Cool stuff

ok i am a little bit confused on the story award, would we find another person that has another species/plant that lives in the same area as ours and make a story together?
Some of the stories have been like nature documentaries, with alien species or time travellers going back in time to study/hunt/cook/eat the various lifeforms

Or others have just been the life stories of individual creatues. Stories aren't a big part of this NES but I like to encourage them

What are the forests of Asmara like? Types of tree/plant life are there currently, how dense is it, ect. Also great update like always.
The forests in Asmara are about 80% Liandranels, the new one with the less tasty fruit etc. The rest is a mix of Proto-Tranel and Novo Tranel. That's just for the big plants. Wherever there is clearing in the forest, there will mainly be Sprouty Fern, Winter Fern, and the Woody Fanel and Nest Fanel. But bascailly all kinds of plants can be found in small numbers in the forest, scattered around everywhere.
Falciria doesn't have the Liandranel, so all its 'big' plants are the Tranels.

How come the Dome Zeeboo's are struggling? Surely there's no reason why they can't live in warmer temperatures? They wouldn't have been washed away by the floods surely? They're underground
Well they are quite specialised for cold conditions, with x5 cold resistance, which isn't needed anymore except at the extreme poles. The are also quite complex with 41 genes, so some simpler plants can out-grow them, even though they have the Fast Growth x2. And their efforts and growing fast means they need more mineral-rich places to start with. They could be found in small numbers almost anywhere, but I imagine them only really do well in extreme environments like exposes mountainsides.

I'd like to get in on this. What would be the best place to start?
Greetings!

Have you read the first post on this thread? I've put various infos in there. You
can start with a very simple species, with just 3 genes of your choice. But because other species have evolved far (the most complex is up to 42 genes now) it will need to be something very original if its going to compete and survive.
Otherwise, the best option is probably to make a new species based on an existing one (an evolution). You can pick any species listed in the stats (the document attached to the update, since its way too long to put in one post), and add 3 genes to it to make a new species. You can also remove up to 3 genes if you want, to remove things you dont want, make it more steamlined and efficient etc. Pretty much everything costs energy and requires more food!
Note that bonuses are awarded in the updates, which allow certain people to add/remove up to 4 genes for one time only (until they get another bonus!).
