Consequence abilities are granted at the end of each stage, and grant bonus abilities to all subsequent stages. Consequence abilities depend on the player's behavior on the game, and can be red, blue, or green.
NOTE: If you start a game at a later stage, you will not have consequence abilities. (Example, skipping the cell stage and starting on the creature stage will result in a creature with no consequence ability from the cell stage.) unless you change your consequence with typing setConsequenceTrait [trait] into the console and changing a past stage. (learn more in cheats)

Guides[]
- It should be noted that Power Monger does not function as advertised: The description was likely intended to say "Efficiency" instead of effectiveness, as what it actually does in practice is give you 50% more energy capacity.
- The most practical set of behaviours and consequence abilities for the Space Stage is Carnivore (Power Monger), Predator (Prime Specimen), Friendly (Gracious Greeting), then Economic (Spice Savant). Interestingly enough, this setup will also give you the Knight archetype, which is the only archetype you cannot convert to from computer allies in the Space Stage.
- If you want to build a massive space empire, red-blue-green-green is recommended. Predator (Prime Specimen) and Economic (Spice Savant) are excellent traits at the start of the space stage, but become mostly irrelevant(even on Hard) once you have a dozen spice colonies and a maxed-out ship. On the other hand Adaptive (Speed Demon) makes your exploration and travel faster(and more enjoyable), while Religious (Green Keeper) will make you experience less unwanted interruptions(Biodisasters are capable of decreasing the planet T-score, making them a serious issue). These consequences will help you establish a massive empire faster.
- Red-Red-Green-Green is another highly recommended set-up. You might be slower travelling in space without Speed Demon, but Ship Health can be valuable for taking out Grox in head-on combat, and you'll be able to start Space Stage with the best superpower, taking over lucrative homeworlds instantly with the help of Fanatical Frenzy.
