We appreciate the concern, but donโt stress out; Thim is comfortable with that title. In more formal settings, we also refer to him as the author of the lawn paradox.

I wonder what will come of this โloading screen storyโโฆ

Speaking of which: Whatโs this:
- An effort to increase auto-evo diversity from developer Thim, the man who yells at grass!
Actually about? I havenโt seen it mentioned anywhere, so I guess itโs only been discussed in private channels?
Iโve been looking into learning the Thrive modding system myself to try to add in some miches myself, so I am interested.

Well itโs still good the talks of auto-evo improvement were mentioned in the PU. If there is one field of the game that could pretty much always use improvement, thatโs autoevo.

Here is the pull request with the description of changes. I donโt have the knowledge to fully describe it, but do let me know if you have further questions and I might be able to find other resources.

I wonder what else is going to be achieved in this last week of volunteer-only developmentโฆ Hopefully 0.8.3 will still end up being a patch of respectable quality/size.

Ah, I see now, thanks! Definitely something different than I had in mind, but also a good change I think.

Pretty sure Iโve come across the issue of the report many times now - species thrive in their miches even if they are barely suited for them and have just one plast specialized to those niches.

Isnโt 0.8.3.0 technically a minor update according the release numbering rules?
I am not 100% sure, but I think the Pull Request changes will favor organisms in niches with more organelles, and thus more energy efficiency, toward a particular niche. Like an organism with two Rusticyanins will be favored over an organism with one Rusticyanin for Large Iron Chunks, e.t.c.

Well honestly pretty sure to this point there werenโt many differences between โminor updatesโ and โmajor updatesโ since 0.5.0, as far as I can tell 0.6.0, 0.7.0 and 0.8.0 were rather similar in size to other minor updates released around the same time.

I wonder what else will be added in 0.8.3.0 before it releases in mid-August? Also, for clarification, is domink2ktrโs Photosynthesis patch still being tested?

Itโs not in the closed features for 0.8.3 so it must still be in the review processโฆ

I believe their plan is to figure out other balance issues first and circle back to photosynthesis when how it fits into the bigger picture is better understood.

Especially as photosynthesis has already been balanced many times in the past so I can imagine the devsโd want this matter to be settled once and for all.

If hexaquill eventually gets some โfriendsโ, would they also get their LS stories?

I wonder when will come the day the multicellular layout inconsistency error gets fixedโฆ

That might be next week actually:
Remembering the exact layout is part of that PR.

If this does get implemented, that would boost the playability of late multicellular stage much, which is the section most affected by the bug.
