It would be more like a vertebrate with sections of armoured flesh and still having bones underneath, but yes you could make Zerg creatures.

About exoskeleton-endoskeleton combo: Couldn’t you also have something where an exoskeleton segment has ‘branches’ leading in that lead to an endoskeletal joint?
About odd limb numbers: What if you spend a long time on land, and evolve into a heavily asymetric creature, which may have an odd limb number?

I have to say, I don’t see why not, and it seems pretty belgium badass. The only issue is that you’d have to change the skeleton up a bit. Our skeletons are filled with bone marrow and blood and stuff, while insects don’t have that at all. Their skeletons are a bit more disposable.
You might be able to create something for balance purposes. Just extend your spine or something, and create a long, slim limb you could then use to help your creature in balance. Perhaps you could even make it be able to pick stuff up.

What would the purpose of having an exo - endoskeleton combo be?

I’m guessing you get the perks of hard to crush and to penetrate, but having two sets of bones would make your creature pretty heavy.

If it was a complete endoskeleton and complete exoskeleton, then if the endoskeleton is much stronger, then it could serve as a backup if the exoskeleton failed.

so I heard in other threads that the editor involves more sculpting than pre-made parts, I am wondering how complex the sculpting mechanic will be?, (we can also discuss more here if y’all want to)
I want an organelle editor.
Also we don’t know for sure as this is in the seemingly distant future.
GIVE ME ORGANELLE EDITOR OR… not…

Oh no… I was thinking of such advanced thing for my Thrive: Source project (aka The Alan Parson’s Project, lol) ! But yeah, I was thinking about an organelle editor for my own version of Thrive, but it would be for more advanced user (people with high knowledge in biology).
Maybe I should try to make a mod…
But I barely know C…
organism, organelle, eh, same thing

Wait do you mean sculpting in microbial?
yeah the multicelluar and aware stages
Technically, multicellular is split into early and late. I think the sculpting would be a lot like… that thing… the… you know… um… the… I think it starts with s… Sculptris! I think that’s what it is…
well this will be an interesting game
well in game time it will be a period of millions of years during the editor, possibly because it will take a million years to sculpt any thing lol
Please don’t double post, edit your post instead. Early multicellular is when you see cells still but have more than one, and late multicellular is when your big enough to not see cells but don’t have neurons.
so aware is animals and plant, and late aware in the advent of tools?, making aware the longest part of the game
What? Where did you get aware from? I’m talking about multicellular. Aware is just one section, having a brain/ganglia. It ends when something happens, I’m writing this via email, so I don’t know the next stage. I think it’s sentient though, which starts when you have a degree of intelligence.
oh, ok, we’re both on different topics I think, idk at this point
