I think you're missing a point.

The planet is expanding
When you visit the Prime Roots, you can see the remains of what used to be towns on the surface.

The roots have grown outwards, and covered them up, creating a new outer layer of the planet.

Matter can not be created from nothing. If the planet is expanding, the core must be dissolving.
If the core is disappearing, "basic science" says the planet will eventually collapse in on itself.

I plan on joining Jena on Judgement Day and moving on to a new world of plenty. You can stay and perish with the Kami, if you'd like.

What are the Kitin?

Pero

the Fyros have Frahar, the Matis killed all their ancestor species (momos ? )(thats how you deal with embarassing relatives ! )
On a previous thread it was suggested the Homin races were created by combining Human genes with the Ryzom primitives, unless the Karavan are homins that have attained a level of purity where they cannot survive contact with Draconic ash, then they are unaltered humans (also vulnerable to draconic ash) -but this might clash with the early Lore that stated that Jena was the only Human in Ryzom (which some people might say clashes with her Divine status, although I dont beleive that is mutually exclusive )

and Kitin are cockroaches that got into the terraforming machine

One mitigating factor here might be density/specific gravity, as it relates to gravity gradients. If Ryzom is very low in heavy elements, just traces as required for biological functioning, and the major structures of the rootball are some hyper advanced organic nanotech structure ( which would be needed to hold the gaint branches in the canopy up ), then the pressures at the core would be significantly less than those of a 'conventional' planet, with a rock/metal core.
Possibly a liquid water core, with a lattice of super-roots through it, and possibly a much smaller overall planetary diameter too
We dont really know how well homins scale against humans, unless Karavan are in fact Human,... its all very interesting

Cuzans ( the cute tribe) and the farhar's actually have the favor of the karavans... go do a quest for them and you will find out that you lose kami fame while gaining karavaner

I don't think so... with your theory Atys will have a lower gravity, so a lower atmosphere. A big atmosphere is needed to maintain such a biosphere, so I think that Atys need even a bigger core than earth, with a hevier gravity (maybe 1.5g), witch reinforces the fact of extraatysian species (Karavan) always in protector vest (Maybe with mechanical aid to movement). Also reinforce the fact of most homins being little than humans.

Atys have little heavy elements because you can't get the surface of the planet. You only have access to the "rizomsphere", this is, the layer of plants/roots.

A bigger atmosphere, a more humid clima and a lot of Carbonum in surface are enough to maintain Atys Ryzomsphere. The hevier nucleum are also needed to allow a bigger atmosphere whitch can support such a big organism releasing CO2 without a constant warehouse effect.

At this rate I am going to need a Phd in sience to read this thread

You believe in a legend...
Seriously, the Karavan would never have the power to hide a giant dragon in the core of Atys.

the kami aint divine too
