Survival in Jupiter's Atmoshpere

[JustaDumbThriver (Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)]

Yeah… But this time, I’ll (hopefully) make it last a bit.

Alright!

Formica jovis primigenus

Cyto at 0,0, 0,1, -1,0, 1,0, Hydrogenoplast at 0,-1

Metis condulus

Metabolosomes at 1,0, cyto at 0,0, magneto at -1,0, dark color

Nubes cellula

Same as metis condulus, but with the default color

Jovium aurora

Magneto at 0,1, metabolosome at 0,0, Dawn gave no name so I used jovium aurora for “jovian dawn”

It appears we can start, so let’s do it!

We now have 100 new EP to spend on our species, right?

[CatSquared]

Hydrogenoplast At 0,1
Hydrogenoplast At 0, 2
Also, The creature list doesn’t show my three extra Cytoplasm I mutated last round, only the one I started with?

[Dawn (she/her or you will be known only in history books)]

how much cytoplasm can 1 metabolosome upkeep, and how many cilliate wings can it power?

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

I think it’s the same as DSL but nonquantum.

[Dawn (she/her or you will be known only in history books)]

another magnetosynthesizer at 0,-1 and another metabolosome at 0,-2, putting me at 10 energy and 4 osmoregulation

also a suggestion i have for changing the name of the heliumoplast is helioplast, since helium is derived from helius, which is a latinization of helios, who is the ancient greek sun god

how much glucose does the metabolosome use per second?

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

In DSL it says:

“Materiosynthesizers
Like Cytoplasm, but better at converting. +5 energy production, -1 Q/s, 50 EP.
Gluonosynthesizers
Converts gluons into yummy quarks! +2 Osmoregulation, +1 Q/s, 50 EP.”

(Materio is metab, gluono is magneto)

Odd question:
You can get 5 cytoplasm for 100mp, producing 5 energy at no cost.
You can get a metablosome for 50mp, producing 5 energy, but It needs A quark. You can either use a Magnetosynthesizer, costing 50mp and using 2 energy (osmoregulation), or two Heliumoplasts, costing 100mp, and also taking 2 energy (osmoregulation). Either way, you only gain three energy for 100/150mp, but three energy from cytoplasm costs 60 MP. Then what is the purpose of Metablosomes, if cytoplasm produces more energy for less MP.

Tldr: Metablosomes are not useful, and neither are Magnetosynthesizers and Heliumoplasts, as they only fuel Metablosomes. You could probably balance it by giving cytoplasms either a 0.25 a small quark cost and buffing Magnetosynthesizers/Heliumoplasts/Metablosomes

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

Yeah, cytoplasm needs a cost for the energy it’s producing atleast.

[CatSquared]

You could argue you’re gathering glucose, but then Metablosomes should use less glucose, or the glucose sources should cost less energy. Or you could give cytoplasm a small Quark cost, and have the creatures find an amount of glucose each round to allow the starting single cytoplasm to survive.

Anyways I’m evolving metab at 1,1 and a magneto at -1, 1

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

I will evolve a Metabolosome at 0,-1, and a Magnetosynthesizer at 0,1. I think I am still symmetrical?

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

There used to be “cell previews” in DSL, but JaDT seems to have abandoned that…

[JustaDumbThriver (Thrive is the only environment where I am not too lazy to capitalize)]

Hmm. Let’s do a poll.

Should there be a cell preview?

• Yes, I wanna see my beautiful creation!
• No, too many images will shut down the forums.

It’s anonymous, by the way.

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

How about after the end of every round (every four generations)?

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

You should consider removing non-latest species images, as that method will reduce the ammount of forum space taken over the duration of the FG.

Nobody has replied to this? I really expected some replies to this over my vacation… Oh well.

4 people submitted their votes now, who’s left?
