Remember that whatever diet your creature is would affect the future progression of the game since each pathway unlocks different abilities and attributes that affect the personality or Philosophy of your species. Make sure to go through the philosophy chart & ensure that the pathway you chose is the one you wanted to take, especially if you are a big fan of the Space Stage and wanted a certain type of superpower at your disposal.

Also, keep in mind that whatever diet you selected before a game can be changed at anytime during the cell stage by using the mating tool and changing the mouthpiece. Most importantly, there is an option of giving your cell more than one mouth. If your creature have 2 different mouths, this would make your species function as an omnivore regardless of the type of diet your creature specializes in. So, even if your cell focuses exclusively on meat chunks, by giving your cell a different mouthpiece, your creature would function as an omnivore even though it is classified as a carnivore according to the game.
