Sagan4:Sagan Bot

Sagan Bot is a Discord bot hosted by Disgustedorite which is used on the Sagan 4 Discord server. It is a lightly modified version of OurFoodChain Bot, a bot originally created by Squidy which is made specifically for Speculative Evolution projects similar to Sagan 4. It features a variety of commands for quickly looking up species and ecosystems, generating cladograms, and even playing a Pokémon-like minigame featuring Sagan 4's various organisms.

Some features normally present in OurFoodChain Bot, such as trophies, are disabled for Sagan Bot. Sagan Bot used to have custom features not normally present in OurFoodChain Bot, but since OurFoodChain Bot later had those features added, as of March 25, 2020 Sagan Bot is unmodified from OurFoodChain Bot's refactoring branch aside from custom Gotchi data and an easter egg.

Sagan Bot's search features and bulk commands have proven invaluable for updating habitats, detecting species which should go extinct, and distributing species by sweepstakes. Its ?roll command is planned to be used for RNG elements in extinction events, allowing for a little more luck than ever existed in Alpha.

Commands
Sagan Bot has many commands, though some are not currently functional as intended. This section is currently incomplete.

Search
The ?search command allows species to be looked up based on keywords and parameters. Most parameters can me modified with a hyphen (eg. -has:predators) to do the opposite. This table shows named parameters that can be used:

Gotchi
Gotchi is a Pokémon-like minigame which members of the Discord server may play, where they are tasked with feeding, training, and evolving their "Gotchi".

Gotchi Gameplay
Gotchi plays like a mix between Pokémon and Tamagotchi. After obtaining their starter species, Protosagania, the player must feed it at least once every 72 hours or it will die. The Gotchi can be trained and leveled up, allowing it to evolve into many different organisms. The species it evolves into is chosen at random from its current species' immediate descendants, but a specific species can be chosen with items such as the Glowing Evo Stone which can be purchased at the shop.
