  1. Agreed and fixed ^^ Will be in the next update. (This was actually a bug :D)

  2. YES. This would be so useful for challenges like a Lion Pride challenge, because Males would be mating with all the females- in regular Niche, that will usually end up in some sick babies. But with this, it would mean no worries for the rest of your days! It's a problem free, philosophy! Hakuna Matata! Okay, I'm done...

  3. Fun fact about lions: female lions are sexually mature with 4-5 years, male lions usually can't hold a pride longer than 4-5 years so there usually is very little incest in lion prides going on This would make a lot of challenges a lot easier not only the lion one

  4. Why does heat body not warm up animals next to it if it has heat radiation? @Philo I mean it does melt the snow (which is really cool btw) but shouldn't it also warm up other creatures? And I mean without creating the triangle of death/everlasting warmth XD

  5. Honestly, I have the most fun in my tribes when they're low on food. With this, I can have fun in all my tribes! You could set a limit of any number, and from then on the game wouldn't let you get any more food than that. Let's say you choose 100 food at your limit. At the time your tribe already has 300 food, so 200 of the food automatically disappears. You're now at 100 food. You have one of your creatures gather some berries. The berries are picked, but they aren't added to the food count, because you are already at your maximum. You pass the day, now you have 98 food. You collect three berries with one move. Two of the berries go into the food store, but the remaining one disappears-because you're at the max. If you want to change the maximum or turn the feature off, you can do it at any time. This feature would make the game more challenging, but it could also make it more fun. There's nothing like being on the brink of survival and not having much food

  6. ooh i like the idea of it gaining Armour as time goes on so that you have ti exterminate it quickly unless you are super strong

  7. i'd rather not have the chance of unsuccessful births, it is hard enough getting a breeding pair without that, having the chance of unsuccessful births and it will make the game worse. Because if you leave it up to luck it will come at the worst time possible, like it does with gender and immunity genes.

  8. Okay I can't title good but here's the bug The nicheling I highlited with a red circle got stuck in the plant by flying next to it. And when I turn my camera, he turns with it, and I never moved him off of the plant's tile. Pictures above are basically just the bug in action. So yuuup.

  9. Exactly. Lemme see if I can try something... I think that just makes them worse, but perhaps it's because they look angry? Lemme try another thing: I guess that looks okay

  10. Good morning! I'm Goggles! (But literally everyone on Steam calls me Juno.) I'm a huge Nintendo fangirl, and I especially take interest in the Mario, Zelda, and Splatoon series. I also like genetics, so that's probably why I'm here! Niche has made an interesting shift in my life, but I'm not obsessed with it... (anymore, at least.) But I still like to do things, like stalk Niche's Twitter page 😈 Oh, hobbies. My hobbies aren't particularly special, but I love to draw and play games. And that's pretty much it. Uh... Stay Fresh, or whatever.

  11. These two random wanderers are the perfect example of recessive genes at work: Honey, did you cheat on me with my father? The pumpkin lady Dad in White, pictured with the first poison fanged creature since Adam. A great find Are you sure that's mine? An Army of Adams, improved Adams.

  12. But this is to make sandbox basically a creative mode like in minecraft. It is supposed to take the challenge away, as many people requested for sandbox.

  13. I agree that some things sound great on paper and are not good in games. Also I agree that the immunity genes are way to unbalanced, same goes with the gender but it is 'just' bad luck (as the devs said: it is not a bug, I made posts about immunity issues and gender issues but all is as it is supposed to be in game). I am super annoyed by having so many immunity gene problems and gender problems. About the challenge aspect. The original suggestions about miscarriages were in the end popular if they were optional. As we are talking about customization options for sandbox mode miscarriages would be a feature that could be turned on and off. I love challenges. I would love it with an unbalanced aspect and with more balance but I can totally see that not everybody plays Niche for the challenge and that some features need to be toggleable if added at all.

  14. I'd create an island that was an extensive ocean with shallow and deep water, and islands made of mostly beach tiles with some mountain tiles as well, for rocks in the middle of the sea. Clams, a few coconut trees and crabbits are the main sources of food for Nichelings who cannot breathe underwater, but further down there are fish of all kinds and worms to be gathered with Platypus Beak. The climate of the island would be +1 heat, unless it's raining, then it would be 0 heat. Maybe there could even be a new tide mechanic, where every five or so days the ocean would rise and bring with it a lot of clams, and after five days it'd fall again and take any clams with them, as well as pull creatures who are in the water and have less swimming than their distance to the nearest beach/mountain tile out into the sea, one tile, two tiles or even three tiles far, depending on how deep the tile they are standing on is. This way, Nichelings who aren't careful could get swept away by the ocean and drown. Crabbits would get swept three tiles far, no exception, unless of course there's on land when the water retreats.

  15. I was thinking about a canyon island, where there are deep canyons where the top is covered in rocks. I’m not sure what biome that would be, though.

  18. maybe you could also do something like max is 5 food per nicheling as well. you could do that manually but itd be nice if this was an option anyway.

  21. I'm always hesitant to breed Purr Snout in, not because of what it does (it's very useful,) but it's because it spooks me. Just... look at this... It's even scarier with black eyes x_x I'm sure a lot of people don't find it scary, I just thought this would be an interesting discussion: does anyone else think Purr Snout is spooky?

  22. I think it would be cool if there were an ear gene to make bird-like creatures feel even more bird-like. These are some of my ideas of what a bird ear could look like. Please let me know which design(s) you like the best if any, and feel free to chime in with more ideas if you have any. Ultimately if there were a bird ear gene implemented, I would likely only want 1-2 (if they offer a lot of variety, then 2; otherwise, just 1 would be nice) to be chosen as "the bird/feathered ear allele(s)", so to speak. These are just some possibilities I came up with on the fly. 😉 Gene modifiers by each design (some of them have either/ors because I can't decide which is better; that's where your input comes in): a. No visible ear, covered by fur. Your classic, simple bird design. +3 hearing (normal hearing). b. Feathered ear (kind of like dodomingo). +3 hearing (normal hearing), +1 cold resistance (due to the extra feathering), -1 heat resistance (due to the extra feathering). c. Phoenix-like layered feather ear. Is much longer and fancier than the feathered ear. Either +3 hearing (normal hearing) or +2 hearing (less than normal hearing because of the thick feathering around the ear), +2 cold resistance, -2 heat resistance (more temperature differences than feathered ear just because of the length), -1 or -2 camouflage (because they're so noticeable). d. Tufted ear, a little like a great-horned owl's tufts called "plumicorns", which are not actually part of their ears, but I based this design off of them visually. This design also comes with the bird-of-prey "brow". +4 hearing (since it's based on a bird of prey, which is known for great hearing), +1 or +2 cold resistance (due to the extra feathering), -1 heat resistance (due to the extra feathering), -1 camouflage (because they stick up so much) +1 camouflage in trees (changed because scientists currently hypothesize that owls with tufts benefit from their branch-like appearance), +1 speed (the thin, angled back design aids streamlining, which is important in fast movement). e. Ear hole visible. Certain bird species have more clearly seen ear holes than others, such as ostriches, which have less feathering on their heads than many other bird species. Even though this design is based on ostriches, this doesn't mean that the nicheling's head overall would appear to have less fur. It just means that the ear hole can be seen as opposed to letter a's covered ear hole. +4 hearing (ostriches have good hearing, and the bare ear hole likely helps), + 1 heat resistance (because less feathering), -1 cold resistance (because less feathering). Thanks for considering this idea!

  23. There are many players who do challenges in Niche already. I think it would be great if you could design challenges and also include a win condition. That way, the game will make sure you can't cheat and tell you when you reached the goal you set.

  24. It makes no sense. I once thought there is one... But I have had a few females hit rogue males. (for science, totally) Sometimes they run away, sometimes they mate, independent of age, strenght and energy of the female. They will always go for females with no energy, but whether a female with full energy scares him away or not is random. The only defense is the spiky body. It does seem that old rogue males are way more likely to mate instead of running away. Some will stick to a single male... can they be gay? Are they buggy? Alhough, I did once have an exorbitantly pretty scout, so pretty I thought him female at birth, and so did the rogues... Anyway, does anybody know the method behind this madness? @Philo?

  26. Yeah, I like the bottom edit. Here's my take: Alternative to taking away sideburns is making them a bit more soft or making them point downwards. I'm thinking of Tom's wisps of fur on the side of his head.

  27. Holy crap! I remember when spit-snout (I absolutely refuse to call it derp snout), was literally the spawn of satan o_o This little boy is adorable tbh, but THIS THIS THING RIGHT HERE IS ABSOLUTELY HORRIFYING! (this was taken back when the textures were kinda broken) The new spit-snouts aren't really as bad... but the purr snouts are still giving me a spook ;-;

  28. Yeah, I find purr snout a bit more unsettling than some of the other faces. Then again, I don't like derpsnout either; derpsnout used to be even creepier with black eyes (they used to be called spitsnouts), but it's better now since you can see the whites of their eyes now. Isn't this absolutely creepy?

  29. I think it’s a tad spooky with black eyes. I’m getting used to it though since my starter female had purr snout and now I have quite a few nichelings with it ^^

  30. Could you describe what exactly might seem off? Maybe the somewhat-smile with the unsmiling eyes? People do find dolls creepy, aswell. Though the purr snout doesn't seem to stare much more than the other snouts to me. What I find creepy though, is a certain angle on the digging trucks. The eyes bulge right out of the skull, as if they might fall out at any moment.

  32. Okay, good to know. +2 cold instead of +1 cold for b could work, too, but I guess Dazenith's problem with b's stats is that they're too similar rather than differentiated. Unfortunately, both ears look like they could serve similar functions, although they look vastly different. I do think a bird ear is more pertinent to include in the future, though, since we already have bird beaks and wings.

  33. Maybe instead of the old system, which annoyingly caused you to accidentally change a nicheling's name to AaaAAaA or some other long gibberish name, there can be a naming button (like the one found in the family tree screen) that you have to purposely click in the circle profile before you can change the name. To save the name, just press enter. Either put the naming button on: a.the side panel with the 4 current options as a new 5th option OR b. inside of the circle profile near the name.

  39. I have many ideas, like a really elevated cliff island with unstable tiles that could make you fall to the deep sea, goats with deer antlers that balance in the mountains, and vultures that eat the meat and bones and try to push nichelings into the sea, and fiendly seal like creatures resting in the shore. But there are also multiple archipelago ideas, like the burning archipelago, an archipelago with the burning savannah biome, where islands burn to the ground and you have to flee, but the water is inhabited by cow sharks, like bull sharks but smaller and with spots, and they assault crossing creatures, and there are also the redbirds, which are capable of stealing two gemmed nichelings.

  40. i coulda swore it said in the niche wiki that it is chosen completely randomly and they should all be equally likely but i cant find it now to take a screeny. maybe they changed the wiki idk.

  41. Okay okay this is so funny. So I got to a grass mingle and like 25 days in, I see this. Two Koi together, with fish surrounding them and a very pretty scene with the algae in the bottom, like a yin and yang fish thing! Like this! Now my tribe will worship Koi. Why? Because why not.
