I Forced Evolution To Destroy Itself

If you want to thrive then all you need are spikes. Lots of spikes. In order to do this we need lots of mass plus a creature capable of supporting this many and that can take a little time. Luckily time is one thing I have a lot of.

Intentionally making your ATP production too low is kinda OP actually, because all you need to do is stop moving to get ATP back, but the AI never stops moving, so they all just die, becoming food for you.

[@catpoke9557]

@Cody Combs Not exploitation! Evolution. There's things in real life that live by not moving, like plants. That's the great thing about this game. A lot of things that people think are exploits or a glitch or something are, in fact, incidental but not unintentional. ALL strats to survive in this game are valid, as long as they work. Even if your method is not evolving at all ever.

You need to be at least 50% bigger then something to engulf it.

Another thing, the green cells were not your species, they were descended from your species but they were not your species. That is why they looked similar. As you play other species evolve from you and then evolve on their own from the Auto-Evo system.

[@Untrustedlife]

Just noticed DF turned on engulfing later. Woops.

[@calebschultz4270]

question, so far all I have seen on youtube is that players place on these sunlight powered glucose producing things. they (spike viper and this person) both act as if they are becoming plants (albeit with more spikes). Is this currently the only way to become a self sufficient cell that dosn't need the glucose clouds, or are there other more exotic processes planed to be implemented so that this is not the only strategy employed? (I do not know science, nore game design, but I seem to think that all of life dose not contain this single strategy of utilizing the sun, so what else dose nature use instead, and could these stratigese be utilized in the game (or are they there already)? also, it seems kind of strange that the only viable strategy at the moment incentives you to head twords the light and become a plant and not some thing else (why not some processes that would let you stay at the steam vent? why not something that would alou you to specilise into each biome and become self sufficient instead of just relying on sunlight?) thank you.)

The viciousness of this creature, it evolved spikes to initially defend itself from all predators but eventually used the same spikes to massacre everything, and because its the main species that thrived, the rest of the ocean is now eat-all-you-can body parts buffet Basically, DF accidentally made a biological grey matter.
