Evolution Phases (Scape and Run Parasites)

Evolution Phases are a core mechanic added by the mod, they determine the spawning of Parasites, as well as the functioning of most other systems in the mod. Parasites Evolve based on their Gaining of Evolution points through various methods. Every time their phase increases a 20-minute cooldown is placed where Parasites can neither gain, nor loose points.
