The bigger and more complex the plant, the more light it needs. Simpler and smaller photosynthesizers could potentially get away with using moonlight. At least, that is the theory being researched currently.

I suppose the night side would pretty much always end up with a lower amount of biomass?

Unless it was an oxygenless iron rich planet, it would have to be. In a world without oxygen, I believe Iron Breathers could get fairly big and complex, and would not care about light. Too bad most iron breathing organisms are oxygen intolerant.

Could they still have some success if they did become oxygen tolerant?

Perhaps? I hope such a thing will be possible in Thrive.

I suppose that depends on how tolerances get handled in those stages

Theyβre less than 700 away now indeed. This could be a battle between those two for the 5th spotβ¦

You are still pretty close to the goalpost of 5K postsβ¦
Seems like forum users are finally discovering that the raw post format is actually markdown (with bbcode extensions).
# A title
is a standard way to make a section heading in markdown.
Iβm sure everyone would lose their mind if I linked the actual syntax for what all you can do in markdown.
