DaftNESIV Excursion I: Planet Formation Exercise

[Abaddon]

Ogaevorzoa ~~> Sligaevore

The Ogaevorzoa is evolving!

1x Poisonous Mucus Coating
1x "limbs"
1x Degestive Tract.

Ogaevorzoa began to secrete mucus, thus becoming Sligaevore. This is unappetising to predators. It is stickly, messy, and unappetising. Detritus sticks to it to help the disguise.
Its "lips" are inceasingly adapted to nibble off the "plants" it finds on the underside of the ice
Of what it nibbles, it gains greater fuel from by having the beggings of a digestive system

Thanks, update tommorrow!

Daft, how thick do you imagine the ice to be in the shallowest areas, and how far do my little pets 'drill' through it?

Also will it ever be possible to make more than one evolution? can a Mana point be used for that?

Say I want to evolve my tree like thing and then also evolve off of Lucky's Uckmites to something that if very efficient at absorbing lower intensity wavelengths from the sun, thus providing a bit of symbiosis with my plants? (i.e. like how plants absorb red and blue and reflect green, the most abundant colour, actually I'm still researching that issue, fascinitating really!) (symbiosis as its effectively quick growing bait of the less usefull light!)

@Kal I guess, if we have any useful sunlight, at 4 AU from the sun, the ice can't be very thick in those places. But I'm afraid to quote a figure as it will just be wrong! At least a few metres anyway?!

No more than one evolution or I won't be able to handle things! You'd have to dedicate a turn to evolving the seperate branch you wanted.

@Daftpanzer obviously this being a game we can ignore reality.
But where reality is concerned, 1 AU is how far away the Earth is from the Sun, at least that's what I've read. 4 AU would be too far away from that "zone" where scientists believe life can exist. But like I said this is just a game. Since it is your game, you are God and can make anything happen in any way you please.

 

[Haseri]

That said, according the the graphic during the first phase, the 'Goldilocks Zone' starts around 2 AU. Implying that this star is brighter than our own, and will likely not last as long.

 

[Terrance888]

Maybe here, an AU is smaller? Or maybe it got blurred? (Just something, a close guess.)

 

[Haseri]

No, an AU (astronmical unit) is a constant, about 149 million miles, from the Earth to the Sun.

It could be Daft is not an expert (neither am I, see my sig for where I get all my knowledge from...), and thus should be cut from slack.

 

[Abaddon]

Does it matter? In this universe, this planet can support life on a icey planet. end of

 

[Terrance888]

Abaddon, can you make the sun send less radiation and more photosythesizeable light? Even 0.0001 change would be favorable.

Those are one in the same dawg.

Hmm, so it would be more efficient to simply create an environment for the bait then...

Interesting. Anyway, I might go another route

 

[Lord_Iggy]

The goldilocks zone applies for earthlike planets. This is a Europa-type ecosystem. It's at the warm end of being an ice planet, with a focus on deep-sea vents rather than the slim pickings of sunlight.

Strictly speaking, you might modify what parts of the electromagnetic spectrum do reach parts of the planet, since it is not all ionizing radiation. E.g. A planet's magentosphere might capture ionizing radiation in orbit since it has charge and mass (so give North a strong magnetosphere). E.g. A planet's atmosphere might absorb some radiation---Earth's ozone layer absorbs UV radiation, while non-ionizing radiation can permeate.

So anyways, if one wanted to spend a mana point to alter the planet to decrease the radiation problems, it's not scientifically unfeasible.

It isn't unfeasible but as this planet has been described it is improbable. Don't try to lecture me on elementary subjects sir.

 

[Abaddon]

Play nice now...

 

[HunterG24]

Ugh my apologies, I shouldn't have started this.

Guys seriously, this is just a game like I said in my post. And like all games, it need not adhere to reality.

Daftpunk's rules do state you can use mana to alter the planet.

 

[Luckymoose]

I really wish people wouldn't steal my evolutions. Poisonous slime plants. Come on Abaddon.

Mine's an animal for a start..

Still annoying. I demand change!
