If there's no oxygen though, at least your bananas and apples won't go brown. But how could life start without oxygen? it is an important element in so many processes. Even if you are a microbe that doesn't breath, you need it to make ATP.

The bore rats that took the two nectquails are congratulated by their fellow tribe mates, whose population is about 32, and they equally share the birds, cutting them up with sharpened stones. then the matriarch, the chief of the tribe, who got his position for being extremely intelligent, returns with a remarkable discovery. he was spying on some other intelligent creatures, the orange ones with hands just like theirs, and figured out how to make fire from them. he commands the men to sharpen rocks and chop down some trees at the surface, so that they may light the deep caverns.

name:bore rat
they actually don't look like rats at all. instead, they look like big badgers with scorpion-like tails. they are close in intelligence to chimpanzees, and they burrow deep into the earth. they have habits of hoarding shiny things, and they are experts at hiding the few entrances to their tunnel systems. they live in a group similar to meerkats. they use their tails to stab prey and pull it down into their complex burrow systems, which can go many meters deep. they can tell where things are and when they die by feeling vibrations with two tentacle like organs on their backs. they are carnivores and they hunt using these organs like trapdoor spiders. they can dig at an insane speed, due to simple stone hand shovels that have replaced their long claws over time, transforming their digits into fingers similar to primates. they have a simple language, and can communicate over long distances through the earth with something similar to Morse code by using their two seismic organs.

after head-butting each other all night, two female nectquails finally drop dead. soon scavengers set in to eat their fresh corpses. but before even a peck is made, they suddenly fall into the earth.

I think it would be neat to have three moons of varying sizes, and have at least two out at a time.
As three smoke columns climb to the sky (the mountains, rain forest, and beach caves) a young male Lycine who was recently removed from his mothers care, as he neared adulthood, has traveled from his home grassland many miles away to a whole new one, surrounded by rain forests, an ocean, and mountains. He sees one familiar thing however. Those annoying nectquails that are simply EVERYWHERE. He notices how hungry he is, and happily kills about twelve of the plumper nectquails. He then promptly eats them. edit: never mind. because the Gula extinguished their fires, there isn't smoke from the beach anymore.

name: nectquail
is is similar to a quail in size, and has a huge flower growing out of its back. it has a wide, fleshy beak and is stupidly aggressive, despite its pathetic size.the flower on its back works just like any other, and is in fact part of the nectquail, so it produces glucose that is stored in the back, causing a hump to form there. It can also feed off of the grasslands where it lives, often following the local boundarier herd, eating the blood sucking insects, not unlike mosquitoes, that feed of the huge boundariers. it does have wings, but due to it's hump, can only fall in style. they lay eggs and enjoy having headbutting contests with all genders.

sorry, i don't know that much about rts games. the only one I've spent a lot of time with is Warcraft 2: tides of darkness, and seeing how old the game is, it probably isn't such a good example. and a lot of the computers I've used were meant for media instead of gaming. and i feel like an idiot for forgetting there isn't going to be game of the year graphics in thrive.
i apologize for my idiocy.

maybe in this game with tamable animals you could do stuff with them other than have them weakly defend your home and laying eggs that you then eat. first of all, you should probably be able to develop saddles and ride certain animals, second, if each animal of a species does have slight variations, you could selectively breed them to get the traits you want. and tribe weapons and technology would go beyond fire, rocks tied to sticks, and simple instruments. instead your tribe could have once again, saddles, as well as bow and arrow, atlatl, and unique structures, kinda like Stonehenge. this is all i thought of when i made this post, but i know there's more.

as long as eventually i can have something that ACTUALLY looks long enough to be a realistic looking snake like animal, dragon like animal, or ANYTHING that has a reasonably lengthened tail, i'll be happy, and if i can have something that has more than three sets of limbs, i'll be REALLY happy. edit: oh and that would make this game so better than spore.

and speaking of mass extinction events, in the history of earth, there are five huge extinctions, so in thrive, it would make sense to have multiple mass extinctions, and your organism would need to evolve to survive all of them, and it seems that burrowing is a very viable way to do so.

and also algae is the stuff that makes coral alive and colorful, and nobody likes lots of algae, so that's what the cause of the problem with dying coral is. people are always killing algae in ponds and tanks, as well as lakes and natural bodies of water, because algae bloom can kill everything in a body of water. edit: OOPS!!! coral doesn't have a symbiotic relationship with algae, the color comes from chlorophyll and some other thing i can't remember. coral do however have symbiotic relationships with cells called zooxanthellae cells, that are sensitive to light. i can't remember what is symbiotic with algae, it's on the tip of my tongue....

and eventually maybe your specialization could go as far as having shock proof digits that vibrate at an extreme rate, even drilling through certain rocks, or you could be like a wood pecker. when i think of burrows though, i think of an episode from the short series walking with monsters, on the episode where there are small burrowing creatures called Diictodonts, and their burrowing led them to extreme success. but instead of a huge underground compound with many rooms like an ant colony, they had simple spiral burrows that could be easily dug deeper to escape heat, and they could find plant roots and tubers for food and water, even though they lived during a miserably hot time period.

that would be cool on an alien planet, because if it's in the game, the colors could be completely randomized, and the shapes and patterns could be different, leading to a cool underwater experience.

it also makes sense because in the game there are soooo many cells to devour and be devoured by. and also in the difficulty settings i'm sure it would be possible to make it easier by making you faster or others slower. and maybe this sort of game play could be played with your friends.

but when you have HUGE fleets on your game, wouldn't that put strain on the computer if its real time?

or maybe your territory is unclaimed territory that is close or around your people, kind of like a circular area around a warrior that is controlled by you. but if you're on another tribes land it doesn't matter. or maybe you have to build something there.

that is cool.
but where were the animals? anyways, that does have a lot of interesting stuff in it, like all the automatons. the only unrealistic thing for me was the whole tree of life thing.

A big game might require an installer or something. I don't think you can download a working uncompressed game in a reasonable timeframe. Especially something as big as thrive. yes, that was the answer i was looking for. sorry for the bad wording of my question
