ROUND 8

You’ve wasted no time in upgrading yourself with your new permissions, and your tools are now rapidly becoming the bleeding edge of humanity’s technological might.

As you continue with your mission on Earth with your new equipment, your mind wanders off during downtime as printers churn away at the new schematics you’ve given them, and you begin staring out of a camera into the depths of space, even after all this time, the planetary nebula left behind by a red giant Sol still adds a light tint to the blackness of interstellar space; however, when directly looking at the areas of the sky where the other planets should be, your mind feels fogged, and while a white dwarf’s low luminosity should be the culprit of their dissapearance from the skies, a quick peek at your orbital tracking subprocess only reveals Sol and Earth, not even gravity well readings reveal anything else; and if you force input the expected orbital distances on your sensors, they once again feel clouded, as if something is preventing you from seeing any other celestial bodies.

New data (setting updates)

I should have specified further, my plan was for people to choose between “species actions” and “AI actions” per turn , in order to add a strategy element to the game, I’m going to count everything you inputted this round anyway, but I’ll have to work a system to display AI actions within the round “briefings” from now on

Biome database

Sea surface: where this whole experiment began, this biome is has a relatively low salinity compared to the rest of the sea, it also gets somewhat illuminated at noon

Mediopelagic: the collective term that defines most of Earth’s new seas, stretches from the depth at which the sun’s light can no longer reach further nearly to the sea floor

Sedimentopelagic: a brine pool even by this world’s standards, not the true sea floor as salt becomes the main component instead of water before you can reach actual rock; however if you can surive most of the sea’s salt, you’ll be rewarded with most of every other non-organic compound the sea has accumulated

so that means that for instance I have a passive “AI Action” or what?

yes

that thing taste purple

no, from next round onwards, I’ll try to organize rounds in a way that info is more cleanly displayed, and AI actions and their consequences will have their own tab separate from species; that’s why the result of your current AI action won’t show up

So if I’d make an ai action on having more ai actions then would I be able to cast an ai action and species action for the same round?

in order to preseve the strategy element, I think it’s better to choose between species actions, however many you can have; or AI actions, however many you might have

…so I can choose between casting an x number of ai actions and an y number of species actions, right?

just to make sure, when that happens i’ll be getting two nucleoids, a membrane layer removed from the membrane slot, and 4-8 unspecialized organelles?
