It was starting to look like the number of species I had on my hands was increasing but it’s important to note that early species often only reach a population of 2 before dying off in this game.
More interesting is that the dominant species, Primum specium has more variety in its members than in the world as a whole at the time of taking these pictures.
These animals are all Primum specium.
I didn’t stop at observing the native species, however. I also took some time to toy with the environment. The first two pictures above show a machine I used to increase the fertility of the land around it to 0.75, just enough to gradually increase the fertility and maintain a reasonable level of food and on the right is a picture of a lake I flooded by increasing the water level by 0.1.
I took to sight seeing for a while and took some screenshots of some interesting animals I’d spotted. The bottom right picture is of the fertile patch I’d created with that machine from earlier. With 28 resident species and a population easily over 600, I decided to reduce the land’s average fertility by 0.1.
