All pre-configured vessels require Fungaly 2.0 installation on iOS. Codes unlock specific starting conditions within the app interface.
Fungaly translates complex microbial dynamics into observable events by collapsing bacterial population scales into manageable tick rates. Each cycle represents condensed biological time where trillions of microscopic interactions become visible as colored zone changes, metric shifts, and dominance patterns. This compression allows users to witness ecosystem evolution that would normally take weeks in real laboratory conditions.
Six distinct starting media including forest litter with mixed wood pulp for acid tolerance, coco coir for clean baseline experiments, and agar gel providing laboratory-grade sterile conditions. Each substrate influences initial decomposer populations and nutrient cycling rates.
Track four primary environmental metrics with visual bar indicators and numerical precision. Moisture levels from 0 to 100 percent, temperature readings in chosen units, organic matter percentage showing decomposition progress, and soil nutrient concentration affecting plant growth capacity.
Environment map reveals organism distribution within each container zone. Horizontal banding patterns show vertical layering of fungal networks, bacterial colonies, and plant root systems. Tap individual zones to view local density percentages and dominant species at that position.
Visual timeline displays every cycle as a horizontal event strip. See which species gained ground, which declined, and the environmental triggers causing each shift. Compare biomass accumulation against organic reserve depletion across multiple runs.
Pause active simulations to adjust moisture, inject nutrients, or introduce new organisms. Test how external interventions affect established communities. Reserve slots store medium configurations for reuse across different experimental runs.
Unlock 17 acceptables by reaching specific ecological milestones. First leaf for completing a vessel with plant growth, Closed Loop for full-cycle runs without external additions, Dirt for achieving microbial waste transformation. Track completion counters in bench voice settings.
Fungaly operates through cycle-based event processing where each round calculates resource competition, organism reproduction rates, and environmental feedback loops. The simulation engine evaluates zone adjacency to determine spread patterns, applies decomposition formulas to organic matter pools, and calculates fitness scores determining which species expand in the next cycle.
Environmental conditions create cascading effects throughout the container. High moisture promotes bacterial activity but can inhibit certain fungi. Temperature fluctuations from decomposition heat affect all resident organisms. Nutrient depletion triggers resource competition while organic matter breakdown releases new nutrients creating cyclical availability patterns.
The visualization system uses color-coded zones to represent dominant organisms at each location. Brown tones indicate fungal dominance, teal represents bacterial colonies, green shows plant presence. Segmented bars at cycle completion display final territorial distribution, with segment width proportional to spatial control achieved by each species type during that run.
