This is more of community question then a dev question, but devs can ask this. But what part of aware stage are you most intrested in? Anything from creature creation to a water to land tranistion?
Who writes the thrive website update posts?
By the way I just got a new profile picture based on the everywhere at the end of time stage 2 cover
Whatās the baseline skill for a programmer joining the team? Iām good with C/C++ (making a 3D renderer with them right now), but apart from a small Terraria mod, I donāt have any C# experience. Would that be enough to join as a programmer or would I need to get better with C# first?
Usually @Buckly but sometimes someone else needs to take over, itās usually me but sometimes also someone else will write the post and Iāll just handle putting it up on the website.
If you know one object oriented language with C-style syntax, you almost know all of them. If you are already skilled in programming, picking up C# shouldnāt take more than a couple of weekends.
I think the only really good way to check if you have the skills is to pick an easy task (or good first issue) to work on: GitHub Ā· Where software is built
And just trying to work through one by Googling whatever you donāt know yet (after following our setup instructions as those have a ton of info on how to get Thrive compiling on your system).

How is the convolution surfaces in the macroscopic editor going? Iāve read that you were working on it with Nunz way back in december.
Thereās been no progress on it since. At least Nunz hasnāt mentioned anything about working on it even on the dev discord, I think they might be busy with other stuff at the moment and canāt focus on Thrive development.
does the amount of cilia on a cell change the pull range
It only changes the direction and force
If your cell is very large, the pull from cilia on one side wonāt reach the other. So for maximum range you can add cilia on all sides of the cell.
When big rusticyanin?
when endosymbiosis gets added
Will there be references to other evolution games like elysian eclipse or adapt?
Edit: from what Iāve heard in the thrivestream. Thereāll actually be more progress on the multicell prototypes in the game? Atleast thatās how I interprented it.
cilia vs flagellum
what is the difference in game
Also is thrive available on mac now? There was a challenge going around, and has that been fulfilled?

cillia improve turning speed and can suck stuff in now with an upgrade
flagellum improve movement speed
How will leader system work in the society - space stage work? EU4, hoi4, hoi4 dual leader system like the dh4 mod? It would be intresting for a dual leader system one primary other mostly primary ministers later on if you are not in a feudal system.

hello! Iām new here. I have a question:
the report screen said several generations ago (I am now on 1,500 Myr) that my species went extinct on the planet
the auto-evo pop-up seems to reaffirm this, with the āTotal Populationā constantly saying 0 for 3-4 generations now
yet I can keep playing? I have for several generations now. my population is locked at 50, but I can continue playing as my species
Iām a bit confused. am I extinct? if so, why am I able to continue playing as the same species. if Iām not extinct, why does it say I am and why wonāt my population change?
thank you!!! love this game so far

your species is not viable for how itās ai is programmed. you can fix that by changing itās organelle ratios, membrane, or behavior. the reason it is staying above 0 is because you are staying alive long enough to hit the mitosis button
ooh okay, that makes a ton of sense. it did say the ATP production was in the negative, but I just kept surviving (although, not thriving) so I didnāt question it. thank you!!!
yeah you need to have at least 90% of your ATP usage neutralized by ATP production or have your species move as little as a rock.
Can an organelle that is longer than cilia and shorter than a flagellum exist?
