So if i understand it correctly the planis that it's possible that Aware stage NPC's can evolve on your planet ad domesticate you, and that it's possible for Space Stage NPC's to come down and uplift you (or an other Organism/Civilliasation for that matter). But would it be possible for an Ascension Stage NPC to come down and change your course of evolution ? (or the course of evolution from an NPC for that matter) How would this work ? What could it do ?

Was there ever really a decision on the whole domestication thing? Last I heard the idea was no because the time scales (millions of years to thousands of years) didn't match up enough for it, unless the time was Sloan down in which case you no longer are evolving in a given time frame. Unless that was changed while I wasn't listening.
About the ascension thing, maybe the whole idea itself is that you are a prevously ascended species and thats exactly what you are doing, messing with a species evolution for Belgiums and giggles. unless you mean they are gods who change the planets conditions

Yeah it was never decided but i included it anyway  I did mean that there where gods who could change a planaets conditions, uplift civiliacations and so on. Simelar to Space stage NPC's who can uplift civiliasations, but on a higher level. And that's my new headcannon for Thrive |

Maybe, I know it was mentioned at some point if we should allow such drastic changes to the environment, cause of the whole niche evolution wasted the to big changes. But to have those changes come from a God having a hissy fit or a (insert famous artist) phase I don't know. If would be interesting if your whole game didn't ride on it not occuring till the space stage

Yeah, maybe it's a stupid idea. But i figured if we have a small chance of Space Stage NPC's messing with you, and your planet why not do the same with Ascension Stage NPC's ? (btw if this gets implemented it's probably going to be an extremely small chance and i think the game won't even tell you if it happened)

Fair enough, it would be really interesting to see how it was implemented and the potential consequences and gameplay changes that could occur.

Nah I think that kind of thing should be left to the ones with imaginations. |

Atrox You're right, maybe it is a stupid idea. But i still think it's good to proposes it. GRODOG This thread isn't about domestication, would you like me (or another mod for that matter) to move it to a more appropiate thread ?

In my opinion it's probably going to be that Ascension stage NPC's will all be from the previous stages of course, but your interactions with them would be much more open, such as changing their evolutionary path, social structure, etc. Perhaps if you find a new species/civ or make one they can be fine tuned to your choice, or random. Probably another thing of note is that since you'll literally be god, many many species would either look up to you or resent you for being god/not being the real god. Who knows.

I think you misunderstood my suggestion, this is about NPC's that are in the Ascension Stage interacting with your species/tribe/civ or an other NPC species/tribe/civ, and not about your interaction with non-ascension stage NPC's whilst in Ascension. |

Oh! Well in that case maybe it could be that there's a chance of "supernatural activities" occurring on the world, from temperatures changing, sudden changes in peaceful species to brutal monsters, the sorts. Maybe ascension stage NPC's (if your species culture is Spiritual/Worshipers) interact "in person" (in a disguise similar to your species) can have shrines or similar, such as how the Aztecs or Norse people had worship areas to certain deities. Though of course this is if your species is spiritualistic, if they're any other type, say Capitalistic or some other form, they would probably view the ascended as a God of wealth. Or if the species is Militaristic they could view it as a god of war/an ultimate challange. Who knows, too many variables and things to consider if your species (or any others) interact with a divine being. Though if you're in space stage and have the knowledge of ascension gates, maybe you'll just ignore said "God". Sorry for rambling |

What I believe is Ascended NPCs would simply be a non-LAWK disaster, just a point of light, not a spaceship. Them belgiumming up your environment would be a difficulty option, and would apply to other disasters.
