My main focus will be:

- Finishing [the most important parts](https://forum.revolutionarygamesstudio.com/t/multicellular-auto-evo/1214/20) of Multicellular auto-evo.  
\*Finishing up the Axon feature. I think the mechanics are all there, but it needs more tuning.

With if there’s time:

- Finishing up the environmental tolerance rework.
- More auto-evo.

I’d also like to continue with working on the Macroscopic designs in between.

> For 1.9 I’m planning on trying to do at least one of the optional features that would otherwise be skipped so that we have a bit more multicellular content. As @Kashnox is taking care of the digestive complex / external digestion, I won’t try to do the same thing. So there is some other optional feature I should tackle. Suggestions are welcome! I do want to make one feature that provides a good amount of benefit for the effort I estimate it to be.

- If extracellular digestion succeeds, I think “background/2.5D cells” would be a powerful combo, since it would allow real stomachs.
- Non-cell parts have potential as well, but if we’re not going with fake cell-like objects, then to really make use of it we need more models, so it seems like mainly a system used by volunteers in the future?
- reproductive cells are fine, but not so transformative I think.
- If we think none of these are really worth the effort, there is always the Cnidocyst, which I believe we have a model for now.
