This page collates all the information we can be bothered to write about the community that surrounds Thrive. You won't find information about content in the game here, but what you will find is just as extraordinary. Why does Thrive like goats and disco so much? What forum games shaped the community? Are there any Thrive memes? These questions and more shall be answered in the following articles. And it's not all silly either, including a timeline and history of Thrive.
Thrive Universe (TU) - A Community-built World[]
Thrive Background Information - Behind The Screens[]
Culture - The Memes and the Themes[]
This section will explain the inside jokes, memes, and overall culture of the Thrive community.
- Smeltal the meltal - The meme originates from the never-ending debate of whether underwater civilizations could be possible. An argument often made in defense of underwater civilizations is to smelt metal using hydrothermal vents, and it quickly became a meme among the community. The title originates from highlight of a Thrive Podcast in 2017 which was immortalized here. “But wait! What if they can use the hydrotermical vents to smeltal the meltal?”
- Disco mode - One of the glitches in an older version of Thrive made the nucleus flash. This was dubbed "disco mode" and then became a recurring meme, and even an idea for a possible cheat code for the game. (Fun fact: there was a disco mode theme for an April fools version of Thrive)
- The Uteen - Notable for their outlandish language and broadcasting "Buy 20.5 toothbrushes" to everyone. Mostly specific to the user that created them, who used a hyperdimentional transitional hypothetical message-o-mat for their signature.
- Nike Shoes - An icon for proteins resembled a shoe with the Nike swoosh, instead of the intended usage of a T-bone steak on the ground. Naturally, a developer made the comparison. Origin: Thrive Developer Forums, TheCreator, 16 July 2016
- Banana Biome - The 0.4.0 version had a bug which turned the current biome into a yellow with a black stripe background. The user Colt44 called it the Banana Biome while reviewing the version. In October 2019, zenzonegaming made the thread Banana biome cul- uh we mean group! (definitely not a cult!) and a reboot.
Forum Games[]
