Everyone here likes thrive. Everyone here has played the game. After a certain point, which may not be applicable for everyone, a specific build/playstyle emerges to be favored among others. Some people main as a sessile Photosynthetic organism. Others like being a Predatory cell. Or even a Predatory Photosynthetic organism. So what is your preferred play-style/build in Thrive? This does not have to be set in stone; it can change as the game updates.
I generally use heterothropic mobile builds currently since a few releases. Seems like the main path most fresh eyes would take in the game…
For me, it depends, but I really like being a Eukaryotic Photosynthetic organism. It is just so calming. Also, it is kind of hilarious to see other organisms just go “Nope” at seeing a huge cell. Interestingly enough, since I like using Chitin the most, I am basically playing as a Photosynthetic Fungi. Sometimes, I add the Slime Jet to make things more interesting. And with the most recent update, I like using the Bioluminescent vacuole with this build.
How useful is the bioluminescent vacuole when compared to a regular vacuole?
The Regular Vacuole is definitely better, as it gives more storage options, but I just like the Bioluminescent Vacuole since it makes my part of my cell glow.
Being meant for visual factor means the luminescent vacuole is certainly not the best in regards to non-visual factors. But perhaps one day it will find use in communicating with macroscopic members of your species…
I am usually a large photosynthetic iron eater.
Large predatory iron eater with toxins, spikes, and slime jets, but I always end up wiping everyone out except my sister species
I also used to take ironeater nearly every time before giving the heterotrophic lifestyle a try.
