Field journal Β· Discord terrarium game

Grow a world
in glass

TerraBot turns your Discord server into a shelf of living terrariums. Catch and raise pixel bugs built from layered traits, keep them fed and happy, breed and fuse them into combos nobody has ever logged, and fill a Bug-Codex that never quite ends.

Specimen 01 Β· The headline feature

Every bug is a trait roll

No two collections look alike. A bug is layered from species, body type, pattern, color, appendages, size, and a special trait, and each layer has its own rarity weight. The sprite below is a live placeholder demo of that exact system, rolled in your browser. Real layered pixel art replaces it later (see the asset notes in the repo).

Specimen 02 Β· Core systems

The loops we are building

Collection, care, and competition in equal parts. Commands shown are the planned names and may shift before launch.

πŸ•ΈοΈ

Catch & Collect

Insects, beetles, spiders, arachnids, and winged bugs at launch. Find them, buy them, earn them, and log every new trait combo you discover.

/bug catch
🌑️

Terrarium Care

Hunger, hydration, happiness, cleanliness, and climate, with per-species ideal ranges. Well-kept bugs grow through size stages and earn bonus drops.

/terrarium view
πŸ₯š

Breeding Lab

Pair two compatible, well-cared-for bugs to produce eggs. Offspring inherit traits with a mutation chance for combos that are not in either parent.

/bug breed
High risk
βš—οΈ

Fusion Lab

Combine two bugs into one hybrid. Trait-merge plus mutation, higher risk and higher reward, and the fastest road to a codex entry nobody else has.

/bug fuse
πŸ“–

Bug-Codex

The collection book. Every species and trait you have ever logged, with completion milestones, badges, and rewards for the truly obsessed.

/bug codex
πŸͺ

Rotating Bug Shop

Daily and weekly stock: bugs, species-specific foods, habitat decor, care tools, and cosmetics. Everything playable is earnable in-game.

/bug shop
Specimen 03 Β· The care loop

Keep them alive, keep them thriving

Each terrarium drifts toward entropy and your job is to push back. Neglected bugs get unhappy and then sick, but recovery is always possible: TerraBot is a cozy game, not a guilt machine.

πŸ– Hunger/bug feed

Species-specific foods. A spider does not want nectar, and the shop will happily sell you both.

πŸ’§ Hydration/terrarium mist

Mist and water on a rhythm. Desert species and bog species disagree about what counts as enough.

✨ Happiness/bug play

Happy bugs grow, unlock breeding eligibility, and occasionally dig up gifts for you.

🧹 Cleanliness/terrarium clean

Terrariums get grimy. Clean tanks keep illness away and make your showcase screenshots prettier.

🌑️ Climate/terrarium tune

Temperature and humidity with per-species ideal ranges. Get it right and growth accelerates.

Specimen 04 Β· Rarities

The seven-tier ladder

Shared across the whole SpartanBots ecosystem, plus a procedural rarity score on top: a one-of-a-kind trait combo is its own flex even on a Common species.

Specimen 05 Β· One ecosystem

Part of the SpartanBots family

One shared premium currency (Drachmas), one Patreon that covers every bot, and zero gameplay paywalls anywhere. Soft currency and everything playable stay earnable in-game.

Specimen 06 Β· Roadmap

Where the build is right now

Honest status, updated as things ship. Numbers, names, and loops can still change while the design settles.

TerraBot Β· A SpartanBots project

The terrarium is warming up.

Want in early? The SpartanBots support server is where alpha testers get picked, balance gets argued about, and launch day gets announced first.
