    there is an "upgraded" version of each of the protein parts, so its almost always better to use the "upgraded" versions. you couldve got the organelle version of the ammonia producing part, which costs the same mp but produces more and efficiently

      yeah, the organelles are generally more efficient than the proteins. however, there's no iron->atp organelle and organelles are big and require a nucleus, which makes your cell larger and thus slower and requiring more ammonia and phosphate to upgrade

    Love that Lath essentially ended up evolving into an early carnivorous plant. Once he got that poison, they started feeding on the other cells that started cropping up even though they couldn't engulf them. They basically adopted the tactic of IRL carnivorous plants where, even if they can't eat the meat like an animal, they break their prey down for nutrients to sustain themselves.

    One thing I'd wish they change is that they have Hydrogen Sulfide as a resource, instead of having Sulfate be the resource and H2S be the product of reducing it for energy
    Also, with thermosynthase being included, I wish they'd include more hypothetical biochemistry. Like, I've done a bunch of recent work on the plausibility of polypropylene cell walls in alien microorganisms, and I'd love to see something like that included.

      Hydrogen Sulfide can be oxidised for energy if you have the right oxidiser (for example... oxygen). What you are talking about is using Sulfate as an oxidiser, which is also possible, but requires some other energy source along with it, like organic compounds, Hydrogen or iron.

    ah, thrive, I've had it downloaded for a long time, but I haven't played it... not yet anyway. I do hope that this video will make me play it

    This makes me so happy to discover. I really wanted to make a game like this 13 years ago but I was still new to coding and no fucking clue how I'd handle it. Spore wasn't realistic enough for me, who was getting interested in microbiology.

    Spore's best stage is definitely cell stage, but if they succeed at making the creature stage of this game balanced and realistic, it will almost definitely be the best stage of THIS game.
    And the great thing about Thrive is that unlike Spore, each section of the game is not intended to be a sort of mini-game, but rather an ENTIRE, proper game. You can choose to stay in one stage forever as the world changes and progresses, and I find that really cool.
    You can already tell they'll stay true to this goal because the cell stage is so clearly fleshed out and designed perfectly to keep going on and not ending until you go extinct.

    Oh Thrive is still in production? That's great to hear! We really needed a true "spore"

    41:10 Something similar happened on my first game. Not because I didn't know how they worked (same basic idea to Spore cells and real ones), but because I accidentally put in the bit part you can't delete BEHIND them...and didn't think of trying the "undo" button.

    Imagine if this cell is what the Cash Cactus Combine came from.

    This game seems like the cell stage done much better.
