Quick Question Thread

Is the case different for injectosome?

A better question would be why a pilus would affect the rotation speed.
We have given up trying to have the physics engine calculate the rotation speed, so instead we just have a math formula that is given the list of organelles and it then figures out the rotation speed. Making that handle pili specially would require extra written code to be put into it. And that code doesn’t exist so the pili affect rotation exactly the same as any other organelle would.

And similar is the case with flagella I guess?

What are the plans for potential Thrive Merchandise?

I recall it was said that maybe shirts and mugs with some Thrive Conceptart could be sold in some sort of “Thrive Store”.

When do you predict such a thrive store would come to be?

honestly if we get a bit more brand recognition the next wave of streamers could be a great time to launch a small run of disturbance plushies or something (i would love one lol, i have too few plushies in my life)

Apparently we are in a dire need of replacing Disturbance.

Also, I just realized sometimes it can be difficult to read the small text next to when someone is replying, due to the small gray text sometimes being obfuscated by parts image in the background. Is it possible to change the color of the replying indication text to something like Chartreuse, or a color that people who aren’t colorblind can also see?

Not sure if that is possible. I can assume the problem isn’t too bad atleast.

You mean on the forums? Like modifying the CSS for the used theme?

It’s possible but despite me asking like many times over the years, it’s been like 5+ years since anyone besides me has changed anything related to the forums theme.

And what was that change over 5 years ago now?

If I remember right it was Oliver fixing up some theme related problems.

I can assume most people here are rather fine with the current theming of this website if there was no movement for changing stuff about it for a large majority of this forum’s history…

Why do cells that look like 90 degree angles in the editor look like triangles in the environment? If a species is shaped like an angle in the editor, shouldn’t that be the way it’s shaped in the overworld?

That’s because membrane logics wants there to be membrane in the space between any two cellparts. That’s also probably why flagella form these cones when stacked on eachother.

The membrane is always a convex shape and doesn’t support concave parts.
