Editors And Mutations
The main gameplay loop of Thrive revolves around reproducing and editing your species. Each time you reproduce, you gain access to various Editors depending on your stage. And you will be able to make changes, or Mutations to your species.
Generations and Editor Sessions
Every time you enter an Editor in Thrive you advance one Generation. You can then view statistics, change location or perform other changes to your species. This is referred to as an Editor Session.
Mutations and Mutation Points
Every modification you make to your species is a Mutation. This includes placing Category:Organelles, upgrading them and importantly even removing them.
Every mutation you make to your species will cost you Mutation Points , otherwise referred to as MP. You always will only get 100 mutation points per editor session. They do not carry over or accumulate.
