A planet without any water can have oceans brought back if hit by an "ice meteor" (a.k.a. a <a href="/wiki/Comet" title="Comet">comet</a>). Many things have to be kept within a certain balanced range for a planet to be able to support multicellular animal life; outside this range, only single-celled lifeforms, plants, robots, and lifeforms that have been civilized can survive. This excludes most lifeforms in this game since most are multicellular animals that are not civilized. </p><p>All player-triggered actions have a cost specified in "energy units" or "omega (Ω) units"; for example, 50 energy units are required to lay down a single terrain square, while 500 units are required to lay down a terraforming device. The energy budget is determined by the level of development of the planet, and the chosen difficulty level; on the lowest difficulty level, the energy budget is unlimited. </p><p>Gameplay itself can be somewhat mystifying; species may thrive or die out for no apparent reason. <a href="/wiki/Mass_extinction" class="mw-redirect" title="Mass extinction">Mass extinctions</a>, however, are often followed by periods of renewed evolutionary diversification, allowing the player to experiment with new sets of species and ecosystems. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Taxa">Taxa</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=SimEarth&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Taxa"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>A feature of the game is that all <a href="/wiki/Taxon" title="Taxon">taxa</a> of multicellular animals are on an equal footing, and thus it is possible to evolve, for example, sapient <a href="/wiki/Mollusc" class="mw-redirect" title="Mollusc">molluscs</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The two single-celled lifeform taxa, <a href="/wiki/Prokaryote" title="Prokaryote">Prokaryotes</a> and <a href="/wiki/Eukaryote" title="Eukaryote">Eukaryotes</a> (or <a href="/wiki/Bacteria" title="Bacteria">Bacteria</a> and <a href="/wiki/Amoeba" title="Amoeba">Amoebas</a>, in-game respectively) are treated specially.
