QFT
We need to solve this problem.
In truth, we may want to drop a speck of playability and automatically land the player with a particular form of propulsion we already have, but all the same it would be more fun to do our own. |

Yeah, giving them a flagellum to start off with would be good._________________ Remember our goals: simplicity, science, and playability. Keep them in mind always. [OE]| [FAQ]|[Wiki]|[My Blog]  |

| I think i'd rather have a random decision of propulsion out of our proto-cell things. |

Unlocked? |
Pick one that would be unlocked to the player from the start, rather than having to unlock it. (Incoherent Calli is incoherent.)_________________ Environmental, Chemical and Linguistic Specialist.

| I'll just enter this thread for once post-virus discussion and mention it's good with me too.  ...We never really finalised what the viruses would be like, did we? The latest was they could be black blobs... Then poof, back to on-topic. Topics...  Was any one of the models Alaska made supposed to be a virus? They all sort of look like blobs to me... Very unique blobs, but blobs. P.S. Merry Halloween and a happy new bonfire night to all!  |

| The very first one Alaska made was a virus, the one with the mosquito legs and diamond-shaped head. |

| Viruses tend to either take the form of phages, which look like Alaska's clone sticker (And I assume is why it's shaped like that.) or a little protein sphere covered in phospholipid nobs. At least I think they're phospholipids. I may be getting them confused with the bilayer.
Point is, the clone-sticker is a virus. |

I think the nobs are proteins as well, but yes, this is correct. I specifically instructed Alaska to make clone stickers into bacteriophages._________________ Remember our goals: simplicity, science, and playability. Keep them in mind always. [OE]| [FAQ]|[Wiki]|[My Blog] |
