More ways to earn plant points?

After a certain period of time in the demo, 1 species will emerge the victor, with no way to reseed a new generation of foragers. Are there other ways of earning plants or is milestones the only way?

Milestones are the only way more nutrients, I'm afraid! Though you can get multiple distinct foraging species if you set them to specialize in different food sources, and you can also spawn predators to eat other creatures instead of base food sources (though they are tricky to keep in balance).

The game is a little stingy with nutrient points because food supply is what ultimately determines population size (in the long term), and large populations will quickly bog down the CPU. In the full game, I'll let the player expand out into other nearby areas (for example into the deep sea where no light reaches) which should allow for creating whole new communities (while the old area is sort of paused).
