Once again it is time for the usual thread for asking your pre-stream questions to be answered during the livestream (maximum of 2 questions per person, please). Weโll answer as many questions as we have time for during the stream while also taking questions from the live chat (and answering the priority questions first). There is a limit per person to ensure that everyone will get their questions answered in case many people are interested in asking questions. We do occasionally get a lot of questions asked. VIP patrons can ask more questions in this thread.
Watch the stream here:
Note: unusually the stream is on a Sunday this time.

1: How long do you feel macroscopic development will take? Last time I have heard it would be around 3 years.
2: What do you plan to take on first during macroscopic development?
I wonder why thereโs a big skip from 1.1 to 1.6, whereโs 1.2, 1.3, 1.4, 1.5? Did they get skipped because the features were too overwhelming so you just skipped them? XD ok, enough of a joke question, Iโll ask some serious questions.
If there is any appropriate answer to this - now that the soundtrack as a whole (or at least just the ones currently composed right now): how did you come up with the composition and theme of each music piece of Thrive for the multicellular stage? What instruments, samples, and such were used to make them?
The elephant in the room: Are there any updates towards the procedural planet generator that was being shown at least a year or so ago? With macroscopic stage coming up soon and that weโll soon be out of just cells and into possibly proper terrain, I wonder how much that will be implemented?
Do you think there will be any weird interactions with AI behavior in regards to handling organisms with toxins, since toxins are now ignored when a cell is being digested?
Will moon light (sunlight reflected by a moon), moon phases, and moon visibility eventually affect the night time in the surface biome patches of Microbe, Multicellular, and Macroscopic?
Less pronounced question maybe, as poodelicus has replied that there is already discussion on that any thoughts, even if small (might not be highly relevant right now) about diets and that sort of stuff, like getting proper nutrition levels in macroscopic or something?
what are some mistakes/pitfalls new members of the thrive development team do, and how common/quickly do new members become inactive (if they do anything at all)?
(wrote these down three months ago, apologies if these are repeats from other times or detached)
How much in the society and industrial stages will the civilian population of your societyโs perception of things matter? (I know this depends on the species, society, government, culture, etc. but like how much will it matter.)
What is the smallest possible land area a society would be able to have in the society and industrial stages?

Looking ahead, what do you expect for the project in the near future?
Which of your past actions were positive, and which turned out to be unsatisfactory in the longer term?
Upd. Iโve finally just bought Thrive on Steam, along with the soundtrack. Iโve also been thinking about taking out a Patreon VIP subscription, but my scholarship isnโt quite enough to cover it.
