Extracts energy in the form of ATP 
using Temperature 
gradients in the environment. Eukaryotic form of the less efficient Thermosynthase.
Speculative organelle not found in real life. Unavilable in games with LAWK (Life As We Know it) turned on.
Requirements
Thermoplasts only appear in games with LAWK turned off in game settings.
If organelle upgrades are enabled in game settings, the following condition must also be true for the player cell:
- Contains at least 3 hexes of Thermosynthase for at least 5 generations in a row.
Processes
Thermosynthesis: Temperature → ATP
Generates energy passively from ambient environmental Temperature . More efficient form of Bacterial Thermosynthesis present in Thermosynthase.
Modifications
No modifications.
Effects
No effects.
Upgrades
No upgrades.
Strategy
Since Thermosynthesis requires no inputs other than ambient Temperature , it's essentially free energy. Further, Thermoplasts are more efficient than their precursor Thermosynthase, making them arguably the easiest method of energy generation in the game, providing you're willing to remain in hot patches like volcanic vents.
With organelle unlocks enabled, the requirement to reproduce multiple times with Thermosynthase in your cell means a player who evolves Thermoplasts has likely already specialised quite heavily in Thermosynthesis by the time they obtain Thermoplasts.
