History VideoGame / EvolveIdle

* DysonSphere: Zigzagged. Researching the Dyson Sphere will unlock the Dyson Swarm research, which mentions that "a Dyson Sphere turns out to be completely impractical, if not impossible". Researching this will allow you to create a Dyson Swarm to harvest the Sun's energy instead. Later in the interstellar phase you can build a Dyson Net around a star, which can be fully upgraded into a Dyson Sphere in the late game.

* EnemyMine: It's highly inadvised to have two foreign powers with less than 20% relations with you, as they will team up to attack you with far stronger forces.
* EvilCounterpartRace: Black hole resetting into an Evil Universe grants you mostly the same races as a normal universe, but everyone is evil. Gathering wood is replaced with [[BloodForMortar Slaughter the weak for their bones]]. Interestingly, hell worlds are now Eden Worlds and the races that evolve on them are [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Angelic genus]] races like Seraph and Unicorns.

** Orichalcum and Vitelroy unlock after reaching Andromeda and trading with the nonhostile aliens there.

* FirstContactFauxPas: Your first contact with aliens in the Andromeda galaxy will result in your scout ship being destroyed after a failed attempt to communicate. The Xenolinguistics tech will alleviate future problems with the nonhostile race.

* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Plasmids and phage provide a collection bonus to resources just being there and can be used to purchase permanent upgrades that carry over across races via [=CRISPR=] upgrades to all subsequent races, even if [[ApocalypseHow the universe itself is blown up]].

* HumansAreWhite: Arguably averted, since humans have the "diverse" trait as mentioned above. Since the game has no graphics, it is hard to know for sure.

* FantasyMetals: Many different types are available to be mined or crafted. Mithril unlocks after reaching space and must be crafted from alloy and iridium. Adamantite is unlocked after reaching Alpha Centauri and must be mined by droids. Infernite can only be found in the Hell dimension and surveyors must be protected by troop patrols to survive the demons that live there. Orichalcum and Vitelroy unlock after reaching Andromeda and trading with the nonhostile aliens there.

** Assembling the [[spoiler:World Collider will [[Franchise/{{Doom}} open up a portal to Hell]]]].

** After creating a marine garrison on Mars and activating the World Collider you'll occasionally get a notification saying that [[VideoGame/DooM a portal to Hell was opened and a lone space marine wearing green armor somehow stopped the demonic invasion]].

* DysonSphere: Defied at first. Researching the Dyson Sphere will unlock the Dyson Swarm research, which mentions that "a Dyson Sphere turns out to be completely impractical, if not impossible". Researching this will allow you to create a Dyson Swarm to harvest the Sun's energy instead. Later in the interstellar phase you can build a Dyson Net around a star, which can be fully upgraded into a Dyson Sphere in the late game.

* FantasyMetals: Many different types are available to be mined or crafted, including mithril, adamantium, and orichalcum.

* EvilCounterpartRace: Black hole resetting into an Evil Universe grants you mostly the same races as a normal universe, but everyone is evil. Gathering wood is replaced with [[HumanResources Slaughter the weak for their bones]]. Interestingly, hell worlds are now Eden Worlds and the races that evolve on them are [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Angelic genus]] races like Seraph and Unicorns.

* DevilButNoGod: Most universes have a dimension outright called the Hell Dimension, as well as Hell planets (with an orbital period of [[NumberOfTheBeast 666 days]]) where the player can evolve demons. Inverted in the evil universe, where Hell worlds are replaced with Eden worlds and the demons are replaced with angelic beings like cherubs.

* TheFairFolk: The two Fey races in Dryads and Satyrs can be evolved on Forest Planets. Their [[StealthExpert Elusive]] trait prevents their spies from being caught altogether, but their [[ColdIron Iron Allergy]] trait decreases their iron mining output by 25%.

* ExportSave: You can copy the 8KB+ save file from a window or download it and paste it to restore it.

** Seraphs are AlwaysLawfulGood [[OurAngelsAreDifferent angelic beings]] that cannot go to war[[note]]Not on each other, that is -- demons are fair game[[/note]] and they start the game with Unification, a game-changing tech usually unlocked in the midgame.

* AllThereInTheManual: The dev has created spreadsheets that explain various mechanics in detail.

* OurElvesAreDifferent: A playable race that has an bonus to knowledge production, but gets less effective trade deals due to their haughty attitude.

* OurOrcsAreDifferent: Orcs are available from the start of the game.
