News and discussion about Thrive, the ambitious open source evolution game.
Thrive
Thrive is a game about the development of life, from the formaton of the first cells to galactic civilizations. Thrive is free and open-source; our development is powered by dedicated volunteers with a passion for the project. We are always looking for new developers, and if you want to join us to help bring our many concepts to life faster, send us an email!
Our team seeks to accomplish two major goals:
We plan to immerse the player in a procedurally generated and evolving world filled with the wonders of science, and to allow them to manipulate the virtual world around them in any way they please. Our game will contain multiple editors where players can create and modify technology, culture, organisms, and entire solar systems.
Thrive takes many games as inspiration, from roguelikes to grand strategy games, but we plan on walking our own path with many game mechanics, so don't expect a clone.

It's just me or no?
I bought the game on Steam recently. However, I can't play, when I click on new game, a screen appears showing some living being and after that the game queues up on a black screen and stops responding.
I've already lowered the graphics to the minimum possible, but I still can't play.
Though I'm excited for the game. (It's just funny to me...I hope I don't offend.)
So, honestly I just want this because I want surface level locations which I can use Hydrogen Sulfide organelles for some reason.
Any plans for Volcanic Coast tiles?
Also, on the subject of feeding my organisms with everything in sight but slightly off topic, was there a pressure-based organelle being planned, is there multiple toxins planned, and is there an organelle that allows an engulfing cell to neutralize toxins planned?
I don't actually know the plans for anything, but am very excited for future updates regardless of the answers.
What if the industrial stage has a version of the internet or sone thing like that since it’s meant to be the Industrial Revolution till the species becomes interstellar
I’m relatively new to the thrive community and it looks mostly complete
how to eat chitin organisms
You need lystome,edit it and click cellulase
when i entered multicellular stage i created my organism with a core in the very center and other support cells in the sides but when i hit continue i started as other cell that couldent survive, then i thought that maby i missplaced the core cell but when i entered the editor my multicell was all messed up, attack cells in the midle, the shape was completly different, there was no core. Is this intencional? , some sort of mutation sistem? and how do i prevent this, i want it to stop? maby i am blind or something but i didnt saw any button like "turn cell variation off" , can someone help me please?
These bacteria consume my excess ammonia and phosphate (from their less fortunate siblings), then reproduce and do photosynthesis for me.
(In real life, ciliates of genus Kentrophoros live by eating their symbiotic bacteria like this.)
I´m struggling here.
Pls help
So that iron spawned within my multi-celled structure.
Thankfully we are slowly multiplaying, so the editor should free me, but is this common?
I collected enough resources to edit my cell and suddenly the editing menu is blank, except it now has a {0} and {1} in the top left.
Did I somehow create a new species in the same game? Is this a bug?
If it's a feature, could someone please tell me how I can move from the blank screen and back to my existing cell?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: I force-closed the game and replayed the last segment. This time there was no issue.
The {0} and {1} mentioned in my original post were on the "Report" page.
