Thrive 0.8.3
This release brings achievements and starting planet customization to the microbe stage. Also a new visual ripple effect has been added along with many more smaller bug fixes and new features for the microbe stage. The multicellular prototype has also received quite many improvements, the most major will probably be the fix to the cell layouts not being exactly remembered between editor sessions.

Thrive 0.8.2
This release adds a bunch of new environmental things to the game. There's now water currents that move microbes around along them making sessile cells easier to reach new places. The currents are visualized with particles flowing along them. There's also much more violent events in the form of meteor impacts and a global glaciation events. These events shake up the gameplay with new resources and new challenges like the entire planet surface freezing over and limiting available sunlight to photosynthesisers. Existing players will also notice a reworked and expanded tutorial as well as various graphical changes, a plethora of minor new features, and many bugfixes.

Patch Notes
- Added water currents that affect microbes and particles that visualize the currents
- Added a global glaciation event that reduces light on all surface patches and adds ice chunks
- Added meteor impact events
- Added resolution scaling options to render at lower resolutions for more performance
- Added a loading screen for stages during which graphics are loaded and shaders compiled to reduce stuttering during gameplay
- Implemented the bioluminescent vacuole, though the gameplay impact is minimal so far (the lights look pretty, though)
- Added an option to change the world size when setting up a new game
- Upgraded to Godot 4.4.1 (from 4.3) which has fixed many bugs we had with Godot 4
- Tutorials now have a new mode where only tutorials that haven't been seen before are shown. And the old option of completely turning off the tutorials is now only in the options menu. We hope that this will help returning players who have historically skipped all new tutorials that they hadn't even seen before.
- Added a popup after the welcome tutorial prompting the player to select their preferred 2D movement mode. Hopefully with this change there won't be more feedback on the default movement mode.
- Added 7 new tutorials covering some extra parts of the microbe editor as well as the microbe stage
- Fixed incorrect randomness sampling in the chromatic aberration effect which caused some weird looking edges
- Reordered the organism statistics panel to put less important stats at the bottom and make the compound balances visible without scrolling down
- Removed percentage symbol from the compounds chart
- AI members of the player species dying now affect the population and reproductions give population bonuses
- Added a button to play the game in double speed
- Made organelles in the cell affect environmental tolerances, now the tolerances feature is more strategic as organelles can save on MP that would otherwise be needed to be used in tweaking tolerances
- Increased maximum tolerance debuffs and MP costs
- Added optimal value markes to the tolerances GUI
- Made higher firerate toxins consume less toxin per shot
- Lowered the volume of sound effects from non-player entities by 30 percent

- Increased the radius at which AI cells are no longer forced to move towards the player to "get on stage"
- Buffed chloroplasts 20% to make them a more tempting upgrade from thylakoids
- Iron metabolism no longer depends on co2
- Fixed realism issues in the wording of iron metabolism
- Added a large sulfur chunk variant
- Added a button to view the classic text-based auto-evo report
- Added instant kill protection for the player when the player's health is above a few units of health to prevent deaths from large single damage events
- If the player moves to an empty patch an AI species is now forced to teleport there to ensure the player always sees other species in the environment, even if auto-evo hasn't managed to spread there yet
- Added a 'T' suffix to primary displays of population to finally try to solve the confusion some players have that think that a population of 100 microbes literally means just 100 individuals, whereas in reality there has always been an abstract multiplier for the numbers as entire oceans have very high number of bacteria
- Added an auto-save the first time the editor becomes available
- Tweaked ice chunk visuals
- Updated the look of the hydrogenase organelle
- Added HUD message warnings when binding or engulfing mode ends due to running out of ATP
- Added a graphics option to use low quality background blur for more performance

- Fixed sizing of some tutorials
- Fixed wording in toxin tooltips claiming they use oxygen by default
- Fixed a typo in the auto-evo explanation popup
- Fixed Easter Egg chunk causing warnings

Our focus continues to be on completing as many microbe roadmap items as fast as possible. This time we have many new gameplay features and changes like environmental tolerances, radiotrophy food source, and reworked, full thermosynthesis implementation. No to mention all the smaller GUI improvements, bug fixes and new look for the patch map with all connections drawn as lines. Also a big announcement is that we have decided to split multicellular stage into two: early multicellular is now called just multicellular, and a new stage called macroscopic is what takes over the late multicellular as it was previously called.

This release focused on completing the last 0.7.x roadmap items, most of which were related to the microbe editor. This release has new editor features like a way to control organelle split order and an organelle suggestion. Also a lot of tooltips and other displays in the editor were improved and fixed. Besides the editor there are a lot of microbe stage improvements, the most visible being redone microbe organelle and membrane graphics as well as improvements to the dynamic compounds system.

Thrive 0.7.1
This release brings dynamic oxygen levels to the world that are produced once photosynthesis evolves. We also got a lot of graphics tweaks, and even new experimental graphics effects that can be turned on in the options. And those aren't the only very visual changes as the editor GUI got multiple improvements to give better insight into what auto-evo and cell processes are doing. This release completed most of the 0.7.x release roadmap but a few items couldn't be completed in time so this release was not called 0.8.0, which is now planned to be the version number of the next release.

This release marks the completion of the 0.6.x roadmap. Next up we'll be working through the items on the 0.7.x roadmap. For this release the major features are a new auto-evo algorithm based on miches that should generate much better AI species, and there's now a convolution surface algorithm which gives macroscopic creatures a "skin" in the prototypes. There's also a lot of smaller new features and tweaks to the microbe stage as usual. The last roadmap items to be completed where engulfing balancing and fixing as well as allowing continuing as a related species in easy mode.

Patch Notes
- Added a completely new auto-evo algorithm based on a miche algorithm. This should massively improve the species auto-evo generates.
- Added convolution surfaces to add "skin" to macroscopic creatures to no longer display them just as a collection of metaballs
- Added sprinting ability to get a quick burst of speed
- Updated the compound cloud visuals with a new shader for more textured look
- Added new environmental chunks that emit phosphate
- Added feature to command the player species to migrate to new patches without the player having to move themselves
- Added mucocyst upgrade for slime jet which turns it into a defensive shield
- Added option to switch to a different species on extinction in easy mode instead of getting a game over
- Added a red screen flash as indicator for the player taking damage
- Added customization of toxin toxicity, which allows selecting between more damage per single shot or faster fire-rate
- Increased toxin initial velocity a bit
- Made cell turning speed ramp up much much faster when not pointing at the cursor. This makes the strategy of needing to overshoot the cursor past the direction you want to point at for maximum turning speed unnecessary.
- Microbe AI can now move sideways when trying to reach chunks or other cells
- Fixed eukaryotic engulfing size multiplier to be 2 instead of 1.5
- Prokaryotes now drop smaller cell chunks that are easier to eat
- Buffed dropped cell chunks to have 3x more compounds in them
- Added a cap to how many chunks a dying cell can drop to prevent absolutely massive cells causing issues
- Entering engulf mode without ATP is now possible at the cost of a little bit of health
- Added pilus damage cooldown on ejecting something to prevent ejected cells from immediately dealing massive amounts of pilus damage
- Increased maximum chunk count a bit to hopefully help with visual despawning
- Added buttons to the process panel to toggle individual processes on or off
- Cell colony members now forward messages to the HUD, which for example, allows indigestibility messages to be forwarded to provide info to the player as to why they can't eat something while in a colony
- There's now a few second cooldown before health regenerates after taking damage
- Added experimental siderophore feature that reworks iron gameplay to make it require shooting projectiles at big iron chunks to break off small chunks to then eat them
- Added a basic process panel view to the editor
- Added slider to resize metaball to be placed in the macroscopic editor
- Added simple X-axis symmetry mode to the macroscopic editor
- The prototype rocket launch animation now approximates an orbit entering manoeuvre instead of going straight up
- Tweaked when the low performance warning is triggered
- Fixed a bug where engulfed objects can get stuck in an incorrect state (entities in incorrect state are now force ejected)
- Fixed bug with the events timeline clearing wrong parts of the timeline after 20 generations
- Fixed organelle icons being cutoff in the Thriveopedia
- Fixed species preview tooltips not working in auto-evo explorer
- Fixed species preview tooltips not working in the timeline tab

- Fixed slight visual artifacts with mixing clouds near the screen edges
- Fixed mouse hover panel checked world position under the cursor not taking our distortion shader into account (chromatic aberration option)
- Fixed various aspects of main menu 3D backgrounds 2 and 3
- Fixed multiple places in the editor where too long translations caused issues
- Fixed one 3D background having a particle emitter set to update at a limited framerate
- Fixed not being able to rebind inputs to CTRL, Shift, and ALT
- Fixed bug with rebound keys not displaying in key prompts correctly
- Fixed species colour not applying to all strands of cilia
- Fixed editor timeline global and local buttons being pressable at once
- Fixed word wrap not being enabled for auto-evo prediction panel, which caused issues with too wide GUI controls in some languages
- Fixed radial selection menu text being offcenter
- Fixed bug with editor button staying active while going to a later stage
- Thrive now prints the time when the game is started to log files
- Reduced memory allocations in microbe mutation generation
- Added a shader for iron chunk depletion and slightly updated the iron visuals in general (this is unused currently but is planned to be used in the future)
- Removed old auto-evo configuration options that are no longer used
- Made key prompts queue a refresh on data change instead of loading an updated icon immediately
- Wrote code documentation for BiomeCompoundProperties
- Added backend support for LAWK-locked organelles to be handled by the endosymbiosis system
- Updated some of the code README file badges
- Updated YamlDotNet from 15.3.0 to 16.0.0
- Updated code checking tools version
- Fixed our shader code check not working properly after the Godot 4 upgrade
- Removed old mutation code that the new auto-evo no longer uses
- Improved our threaded run generation script error messages
- Added TODO comments to a few places we could use graphics pooling as new graphics instance creation is one of the heaviest parts of the game in terms of performance currently
- Added more instructions regarding gettext to our setup instructions
- Updated translations

This is a quick small patch release to fix a few major issues that were resolved since the last release. The most major fix is that many more older CPUs should be able to run Thrive now. This problem was caused by a build configuration setting unintentionally targeting much newer CPU instructions than intended.

Patch Notes
- Changed compilation options for the fallback native library that should now work on older CPUs that only have SSE 4.2 and no newer instructions
- Fixed the game getting stuck when selecting 32 native executor threads
- Re-enabled Harmony mod loading as this no longer seems to cause the game to get stuck on start up with Godot 4
- Reduced unnecessary StringName allocations related to key prompt icons and checking pressed inputs
- Updated YamlDotNet from 15.1.6 to 15.3.0
- Updated Jolt Physics Engine version
- Updated translations

Here is a release full of new features to make up for the previous few releases that were light on new features. The main 3 major new features are: endosymbiosis, day/night cycle enabled by default, and toxin customization. These add much more variety to the microbe stage and hopefully make the game significantly more enjoyable. Endosymbiosis allows you to create an endosymbiont organelle from another species giving a free copy of that organelle and unlocking placing that organelle. Day/night cycle has been polished up with some new GUI features in the editor to make it easier to determine if you can survive the night and as such is now enabled by default. The toxin customization feature allows using different toxin types that have different effects for more interesting toxin gameplay. Besides the major features we also have a variety of smaller changes and bug fixes (including one fix for the game freezing during gameplay).

Patch Notes
- Implemented endosymbiosis. It is now possible to engulf other species to turn them into free organelles and also to unlock those organelles in an alternative way compared to the normal unlock conditions.
- Added customization for toxin organelles to select various toxin types that have different effects than oxytoxy
- Added different colours for different toxin types
- Day/night cycle is now enabled by default but can still be turned off
- Added ferroplast organelle, which is the eukaryotic variant of rusticyanin
- Cells spawning close to night time (or during night) get extra resources to help them survive the night
- Buffed cell corpse chunks
- Added alternative unlock condition for oxytoxisome that unlocks it after dying multiple times, this models how prey species can become toxic instead of only predator species having access to toxin
- Added custom inventory item drag icons and updated land tree placeholder model
- Fixed auto-evo mutations code using exceptions for normal flow control, this fixes at least one identified case where the game would freeze completely
- Fixed compound bars when max storage amount is less than 1
- Fixed fluid currents system force not applying, this bug was likely present ever since the ECS refactor
- Fixed iron chunk collision model scaling and fixed their rotation differences compared to the visual models
- Fixed HUD messages font shadow not working
- Fixed a brief flash of the game when exiting the freebuild editor for the first time
- Fixed multiline text edit style not working correctly
- Fixed cheats being able to enable the editor button when already going to the editor which allowed causing a crash in the game by clicking the button again
- Fixed some problems related to multicellular species trying to enter binding mode
- Made AI cells that depend on resources that aren't present during the night be more sessile during it
- Added new GUI and warnings to the editor to show if storage space and compound production during the day is enough to survive the night for photosynthesisers
- Added a display in the editor showing how long each compound takes to fill up, this will hopefully help in planning for how to survive the night with enough resource generation during the day
- Made auto-evo consider surviving the night more to penalize species with not enough storage or resource stocking up during the day
- Created a new custom model for ice chunks to be separate from the particle effects also present in the patch
- Added support for organelle upgrades overriding the base model of the organelle, which will be used more in the future
- Added custom model and icon for injectisome upgrade
- Added custom physics time to metrics panel, this feature was done last December but somehow forgotten to be added until now
- Added support for loading more shape types to our physics engine integration in preparation for use with organelle shapes
- Created custom collision shapes for all organelles to finally properly fix them
- Tweaked glucose reduction effect code a tiny bit to be clearer
- Made orphaned node count in metrics panel ignore intentionally cached nodes
- Improved organelle model data handling to keep model path variables and scenes in a single data container to avoid future mistakes with mixing up data for different scenes
- Fixed some code warnings and fixed a bug in metaball moving that this uncovered where the parent metaball reference was not updated correctly
- Removed unused thermoplast mesh file
- Updated Jolt Physics engine
- Updated YamlDotNet from 15.1.2 to 15.1.6
- Updated xunit from 2.8.0 to 2.8.1
- Updated code checking tools
- Updated translations
