Maybe it was from the older versions then since I recall going too fast with the speed cheat used to crash sometimes, perhaps you just loaded too much stuff at once for that to occur?

22

Just look up and you’ll see what it’s about

23

Would it simulate the cladistics system on all levels, from domain to genus/species?

24

Alas, we do not have subspecies in the game.

We are supposed to get intraspecies variants at some point

I get from this that you’d like to see that ingame?

It is an important aspect of evolution.

Since it is an aspect related to speciation iirc?

Yes. I could be wrong, but I doubt Thrive could keep track of levels below Subspecies like Ecotypes or individual Mutants without causing huge increases in Auto-Evo time and performance.

So I presume subspecies/variants would be rather dumbed down as to not put too much strain on the evo system

32

Probably has to be the case. Plus, there is leeway in terms of how much differences there can be in a Subspecies, since it is not necessarily halfway to becoming another full blown Species. Could be more than 50%, or could be less than 50% in terms of differences. It would be up to the dev team to decide the subspecifics.

Maybe it could be that some % of a species would spawn with slightly different skin and such

34

Kind of like how Species: ALRE did it?

35

I suppose so, is is the way they did it? Since I never played it

36

I personally think it should go from domain down to spieces, but they could also add sun spieces. I don’t think this would require the auto evo sence the player would be desiding the names, colors, where it stars, etc.. there should also be subdomains, sun kingdoms, etc., but they could also player could skip these if needed.

Also what’s an eco type o and devs plz add this my tree is unreadable

Eco type is a thing below a subspecies even iirc

Also we can’t see the img of your tree?

I honestly don’t think we’ll be seeing much variation below the subspecies level, would overcomplicate stuff…

Agreed. Also my plan is k the PLAYER is the one classifying everything, no work for the auto evo, and the player can decide not to classify
