Bacteria

[Moopli]

Small entities that serve as compound bags and simple processors. This issue serves mostly to get basic ones into the game, so here are a bunch of features of these bacteria which could be done later:

• Swim around (run-and-tumble behaviour, of course)
• Aggregate in clumps, strings, and networks
• Perhaps use particle system

@Untrustedlife That's pretty cool. Did you expose the membrane generation parameters and tweak them for the bacteria that @TjWhale said that could make the bacteria look a lot different.

Lots of progress: bacteria now get cell walls, in fact you can now choose whether any microbe has a cell wall, a membrane, or whatever over covering you want to give them (as long as you are willing to make the shader, write the wrapping code for it) , it can also be set in json, and in default microbe lists, and bacteria get lots of other cool stuff and look like actual bacteria:

Everything except the models are implemented by this pr: https://github.com/Revolutionary-Games/Thrive/pull/564

This issue has been resolved, a contunation for the issue can be found here (for fleshing bacteria out more now that they are implemented) #565
