Everyone looks acceptable. But there a few people who will have minor penalties for their trait.

@Puppyguard: Toxins resistance is fine and won't effect your starting population. But the energy required to keep up lots of bacteria in the blood will increase the amount of food required for population growth.

@NUKE9.13: I'd advise you to start with a different trait. At that size, you're going to be breading fairly rapidly.

@Crazyabe: I think you start with 12, but I just did the math in my head, so I could be totally wrong. Being poisonous will have the same problems with being venemous (lower starting population and slower reproduction due to the energy cost of creating toxins).

@aDwarfNamedUrist: Does your trait mean many individuals come together to form the blobs?

Alright. I figured I'd be getting eaten fairly rapidly as well, but I can change it to nothing.

No, each individual becomes a blob.

What do they look like when not a blob? Your description just says its tiny.

It would look like a dust mite

Name of species: Chitter
Description of species:  A small swimming creature with a long black body trailing behind a three-pronged beak.  Along it's sides are smaller beaks that open and close to produce a distinctive clicking sound.  When first born they have but the single mouth and head, though after breeding they begin forming smaller ones down it's sides in-place of giving birth to normal offspring.  The smaller mouths are baby chitter's who stay embedded inside their parents flesh until there is a sufficient abundance of food for them to live on their own.  As well, when the mother is attacked and in peril, the offspring will leave her body and attack or flee from the source of danger depending on how much larger it is than the parent.
Number of species: 10
Size of species: 10 inches, x 2 inch
Nivore number: 0
Trait:Budding offspring-The chitter needs only breed once in it's lifetime to continue producing more parasitic offspring who cling to the parents till there is adequate conditions for them to survive on their own.  Once offspring have budded off, the parents will regrow more over time though they are lacking the defensive ability of being able to release the swarm of biting offspring to ward off predators.

Name of species: Moplural
Description of species: Tiny little creatures that hide in cracks from predators, whilst feeding on [plankton/similar organisms] and plants
Number of species: (100/(0.5*0.5))*2 = 800 * (trait cost) = ?
Size of species: 0.5*0.5
Nivore number: 8
Trait: Rapid Breeding - Moplurals are small and tasty. One would expect them to go extinct in a heartbeat. However, there just always seems to be more of them. They breed twice as fast as other species (As in, require half the amount of food). None, as apparently I don't need this trait to breed rapidly.

Trait viabilty/cost check on Rapid Breeding, plz.
Also do let me know if this sort of build makes no sense whatsoever. I just saw everyone else going for 'big predator' and thought, hey, there's an ecological niche free for 'tiny herbivore'.

Can i get a physical description of them? Are they like tiny shrimp or what?

I'm not sure how complex their appearance can be, but sure, tiny shrimp or thereabouts. Really simple, though. They exist to fill a niche, and they breed sufficiently to fill that niche until nothing else can fit in it- they have no time for frills.

I made a slight modification to my species, a sense of smell should allow them to find more food, so it would be unnecessarly restictive for them to only feed on plants

I' m assuming that a sense of smell does not impact the initial population,  tell me if i'm wrong.

So. Many. Species. The IC is up.

Alright. Can I evolve basic photosensitivity for a single EP?

EP? What is that?

[vishdafish]

evolution point, presumably

Edit: Would basic heat detection cost 1EP?
