Quick Question Thread

I would say auto-evo triggers one species saying “I am becoming multicellular” but then instead of that happening immediately, it is delayed for several turns.

And when it does happen only then it gameovers the player.

Would hard still have some turns left before this happens or would it happen immediately?

And of course on easy difficulty we should totally disable the AI overtaking the player to reduce the difficulty.

Hopefully, one more good reason to play Easy Difficulty.

Aren’t you supposed to move on to normal at some point?

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

I wonder if there will eventually be a feature of being able to change difficulty after starting a playthrough?

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I think that would require some serious coding effort for all the variables to change mid-game

If this were to be implemented it would be funny if the species went extinct before actually getting multicellular.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Maybe it’d be given a miche to exactly not go extinct like what happens with endosymbiosis subjects

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

So a Multicellular miche in Microbe?

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I suppose that’s how it could be called

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

Will symmetry still be changeable in the Multicellular, or will it be locked based on the symmetry chosen in Microbe?

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

I think you can already choose/change your symmetry there in a way?

There’s currently no set plan to lock symmetry at all. I’ve only made some suggestions in that direction.

But if there were to be one, microbe symmetry would not affect Multicellular symmetry, I see no biological reason to do so. Symmetry selection (if it’s a thing) in Multicellular could affect it in Macroscopic.

This would probably be a nightmare to implement if I understand it correctly
Would it check of cell layouts that make the macroscopic creature radial, bilateral or asymetric?

How long will OpenGL Mode be supported by the devs?

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Probably as long as there are users (that we know of) with devices which cannot support vulcan

Or a bit longer if we account for those who do not interact with us

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

I don’t know if I will be able to get a computer with a dedicated graphics card, so that is why I am asking.

I am trying to remember, a dedicated graphics card is not essential to play Thrive, right?

[hhyyrylainen]

As long as the Godot Engine supports it (and doesn’t require unreasonable effort from us to keep it working).

[Deathwake (i nuked zenzone and will never let him forget it)]

modern integrated graphics cards all support vulkan. If you’re buying anything from the last 5 years you’re more than good.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

How much longer do you bet will opengl be supported?
