I soon want to turn attention towards creating a solidified concept streamlining a lot of previous thought strung all over the place into something a bit more cohesive. Before I do that, I want to discuss implementation details based on the thoughts raised by @Titan here: > [@Patch Map Design Discussion](https://forum.revolutionarygamesstudio.com/t/patch-map-design-discussion/597/130): > > I have already stated that I would like to see more patches in the game. Particularly new patch types that allow players and auto-evo to evolve more unique and environment specific microbes. In general, I would like to see patches that represent environments with unique advantages and challenges. Examples of some interesting patches would be: Hot springs, which would allow photosynthesis, chemosynthesis and thermosynthesis in the same patch. This would also enable possible sulphur photosynthe… I think Titan brought up a very nice way of organizing and presenting information on a pretty complex area of our simulation, where a lot of things can really go wrong and where we want to provide some level of standardized experience. It makes me think that if we wished, we can represent a lot of information like temperature and compound changes through these Patch Events/Traits. Things like representing warming with a temporary “Warming” trait, or dropping temperatures with “Cooling” instead of having a really complicated system in the background doing these potentially hard to balance events. I think the assumption here has always been that there will be this really complex planetary simulation dealing with matters like this. I’m not necessarily against this at all, but I guess my question is: are we able to/should we simplify that down? Or would it be easier from a software design perspective to deal with things in that more dynamic way? --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.revolutionarygamesstudio.com/t/patch-dynamic-environment/1108)._
