I just feel like they saw people complaining that the sandworms weren't in no mans sky and CR just went "People want sandworms, put a sandworm in! Quick!"

Then it would not be earth like now, as in now, would it.
Would it be earthlike before comet killed of dinosaurs? Was it earthlike without oxygen event? It was. The top of the foodchain bacteria changed environment to an oxygen based, still earthlike. If it was methane producing bacteria it would still be, yet life would find another way
Ah, I thought you werd arguing that the outcome of evolutionaire is deterministische, the Spanish spaceman was to illustratie hoe Different things would be. But yes, on a different level the general principles would indeed be the same.
I have absolutely no idea - but surely there is someone far more imaginative and artistically inclined than me who can come up with some believable (or unbelievable) concept of light fixating organisms that may use something other than magnesium for energy capture
Like this
They already up the requirement by stating Season 3 will requir 64 bit and directx 11 graphic card will be minimum requirement.

The DX11 is upping the requirement, but 64bit not really. I can't imagine anyone still has a 32 bit CPU that expects to be able to keep playing games, and any system purchased in the past 7 years would at least have Windows 7 - if not Windows XP 64bit.
We were talking about life, you mentioned earth like (in the sense of earth analog, from your source: (also referred to as a Twin Earth, Earth Twin, or Earth-like planet, though this latter term may refer to any terrestrial planet)) in the last post or so, moving goal posts? enough OT
Alien.
I was talking about earth like, and even said that. You started talking about life. I have on multiple occasions tried to tell you otherwise but you ignored it. No moving goal posts, you have just been off topic, and I have tried to steer you back with not much success.
I wanted to check on his CitCon predictions post...but I couldn't find it. I did notice though, he last posted on this thread on the 30th. Anyway, I'm thinking even he was a bit off on what would be shown.
Perhaps those internet champion contracts are done monthly.
Yeah, after life you mentioned planet being like earth:
If you meant by that 'earth analog where cyanobacteria already holocausted all other life through oxygen generation', sorry, misunderstood you. Still not guarantee to get same evolution. If there was no comet killing dinosaurs you would probably be using fangs to write that
Meanwhile, on Reddit:

Given the lack of, um, certainty about 'SC release timeframes', this seems a little harsh.

Not really what I was getting at. NPCs having time-dependent patterns is relatively straight forward.
It's getting it to scale to full planetary via procgen (for thousands of planets) and running in realtime in a way that adds value to a game, that's Frontier's task. No Man's Sky is an example of how it can be seen to go wrong.
We don't have any idea how CIG are looking to solve it either.
Ouch. Are they really punishing their own backers who express concern that what was promised to them may not be actually delivered?
Pretty interesting discussion on evolution here...nice!
I love taking thought experiments in this realm.
For example, intelligence/success on Earth is shaped by a volatile and ever-changing climate. The species that have survived the longest or have covered more the planet surface are creatures most capable of adaptation to environments. Us humans, have achieved what we believe to be the apex of intelligence/success on Earth. Though our abilities of abstraction we are able to make predictions and prepare accordingly. A few animals exhibit glimmers of this but no animal has quite gone as far to make even the short-term predictions humans can make.
Now, what if we are looking at a stable planet. Has existed just as long as Earth and has very similar conditions and composition except for volatility. Let's say that tectonic activity is either dead or very mild, orbit around its star is un-perturbed by an excess of other objects, the planet is well protected from impact either from a helpful planet nearby or the system was just clear of many objects and the star is an unremarkable but incredibly consistent (temperature) and long lived dwarf star.
Without that occasional kick in the pants, does life on this planet ever evolve beyond bacteria? How much of evolution is driven by pure competition between hunters and the grazers and how much of it is from being better at surviving a changing world. I think it is tough to think along this path because we are children of that volatile and violent world. Our entire perspective and understanding of the universe is completely shaped by those facts. Anyway, in my fantasy scenario above, I'd predict it would be dominated by mega-fauna (dinosaurs). The competition race just amps up over the billions of years and hunters and grazers just get bigger and bigger with no catastrophic changes that invalidate that path.

Maybe because the message the higher-profile gaming sites have taken away from CitizenCon seems to be "Squadron 42 delayed (oh, and sandworms)", so it's damage limitation time.
