As the player's species is probably one of the most thriving it seems like many other species would evolve from it. Will the auto-evo manage that, creating NPC species evolved from yours?

Yup, last time I heard this mentioned it was supposed to be possible in the game.

I know this probably isn't how the game would work properly, but what if all species started the same? all of them as your species, but gradually they diverge and evolve to fit different niches. It would make for a wicked Tree of Life diagram like how Species:ALRE has.

I think the game will basically start out with all the microbes being very close to the same

I assumed that, but currently all NPC microbes are different.

I assumed that, but currently all NPC microbes are different. That's actually a really good point though. I think with a bit of suspension of disbelief, you can say that the other microbes evolved into completely different classes of life. For example: if you evolved into a mammal, you can say that other microbes in the tidepool later on evolved into plants and arthropods. However you could also say that those microbes that are around you are also the product of evolution. Who's to say that the player microbe and all the NPC microbes didn't all evolve from a common ancestor? There we go: THRIVE's first two fan theories |

There we go: THRIVE's first two fan theories I've actually talked to Xenox about this idea and he agrees with it some-what. He says that prehaps the game would start with a few types of cells(autotrophs, heterotrophs, etc.) and all would evolve. |

Where can I read about auto-evo? I forgot how it works lol

Yes. The current concept is for you to be able to control your species in one patch. You can then spread your species to another patch but you can't control what they do there (like sending some settlers to another continent on a ship). You will still be considered the same species until auto-evo (or your evo choices) makes you different enough. Then you will be two different species both of which came out of yours.
I think we can do a tree of life too. Which would be cool.
