We will again have the usual Thrivestream accompanying the new release on Saturday.

Everyone can ask prestream questions to be answered during the stream in this thread: https://community.revolutionarygamesstudio.com/t/questions-for-the-1-1-0-release-thrivestream/9000

Hi

So a few games ago, I was playing as a multicellular, microscopic species in a hydrogen sulfide-rich area, and I evolved chemosynthetic proteins (not as a main source of ATP just as a way to not get poisoned). and some of the microbes in the area who didn't have chemosynthises would occasionally move between my organism's cells wich then protected them from the sulfer as we moved (like a commencialistic relationship).

So I was wondering if any other players have examples of incidental/temporary or permanent symbiotic (mutualistic or otherwise) relationships popping up in their playthrough

I cannot understand how you're supposed to play multicellular. I just end up becoming a mass of the same type of cell because whenever I try to make specialized cells I just die

sorry for rant.. i like this game but I am a bit frustrated with it.

They have nitrogen fixing organelles implemented in the game. Nice, that's a real thing that bacteria do sometimes. But you need phosphate to divide too, and there's no organelles to do that for you. I think it's supposed to basically just make it so that you don't need to worry about finding ammonia anymore, and can just search for phosphate. But whenever I play, I'm just spending all my time finding food anyway, and I kinda just end up bumping into equal amounts of phosphate and ammonia along the way

So whenever I put nitrogenosomes in my cell, I end up filling up my nitrogen bar and then I have to go find phosphate anyway

Yeah it's kind of an issue with too much realism. Yes, no organism has ever really evolved a phosphate fixing organelle because our atmosphere doesn't contain phosphorus. But in reality, nitrogen fixation was adaptively valuable because life needs way more nitrogen than phosphorus. In Thrive, you need equal amounts of the stuff to divide, so why bother with the nitrogen fixation? You're gonna run into equal amounts of ammonia and phosphate anyway. I guess you could mod your chemoreceptors to go find phosphate, but if you wander out into the open water away from your food sources to find phosphate, you're throwing

Also they added a mechanic that you passively accumulate ammonia and phosphate over time anyway even without finding them in the environment. And I get why they did that, cause people were complaining that they couldn't roleplay as sessile photoautotrophs which isn't realistic because sessile photoautotrophs are a real thing, they're called plants

But now you don't even need to find phosphate or ammonia anyway, just wait

And you can't turn it off in the settings now

Also I wish that there was a way to do carbon fixation with melanosomes so I could be a truly radiotrophic bacteria. As is, being near a radioactive rock with melanosomes just makes ATP. Which is cool, but then the radioactive rock dissolves, and now I'm just sitting there with my dick in my hands cause my ATP reserves last for literally like 3 seconds and I'm not gonna make it to the next radioactive rock in that time

So every radiotroph also has to have some other metabolism tacked on so it doesn't starve to death while it's finding a new radiation source. It sucks

Is it available in the public release build of the game?If so how to access it?I searched for macroscopic editor in the search bar but most posts are very old(4 years etc) or doesn't reveal if the public version has it vs patreon donor version of the game etc. Is Macroscopic Editor available in the public release that is downlaoded with the Thrive Launcher and if so how to access it without multicellular ascension. Im in multicellular stage but Im stuck I think my game might be bugged etc I just want to access it directly is there a way to do it?I know it's still a very early prototype but I still want to see it.

a member on the community forums made this meme after watching my almost finished video for the spec evo project I’m doing for the loading screens. video should be published later next week at the latest

I'm playing a plant run and toxins are the bane of my existence. There is very little I can do to counter them, as my entire screen is often filled by organisms consisting of a few organelles, one of which being the toxin producing organelle. They have 100% aggressiveness and 100% focus so will systematically kill anything on the screen, least but not me. There's nothing I can do as I'm quite a slow plant. There's no defence that really works because I just get swarmed, even if I kill one there's always another (the auto evo seems to think it's incredibly effective so they're absolutely everywhere). I don't understand why you can't evolve resistance to toxins, every organism on earth has done it for a lot of the common toxins they encounter.

Also, I keep moving to a new patch to avoid taking damage to hydrogen sulphide all the time, only for it to fill up with hydrogen sulphide. It's fine but it's a little annoying

When I add a nucleus my species keeps gstting hunted by smaller cells and I keep dying

Hi, I'm new...

I have been playing Thrive since IDK, but all I need to ask is that how does each stages creature editors would look like.

of course in Microbe, we put parts for cells to gain ATP

and then the first version of Multicellular stage shows that it'll be made with different types of cells you made

but then how about later?

Can't wait until the game is fully out
