Miscellaneous Bugs And Questions That Don't Deserve Their Own Thread Thread

I don't want to sound harsh, but if you want to become respected on the forums you should respect the forum rules. This belongs in the misc. bugs and questions thread.

QFT. The Misc. Thread rule is fairly obvious.

In regards to Zeyrock's question, yes you can get out of your ship and walk around or control entire armies in creature/strategy mode. For the second, most likely the creature in charge of the "flagship" would be an admiral or leader of sorts, but most like not the leader. I suppose you could if you wished, but that would be fairly unwise, for reasons Dinoman pointed out; your leader could be more easily killed, causing your whole nation to be endangered.

I've been wondering about this, can you put other players' cells into your own game, or will it just be the same template cells in each microbe stage?

I yhought it was 3 different possible looks per cell, but thats just what I read.

i seem to remember that a "thrivepedia" was a planned feature, dont know if it will be a reality in the final game, but it should be easy to implement custom made cells and other props in the game.

Well, the cells will hopefully evolve as you do, so there wont be any template cells, they will all be created from scratch every time. User created cells or creatures cant fit here because they need to evolve as you do, and the cell/creature other player creates will just be static.

I actually think that template microbes\creatures would be a better idea, at least in the first release, just for the sake of simplicity.

That's the point.

This topic will include ideas on how species may reproduce. This includes the development of the offspring and possible pros and cons. Try to think of as alien reproduction methods as possible.

First off, a beelike species, with 3 abodemens. One would contain the digestive, nervous and immune system, another the endocrine, respiratory and urinary system, and the last-the moment you've all been waiting for-the reproductive system. It can self-fertilize, but it can exchange sperm with other members of its species for diversity. The eggs, once fertilized, grow until the reproductive abdomen burst, not outright killing the parent, but rendering it vulnerable, where it finds a place to stay safe until the reproductive abdomen regenerated. The offspring would then find a rotting body to feed on and call home until they were adults. Pro: it would make speciation easier if it somehow wound up on a island. Con: overpopulation would happen faster, requiring culling of offspring in society, possibly causing unhappiness.

Second a female about the size of a caterpillar and a male the size of a flea. The female would have a growth which, if human-sized, would be the size of a backpack.(wow, I said size a lot.) The male would burrow into this growth and inside the growth would be unfertilized eggs and a point that would kill the female if damaged. The male fertilizes the eggs and grows to the size of a ant. Its reproductive system would be replaced with a venom strong enough to kill a beetle-sized animal. When the eggs hatched, the offspring would be driven by instinct to eat the fatal point. For their entire childhood, they would be eating the corpse of their mother, with the male protecting the body from scavengers. When the offspring are all grown up, the father would have reached the end of its lifespan. No pros or cons.

Portal out!

This has been gone over, it will be determined by the player. But more than likely, there will be no self-fertilization.

So when browsing the interwebs I came across this this game called Battle Engine Aquilahttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_Engine_Aquila it seemed like fun so i tried it out and it blew my mind, The gameplay was supposed to be a genric mech game but was far from it see it had al controled bases like and RTS, but you didn't control these bases the Ai controled them, Well it was a war game with huge scale even though you played the main charter, if you zoomed out ehouge you truely felt like a cog in the war machine.Well my words can't do this game justice , but really check it out it may help.
maybe i'll play some more , this game has impressed me with its scale and variety from huge beach landings with landers and aircraft flying about , to taking down gigantic walkers ,to dog fights involving entire fleets over the ocean. and when you walked around everything was to scale people were people sized no same size where things were huge felt huge . Just WoW the scale of it all , I am serious though scale is very important for a game like Thrive

I think this belongs on the misc. thread, and a dev should move it, and dinoman, I'd recommend looking at the OE CC, internal self-fertilization is possible.

EDIT: Of course if I got something wrong here someone please correct me.

hi, i know that you use 3dmax, maya or blender. but i have only cinema 4d...is cinema 4d okay for modeling, or i must give up? i want to help the thrive project...excuse me for my awfull english

If I remember correctly, this is all just concept art. Excuse me if I'm wrong, but it is okay as long as we all can see it. Model to your heart's content. (Also, your English is all right :D)

This needs to be in misc. thread.

Good focusing on the scaling jimexmore, but I think that is handled in the OE sizing board.

EDIT: Aha! I remembered a question, if players can upload their creations onto an online forum, this one or another, how will these creations be implemented into the game if they are downloaded, or are they just going to be things to look at?

I mean we have size scales for the ecosystem with 40m animals and stuff, but when am a 1m long bug and am staring down this "super" predator .I must feel it like it couldn't see the tail or maybe hitch a ride,because thats what bugs do.

I think this idea haven't been proposed, since I searched in the forums and found nothing about it. So, here's my idea: adding the Sol system and a human civilization on it. Of course, first focus on developing the game, which is a priority, but after it, there could be this easter egg.

One thing that I didn't like too much in Spore is that there were no humans. You could find the Sol and Earth, but it was uninhabited and the planet's ecosystem was damaged, probably because of some catastrophe that not only damaged Earth, but also exterminated humanity. Ok, this idea is cool, but I wanted to find a normal human civilization on Earth, so I could ally with them... or destroy them like in the classics.

This human civilization would be like humanity in some 70 years in the future (about in the year of 2080). We would have a pretty advanced space travelling technology, though I don't think we would already have FTL engines.

What do you guys think?

This has been discussed on the Easter egg thread, and this thread needs to be moved to the misc.

Donno if i would like or hate this idea. Don't think i would be happy to have Earth flying around in the universe always. The game should develop all other worlds with the algorithm. So having Earth would be highly doubtful. Otherwise it would be nice, if we ever reach the state, that the game is in a phase to be a plattform for many other games, aswell first person or other minigames, what would work very will in god mode (endgame), that we have earth avaible with the most known creatures. Possible in the library, that we can drop it then or use specific creatures from there, including the homo sapiens.

The consensus, I think, was that Earth would be there, but it is locked at the beginning of human evolution, and once found will progress like normal. Players can interact with the humans however they want after that.

Oh, sorry, I didn't know that there was already other thread. Could you send me a link of it?

Uhh, hmm, I can't seem to find it, I'll keep looking and edit my find into this post if I find something resembling what I said.

Aha, I have found it, screw those doubting thoughts in my head! https://thrivegame.canadaboard.net/t865-easter-eggs-something-to-laugh-at

Y'know, if you want to find something, just read around first, or ask on the misc. thread about what you want to know, and someone can direct you or give a direct answer. I wouldn't recommend my answers though, they're rather long-winded.

That would be awesome, but probably get us in trouble.
