Planet genesis

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

I wonder if they already noticed that the species went in some strange directions…

[CatSquared]

Well, there are many other species on Planet Genesis. You can only see the ones on this continent, that are descended from the Ompard. And there are other subspecies and branches of the main species that the players control. There are probably weirder creatures, on the other side of the planet, or even in the same patches as the Ompard descendants…

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

Do they (the other animal-like species) have a major impact on the player-controlled species?

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

M1: Better tight junctions minimizes water lost while breathing, making the organism have even higher Drought Resistance.
M2: Fat reserves used for energy and water develop on the underside of the belly and sides of the legs. This increases the drought resistance of the organism even more.

[CatSquared]

No encountered ones yet, but maybe ones on different continents, or maybe they will become rival civilizations.

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

That certainly doesn’t seem like what humans wanted a terraformed world to end up as - a battleground for society-stage civs…

[CatSquared]

It’s quite hard to stop creatures from becoming intelligent while still allowing them to adapt to whatever the humans do. The easiest course of action is probably EXTERMINATION.

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

Which might be what they’ll do to the disobedient species…

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

I hope they don’t use our organisms for food. Since Dinosaurs are related to Avians like Chickens, and apparently Crocodile meat tastes like Chicken, Dinosaur meat probably also tasted like Chicken. What do the Ompards taste like?

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

There’s only one way to find out…

[CatSquared]

Probably also chicken, if both dinosaur and crocodile meat tastes like chicken. I think iguanas also taste like chicken.

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

Let’s hope we don’t end up as “Ompard Nuggets”…

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

@aah31415

end up as “Ompard Nuggets”

Why does it feel like something that McDonalds would actually make?

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

Not sure, maybe they’ll open up a restaurant at “Genesis”…

Round 10

@Cha @willow @aah31415 @AnthropocenianAge

The Drought

Over time, the Drought only got worse. Many Creatures died, unable to find food or water. There was no hope…

Lake A Becomes Dried-up Lakebed A

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

M1: Increased amount of blood vessels in the brain, increasing nutrients to neurons and increasing intelligence, as well as helping the brain to cool off in hotter weather (heat resistance)
M2: Nose becomes bigger to allow cooling in hotter environments without losing moisture.

[CatSquared]

@AnthropocenianAge

allow cooling/prevent overheating in hotter and colder environments.

You can only pick either Cold Resistance or Heat Resistance. Which one do you want?

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

I will pick heat resistance. I also edited the second part of the second sentence to include less moisture loss instead.

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

M1: More cooperation between the two-headed leads to a major intelligence increase (does this give me tier 1?)
M2: Lung Upgrade

[CatSquared]

It will bring you up to intelligence 5, but 1 more mutation is needed for Tier 1.
