This article includes features that are in development and not yet implemented.

The Organism Editor is the Multicellular and Aware stages' editor. It is the second editor to be unlocked after the Microbe Editor and is slowly being developed.

Overview[]

MetaballDisturbance

Disturbance made of metaballs.

The player can create or edit the creature using metaballs, which are 3d objects that connect to each other smoothly. There may be metaballs with different shapes. These would represent fat, muscles, skin, wood or some other kind of surface. There are also negative metaballs for making holes.[1]

Report[]

This works the same as the one in the Microbe Editor.

Patch Map[]

Ditto.

Editor[]

This is actually split into two parts: Multicellular, and Macroscopic.

Multicellular[]

This is the first of the two variants, and it is simpler.

Structure[]

This is where you place your different cell types. There are three buttons here:

Modify Type (this takes you to the Cell portion)

Delete (this destroys the selected cell type)

Duplicate Type (this is how you create new types of cells)

Reproduction[]

This is where you select how you want your creature to reproduce.

This is the list of ways you can reproduce as of 0.6.1:

Binary Fission (one cell splits into two) (only in Microbe Stage)

Budding (one cell of a multicellular organism splits into two: one stays behind in the old organism, and the other grows into a new one) (only available option in Multicellular Stage)

Asexual (process unknown) (only available option in Macroscopic Stage)

Behaviour[]

Works the same as in Microbe Editor.

Macroscopic[]

This is the more complex version of the Organism Editor, but it is mostly incomplete.

Structure[]

This behaves the same as the Multicellular incarnation.

Internals[]

Not currently implemented.

Behaviour[]

Behaves the same as Multicellular.

Appearance[]

Selectable, but not implemented.

Movement[]

Not currently implemented.

Reproduction[]

Currently, only an Asexual option is available.

Cell[]

This is basically the Microbe Editor inside the Organism Editor.
