Information
  • Welcome to orb.farm!

    • This is a virtual ecosystem where different species of creature can live, grow and die as part of a self-contained food chain.
    • Please:
      • Play
      • Experiment
      • & Observe
    • Elements
      • Inert
        • Clear:
          • "Air" element, used to erase things.
        • Glass:
          • Lets in light, biologically inert.
        • Sand:
          • Important nutrient vector for plants. Grass must grow in this.
        • Stone:
          • Draw archways and castle. Aquascaping!
        • Wood:
          • Driftwood adds natural decorative flare and provides a place for fish to hide. It also blocks light.
        • Water:
          • A classic. Doesn't get better than this.
      • Autotrophs
        • Algae:
          • Photosynthesizes sunlight & carbon dioxide to produce nutrients and oxygen. Life of the party!
        • Grass:
          • Grows into eel grass, which is a source of food and oxygen. Needs to pull nitrogen from sand in order to grow.
      • Herbivores
        • Daphnia:
          • Also know as water fleas, these freshwater zooplankton are a key species in the ecosystem. They feed on algae, and lay eggs which can lay dormant for a long time! More active at night.
      • Carnivores
        • Fish:
          • They feed mostly on daphnia but will also eat on the biofilm that grows on plants. I can't tell what they're thinking.
          • Goldfish:
            • Loyal but simple minded. Breathes oxygen
      • Decomposers
        • Bacteria:
          • Aerobically breaks down waste into nitrogen. Decomposers are very important parts to a functioning ecosystem. Blows bubbles when happy.
