I will do that next round probably

Mutation uno: Roots locking together with other free floating Moss in water that is not a copy of itself to increase biodiverstiy by allowing spores to be fertilised by another moss.
Mutation dos: Sporelings being made lighter for air travel and if they happen to land on plankton mat that they do not break up the surface that they will grow on till they can sustain their own weight.

Shouldnβt moss float on water by itself?

When it goes from a spore to an actual moss yeah.

But spores sink in the water?

Believe so that or they drown (by just being overfilled by water) Itβs why Java moss split in water rather than spore

I suppose it would be of great use if you could prevent spores from being capable of being overfilled with the vital liquid then. This would certainly reduce your dependence on the plankton.

Yeah, though it requires a change to the spore itself in the end for it to not take up water while it develops into moss properly.

Perhaps you can still somehow figure it out before bad stuff happensβ¦

So in two rounds, we can change our species names, right? I wonder what names will be chosen?

Where was it written we can change our species name?

In post 245 by Animalia.

I feel like this should have been stated in the rules at the FGβs birthβ¦

Yeah I wasnβt originally planning on it but I realized that the names of the species not changing after a bit was kind of dumb

Is the timestep for a new species name supposed to me 3 million years in this FG?

I wonder what sapient creatures of the future will think about our organisms?

They would need to find their fossils first, probably hidden quite the deep beneath the surface of the waters for the marine ones.

Minor changes to the atmosphere have been detected, the basal ecosystems of the mangroves are slowly being colonized yet without any true plant-eating animals within the biomes their growth is not stifled. Conodonts moved into the mangroves yet without any plankton within they will likely starve out or specialize in something else, some animals are getting much larger (relatively) yet none are reaching the mass of pre-deluge clades as of right now. Roaches have exceeded the mass for 2MPβ¦
Thisβll be a good time to get biggerβ¦
