there is an "upgraded" version of each of the protein parts, so its almost always better to use the "upgraded" versions. you couldve got the organelle version of the ammonia producing part, which costs the same mp but produces more and efficiently
yeah, the organelles are generally more efficient than the proteins. however, there's no iron->atp organelle and organelles are big and require a nucleus, which makes your cell larger and thus slower and requiring more ammonia and phosphate to upgrade
I invite you all to check the video on this game by Oliver Lugg, who is part of the dev team. In particular, it explains the adventure that this game traversed to get to where it is right now. And of course, feel free to try it out, and talk about it, that's how this game... thrives.
Oliver Lung is a youtuber that once composed for this game.(he on and off now) he has a video on the history of this game and games like it. it's an awesome video. check it out
Yay Thrive! I'd recommend also reading the information text rather than just the stats. In addition to some scientific information, it also provides information on how it works in the game.
Yeah sadly but it would be op if it not, like once a specie's that I had in my game that just laid there and if anything came near it, it shot all the toxins at you almost killing you instantly.
Congratulations Lathrix, you have managed to accidently make the Venator class star destroyer as a microorganism and i kind of love that. Its kind of weird that it was on your plant run and not your predator run though. XD
I’ve been watching for several years now and I’ve always enjoyed watching your videos. I love the way you go through your thinking and enjoy the way you always try and keep us entertained. Thank you Lathrix!
Super interesting! The devs could probably get an education grant to help produce this if they really wanted, depending on where they're based. Looking forward to more, especially with your background and insights! I'm a biotech nerd myself.
This is a game made by the community, so the devs are a little bit from everywhere. Btw, if you know how to code / have some other artistic talents, they are always looking for some people to help
Man the backwards flagellum was genius, it allowed you to get the speed you wanted and your AI ones didn't burn out themselves and could just continue to grow through their own slow and steady
I've been playing this game on and off for a couple years now: since Spore was my (kinda bad) childhood, this is so important to me. Thank you for bringing this on your channel c:
If all science I've done in school has taught me anything, it's what the parts of a cell are, what they do, and how they do it. If it's available, cillia should be the movement organelle that increases speed in any direction.
I'm studying biology and microbiology and being able to understand what everything means and being able to use what I studied gives me a satisfying feeling, thank you for covering this game
Thrive is one of the coolest games I have ever played, when I first played it was kinda basic and now it is so complex (they added the LAWK option after many years! Thermoplasts!)
@@Ghorda9 spore was like 5 games in one anyway with the slow approach this game is going each part will be more in depth than the spore equivalent. from the looks of it we’re going to at least have 2 maybe even 3 multicellular stages edit: a look at the wiki confirms it will have 3 stages early multicellular late multicellular and aware stage
I like the mid part of the video, where past lathland is like, "Why my species no do good??". And his microbes basically have legs growing out of their faces.
I never really expected to see more of thrive than concept art. These types of ambitious but open source and free products tend to quickly die out after the concept phase as real work begins.
Just got to say, the whole "I wonder if that's real?" and looking it up, from a microbiologist, is great stuff. (also love that the devs include things that are theoretical but also have a switch to disable.)
I'm so glad people are trying out Thrive, more & more! :D It gives a good view on how far the game is developed & it has developed a lot since it's first versions. Very promising progress.
Love that Lath essentially ended up evolving into an early carnivorous plant. Once he got that poison, they started feeding on the other cells that started cropping up even though they couldn't engulf them. They basically adopted the tactic of IRL carnivorous plants where, even if they can't eat the meat like an animal, they break their prey down for nutrients to sustain themselves.
I've been following thrive on and off for a while, but I always just saw it as "another spore what-if, but a bit more realistic" I've always had hope that thrive would... well, thrive! unlike so many other spore-likes before it. But I've only just seen (in this video) the whole "population effectiveness" chart whatever thing. I think this is an amazing feature. It makes it feel like you're really and evolving SPECIES, rather than just one thing that determines the fate of your entire race somehow
Is it weird that I randomly put your longer videos on when I try to sleep in noisy environments and it actually helps me sleep? They aren't boring videos it's just your voice is familiar and it helps drown out the traffic and trains from my new residence and I sleep better
I genuinely hope that one day some highly talented developer with a budget in the upper stratosphere comes along and revisits spore and makes it everything it was supposed to be. But I also don't plan to hold my breath
If there was ever an entire species that could be called a Kevin, I think we just found it. Holy crap, it was, literally, by a gods intervention that this species survived its first 100 my, let alone every 100 my after that. This game is amazing.
This makes me so happy to discover. I really wanted to make a game like this 13 years ago but I was still new to coding and no fucking clue how I'd handle it. Spore wasn't realistic enough for me, who was getting interested in microbiology.
I'd love to see you try and do a "speedrun" of this game. Seems like a rather silly thing, but i believe it would be an interesting challenge? Especially considering how what you evolve into as a strat will cause other offshoot species to become what you are.
I like the fact that u start of a place that is 98c.... that is allmost the boiling point of water and this is where u are going to start life as cell. Good luck u poor poor cell... XD
Spore's best stage is definitely cell stage, but if they succeed at making the creature stage of this game balanced and realistic, it will almost definitely be the best stage of THIS game. And the great thing about Thrive is that unlike Spore, each section of the game is not intended to be a sort of mini-game, but rather an ENTIRE, proper game. You can choose to stay in one stage forever as the world changes and progresses, and I find that really cool. You can already tell they'll stay true to this goal because the cell stage is so clearly fleshed out and designed perfectly to keep going on and not ending until you go extinct.
I would genuinely love to see evolution to land, like your blob gets gradually better at walking with each Era of the species, spread through generations of families, each can have children which would be different in behavior and appearance
41:10 Something similar happened on my first game. Not because I didn't know how they worked (same basic idea to Spore cells and real ones), but because I accidentally put in the bit part you can't delete BEHIND them...and didn't think of trying the "undo" button.
Saw the thumbnail, went to the steam page to check out the trailer. Super excited for this video to see more of the game. It's early access, and super cheap. $4.99... Remember, when games leave EA, they ramp up the price. Nab it while it's cheap.

Ah Thrive. It might never become the spore 2 it wants to be but at least it gave us quality discussion about underwater metallurgy.
Ahh, yes. I do believe that smeltling the meltle should be possible if you have organisms that can survive such temperatures.

I think multiple toxin vacuoles increases the speed of toxin production and the amount you can store, but not the damage each shot does.

Same here this man got me into Stellaris, Teratech and from the depths
This is what I wanted the cell stage of Spore to be
Genius strategy of crippling every splinter species by evolving crap flagella for generations before switching to an effective locomotion method.
Wait... Lath? IN THRIVE?! Oh... Oh my, the species of Lath-daemons is inbound, as quick as higher stages of multicellular are finished!.

would love to see more of this!!! I remember looking into the game ages ago, and was pleasantly reminded with this video. Thank you!
yay lathrix is covering another obscure game i play!
I love how you said you are not going to be hyper aggressive and then just murdered everything
oh. wow. thank GOD finally someone is covering thrive. this game needs support and money.
And developers
Lathland, I haven't watched your videos in a while, but I am absoloutely here for a Thrive playthrough. Also maybe a tutorial on underwater metalwork?
I love that this game is getting some recognition, its been so unheard of for far too long. I see great things for this game
This reminds me of when I started following you , I discover you with plague inc years and years ago!
I never really expected to see more of thrive than concept art. These types of ambitious but open source and free products tend to quickly die out after the concept phase as real work begins.

I'm so glad people are trying out Thrive, more & more! :D
It gives a good view on how far the game is developed & it has developed a lot since it's first versions. Very promising progress.
It's awesome knowing what youtubers real jobs are some of them are so cool.
I love the education along with the entertaining gameplay. Great job on the video!
Its really weird seeing a game you played a few months ago change so much, but its good to see the dev team making progress!

They basically adopted the tactic of IRL carnivorous plants where, even if they can't eat the meat like an animal, they break their prey down for nutrients to sustain themselves.
Never got to play Spore in my youth… but I might need to check this one out!
Thrive is something I wish to see continued in the future.
I’ve been following this game for a while now can’t wait to see where it goes
This is one of my favorite open source games, alongside 0 A.D. and red eclipse.
I’m glad this game is still seeing love
PLANT GANG UNITE! I love playing plantoid organisms. My current build is a animal like carnivorous algae with silicon cell walls. It’s stupid OP

Not immediately obvious but this shows the Origins for one of Lathland's favourite Stellaris race.

Been a while since I checked Thrive out, nice to see the progress they've made!
The fact that you didnt rotate the flagellum and mitochondria detonated my ocd lol, love the vids
Love your videos, man! Keep up the amazing work.
Found this game a while ago, glad it's getting some coverage!
Finaly a detailed character creator that lets players be creative with how their character looks in an RPG

Oh Thrive is still in production? That's great to hear! We really needed a true "spore"

> sets off to create a plant
> acidentally evolves predation
> drives first competitor to extinction
I love this
I love this game! Thank you for playing it :)
More exposure is what this game needs. Thank you
Now this is a game I would like to see continued in the future!!!
You can flip the flagella, it produces speed in the opposite direction it is placed in, so the flagella are just not doing anything
WOW a major youtuber has picked up thrive, this is... interesting.
If there was ever an entire species that could be called a Kevin, I think we just found it.

Definitely gonna need yourself a mitochondria. It's the powerhouse of the cell, after all.
