I think the real problem is the lack of the refined materials needed to create electrical components. You need some sort of community extracting rare metals etc that can be passed along the food chains.
Which is why the only time I've heard of a plausible "artificial life takes over" kind of thing in Stephen Baxter's "Evolution", where robots are sent to Mars to autonomously mine for materials and build them into a colony for humans to inhabit eventually. Unfortunately humans don't arrive because the Qu plot turns them into animals and the robots simply continue mining for materials and reproducing until they literally replace the entirety of Mars with themselves, after which they enter an era of natural evolution where imperfect replications result in "mutations" and eventually they assume an almost biological evolution dynamic, eventually giving rise to intelligent space-faring machines.

I've kind of had a similar idea for the New New Amsterdam idea a had a while back. They don't form their own ecosystem, but maintain upkeep of the cities and other locals after humans die out, allowing life to adapt to ecosystems that would never have existed otherwise. Main issue is if I just have this be an earth future or something a bit more "exotic".

F.I.N.D.R Field Incident Logs A comprehensive list of all organisms, artifacts, and alternative worlds encountered by the foundation team.
At the present time, concepts within are inconsistent and ever shifting. Protectorates of the Proan Empire- The Sundered Realms - A fantasy realm where the world is divided into different sections. (Following names subject to change)
- The Gavell Kingdom
- The Everdark Forest
- The Lunar Tundra
- The Sand Sea
- The Asteroid Cloud
- The Rotting Shard
- The Orbital River
- The Outer Shadow
- Bottle Beasts - This Universes version of Pokemon.
Worlds Impacted by the Enlightened/Visceral War- The 'Verse Whale - The Homeworld of the two forces, a planet sized organism, and the unique life that has flourished on it.
- замороженный конец - An Ice Age world populated by tripodal organisms.
- [To Be Named] - A world of creatures with an arm for a head
- [To Be Named] - The Homeworld of a species where only the males are sapient.
- [To Be Named] - The home of a race of carnivorous, trap building beings.
- [To Be Named] - A planet of organisms that can link their minds, where two forms of intelligence have arisen.
Unaffiliated Universes- [To Be Named] - A parallel earth where the Synapsids took over after the Permian Extinction, among other resulting changes.
- نيو نيو امستردام - An abandoned Dyson Cylinder containing an Ecumenopolis now catering to our former pets and pests. (A concept developed entirely separate from DroidSyber's Arcology, I swear.)
- The Bleed - A vast universe where physics are more a suggestion than a rule.
Parakosmos Minor - Known Earth Pocket Universes, Natural or Artificial.- Island of Marsupials and Armadillos off the coast of South America
- A world inhabited by Woodpecker descendants (Again, not meant to be a clone of Serina, I in no way have that much detail ready for this.)

See, that's my pet-peeve with the nanobots-replicate-and-annihilate-everything trope. They can't just convert everything they touch to raw materials (alchemistry much?) to other nanobots. They can't mine, can't melt metals, can't purify, all the way to not being able to hold the information needed to assemble a peer (at least with today's technology). Heck they even can't repair themselves. There are some ways around this problem and that problem, but when you apply all the solutions, you've turned the nanobot into a living cell before you realised it, alternative biochemistry or not. (Could cells and microbes count as nanobots?) The only reasonable robot apocalypse scenario involves macroscopic robots, likely something along the lines of what Flisch said. Or just robots with AGI gone rogue.

An alternate universe idea. An alternate universe made up of impenetrable spheres floating in the void, connected sporadically and temporarily by similarly impenetrable tunnels/tubes. Each sphere is half filled with substrate of varying types or water. Each sphere would have a different humidity, temperature, and light levels. There would be no sun or stars, the spheres themselves would glow, with the brightest glow at the top, fading until it reaches the spheres equator. Spheres 'higher' up in the void would be brighter than those low in the void, until it reached a point where those high in the void have so much energy in them they destroy any life inside them, and those low in the void have so little energy in it nothing can exist/survive. Life would get there via the portal system often used in alt universe projects, but instead of being totally random, sometimes when a tunnel opens up between spheres it also opens a one way door to HE, and it closes whenever the tunnel disappears.

An idea for anyone who is interested, since xenobiology or teraformed worlds are not thing i am good at, world where all animals brought there are vertribates, no invertribates, might not be possible, but if anyone is interested they can take this since i dont really know about other planets, and things that go with them, so this idea is open for all.

Spoiler: click to toggle As they walk in, they're greeted by a small, poorly kept pathway leading to a poorly constructed Japanese-style gate. Behind this, a small field made up of corn, rice, wheat, potatoes, among other plants is contrasted by large piles of books, as well as a few rather out of place looking laptops. Off in the corner, a small woman, with long, striped, and strikingly colorful socks, no shoes, unremarkable denim shorts, a large, fancy black coat, arm warmers, glasses, a tuque, and somewhat unkempt, mid-length blue-and-pink-streaked red hair, is rummaging through a trash bin, located behind a sign saying "employees only". She continues this for a while (walking behind a wall to change her outfit now and then), until one of her visitors coughs. Startled, she looks up, apologizes, and grabs a handful of textbooks and novels before daintily running off to join them. What, you want me to tell you what these mean?

Even though he is our creator, that does not afford him the right to take our lives on a whim. But that is the thinking of a homs. He is a god. Such morals cannot apply to gods.

But Souls are delicious. They're like bacon - they taste good on anything. But if you eat them, you completely remove them from existence! They can't move on or... or be reincarnated! Huh. I never really gave it much thought. Besides, what do you mean by reincarnation anyway? You know, being reborn as someone or something else. Which means different body, different memories, different experiences, yes? So isn't being reborn as "something else" the same as being "removed from existence"? I... I... eating souls isn't right! That depends on your definition of "right". All living things survive by eating other living things. So what? You're a god. You should be above all that! Gods are above living things, which doesn't necessarily mean we care about them.

Incidentally a project about a world where the K-Pg Extinction was as severe as the P-T Extinction could potentially be quite an interesting one if pulled off properly.

A project about the next 50 million years, following the evolution of certain animal groups, change by change. It would look at how organisms adapt with each other, so this methodical way of speculating might create realistic evolutionary histories and speculative ecologies.

Going on Beetleboy's idea, a project somewhat based on D&D. Dice rolls determine how well different animal groups survive, whether or not a natural disaster occurs, forcing them to adapt, what adaptations they develop, etc.
It'd probably need several people to write up the charts for something like this, but I'd be willing to help out with it.
Also:
- Quote:
-
A while ago I came up with a rather odd idea, which I remembered just today. The premise is that just prior to the K-Pg extinction (or perhaps during it, or right after the impact of the Chixculub bolide), a small area of land (not sure of the continent) centered on a large herd of dinosaurs is put in completely suspended animation by an unexplained force (let's say Alien Space Bats). Hundreds of thousands to a million years later, very early into the Paleocene (after life has comfortably recovered, but prior to any real speciation), the area "un-pauses", freeing the biota within - plants (probably quite similar to those outside of the field), invertebrates, small populations of smaller animals, and the herd of dinosaurs.
The catch is, the herd of dinosaurs upon which the area was centered was a herd of large titanosaurian sauropods, the area in question being their nesting site shortly following the deposition of their eggs.
The project then focuses on how the Cenozoic progresses with the influence of both a very limited raft of more "standard" alternative K-Pg survivors and that of a large sauropod, which at the moment is the largest species of animal on the planet (terrestrial or aquatic - a strange concept) by a few orders of magnitude and possesses neither competition or predators on an effective scale.
Do you think it sounds interesting, or is it too pulpy?
Do it. There is no such thing as 'too pulpy.' Hell, I'd argue that some pulpy stuff would make a welcome change on this forum. Question: Would any predators or nest thieves lurking in the shadows of the nesting grounds make it through as well? Stuff like that would be interesting to interpret, particularly if you go with large varanids like Estesia.

Little: Starting playing DND, took all of an hour of gameplay until a yuri love-triangle was initiated. And no, it was not my fault. Corecin: If this is your first time with a lesbian love triangle in a DnD game than you don't even have to specify that you're starting out. Octo: Oh no now Little will enlighten with the deep and complex subject that is hentai lore. Beetleboy: It shows what kind of person I am that I'm seeking crush advice on a forum about creating fictional organisms. Corecin: I am not in the mood for looking up yuri because then the FBI agent monitoring my computer will judge me with reckless abandon. Blue_Komrade: Excuse me sir I am going to have to see if you have your membership card to the Misanthrope Club. Parasky: Ultimately, by the miracle of microbiology and biochemistry, I have accidentally added an additional month to my brew and created a Bavarian style hefeweizen rather than the American style wheat beer I planned, despite technically not having the correct ingredients. However because I wrote down what I did wrong its not a mistake it's actually science. Rebirth: I can't be the only one curious about what would happen if you spayed and neutered a male antechinus before it reached sexual maturity. Ebervalius: Laws? What kind of spooky cuckery is that? Parasky: Ah see, but that's just the thing, you thought that I thought that you thought that I had said you hadn't read it, when really I had said that you had said that you thought that I thought that you hadn't read it.

A terraformed planet where most tetrapods are predators of mound-building termites: anteaters, aardvarks, alvarezsaurs, echidnas, and chimpanzees (I know they're not specialized to eating termites, but couldn't resist putting them in, what with their termite fishing and all.

A project that centers around taking simple yet implausible concepts and running with them. Concepts can range from mildly implausible ("what if dolphins re-evolved into terrestrial animals?") to really weird and nearing impossible but not quite ("what if a fish evolved to walk on its teeth?" or "what if a rodent evolved some sort of mind control?")
Then, as mentioned, you run with the idea. For example, let's just assume that a lineage of tooth-walking fish somehow became successful. Assuming that were true, jump ahead maybe 20 or 30 million years. What have the tooth-walking fish evolved into now? Have they become weird, downward-facing filter-feeders, using their tooth-legs to sift through food in the sand as they walk? Maybe their tails, now no longer used for swimming, are used in elaborate mating displays. Maybe their tongue has become more dexterous, with sharp spines on its tip used to spear small worms and drag them into its mouth as it crawls.
There wouldn't be a singular setting, as each concept would be a part of its own separate continuity (unless stated otherwise). Could be a group project.

Dumb Quotes "and then I fired again. and then I missed. and then I fired. and then I fired, and I missed. I missed both times. and then I fired, and I missed. this went on for several hours. and then I fired. and then I missed. and then I was out of bullets. and then I got sad. I had a popsicle. and then I passed out in the snow. and then I woke up. and then I reloaded. and then I fired. and then I missed. I missed again. I fired. I hit something, but it wasn't what I was going for, so I guess I missed. I passed out again. had another popsicle. I had a dream that I was firing at something. I missed. oh, so she can pick a snowball fight with 'em. I threw up a snowball at 'em. I missed. I packed another snowball into my gun. that's my secret weapon. I missed. yeah, she's really something. I threw a snowball at her. I missed. I passed out. I woke up with a popsicle stick in my mouth. don't piss me off woman. I'll take a swing you, I'll miss though. I guarantee it. then I'll take another swing. and I'll miss. then I'll have myself a popsicle. would you care for a popsicle? just don't bring it into the sauna. I reached into the fridge for another popsicle. I missed. I got the cabbage. I put it back, but I missed. I dropped it on the floor. long story short, missed." -- Nancy Drew The White Wolf of Icicle Creek: Twist of Fate - PART 3 - Game Grumps
"When Ron the Mighty has stood in front of the gate of heaven he begins to denounce it. He cries, 'heaven is for those too scared of nothingness, I will go no further then my mortal flesh will carry. This mirror is the sick bed of heaven Harry, the eternity of pansy lies.' Ronnie will have nothing to do with the mirror, he is only concerned with the flesh and blood of the now. This destroys Harry. Ron leaves him to contemplate his stupid mirror, and the design of the cosmos versus the terminal beauty of being a wizard." -- Wizard People, Dear Reader: Chapter 23
