Species ALRE Forums

The game crashed when I tried to click on a creature on the map. Daisy, daaaiiisssyyyyy... Sorry! The game hit a problem I didn't anticipate and Species had to quit. If you email the bug report below to qu.quasar@gmail.com, I can look into it and might even be able to find out what caused this mess....

Using the map editor, lower terrain on an ocean map so that it's below sea level. Load the map, and you'll see that the underwater terrain gets assigned a land biome. Another, possibly related bug: After loading an edited map, exit and return to the map editor. The edited map will be shown, but atte...

When you get around to making a better damage model, try to account for the facing required to use a given part. A triceratops had to face a predator to use its horns, while a porcupine backs into them; a raptor has hind limbs that can latch onto prey while a wolf doesn't.

The three types of buoyancy are positive, negative and neutral. An object that floats in the water is known as being positively buoyant. An object that sinks to the bottom is negatively buoyant, while an object that hovers at the same level in the water is neutrally buoyant. Don't be a pedant. The ...

Starting creatures are terrible swimmers that float like corks, even if they're aquatic. This causes them to float up and away from food on the bottom, especially while sleeping, which often causes them to die from exhaustion/starvation later. What really makes this irritating is that, in the real w...

Note: I am on Windows 10, with an Nvidia RTX 2070 GPU. Terrain: Terrain that was above water before being lowered via the map editor is always considered above water for plant life. I think I fixed this by eroding it again? Terrain sometimes just doesn't respect its above/below water status in gener...

The next version will allow you to customize the starting creature, which should help. Maybe Quasar will finally fix the excessive buoyancy while he's at it; an urbilaterian should sink like a rock. As for the ideal temperature for the current aquatic starter, they need a tropical reef; set the surf...

The herbivore population might just be too low for a stable predator population. That said, more behaviors and mechanics would help make creatures more adaptable, so depending on what Quasar implements, he might be able to make it work: Stealth would allow predators to get closer without being spott...
