I think there could be multiple types of plants apart from just grass and normal plants lilly pads for the water as an aquatic plant cactuses for dry parts and maybe moss can evolve from microalgae and then develop into plants instead of a normal algae evolving into a giant plant to make it more realistic.

Also if you add small plants maybe you could add small animals(insects) but to avoid simulating millions of insects you can just make it so that every insect species lives in a specific area and has a specific population and you can use that information to generate insects close to the camera in random places when the player is nearby and when they go away and come back you can just generate them again in random places so you don't have to simulate things when they are not loaded and only when they have to be. Ngl I think the game could really use insects because imagine finding a giant mosquito irl it looks so weird so if you're trying to add arthropods it would be SO much better if they were small and only loaded when needed.

is there an option to see and edit detritus so i can see where mushrooms can grow and add more so that they can?

I love this game it definetly deserves more players maybe if a famous youtuber like ishowspeed or dantdm played it it would get more attention but also i think another way to get players is with videos that have a name that make it impossible to ignore like when the "I'm adding SEX to my evolution simulation game the sapling" that video has more views than any other video in the channel so maybe if you made something like "I'm adding RACISM" or "I'm adding DATING" or something like that would make more people click the video and then they learn about this game  but idk how they would add racism or dating

like the highlight from roblox studio

and put something to enable mutations for fungi and to remove sexes because i accidentally added 4 sexes

why dont you make it so that when you click an animal to spectate it the animals that are camouflaged to it appear highlighted in red because it cant see them and the animals to which it is camouflaged to appear highlighted in green because they cant see it

Yay there are gonna add mushrooms

yes but good thing one year is 2 second

but land life only emerges at like 1000 millenia so intelligent life should be like rarer and we do need fungi

well it should actually be radiation 1 3 and 5 because its really dark at sun radiation 3

the logo could just be a red sun

its easier for everyone just using images because theres more context

yes and thats why people in deserts have a darker skin color and in europe they are as white as snow

i made the melanin thing because i accidentally placed the sun instead of the thermometer in the season image and btw "dark forest" is just like saying custom names could be a thing

the leaf is soil fertility and the sun is solar radiation which makes animals have to be a darker color or have an option of "melanin production" which means they will get darker the more they stay on the sun if there is high sun radiaton and "melanin loss" which means their skin color will get lighter with time if there is no sun radiation and minimum and maximum melanin which are the darkest and lightest color the animal can be to avoid it getting too dark or too light

and custom seasons feel to simple so i think this could solve it

i think we can all relate to the fact that land animals never emerge and epochs are weird

u can only play in laptop i think

you cant i think

an example picture

they could have a lot of like hairs in them like in real life in some images i have seen

with spore droppers i mean a body part for plants that drops spores because i dont think that those body parts even have a name

is it only on steam?

how do i test the experimental branch of the food and fire update?

and also amphibian animals that can evolve from aquatic animals with special feet that can swim and walk and then evolve onto land animals or onto aquatic animals again but being able to stay more time in land, aquatic plants that are just plants that evolve back onto water and have leaves and flowers, also corals in the ocean that can evolve from algae and change color and size.

i have an idea for an update that makes ecosystems interact more with each other: mushrooms can be edited, they would have a poison system to avoid some animals eating them, they can have patterns and be poisonous for animals, or make the animal resistant to a poison type or to lower or higher temperatures but animals will evolve to be resistant to that poison type or that temperature, that can unlock new body parts that can only evolve by eating mushrooms, they spread by spores which  can attach to animals and each specific amount of seconds a mushroom will grow where the animal is in that current time, mushrooms can grow mycelium that can make plants help each other, like passing water to another plant that needs it, also mushroom spores can grow into moss, a new plant type like grass that can increase a place's shallow water, which will mean that now places get dryer over time, then moss can evolve into grass or ferns and ferns can evolve onto plants. Plants will also change, making them instead of evolving seeds evolving spore droppers which are like mushroom spores, the spore droppers can evolve to drop more spores or evolve into seeds. And the last thing is a fruit growing animation, if a fruit is curved it will grow straight and then it will curve or a round fruit just growing bigger or a long fruit that gets longer, fruits changing colors while they grow like strawberries and that fruit poison is low and while the fruit gets older the poison intensity rises so animals have to eat the fruit while its still young and a sugar level for fruits that can make the fruit give more energy and body parts that make the animal more or less sugar resistant to absorb more sugar. I would like to see some or one of these features or something similar.
