Genius! I'm sure no one has used that one in the Space genre before....Clingons? :p

This sounds like a cool variation of the terraforming idea, just executed by a fungi.An expansion on my shroom concept, I was thinking of a possibility that these shrooms travel around by either some spore pod that flies through space to other planets to start growing by crashing into the surface where it leaves mycelium kinda like how grass patches are. After some time, this mycelium spreads on top of other blocks and mushrooms begin growing, where they have a change to grow into a really huge mushroom made of special blocks if given the chance
You also have a risk if you have a ship on the planet of getting some of these things in your ships either by impacting a space spore or if the mycelium grows to your ship and gets inside. I was thinking this could be interesting as you might wind up bringing a potential shroom forest in your base, but I think the shrooms should be able to do a quick check before growing so it doesn't end up replacing blocks in your base with shroom blocks. It would make for an interesting slight biohazard if it's pulled off right.

Ehhhhhhhhh... I like the idea, but it has to stay contained somehow. Perhaps it can only spread when tripped/"activated" somehow, and onto planets that meet certain requirements.An expansion on my shroom concept, I was thinking of a possibility that these shrooms travel around by either some spore pod that flies through space to other planets to start growing by crashing into the surface where it leaves mycelium kinda like how grass patches are.

The joke was intentionally bad... the ": P" emote and the " :p " emote are two different things; I was going for the first and accidentally got the second.Genius! I'm sure no one has used that one in the Space genre before.
That's why I liked the idea of multiple factions that would terraform planets at the same rate so while one planet is being changed from terran (or whatever) somewhere else a planet is being changed to terran. All of these events would be very rare though, maybe a planet per system per week.Ehhhhhhhhh... I like the idea, but it has to stay contained somehow.

I was thinking maybe certain blocks that it can't grow on, maybe like sand. I was trying to think of something that could act as a barrier against the mushrooms, but not be easy to obtain so it doesn't turn into every station has sandy carpets. (come to thing of it, fungus can grow on walls too, right? >.>; )Ehhhhhhhhh... I like the idea, but it has to stay contained somehow.

We are going to make laws against people like you. Poaching the delicate space whale population. Makes me sick.Anything but Star Trek style aliens. So boring.
Also, I don't see where all this love of space whales is coming from. They aren't really that cool. Space jellyfish are much better.
If space whales get added, I'm going to kill the freaks of nature on sight.
Now now, this is going to turn into America (Non Whaling) versus Japan (Pro Whaling)... Except in space this time around.We are going to make laws against people like you. Poaching the delicate space whale population. Makes me sick.
They could naturally synthesize some mineral (hydrocarbons) from gathered H2 as a way chemosynthesis. When killed, they would release a lot of this stuff and it would instantly freeze into blocks (it would actually atomize in a vacuum but...) allowing you to pick it up and sell at a shop. Whales would need to stay near stars or in gas clouds though.I hope whale blubber is worth money. I'd like to be compensated for my ammunition consumption.
The clouds made me think, can we get very rare sentient cloud of electromagnetically charged dust particles that act as a brain? They could feed on asteroids and naw on nearby ships. EMPs insta-kill but are the only weapon that has any effect on them. They could literally just be a particle effect.Synthesizing hydrocarbons from H2 could be difficult if done without nucleosynthesis If space whales would use alcohol clouds as a substrate - then why not
But then, why care about space whales if we have clouds of ALCOHOL
