenix perks, for example, if you go extinct 3 times in a row due to being crushed by metal or hunted to extinction with metal anything you will get the (not so) secret (anymore) perk called metal phoenix which gives you the ability to turn your body into metal when in danger with the ability to melt around wounds and manipulate the molten metal to remove the wound before turning back into flesh, it also lets you incorperate metals into your body while in metal mode or forge your limbs into weapons and simply melt them back into limbs when they break, you cannot die of blood loss in metal mode meaning you can weld your limbs onto someone else if both of you are in metal mode, this includes the head if you have formed one, and if you die with this perk you will melt into a puddle and respawn at the earliest stage you can survive on your own at(can be prevented with water), these are in addition to the non fire-related parts of the base phoenix perk. extinctions reversed by the base phoenix perk count towards getting an elemental phoenix perk, having the base phoenix perk before getting an elemental phoenix perk will make the elemental part of the phoenix more powerful due to a lack of needing to add magic that reverts death ↩︎
