Internal Name	myofibril

Organelle consisting of long fibres which in aggregate create muscle tissue within organisms, available from the Macroscopic Stage. Increases an organism's speed.

Requirements

Only available from the Macroscopic Stage onwards.

Processes

No processes.

Modifications

No modifications.

Effects

For each cell in a multicellular organism that contains a Myofibril, that organism's movement speed increases proportionally to the volume of that cell. Cells with Myofibrils are classified as having muscle tissue type.

Upgrades

No upgrades

Strategy

We recommend adding one Myofibril to several cell types in your multicellular organism, but adding more than one is redundant. At the moment, further Myofibrils provide no extra benefit.

Scientific Background

Myofibrils are long rod-like organelles, which are always found within "Muscle Cells". These organelles are used primarily in the contraction and relaxation of muscles, permitting a creature to move certain body parts, be that a leg, arm, or mouth.
