Rename the “Macroscopic” Stage!

I honestly think “Macroscopic” is going to stay, albeit if there is a good word for describing creatures which have developed primitive neural networks, with a miracle it could usurp the current favourite.

Funnily enough I also had an idea of having the multicellular stage changed due to the differences between it’s two halves around 2.5 years ago now.

Problem with macroscopic multiccelular stage
If you look at it, the largest thing that separates late multicell from aware is development of brains and behaviours. Meanwhile, early and late multicellular have a lot less in common:
-early multicell is 2d and late is 3d
-in early multicell you modify your cells and in late multicell, tissues (and macroscopic also has metaballs that feel rather different from 2D cells)
-The “Become macroscopic” button also makes the two parts of multicell more separated
-Multicellular stage in it’s current state contains too different groups of organisms, that could range from simple 2-celled organisms to complex starfish-like ones.
Now, we have 4 options:
a) Make stages remain in same state as before
b)Turn Macroscopic multicellular substage into it’s own stage, making Thrive have 8 stages. This new stage could be called as “Unaware” or “Macroscopic”
c)Macroscopic Multicell and Aware stages would merge, leaving early multicell as it’s own multicellular stage and turning aware and late multicell into single “macroscopic” stage
d)Merge current multicell stage with aware stage, making Thrive have 6 stages. The new merged stage would remain as the “Multicellular stage”.
