Mutants don't seem to have the Photosynthesis ability anymore...

[Bloodshadow]

Has anyone noticed? I think Zanz removed the Photosynthesis ability (use 1 Light to generate 2 Life) from mutants. I think this is because of the rare chance of a mutated Life creature getting that ability, generating infinite Life quanta (use 1 Life to generate 2 Life), then using Dissipation Field to be invincible.

True?

I remember seeing a screenshot, possibly in the Flashkit forum, where a person had a Horned Frog with Photosynthesis. That was some primordial times ago, when False Gods didn't even exist.

They did use to have it before.  I remember a post (from the original forum, I believe, but could be wrong) where somebody kept mutating until they got a creature that could create infinite quanta: cost 1 life to create 2 life.  I'll see if I can find where I saw that.

And here's where Zanz says it's possible (at least was possible): http://board.flashkit.com/board/showpost.php?p=4184724&postcount=747

What Delreich said.
No Photosynthesis for mutants in 1.13 & 1.14.
I cant' tell before that.

The abilities that are available are listed here: http://elementsthegame.wikia.com/wiki/Mutant
How that compares to pre-1.13 versions, I have no idea, but that's what it's like now.

I've actually never seen Photosynthesis on a mutant ever. I don't think it has ever been part of the random set. Correct me if I'm wrong, but after tens of thousands of mutants made I haven't seen one.

Ditto. I've never seen that ability on a mutant as far as I can remember. Perhaps Chris could shed some light on this.

[Sigh]

He also said that the chance of that happening was so low that he wasn't going to do anything to/with it. But after that I found that whenever I had gotten the ability it was always costing 2 of the element. So yeah...
