Biology Amendment
Preface:
Biology is a very important aspect of technology, any sufficiently advanced civilization needs an understanding of it. As things like CRISPR gene editing were invented surprisingly long ago, it's only natural that biology, and biotech are expanded upon.
§1-populations
a: An ecosystem system will be implemented into the economy.
b: this ecosystem will function as a variable for every animal, plant, and fungi species (or group of species) that moves up or down in accordance with the number of prey/predators, as well as external factors like the environment itself, and of course human intervention.
c: conservation programs are to be implemented. A conservation program is defined as an organization, private or charity, that contributes to preserving native fauna and flora, as well as the environment itself.
d: the starting population of every species must be above 500.
e: populations are simple calculated numbers, of the original population + new members - removed members
f: populations can change naturally, where they fluctuate according to natural events and in relation with each other, or artificially, whether by hunting, or otherwise removing an organism from the environment.
g: every island counts as a separate environment, and thus has its own population counts.
h: artificial environments can be made, examples including but not limited to: Zoos, Aquariums, Conservation areas.
i: pets are not counted to a population. They are instead their own variable just to keep track, and can be introduced artificially to an environment.
j: every citizen/player in the economy has their own variable of pets. They have a separate variable for every species of pet they have.
k: pets are a commodity, and can be sold
l: every organism’s reproduction is tracked.
m: A fitness stat is assigned depending on how many competitors it has, how abundant its food is, and how many more predators there are then half an organism’s population.
n: an organism’s number of offspring is determined by its genes, multiplied by its (fitness ÷ 2).
o: a species is considered endangered if the sum of all its populations is less than 500.
p: a species is considered critically endangered if the sum of all its populations is less than 100.
q: a species is considered extinct if the sum of all its populations is 0
r: a species that is extinct cannot naturally return ever.
s: if a species is extinct, a cloned organism of that species can be reintroduced, and it will be considered extant again.
t: “extant” is defined as any species that the sum of all its populations is above 1.
u: any population that is below 50 has the inbreeding debuff, and the fitness of all organisms in that population is halfed.
§2-genetics
a: every species has a list of phenotypes and genes for it
b: gene can be either dominant or recessive.
c: if an organism has one or more dominant allele, that showcases as a phenotype on the organism above the recessive gene.
d: both the behavior or structure of an organism can be influenced by its phenotype.
e: a gene editing system will be implemented.
f: any gene can be edited to be any other.
g: genes will be shown as a list of different traits that can be selected.
h: genes can be unlocked through research as their own tech tree.
i: absolutely every part of an organism’s biology is determined by its phenotypes.
j: genes can be passed from one organism to its recorded offspring.
k: every organism is assigned its own unique “DNA strand” that is always a random string of G, C, T, and A (ex: “CGATATGCAT”). This string must always be an even number of characters long, and be more than 2 characters long.
l: “Gene editing” will be an unlockable technology.
m: gene editing technology will allow you to see, copy, or edit not just an organism's genes, but also its DNA strand.
n: if an organism is dead, you can see and copy, but not edit its genes.
o: every two generations that an organism has been dead, more of its DNA strand will be obscured. If the species the organism belongs to is extant, the DNA stand will become fully visible again by copying and pasting another DNA stand into a separate text box, that second DNA strand must be from another organism from the same species.
p: if a corpse’s species is extinct, you do not need the DNA strand from the same species. Instead you may use one from any organism within the same category of species as the organism the original DNA strand belongs to.
q: if a corpse has been dead for more than 15 generations, its DNA strand will be fully obscured, and cannot be recovered from the corpse.
§3-cloning
a: any organism can be cloned from its DNA strand. This clone will have all the same genes as the original, and have the same DNA strand assigned. Essentially an exact copy of the original.
b: when cloning, there is a 90% chance that the clone will be imperfect. This can range from a single changed gene, to 80% of its genes being changed. This chance can be reduced by a person’s education, and by more advanced cloning technology.
c: “Cloning” will be an unlockable technology, but can only be unlocked after “Gene editing”
d: if a person is attempting to clone an organism from a DNA strand that has not already been assigned to an organism, the resulting organism’s genes will be completely random.
§4-death
a: if an organism’s fitness is ever below a certain threshold, it will be considered dead.
b: a dead organism is not counted to any population.
c: a dead organism will leave behind a corpse. This corpse can still have its genes and DNA strand accessed.
d: corpses remain in an environment, and are counted as a food source to any carnivore in the environment.
e: every generation, a corpse has a 50% chance to be eaten. An eaten corpse does not exist, and is no longer in the environment.
f: a corpse can be artificially removed from an environment by a person.
g: if a corpse has existed for longer than 10 generations, it has a 99% chance to be decomposed, a 0.99% to be fossilized, and a 0.01% chance to become naturally preserved.
h: any corpse can be preserved artificially.
i: a preserved corpse keeps all of its genes and DNA strand completely intact and visible.
j: a fossil can be put on display, and gives entertainment as well as education to anyone who views it. This opening the opportunity for museums and fossil collections.
k: fossils can be researched to lean the date they died, what their phenotypes would have been, what species they are, and how they behaved.
l: it takes labor to extract natural fossils.
m: when this amendment has been fully coded and released, it will start off with fossils already existing, only of species that are implemented already extinct.
n: preserved corpses of extinct pre-extinct species can be found, but much more rarely, and sometimes can have up to 50% of the DNA strand visible.
§5-legally
a: this amendment is to be implemented to the economy game after the game’s release, as soon as the programmers are able, or as soon as everything of higher priority is completed.
b: this amendment may be simplified when added to the economy game, but it should resemble what's described as much as possible.
