Thanks!

Great questions, and you actually caught a few UI inconsistencies that I’ve now fixed.

Titans / Giants: these are just very large organisms. Titans are size 20 and up, and I log those in the size panel. I also updated the field guide with sizes: https://soupof.life/concepts/life-organisms/size-classes

Micro-brains / learning showing 0: that was a real bug in the UI. Different panels were using different thresholds to decide what counts as a brain. I’ve aligned everything so micro-brains now consistently mean organisms that can actually form memories and learn. The stats and graphs should now match.

Timeline not showing: timeline only records data if logging is enabled. I’ve updated the panel to make that explicit and added a button to enable recording directly.

Seasons and (2s): that was unclear. It now shows how many seasons are left for extreme conditions, for instance 2 seasons left, with tooltips explaining what each season does.

Food always at 100%: that was also wrong. It was showing a refill rate, not real scarcity. It now reflects actual global food availability and will drop when the world is under pressure.

Really appreciate you flagging this, it helped clean up a bunch of confusing edges.
