I'm not sure Algae even have an electric signature. The Lawnkeepers mostly rely on their brain and what little emshadows they can perceive around them.

The lawnkeepers have only one sense, so they must know they've bumped into algae somehow, right? Plants do have an electric signature.

Neat.

Still, I more saw it as them wandering around known areas for seagrass, bumping it, then doing their thing to graze and gather.
Magma, how sensitive are the eyespots? Can they see plant signatures?

If they do in fact navigate by shadow or whatever, then change that to Improve spines to mimic the shape of algae fronds, to lure the bees

That's neat. It's occupying a similar niche as the trapdoor spider does on land. We haven't really had an evolutionary arms-race over speed yet (though some slow creatures have been outcompeted), most of the animals/proto-animals here are quite ponderous.

Yes, lawnkeepers can locate and differentiate electric signatures around them by type and intensity. But they can't really do much else.

Turn 19



The Events

Power: 46
Temperament: 7



The Actions
Spoiler (click to show/hide)



The World

The seamount weakly erupts from its eastern exit, lifting the Çay uplift a ten or so meters up to the ocean surface and marginally expanding it.

This has made this habitat a little more spacious and hospitable place. Carrying capacity of Çay has increased from five to seven.

Vascular Pinecovy is extinct.

The turn which I promised to draw a cladogram on approaches. And I have no idea how to draw it lol.

You guys have been very lucky so far. I expected at least a single mass extinction to occur by this point.

Well, just know that I won't hesitate to blank those habitats if the dice says a 100-1.

Anything wrong with those dice? the gamble just went through fairly normally. (If not for the SS6.)

Team X2
 Neat Sarpesium speciates, SS Rolls to All. (All develop community/hunting tendencies)
\First version focused on a stronger brain, to organize others.
 \Second Version focused on better sight, to spot strange things.
  \Third Version focused on a better jet, to hunt down prey.
   \Fourth Version develops electrical generation, to incapacitate.

The time of extinction hath come. Bunker down, it's time for a frenzy
