I’ll split off willow’s species, increase movement and stealth both by 1. Scientific name: Pecaurius anocula, common name: Unseen Falsamander
I will fora- wait are all actions T1+? @CatSquared

[willow (they/her or yours are was/were)]

what are the adaptations necessary for the ocean?
i’m guessing for something that gets its water from the water it’s in, like my species, i’d need something to prevent the water from being pulled out of my body, like filling my blood with urea, or making my cells actively pull water out of the ocean around me?
and cold resistance, and better swimming

M1: mesothermy(increase cold resistance without sacrificing heat tolerance)
M2: spinal fin

the oceans aren’t affected by the drought right? since they’re filled with water by the surrounding oceans, and most of the water that evaporates from them eventually goes back in, either through rain or through river?

@JustaDumbThriver

wait are all actions T1+?

yep

JaDT, you should invest heavily into intelligence after the next round is written. It’s stated that without T1 a species will find surviving a lot harder very soon.

Hmm. I’ll spend both of my mutations getting smarter next round. Also, are actions run before or after mutations?

@JustaDumbThriver

Like willow said, actions are Tier 1. But as you are branching of a creature with a high intelligence, it will be quick to reach Tier 1.

@willow

what are the adaptations necessary for the ocean?

It requires Swimming 10 and Cold resistance 5. You can check in the patch key, as I have added the necessary mutations for each patch.

@willow

the oceans aren’t affected by the drought right?

The Ocean and other Islands aren’t affected by the drought.

@JustaDumbThriver

Also, are actions run before or after mutations?

Afterwards, but before the population is calculated. Also, thanks for joining Planet Genesis!

Good thing willow’s species is the smartest T0, just barely below T1… I can get to T1 and have an extra mutation to spend!

[CatSquared]

It would take 2 mutations, 1 to reach 5 and 1 to reach Tier 1.

[JustaDumbThriver (He who has the IQ of a half-eaten Wendy's Baconator(tm))]

Oh… I thought T1 was automatically given to you at Level 5 intelligence.

Btw cat^2 will there be other events that will need us to get a higher intelligence tier or else “you will face difficulties”?

[JustaDumbThriver (He who has the IQ of a half-eaten Wendy's Baconator(tm))]

@CatSquared You can consult the chart for my evolutions.

The checkmarks indicate they have already been done. You already know what my mutation for this round is!

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

You going to compete with the two-headed?

[JustaDumbThriver (He who has the IQ of a half-eaten Wendy's Baconator(tm))]

Well, I’ll also be eating the underwater corpses that just happen to be near. I’m not sure your species can swim, so that’s a bit of niche partitioning.

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

I can assume so.
Also as humans are soon to settle our area, I wonder if yours will become a piece of seafood…

[JustaDumbThriver (He who has the IQ of a half-eaten Wendy's Baconator(tm))]

Wait, how large is a medium sized species? Because if it’s the size of me, I’m not taking any chances and fighting it. I’ll just run. How big is a medium grazer in meters? @CatSquared I need answers.

[willow (they/her or yours are was/were)]

@CatSquared

Fins running down the sides of the torso, increasing surface area exposed to light (+0.25 food per humid, temperate or aquatic patch)

why is this in the egg mutations? it’s for the adult members of my species

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

@CatSquared

Tiny: 0.5X Strength, 1.5X Movement, Large Insect size

Small: 0.75X Strength, 1.25X Movement, Large Rat size

Medium: 1X Strength, 1X Movement, Dog or Large Cat size

Large: 1.25X Strength, 0.75X Movement, Big Pig or Small Horse size

Massive: 1.5X Strength, 0.5X Movement, Big Horse, Large cow, or Small Elephant size

Research more the next time.

[JustaDumbThriver (He who has the IQ of a half-eaten Wendy's Baconator(tm))]

I forgor
Yeah should’ve done research… But if it had tusks I wouldn’t be near it.

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

It’s not half as bad as a walrus I suppose…

[JustaDumbThriver (He who has the IQ of a half-eaten Wendy's Baconator(tm))]

Still wouldn’t want a sharp tusk deep in my leg though.

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

Eh, these critters are dumber than a literal fruitfly.
