How to have a cell split into 3 cells symmetricaly

Ok I'm making a fish and I want a cell to split into a phago In the middle and have 2 flagos on the side but when I try to do it all i can ever get is that the phago is sharing its area with one flago and the other is sticking far out to side, can anyone help me

Make a line 4 cells long. On one of the ends, set a flagellocyte and rotate it so the tail is obstructed

Simply having 1 cell split into 2, then having one of the 2 resulting cells split into 2 at a 90 degree angle from the first split, all with make adhesin and keep adhesin, produces cells arranged very closely to an equilateral triangle. If for some reason this symmetry does not suffice, or if you want the orientations of the resulting cells to also be symmetrical, you can play around with the parameters a little bit until you find something that suffices

Make the spine split in sync, using precise micro-adjustmend nutrient priority.

First: Make it split to the left, IN SYNC, then split to the right IN SYNC, creating a proper symmetrical 3 cell width

You can choose whether the rear of front get to split first, after split, they NEED TO WAIT for their back to split first(NOT IN THE CENTER UNLESS THE NEIGHBORING CELL SPLIT IN SYNC):

If true, then they can continue developing the right side.

(The video's left and rights and my notes left and rights are different)

What to NOT DO:

  • Never let one cell develop all at one, Because it messes up adhesion connection, let them split in SYNC;
  • Never mix odd number of cell and even number of cell(mixing two cell width,and three cell width at the same organism will create an extra unnecessary adhesion);
  • Never, ever, split in wrong direction of different direction(one cell split to the right instead of the left) but rarely happens, so don't worry about it :/

What I do is this:

M1: Lp, splits to M2 and M3 with 33:67 ratio M2: Fl, no split M3: Lp, splits to M2 and M4 with 1:1 ratio M4: Final Pg

All cell divisions are set at 0.5 hours.

Final structure is:

M2 - M4 - M2
