    The root over hall got me thinking about the plant system. IRL there are plants with roots that don't attack themselves to soil, and just float in the water. I think it would be cool to have some duckweed like plants covering the water surface.

    Boom! Back At it! 🤓 I wish I could do This for a living! One thing I notice about your plants is that they end up very 'Stem-ey'. Seeing the process, I think I can twig why. 😁 The key is in How plants (on Earth) grow. The fundamental form of a plant is the LEAF. Or, the squishy New Green bit that transpires oxygen and co2, and turns light into energy. Just a 'leaf' is Algae. 'Leaf' and 'connecting tissue' (root) build ocean mats and seaweeds. On Land, One 'Leaf' and One 'Connecting Tissue' is Grass which can also create 'mats' of many 'leaves' alone, sharing 'connecting tissue'. Upon 'fulfillment' 'leaves' can either begin a build task at a node, or move the 'node' outward by hardening the first 'leaf' into 'stem', and sprouting a New 'Leaf' at its end.. 'Stem' material is therefore created From a 'Leaf' structure having been there First. What is more, any Future growth necessarily originates from a node where a leaf once was, and extension of node locations is accomplished by the Forward Motion of a 'leaf component' Alone. By thinking in Stems, you’ve kinda done it in reverse. The Leaf is the foundation of the thing. Of Course, I can Also Dig how leaves would kinda Melt even the best processors… 🤷‍♂😁👍

  • @jclark2752
    @jclark2752 8 дней назад

    Backseat Peanut Gallery again… The one piece I see, or rather Don’t see here, is the Tail. The primary use of the tail is to provide Stability and Control… particularly in the Turning, or side-to-side motion… Both to respond Quickly and Effectively when Wanted, and to control any Drift caused by the Instability of lacking one. (Bats use their hind feet to contort the trailing edge) (pterosaurs used their crested heads, the big weirdos) I would be tempted to introduce a certain inherent unpredictable instability to 'Flight' as a rule, whose effects are decreased by better and better tails. What is more, the quality of a tail could determine the Turning Radius and responsiveness of changes in direction. Thus, gliding and simple flight would allow for mobility, but tail development would give control over Destination, and Advanced Tails would allow for the sorts of 'dogfights' that allow for predators… Bigger wings - further glide, more efficient, slower to start Smaller wings - faster, uses more energy, quick responsiveness NO tail - slowly slips sideways to the ground, No control after takeoff Simple tail - steering to determine path, pick landing spot Advanced tail - agility to pursue other animals in flight, eat while still flying

  • @jclark2752

    Years later… 🙄 It would seem the Size to heat variable would be Best calculated as a ratio of volume to surface area. Thus, even More varied results could arise with features like flaps or wrinkles meant Only to expand Surface Area and aid cooling. Likewise a push to minimize extremities and absorb limbs into a fleshy mass would increase heat retention. Absolutely Brilliant Work! I have no computer to handle it, my iPad is my best, but I would Love to help any way I can, and I LOVE Watching Any Content Exploring an iteration! Keep the Episodes Coming!!!

    • @jclark2752
      @jclark2752 8 дней назад

      In addition, by allowing 'surface area' to be adjusted by approximate Actual Exposed Area, you create the possibility for behaviors like 'curling up' or tucking tail and legs inward to retain heat… If this includes other objects, you incentivize 'huddling against' objects for 'Shelter', or even assembling into Groups for warmth. Similarly, heat would encourage ‘Sprawling Out' Avoiding Tight Spaces, and the close proximity of many animals at once. 🤓

    These videos got me to go and buy the game, so great idea! My computer which I thought was pretty decent can't render more than, like, 200 creatures on the planet at a time. So it's a shame I can't really enjoy the sandbox very much. But I'm still liking the game. This map you featured has a really unique layout, I assume it was bespoke for this stream you did. Is there a way to get maps like that for sandbox on our end?

Different sandbox scenarios: what if animals had to survive after a nuke or something? 4.

I’m sure this game will gain more of a fan base if it was supported on more platforms. Thank you!

    In addition to simply putting caps on organisms, a more immersive way of controlling overpopulation and increasing competition all while probably making the game run smoother would be through diseases. The greater the concentration of one species in an area, the greater the risk of contagion. The likelihood of the diseases to jump species also increases with concentration, so you can essentially hide the species cap inside this mechanic. This would incentivise all species to find ways to spread and diversify more quickly, punish animals that are too reliant on a single food source and generally prevent too many plateau states.
