So turns out in this video I missed out on how multicellular works (needing to eat and grow!) so I will be covering that in the future. The main point of the video was for the colonies either way! :)

Multicellular works! It's just that when you exit the editor, you only have your main cell, but when you eat enough, you get a new cell instead of getting the evolve mode.

I love how forming a cell firing squad is closer to docking a spaceship than anything else.

I have seen the colony stage work for other KZfaqrs, after evolving you will start out as one cell then you need ammonia and phosphate to mitosis your other cells into existence, because, of course, colonies aren’t born with every cell.

In multicellular, you have to grow to full size by eating. In short, you start as a baby with only one cell, and grow the rest.

Quick thing: because you went almost instantly for chitin and then swapped it to cellulous most creatures will have Chitin or Cellulose. Edit: spelling

its actually a sick concept on how they did the multicellular editor, you can literally specialise cells and make different tissues

I've read a bunch of stuff on their forums, the things they have planned are incredibly interesting and if development goes smoothly, this game will probably be beyond incredible

I got into my head that in the future, this cellular creature might evolve into some sort of urchin-like thing with toxic saliva instead of having poison on it's spikes, maybe like a water-borne, deep sea porcupine or something. Great to see you are enjoying this game so much, especially since I really want to see more of you play this game!

"Greetings you sapient slime molds" -Lathrix 2022

"Greetings you sapient slime molds" Dont think I've ever been called that.

even after all these years, spore's cell stage is still the best stage

An idea that I don't remember you covering is using hydrogen sulphate, it can be found uniquely in caves (which may not spawn on your random generated world's home area) and may give a different playstyle.

You can in fact play as a multicellular organism. I have done it, in fact. Simply move away from organisms of your previous species when about to evolve so you do not get devoured.

Cool idea for another video how about you create a creature that produces so much glucose and other things that it expels it therefore providing stuff for the whole entire ecosystem!

I think "thermotrophe" would be a good name? Like phototrophe.

I kinda want a play through with the mutation cost way down, the compound density maxed. As well as mutation rate and all that. Promoting rapid growth in everything. Everything can afford to become huge with lots of things.

I'm glad that someone more familiar with micro biology, like yourself, can get more out of Thrive than I can, I prefer the more arcade-y types of evolution games over scientific ones, complexity is my enemy more or less.

At 22:43 when the cells started moving in unison towards the “target” is damn hilarious!

Clearly, we need a Mould Hive colonising the galaxy, turning everyone into hives like us.

Multicellular organisms give such a good strategic opportunity! Guard-cells around central ATP producers would already provide an excellent defence. Loosing a guard cell would not hinder your ATP production in any way. Love this already!

I used to watch your FTD and Teratech videos when I was a kid. This is my first video in a few years and ive subscribed to a channel that occupied and entertained me since those times.

Yes! More thrive!!!

Thanks for playing this game! Its going to be a long development, but by the end its going to be the best game

The title had me think you were diving into the warcrime rabbit hole that is Rimworld before realizing this game let you be an entire microbiological colony! They represent it in a really interesting way. And with surprisingly less warcrimes. SO far anyway.

Yes, I am a sapient slime mold. And I will extend my weird single cellular but multi nuclei body towards this source of nutritious content by Lathrix.

Joke aside, using the signals to make the AI "allies" retreat from resources is rather ingenious.

I am soooooo looking forward to both more content from you you silly person across the ocean, but also more of this game

loving the content, its relaxing to watch, and you've been very consistent with good content so just a thank you lathrix

@10:56 Getting some serious Guilty Spark vibes... "Ohohoho, I am a genius"

i have had a big brain moment, make a gigantic plant with multicellular prototypes

nice im really keen for a long playlist of this series mate cheers for the entertainment!!!

This game seems like a more fun version of my seventh grade science

oh man you could make a big round blob with super tanky cells on the outside, and either different specialized cells on the inside or a standard inside cell with everything it needs

Glad I got called multi cellular 👌

"I'm about to pull what's called a Synophalos xynos move"

Interesting playthrough, and the other comments down here are quite informative on how the multicell stage works. In other news, 14 days till the Airships Conquer the Skies Co op and Conquest update. And the dev is looking for some marketing help.

Home sick after a half day at work today, but at least I have a nice relaxing video to rest to. Thank you, Lathrix. Your timing is always weirdly good. I think it goes without saying, I'd like to see this channel continued in the future. :)

*NOOOOOOOOOOOO* Lathrix, you need to reproduce your own cell and as that happens they become part of the multi-cellular organism!

Ooh, that Multicellular mode will have a lot of room for growth when it's complete. Imagine building what is essentially a Fortress made out of cells. An outer wall of resilient, protective cells And an inner field of long range death

I hate how I play a game then this man starts to play it and now I watch and play the same games as this man

The cell stage of the rumbling has begun!

Cant wait for more ftd vids

you could call something that gets its energy from thermosynthesis a THERMOPHAGE

Really looking forward to you trying it again if the other comments are correct, I think having a multicellular with hyper super specialized cells would be so cool

It's so cool to see this game again

Got binding agent and became a multi cell organism, so basically made a fish

oh and grandpappy nurgle would be proud

To answer your question, heat loving bacteria are called thermophiles

Idea for the next cell, use a chitin cell with spikes surrounding it to make a prey cell that is unkillable to achieve the goal of being invasive

Thank you Lathrix, very cool.

I recommend to put the flagella in a straight line behind you and only build more lines once the first gets ridiculous. I also normally make a straight line in the front of mitochondria, it makes it quite easy to devour although it doesn’t actually have mass over it.

I love all of your videos from ftd to thrive

Lathrix! Avorion! Very ship, many space. Please.

There is Multicellular gameplay, actually.

if you get big enough you can eat the big iron stones, try that for an episode (i tried it and it works)

Other posts say that you have to eat to spawn the other cells of your colony. I want to point to my idea again: Make a Species with the purpose of enriching the environment with Oxygen, Glucose or whatever. Just so more live can form. If you made them a colony, they would also become near impossible to eat. And with colony mode, you can have cells specialized for combat, movement, or production of one critical resource.

Very good channel

If I had a nickel for every time I've been called a sapient slime mold, I'd have two nickels, which isn't much, but it's weird that it happened twice.

This game looks really good. Finally a successor to spore. First stages were the best ones anyways.

There is a mod the adds phosphate production(not on steam workshop) to your cell so you can become a true plant

giving my daily service to the algorithm :)

You could try to make the largest possible single cell organism

Yess!! This is so cool!

"Sapient slime molds" I dunno what that means lmao

Yes, please do cover Thrive more!

Hey, a new game I recently found called "Sapiens" seems like the type of game that would fit in on the channel, although it currently is in very early development so consider giving it a try! It has great potential and is rather fun even in it's current state

Lathland your a Genius what if spicy stuff is just a tiny bit poisonous but not deadly

One day, he might even call us homo sapiens

Technically not carniferous to my knowledge, probably a thermoautotroph with a bit of suplemental chemoheterotrophy by the 11:56 mark. Or perhaps facultative chemoheterotroph??

Looking forward to more!

Heya Lathlex! I was wondering if I could make a game suggestion? Rimworld. I know its probably something you aren't interested in, but I figured it may be worth a try. You may like it!

the name for something that eats heat is a thermovore

Wonderful as always. Also Lathrix, will you be trying out the new Avorion DLC?

Wall of flesh…toxins? Nergal? Nergwall?

holy shit i’d love to watch cellular biologists play this

Chile:Finally a worthy opponent!Our battle will be legendary!

This game will be Human Building Simulator by 2030

This reminds me of agame called cell lab: evolution sandbox It's a great mobile game. It's sandbox but puzzle based I had a lot of fun playing it like around 5 years ago. It gets very complex and once you get the hang of things, the only limit is your imagination and like 20 different cell type player can make. I found out needing more by the end, making spore-like multicellular organisms where I programmed it to create a layer of 'skin' around itself to protect itself from the predators in the environment and then keep dividing over and over, and burst out of its own skin and eat the other predators. I was very proud of that creation. I'd suggest for you to try it lath. It seems right up your ally

I would classify producing energy from heat as thermo-autotroph

Thanks for the video

yay, another episode, hope there's gonna be many more but of course soon you probably won't have more to show even with mods since this game is still very much in development (and probably will be for over a decade if it manages to live that long which it deserves if it keeps to its idea) Now I'm wondering how long it'll be until multi-cellular stage is on a properly playable level (not completed, that'll be a long while)

monke together stronk

the binding sound sounds like blowing through a straw...

Found this at random. Checked that the game was onyl five bucks. I'm gonna buy and play and then watch!

I really wish you’d take advantage of the delete function in the editor. Sure it costs a little mutation but it’ll really help optimize and bits and bobs are lost in real evolution all the time.

Is there a game mode where you can evolve hive mind or can spread as far and wide as possible?

I feel like this is what spore was originally aiming for when they announced.

Try to explore all the locations once, maybe trying to create the ultimate species that Thrives in all of them at the same time.

The wall of flesh

Great Vegetables

I'm really digging those intros x)

oh no, lathrix has already forgot about ftd

imagine multiplayer in this thing

long colon

8:30 because so many cost are like just 5 more than what you have i usually put it 1 below the default so if its 1 I do 0.9 and it makes alll the difference, way more quality of life without being too easy

How big of a cell can you make is an interesting challenge After all irl the largest single cell organism is the size of a fist from what I vaguely recall Basically I want to know how big you can get before you become unmanageable

i love being a sapient slime mold : D

This is great.

Yay Lathrix :D
