Plan your next Primordialis session
Our independent guide breaks down Primordialis’ core systems, offering observations that help you refine fish designs, navigate biomes, and make the most of Steam tools without relying on hidden mechanics.
01 / THE GUIDE
Cell Function Comparison
List three offensive and three defensive cells you encounter. Compare their effects and note which pairings could balance attack and survivability in early biomes.
- Mix cells with complementary functions to discover unexpected synergies.
- Consider the biome you plan to enter first when selecting core cell types.
02 / THE GUIDE
Biome Threat Chart
Create a simple table of each biome’s dominant enemy types. Match each to a cell or mutation that could counter those threats effectively.
- Gather versatile cells early to handle a range of enemy designs.
- Observe enemy constructions to inform which cells may give you an edge.
03 / THE GUIDE
Sandbox Stability Test
Design a complex creature in sandbox mode, record any cells that cause instability, and adjust the layout before attempting a rogue‑like run.
- Tailor your creature’s abilities to the dominant threats of each biome.
- Use biome transitions as opportunities to trial new cell combinations.
04 / THE GUIDE
Workshop Layout Review
Browse the Steam Workshop for a community‑shared cell layout. Compare its structure to your own and note any novel configurations you could adopt.
- Prototype complex circuitry in sandbox before committing to a run.
- Study enemy cell layouts in sandbox to inspire counter‑designs.
05 / THE GUIDE
Cloud Sync Check
After a play session, check your Steam settings to confirm Steam Cloud is enabled for the game, since the listing advertises Steam Cloud support.
- Steam Cloud is among the game's listed Steam features if you want cloud support enabled.
- Browse Workshop content for inspiration or to adopt community‑made layouts.
