  3. You have 8 days left. Your breeding pair is perfect and the recessive bearyena snout is a given. All you need is a CH male. Your couple has 8 CF females. The second couple has a CH female and two HB boys. Game Over.

  5. I've been playing on and off since the Kickstarter Beta, and I haven't seen very many of the advanced ships I'm sure other players are building. So here are a few of mine (coolest one at the end). The basic ship goes forward and spins. You add a few simple things like shields, ore, magnets, and a few weapons. Maybe some logic to toggle those things on and off. I assume most people end up building some ships like this when they first start playing. Next I built more complex ships, but they were basically the same design. More engines, more weapons, but still a single large structure that rotates, shoots, and carries stuff. When I first started building a few releases back, I moved from there on to even larger ships with more weapons and energy. I made some small buddy drones that worked poorly. But the problem I had was that increased firepower and speed results in heavy and hard to maneuver monsters. I couldn't dig through planets quickly because I was so massive and required such a wide path. The big change for me happened when I began building snake ships. These are segmented and carry energy and engines on every section. I use fixed-direction digging lasers, so on most planets I can blast through terrain at full speed. It steers quickly as well. And I can unload a huge amount of damage, thanks to weapons on every body segment. I use this ship for every mission except bio barrels and harvesting. Are there some other designs for agile bots with high damage capabilities? I'd love to see more of what other people dream up (besides their devastating sumo bots).

  7. The Sumo Tournament is currently quite difficult since there are so many different kinds you have to counter inorder to get to last round. And usually in the last round there's one that uses brute force so you have to also counter that. As for the game in it's entirety it's mostly chill but as you get further it becomes alot more difficult with the increasing amount of enemies and hazards. The performance on the other hand varies greatly. If you only make small drones that don't go over 500 parts or so it usually doesn't dip under 25fps but after you get to the large drones like over 2000 part drones it can go as low as 0.04fps if you have alot of weapons shooting at the same time and if you have Bloom on higher than 50% it can go really slow real fast. I've experienced fps so low that everytime it advances one frame the game stops responding and comes back after like half a minute. The performance and Difficulty technically completely depend on how you like to play, Do you like to play with simple or complex and large drones, Do you want to challenge yourself by using weak weapons or do you want to just blast through everything with strong weapons and drones.

  8. Well I don't have any fast Snake/Worm Drones, Atleast they don't seem to be that fast. But I do have Planetary Eclipse which pretty much brings the end of the world wherever it goes. And it is quite large given how that's not the finished version. I've had larger and alot stronger Snake/Worm Drones but they have all been in the Demo so they cannot be used in the Closed Alpha. Currently the largest I had was this: "Vertex Enigma" But sadly I lost it before I could save it and make it straight, It was around 8000 parts. Then later on I started making Ouroboros which is the large drone with decorations that you have probably seen before. Ouroboros, It originally started as a small-ish Snake/Worm drone made to dig out large planets in a short amount of time. But then while making it I decided that it should have decorations and such nobody else had ever made. So making the decorations began. And my first idea was to use drills for decoration, But that was too unstable to use as decorations. And then I had an amazing idea, What if I used weapons as decoration? I began experiementing with using weapons as decorations and came up with this style. By using Beams, snipers and flamethrowers as decorations I invented a completely new way to decorate large drones. It was stable too since all weapons are actually just 1 block and had quite a little amount of mass compared to other options. I expanded the decoration to everything in Ouroboros and so was Ouroboros born, It was quite small at the time but it was beautiful. Later on I made Ouroboros longer by copying the middle section and just pasting it until it was long enough. I decided to make it as close to 5000 as possible so then It became 5551 parts. This is the drone you have probably seen before in the Kickstarter, Steam Page, Twitter and such with this gif. This was my ticket to getting Closed Alpha, Making something really large, powerful and beautiful at the same time, And as my 4th drone?! This was truly something nobody had done before. After couple weeks I sent that it already got featured in the Twitter, Kickstarter and later on in the Steam Page. Jokingly I said that the drone got featured in the Twitter so is that technically winning a Gif Competition. To my surprise I actually got a key for the Closed Alpha. So I started making more Snake/Worm drones. This time with even more ridiculous weapons. But after trying to come up with stuff, I didn't get any inspiration to make something that could surpass Ouroboros' beauty and intimidation. After couple months when the Closed Alpha just became version 0.5.1 I finally got the strength and inspiration to make something again. I started working on Planetary Eclipse, I wasn't planning on making something as wide as Ouroboros this time, but something stronger. As I was making weapons for the new drone I was thinking of any ideas for decorations and such, This time I was aiming for something more mechanical and futuric looking instead of something aztec inspired. I was making it for around 4 days before I finished the front and the middle section. It wasn't as beautiful and large but it was alot stronger, laggier and destructive. It was decorated with leds alot more than Ouroboros and had alot stronger weapons than Ouroboros. But it wasn't that intimidating at first, I added more spikes into it's head and body and also added lasers around everything. It was starting to feel complete. But it didn't feel right, It didn't feel that large. I started adding more sections but everytime I did it just didn't feel right. As if it was missing something, It was missing the weapon decorations. But I didn't know how to decorate it after I already built it. I decided that I wouldn't decorate it with weapons, Saying that didn't feel right at all. That is the thing I am known for, And I am not doing it? I decided that I wouldn't make this as the new Ouroboros, But instead have this as a showcase of what is to come. While Planetary Eclipse isn't yet complete, Neither is the story. Planning on something insanely large, Something that shouldn't even be possible to make. But I haven't started this yet, And I won't start it until Planetary Eclipse is finished. Currently Planetary Eclipse is just a head and a body, There is no end of the body yet. While this is the current version of Planetary Eclipse, There will be more to come.

  11. True Beginnings Mode: A mode that makes it a 'you're-the-only-creatures-in-the-world' challenge. No Wanderers or Rogue Males New Immunity genes (ones that the breeding pair doesn't have) have a chance to be randomly mutated (but not in the mutation menu) Genes that need to be bred in from wanderers (i.e. antenna) would either need a way to be unlocked or be randomly mutated like the immunity genes Bad genes (blind eyes, shortsighted eyes, deformed paw, etc) have a chance of being randomly mutated in like Immunity genes Released males have a small chance of becoming rogues Every time a day passes, a new plant has a chance to spawn (ex. You are on a Tiny Green. Tiny Green could have, say, a max of 5 bushes spawned in when your creatures enter the island, and a max of 5 bushes that can be spawned in. Every day has a 10% chance of a new berry bush spawning in, and once one does spawn, the chance of a new one appearing after that goes down to 9%, and so on.) This could happen with berry bushes, poison berry bushes, healing fruits, carnivorous plants, those plants that looks like cotton and give nesting material, kelp, water-breathing plants, and grass (explained further below). If a plant does have a chance to grow, it will spawn in as a seedling, eventually growing to maturity. The island you start on is called Eden. Only a few berry bushes are full gown, and the rest are still seedlings. All grass is already 'cleared out', and the re-growing grass is still regrowing. I'm too lazy to write anything else so the rest can be decided by devs/comments.
