Okay, I guess I'll have to throw in my two SimCents in...
I couldn't get fish to evolve intelligence.  After reading one od the first
posts about industrial fish (is that a rock group? :-), I tried using the
monolith to make them evolve intelligence.  They did, but the computer
crashed as soon as the "evolution music" stopped.
I have had trichords evolve all the way to exodus with no problem.  As a
matter of fact, trichords and carniferns almost always evolve for me, and
they usually make it to a pretty high IQ before mammals or dinosaurs overrun
them.
And now for my question:  After fiddling with the temperature and CO2
controls, I was finally able to get the air temp and CO2 lines to stay
flat in the history window, but every now and then, air temp would spike
up about half a grid division, with no change in CO2 or any other factor
that I could find.  The spikes would occur at regular intervals.  Later,
I had my CO2 level dipping down regularly for no apparent reason.
Anyone else had this happen to them, or know why it might be
happening?
