Omg I just got The Sapling (a game) and I'm letting stuff evolve on my own workd thingy and I did not expect plot twists...
First, I made algae that would float in the water as dots so it could evolve into much more, then, after a few timeskips, I realised they won't be able to actually evolve they're stuck as algae with occasional coloyr differences.
Then, I make some rooted algae. I plabt it and timeskip, unfortunately it died quickly after the timeskip 😔
I also notice that it tried evolving but the evolved species died before the original. Then, I check the list of species after this algae died. I notice a species called Walitum with 2 members alive! I get excited bc it managed to evolve in the nick of time and survive, though it was a little confusing how it managed to get over an area of ocean too deep for it to survive: I imagine it must have floated over or something.
Then, I make a new species of rooted algae in a different spot to everything else but not far away
Finally, I mive back to Walitum and check the family tree
IT EVOLVED FROM THE FLOATING ALGAE THAT I THOUGHT COULDN'T RVOLVE MUCH
:0
Omg
ALSO, I think it's escaping the water so I'm gonna have plantssssssss
