I was thinking about the larva thread and I thought, "Should a species be allowed to pupate multiple times?" I don't think this would be too hard to implement game mechanics wise, but it could cause problems for the later stages where civilized behavior makes everything complicated. I honestly am neutral on this, I care more about there being more than one or two "casts" in a species rather than multiple pupations, but its still a thing to think about. Another thing to note is that there is literally no evolutionary advantage to do this. If a species needs to specialize, it can have multiple casts ie a queen, drone workers, a "male" to impregnate the queen would be a good hive system or you could have males and females as a cast system like humans (neither is superior over the other don't start that argument ). Pupating multiple times is inefficient to be completely honest, why not grow up to an adult the first time? But I'm sure some people would still wanna do it so is it worth implementing?

Well, if they add pupating then presumably there wouldn't have to be an in-game limit to how far it can go. At the very least, it'd make it a lot easier to make Pokémon. ... Come to think of it, jellyfish sort of go through this without pupating (larval phase, sessile phase, budding phase, subadult-adult phase)... And it's WEIRD. So I suppose things could get that complex with pupating.

If they added pupating I'd imagine it would probably be more like insect pupation where they form a chrysalis and undergo changes inside, then they come out and are adults. Still JELLYFISH ARE COOL
