This does mean that if anyone manages to have still compatible fossils or saves for the game with the content in it, they will explode

That does not sound good.

I mean removing protoplasm fully had to be done at some point

I was referring to the exploding part.

We already went through one full save compatibility reset sometime ago, we can do it again

Iโ€™m not sure where to put this so Iโ€™m going to ask this here: Iโ€™m not too sure if anyone else has had this experience, but for me certain eras in earthโ€™s history just have certainโ€ฆ vibes (I have no better way to put this). Like, when I think of the Cambrian I think of the Radiodonts, and when I think of the Carboniferous itโ€™s giant bugs, the Mesozoic has its own specific, unique vibe, so does the Pleistocene. So, what era of earthโ€™s history (if any)'s vibe do you like the most? For me itโ€™s the Cambrian because of the aforementioned Radiodonts, but also the Pleistocene/Holocene because Iโ€™m a big fan of marine mammals, particularly the semi-aquatic ones, and non-mammalian marine mammals just donโ€™t scratch the same part of my brain.

Also, a bit more related to Thrive: What vibe do you think would be most exciting for you, specifically, to capture in Thrive? For me, itโ€™s going to be making the crustacean-adjacent guys that encapsulate the Cambrian, and also sea lions (an animal I am fond of).

Edit: Also, the holocene EXCLUDING Anthropocene because I donโ€™t like the selective pressures from anthropogenic sources and environments and their hypothetical impacts on the species I am quite fond of.

Protoplasm was removed in 0.6.5, so the chance that anyone manages to load any content made in a Thrive version earlier than that in version 1.2 is so small that I now finally decided that it was safe to remove the protoplasm definition.

This is why I really liked the Walking With series, as all the associated media in the Walking With series explored pretty much all Periods of the Phanerozoic Eon, even though it did not explore the Ediacaran Period of the Proterozoic Eon.

It would be really difficult to pinpoint one based solely on vibes. Every Period of Earthโ€™s History with Macroscopic life has enigmatic lifeforms in it if one searches hard enough for them. The most peaceful would probably be the Ediacaran.

I think I like the most the stretch of carbon-permian due to all the competition between the major groups that took place back then.

It is crazy to think that today, we still have cnidarians, arthropods, mollusks, cephalopods, scorpions, bony fish, modern amphibians (not the original ones from the Devonian), psuedosuchians, avian dinosaurs, snakes, modern sharks, and mammals, including some from Pleistocene (like Saiga Antelope)!

Turns out you can live long with good embedding into a niche huh

Similar thing with land plants. Moss may have existed from the Cambrian. Liverworts since the Ordovician. Ferns are seen in the Devonian. Confers and Cycads (and possibly Horse tails) existed at least since the Carboniferous. Angiosperms were toward the end of the Jurassic.

I wonder if some even "better"plant clades wouldโ€™ve emerged with time or if the niches of the plants are already too saturated for thatโ€ฆ
