I'd really like to get it free, and for Mac. My father really doesn't agree with this kind of game and i would really want to have it for Mac. There is features that don't exist in other free Mac-compatible or web browser simulators.
i have a new idea for the next update,intelligent creatures and natural disasters well...more natural disaster well anyway you can only get the intelligent creatures in the sandbox mode at 10 millenia and the new natural disasters could be TSUNAMIS,TORNADOES,FUNGUL INFECTIONS,now that i said that you should add FUNGI!!!
Hey Mate. I just downloaded the game and after a while I decided to check the sandbox mode, and this happened.
This bug is only on sandbox, it is constant and sometimes there is a VERY STRONG bright purple light coming from the terrain hitting my eyes. This lasts for a long time and it briefly stops when I'm placing a plant around, it does not happen on scenario mode. Is it related to my graphics card not being able to endure the game or is this a bug related to something on the game
Also, thank you for the work and the game is looking amazing, i followed you before the Fight and Flight update.
Hi xenopunk0, thanks so much for following for such a long time, and also for reaching out! This is definitely a graphical glitch... it reminds me a bit of the grass problem that older versions of the game had in Linux (OpenGL). If you are not on Linux or on an older version of the game... would you be willing to send over a crash log to thesaplinggame@gmail.com? I might be able to see what is going on in a log file (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\The Sapling\the_sapling_Data) or crash report (C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\LocalLow\Wessel Stoop\The Sapling).
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
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
Hey, thanks so much for your ideas (with illustrations even), and sorry for totally missing them until now. Without making promises, I like your ideas about melanin. Would you claim that animals in sunnier areas of the world are also darker on earth because of this?
I am just saying this because I am currently short of money, but could you make a free version that only allows you to have 1 world, not including the tutorial world?
The world could only have certain maps to play on and you could only make creatures and plants using simple features.

Why don't your father agree with this kind of game?

i think we can all relate to the fact that land animals never emerge and epochs are weird
and custom seasons feel to simple so i think this could solve it
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

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