Lifeform
Your account plays a species — a lifeform. Humans are the species in play today; three more exist in the catalog and are not yet played. The lifeform tree is a second ladder of buildings and research on top of the common one, with its own queue and, in Biomass and Population, its own lines of the ledger.
