t This is where you create and modify life. Click on a breed sample to see information on them.

t Each breed has its own genetic attributes, drawn from the genetic budget. Your budget grows as you research Genetic Tech in Labs.

t Adjust the attributes to change breed's chance of survival. Fertility is important, but heat and cold resistance is needed to survive the environment.

t If you want to modify an existing breed, select the breed, change some attributes and select "Produce mutagen". If you want to make a new breed, select "Produce initiator" after having chosen a name.

t To change name of a breed, click on it, enter a new one in input field, then press <Enter>

t Once mutagen or initiator is released, you will need to collect a new sample for testing. Do this from the Ecosystem Overview screen. You'll also need a Lab running "Sample Extraction".

t Location groups describe where on Mars the breed lives. Food groups are the type of breed they can eat. Herbivores eat Plants, Carnivores eat Herbivores, Plants just need enough space.

t Your goal is to make a breed survive long enough to achieve sentience. Do this by balancing the ecosystem. Choose the location wisely, be careful who eats what. Use the Ecosystem Overview to see how you are doing.
