More evolution, more realism. At what point would it just become an… universe simulator?

[Rathalos]

@AnthropocenianAge

Was this related to changing of health to due to changing of membrane rigidity?

Nope, just a case of it starting counting from 1 instead of 0.

[aah31415 (A Supreme Electron in the making. 34.1%)]

I find it kind of surprising any player would’ve noticed that, did a dev find this?

[Rathalos]

Basically, CheviLevi is using AI to scan through parts of the code and find problems.

[aah31415 (A Supreme Electron in the making. 34.1%)]

I suppose that is a benefit of having that thing on the development side of things…

@aah31415

"Proposed design for non-cellular parts, including the decision to not pursue this right now.”

Shouldn’t non-cellular parts be absent from the 1st quote then?

Sad to see non-cellular parts will not worked on at. Was hoping that the Nematocyst would make into Multicellular.

We can’t have everything when the project’s budget is on the line yknow

While the nematocyst is not on the roadmap, it is also not an example of a non-cellular part.

[aah31415 (A Supreme Electron in the making. 34.1%)]

It does come somewhat close though, being in the territory of axon and actomyosin, that being organelles that pretty much go to more or less completely define a cell

[Rathalos]

It’s not really close to using any of the non-cellular mechanics though. The same goes for the axon and actomyosin, they have nothing to do with non-cellular parts at all.

[aah31415 (A Supreme Electron in the making. 34.1%)]

@Rathalos

any of the non-cellular mechanics though

…Of which I’m pretty sure we don’t have and likely won’t have any thereof. Unless someone undertakes the sisyphean task of unspaghettifying the microbe stages’ code for such a possibility to open in post-multicellular development

[Rathalos]

Progress Update 9/12/2026

[aah31415 (A Supreme Electron in the making. 34.1%)]

What in the world does “Seaeching” mean?

[Mr.Pukilar (The Leader of the Pukilars)]

or “now spans a mate even if it should be blocked by there being too much terrain.”

span has no business being there

[aah31415 (A Supreme Electron in the making. 34.1%)]

I am starting to feel like this next release might actually not jump over to 1.8…

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

Added HUD notices for when a mate is spawned by the Signalling Agent ability (if enabled in Difficulty settings) or if it’s not because it’s still on cooldown.

This should be a very helpful setting for gamete reproduction.

Added gamete type information to the mouse hover panel.

I presume Players will also be able to use this to identify gametes of other species?

You already can. All was added this week was the gamete type into the display, it already showed you which species a gamete was from.

[aah31415 (A Supreme Electron in the making. 34.1%)]

I presume hybridizing will only be a thing in macro+?

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

Clade diagrams will become even more crazy with hybridization.

[aah31415 (A Supreme Electron in the making. 34.1%)]

They could also require new programming for that which probably is easier said than done
