Environmental Tolerance Adaptations

Based on the polls:

It looks like players largely agree and look forward to a system that allows entering biomes you are not tolerated for, with associated penalties. So if there are no objections to this concept, I can update the related wiki page with the list of penalties I put in the post above this one. @Buckly what are your thoughts on the system. Once finished with the penalty system, we can design the organelles that grant environmental tolerance:

Here is a working list of the adaptations, from the "Differentiating Microbe Biomes" thread:

Temperature

  • Heat Resistant Proteins
  • Antifreeze Proteins
  • Cell Wall (Cellulose, chitin, silicate, etc.)

Pressure

  • Higher/Lower Internal Osmotic Pressure
  • Contractile Vacuole
  • Cell Wall (Cellulose, chitin, silicate, etc.)

Light

  • Pigment Proteins
  • Cell Wall (Cellulose, chitin, silicate, etc.)

pH

  • Acid Neutralizing Proteins
  • Alkaline Neutralizing Proteins
  • Cell Wall (Cellulose, chitin, silicate, etc.)

Salinity

  • Halophilic Proteins
  • Cell Wall
