The gooey innards of a cell. The cytoplasm is the basic mixture of ions, proteins, and other substances dissolved in water that fill the interior of the cell.
One of the functions it performs is glycolysis, the conversion of glucose into ATP. For cells that lack organelles to have more advanced metabolisms, this is what they rely on for energy. It is also used to store molecules in the cell and to grow the cell's size.
Requirements
No requirements.
Processes
Glycolysis
Glucose → ATP
Cytoplasm glycolysis is the first method of energy production available in the game. Less efficient than glycolysis in other organelles (e.g. metabolosomes), it requires only a steady influx of glucose and does not change speed in response to environmental factors.
Modifications
No modifications.
Effects
Any other organelle may be placed on top of cytoplasm that has already been placed. It does not cost mutation points to remove the existing cytoplasm hex(es).
Upgrades
No upgrades.
Strategy
