Here’s my plan on cell type specialization implementation that I’ll try to finish this week so that we have a big new headline multicellular feature for 1.0.1 release:
- Update the microbe editor for multicellular mode to show a new specialization stat (as a percentage) that has an explanation tooltip and a count of the most common organelle
- Create a calculation code for getting the specialization factor from a given list of organelles
- Update the editor ATP, compound etc. balances to take specialization into account. If I understood right, the specialization is wanted to just be a multiplier on the overall bioprocess speed. This is nice as I think it’ll be easy to implement and still have quite a big impact.
- Update the cell body plan editor to also take specializations into account
- Update the cell external buffs component to have a new bioprocess speed multiplier
- Hook up the process system to use that and the multicellular cell spawning to correctly read and apply the bonus from the species for a spawned cell
