I'm working on the simulation algorithm for Planetary Life to improve the diversity of species, and after running the game for two hours at maximum speed, I can say the changes are working pretty well.

Let's start with these sea creatures...

Also, the catalog of existing species looks good!

However, this catalog is showing any creature with small mutation. I should do some changes here so I the game can identify who is a new specie and who is just a creature with a small mutation.

During this run, it ended up with planet where 41.62% creatures were carnivores 🍖, but just a 0.16% of them were herbivores 🥗.

The rest (58.22%) are small microorganism eaters 🦠.

By the way, this planet was mostly water, but this small patch of land with a forest looks good!
