Maybe, idk how much 500k years is to grow.
You definitely exceed the size limit by now
Ahh, in that case I’ll still make myself a little bigger, so that I can reach enough size to eat ANYTHING(that’s part of my diet)
Edit your turn post then
Next turn! (trust me fr fr)
Mutations: Better brain, notochord-like structure
Both: Extra Salt Tolerance
Is this supposed to be the archae?
Mutation uno: Tolerance towards more salty conditions.
Mutation dos: Sporophyte part of the life cycle (meaning the gamophytes is the aquatic ones) anchoring on Mangroves becoming an Epiphyte to get their sun better than being choked on the ground.
Joe Swanson: BRING IT ON!
(though funny enough both ferns and moss already tolerate rather acidic soils with moss living around conifers)
The plant armsrace is getting a bit heated…
I guess things can only get hotter from here:
- Geophyte development on some of the roots
- Chemical communication between units similar to our log trees.
I don’t think these mutations directly compete with the mosses
Let’s see how fast this FG devolves into a race between players…
I think it might have already somewhat turned into that, just that for now it’s pretty mild

Minimal changes to the biosphere have been detected, swimming gastropods have made an evolution in the open ocean however their addition to the aquatic biosphere has been minimal and discreet thus far. Some competition between the last remaining plantlife has been noted but nothing too significant. The extreme success of ferns and oceanic moss is likely to change a couple of biomes.
What should we do for round 10?
What kinds and levels of resistances does one need to start eating ferns with their new defences?
I’ll do some more camouflage
Maybe a very big event?
also is there any way for me to turn a post into a reply after i post it?
M1+2:(Whatever is left there for me to be able to eat ferns again, if one mutations is left remaining move back into the mangroves)
M: Better salt digestion. See, I promised that!
