There needs to be a Gills Evo that is unlocked by fin. It should swap all land tiles with water tiles and the next time you enter a body of water Gills activates

you will now take damage outside of water as a status effect like rain heat and cold (unless it's raining)

Damage and speed will go up by 5% when in water

and water terrain adaptation will + 10-20% and land terrain adaptation will go down by - 10% but slither will remain but only in water

how exactly does the game calculate damage? for instance on steam i still dont have the bruter or ultrabonk ones, yet i just finished an exctiction 8 run where my spur was hitting anywhere from 5000-19000 damage.... yet i still dont have the deal 500 damage achievement? i still according to steam hit a max hit of 288, and a run damage max of 27500, but.... i was 2 hit killing day bosses on extinction 5? im just a bit confused how things are calculated?

So far I’ve found poison sequestration of snout and primal spurs can scale infinitely into the late game. Any other cool evos I’m unaware of?

splicing not giving you new options if you restart too soon is pointless. you can just purposely die and get new options, regardless of how soon said death was.

Ngl there is only 2 non-boss enemy that drops fish so the piscivore evolution is not that good. Add something like a mini-biome that you can access be being in the middle of a lake where it brings you underwater? Maybe new enemies in the underwater area? Something small like that would be great.

If yes, how?

Uninstalling the game and reinstalling it, telling steam not to keep any data didn't work. Still had all the genetics unlocked, etc.

I want to play through the journey of unlocking things again. I also want to have a smaller pool of possible genetics to pull from for splicing.

I‘ve just been trying to get up to pressure 20 and unlock the last gene I don’t have yet, but I keep getting my butt kicked. And it only gets harder and worse from here… what am I doing wrong to have more consistent runs?

Does the game's RNG take into account time spent in a given biome for rolls for adaptations for that biome? I.e. am I more likely to roll 'scales' if I hang out in the desert the whole game, or is it just as likely if I'm in snow the whole time?

Edit: spelling.

Just had the thought today since the Stomach evolution doesn't have any specializations.

Gizzard could allow you to pick up stones if you can't already, and increases feeding speed based on how many stones are in your inventory.

Livestock (or whatever better name you can think of) could give a very small bonus to body size every time you eat food.

Make enemies attack and move slower at night?

Right now night upgrades r kinda useless except for getting sense and making enemies weaker at night would also help out in the early games

Rest - passive evolution
Depending if you have diurnal or nocturnal.
Picked diurnal, 2% xp per second during the day, 3% xp per second during the night
Picked nocturnal, 2% xp per second during the night, 3% xp per second during the day
If you haven’t picked either 2.5% xp per second
Only gives xp if you aren’t moving

You get this evolution by getting 10 lvl with basking

It doesn't actually make things giant it just makes you smaller and makes your camera smaller aswell, so you can't see anything. The only somewhat viable strategy I have been able to find is to go as small as I can myself, that gives me some room to dodge, but then all the enemies and bosses take 1 trillion hits while I have to dodge every attack perfectly. Last attempt I made it to krabken and I just had to dodge around everything, but he spawns endless minions and I simply don't have a short enough dodge refill to dodge all of their infinite attacks.

I was having a lot of fun with the game but now it's just not fun anymore.

EDIT: Finally beat the challenge, thanks for all your tips!
