* ChainOfDeals: Clicking on a locked species will show you what tasks are needed in order to unlock them. However, evolving certain species requires different tasks. For example, to unlock Swamp Flowers, you must first complete all tasks leading to and including "Oh Deer" to unlock Swamp Grass. After unlocking Swamp Grass, you can evolve Bulrush plants, but to evolve Swamp Flowers, you need to complete all tasks leading to and including "Totally Coconuts!" to unlock Liards, which can be evolved into Frogs, so you can evolve Toads, which are required near the Bulrush to evolve Swamp Flowers. You'll ''also'' need to complete all tasks leading to and including "The Mighty Jungle" so that you'll b able to get the Frogs to be environmentally satisfied enough to even ''perform'' the process of evolving them into toads!

*** Sheep need trees near their habitat for maximum environmental satisfaction. RealLife sheep couldn't care less about trees, and mostly live in wide open flat grasslands.
*** On the other hand, chickens in-game dislike trees, incurring a severe satisfaction penalty that can gravely harm their health if even ''one'' tree is close enough to them. Real Life chickens actually ''prefer'' trees for shade and shelter.

Equilinox is a LifeSimulationGame created by indie developer [=ThinMatrix=] in which you can create and nurture your own ecosystems, hape the world to your liking, cultivate and raise hundreds of different species, and [[TechTree evolve your wildlife to unlock more exotic plants and animals]].
You create ecosystems by placing plants and animals into your world. Different plants will make the terrain more fertile allowing wildlife to flourish, while animals will begin to earn you points which can be used to purchase various in-game resources.
Every plant and animal has its own life-cycle, behaviors and requirements, so you need to ensure that each species is satisfied with its environment, has enough resources, and that the ecosystems are balanced. Healthy, happy animals will live longer, breed more, and earn you more points.
The points you earn can also be used to genetically modify your species, allowing you to manipulate the traits and behaviors of your species for various benefits. You can also evolve your current wildlife to unlock more exotic plants, trees and creatures.
Equilinox was released on Nov 23, 2018.
