THE NEW Miscellaneous Talk That Doesn't Deserve A New Thread Thread Thread (Part 2)

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

New research finds that Termitomyces farming termites have various behaviors to keep other unwanted fungi from ruining their fungus crops, which depends on the anti-fungal activity of soil microbes.

I suppose it’s easier to keep pests away when the farm is hidden from the external environmental forces…

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

I wonder if this feature of anti-fungal soil would be put into the game?

Also, it sounds kind of hilarious. Don’t like something ruining your crops? Just bury it.

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

Well… as long as those crops don’t need light that is.

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

Would this also work for plant-like crops that have lost the ability to do photosynthesis (No Chloroplasts)?

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

Of course, as long as they can survive in the mound.

Despite basically everything being suggested for Thrive, I don’t think this is actually one of the suggestions.

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

I recall some kind of a dev forum post but maybe I’m just misremembering stuff.

If anything it was about Steam Trading Cards, which we can add at any point as long as someone draws the art for the 10 (or however many different card types is needed at a minimum). And so far no one has drawn those.

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

Yeah, that was probably it. An actual physical Thrive-inspired game will have to wait…

I wonder what happened to the poor creature of Oncpapa’s pfp…

[Oncpapa]

I have joined the skeleton army for october. I am a few days early because I am too busy early october to use my PC (skeleton war)

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

I see. Guess the spooky season has officially begun in the forum then…

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

I wonder what the Disturbance and Hexapod skeletons would look like?

There should be one about the Banana biome bug and one for the Discoball glitch.

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

How about one on Breakfast cells?

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

I suppose there should be one for Hexaquill since it’s THE mascot for now.

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

Does the Hexaquill have an internal skeleton?

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

I think it does since it’s supposed to be an apex predator with some kind of a beak structure.

[Poodelicus (Crazy, Curious, and Stubborn)]

Wasn’t the first apex predator an Arthropod? Also, don’t cephalopods have beaks? How do either of those mean internal skeleton?
