Those microbes are quite interesting too. They're called haloarchaea, and they catch solar energy using a protein called bacterorhodopsin. It's made from retinal, one of the molecules which your eyes use.
Thing is, bacteriorhodopsin works *completely* differently to chlorophyll, and haloarchaea don't capture carbon dioxide like plants do. It's an entirely different kind of photosynthesis!
Convergent evolution is really cool. I love how nature finds multiple ways to do things.

I don't heavily mod it, I play with the following:
*UI Overhaul 1080p Plus
*Real Space (The full 4 Mods)
*Planetary Diversity (And companion mod for Real Space)
*!CGM Mod suite. (3 Mods)
I think that's all of them. All on Steam Workshop.
