Molecular Stage

Molecular Phase
The phase is not part of the final game. As announced to the public in DICE 2007, it was similar to Tetris. There is not much information, and there are no images to show what the importance of the phase in the evolution of your race was. It has been proven that the images of the molecular phase were just concept sketches.

Speculations
Some people think that the Molecular phase was the phase where you "construct" the planet. Each molecule has a color; a combination of "X" and "X" color will make the planet like those colors. So, a combination of blue colored with another blue colored molecules will make a aquatic planet, a green colored with brown colored molecules combination will create a planet with more terrain, or with much forests.

This stage could have hypothetically been the point in time where proteins and chemicals first came together and formed DNA and the first protocells.

Possibly the Molecular phase was the phase that creates your start creature or is a loading game.

This phase was removed from the game for the initial release
