>Species Reproduction
Self-propagation is so fundamental to life that many scholars, Terran or otherwise, don’t consider organisms that can’t reproduce on their own to be truly alive. Perhaps they are right. There are many, many methods but they can be sorted into four separate categories. Which does your species rely on?
>Bisexual : Split the population between pipette and crucible, the former giving genetic material to the later, and those specialized roles can perform the dangerous matter of reproduction easier. However, this is the hardest in term of finding compatible mates.
>Plurisexual : With 10 starting sexes, your species will rarely run in the case of incompatibility, making spore clouds a valid strategy. This approach cover more ground, but makes younglings extremely vulnerable because of the low amount of biological ressources spent.
>Benign Asexual Reproduction: Your species reproduces by gestating their offspring and releasing them when they’re capable of surviving on their own. This is dependable but the gestation period can leave their parent vulnerable. Normally, these offspring are nigh-identical clones of their parent.
>Fatal Asexual Reproduction: Your species reproduces by consuming a large amount of nutrients and dividing into several offspring, killing their parent in the process but having a much swifter period of weakness. This is the fastest method of reproduction and can rebuild populations very quickly, though it suffers from the same near-stagnancy as the above with weaker younglings.
