Actually, I think I’ll be actually responsible for my own FG today. Newick files are easy to work with when you get the hang of 'em.

I recall I tried using some sort of a program to make phylo trees a long time ago but I ended up giving up and switched to making phylo trees “by hand” instead.

I use SeaView, but it is terrible at representing three or more species in the same genus without saying two of them are more related to eachother than other species in the same genus, like they are part of a subgenus or something. Good at everything else, though.

Will you use this for the pikmin stuff later on too?

In fact, I already am using it for Dandori! That’s the instance where SeaView made up subgenuses, making me use an online newick viewer.

There are only 3 player species so far. How many did you take into account?

All 3. I will make AI species at round 6, then more in following rounds.

How will pikmin-pikmin competition work like?

I will give pikmin a fitness stat, and make the species with less fitness decrease in population rpoportional to how much less fitness they have than other pikmin.

At what population will we start?
JustaDumbThriver
(Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)
71
Around 100000. In Dandori, 30 million, because onions make a LOT of pikmin.

Will pikmin always compete with eachother no matter what niches they occupy?

73
No, there will be different niches.

Ok.
Back to this FG, are our rotifers adapted for freshwater?

Actually, they were freshwater rotifers put in a river!

Good, so that means we don’t need to adapt to low salinity conditions then.

But you have to adapt to the high salinity conditions…

Can’t we stay in the rivers?

Well, prey might benefit from being not in the river with predatores, but in the open ocean. So there is a reason to evolve for oceans.
Edit: I am industrial now, yay!
