Something like reducing microbe mutation speed has to happen later, but it is way too early to speculate anything concrete.

I mean, weβre approaching the multicellular development phase rather rapidly. 1.0.0 is only months away at this point. At some point before it releases, this should be tackled.

I think of it a different way: 1.0.0 is a point where multicellular stage just begins to be developed. Until then itβs best (to my feelings) to focus on microbe stage, like, completely to deliver as best product as possible by the βfinishβ (itβs not like microbe stage will be left as is forever after that) line, and only then think of multicellular stuff for that is the place for it.
That, of course, doesnβt mean noone can design how it should work, if there arenβt any top priority game design dillemas. Someone may implement this on their own but I doubt that hh would do it considering current situation and even if another volunteer would send a code, it would be needed to be reviewed, again, probably by hh which wouldnβt help with time we have 'till 1.0.0

Still theory usually has to be created much time before the actual development starts. We probably wouldnβt want to enter multicellular with the programmers left to navigate whatβs in need of being added on their own.

How many 0.9 releases are planned to be needed before 1.0.0.0 releases?

That depends on when will the planet generator be completed. If it isnβt finished for too long, there might not even be a 0.9.X era.
When will cheats be enabled/accessible for later game stages?

When the development reaches these stages.

When is it planned for Plate Tectonics to be added to the game?

Presumable when we move on to macroscopic. Or maybe earlier if thereβs time for that.

I would think either late Macroscopic or early Aware. It makes little sense in Multicellular, and the Macroscopic Editor will likely take priority over other aspects of Macroscopic.

Since macro and aware are close together I think we could see plates being tackled once the easiest-to-implement aspects have already beem programmed in.

Will co-orbital planets/binaries be possible in Planet/Solar System generation? Horseshoe orbits are fascinating!

Iβve heard such systems arenβt likely to last longβ¦

Surely binary planets/very large moons (>1% Parent Body Mass) will be included eventually, due to existing in real life?

Isnβt The Moon an example of this?

By Binary planetβs Iβd think systems where the βmoonβ is at least 10% of the mass of the βparentβ object. And we donβt have examples of that larger than dwarf planets.

What about Kepler-1625b I? A possible Mini-Neptune (gas planet) moon around a Gas Giant planet.

Not sure the minineptune is large/massive enough there to count the system as a binaryβ¦
