Cycad bros we’re so back

Which plants specifically can be chosen?

[Animalia (Matti)]

The ones listed on the surviving genus list

[Cha (Waluigi)]

I will go with Ferns then (hence I said cycad bros we’re so back)

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

Oh right ferns/mosses. Didn’t really notice these since they didn’t have an image attached…

[Animalia (Matti)]

I’m sure everyone knew what those looked like so I didn’t bother with images

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

Speaking of are those the giant ferns still or more regular ones?

[Animalia (Matti)]

Regular ones. I would assume their seeds would survive better than the big ones.

We have to modify an existing species, right?

[Animalia (Matti)]

Well after the mass extinction event of pretty much everything but a couple of bugs, weird plants, plankton, deep sea microbes and small fish with weird mouths I’m sure there’s going to be tons of niches.

We have to modify an existing species, right?

In this FG you’re managing a genus, so there’ll be multiple species under your belt for you to manage and evolve so sure. Although for the sake of simplicity they’re all represented with the same FA/POP stats.

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

I don’t think it would make sense to play a species that is already no more.

[Animalia (Matti)]

@doomlightning

I think I will claims the Genus Arthropitys bistriata from the Polypodiopsida class

You can only take a genus from the surviving genus list.

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

We don’t have to modify it right now? Good to know.

[Animalia (Matti)]

No you don’t have to modify your genus if you don’t want to. I doubt say, springtails would need too much modifying for the first couple rounds. Not until the island disasters, at least.

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

What impacts the rate at which bio-points are gained? Is it just the amount of population you have at a time?

[Animalia (Matti)]

Biopoints are gained by you just not going extinct (as a genus) each round. Although I will add your end population to the end score. So a genus with a population of 2 that lasted for all 30 rounds will lose to a genus with a population of 10 that lasted for all 30 rounds.

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

Do we get more biopoints if we made minimal changes or does this not affect the gain?

@Animalia

You can only take a genus from the surviving genus list.

@doomlightning

Polypodiopsida class

Fern

hmmm…

[Animalia (Matti)]

sigh that was dumb of me to say.

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

So if you’ve taken this specific genus is then cha locked out of the option of getting ferns?
