By the gameโs end at latest probably
Me.
Well itโs not always typing, once I quoted everyoneโs posts in Darkrest and it got to about 90k
also
Is there enough time for me to develop infared?
Idk I developed better vision in 1 round so it should be doable in a small about of time
Do Conodonts already have a cartilaginous skeleton?
I think so? Iโve read their bodies besides their teeth and stuff didnโt fossilize so Iโd assume so
One paper seems to suggest it.
https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1502-3931.1998.tb00509.x
Indirect evidence suggests a differentiated brain and cartilaginous head skeleton.
There have been incidents with full fossilized Conodonts, but only 3 iirc, outlining muscle shapes.
They seem to be adept cruisers but have poor burst speeds, surprisingly short lives at only a month long, and it seems that most were most likely hunters rather than suspension feeders, though some Devonian species are hypothesized to have done so anyway.
There teeth are really interesting as well
But anyway, Wikipedia says there is some evidence relating to Cartiliginous skeletons, specifically comparing them to modern jawless fish, but I canโt find much more than that
Living just a month is rare even by modern vertebrate standards
M: Offspring classes, one more fertile than the other. So two classes.
Oh yeah itโs coming together
M1: Delevope a Culm like strucer to support fasting growth
M2: Develope a Stolon like Scratcher with a symbiot for better communicat with other plants and growth stems
Are you going to stay with fern like designs or eventually move on to those seen in โsuperiorโ plants?
@Cha @Ill_try_at_least we need your votes
Mutation Uno: Improvement at being a sponge for water rentention into the ground and itself keeping soil moist and a preferable condition for itself.
Mutation Dos: Improvement at nutrient gathering for the Gameophytes from the ocean.
Oh now I just realized there are no sponges in this world, or corals for that matter. Probably means weโll have much less diversity in sealife
I wonder what will replace corals in their niche?
M: Begin to develop infared
Not sure, nothing seems to have the traits needed to become like them
I wonder how many more FG Rounds we will have by New Yearโs time?
Eh probably 2, maybe 3
Depends on if split evolution lines occur. I see three distinct possibilities tbh
First, a pseudo-multicellular or true multicellular archaea develops some form of oxygen tolerance and forms incredibly deep sea reefs
Second, if split evolutions possible, a Lingula branch becomes a coral analogue, maybe even an entire colony, like a reef that can move to a new location if threatened/if conditions arenโt ideal
Third, a plankton evolution. While possible without split lineages, that would leave the huge niche of plankton wide open, which I donโt think is the right move. However the plankton listed at the start of the game already have hard structures they could adapt to interlock to form an analogous coral.
