The dumbest thing I did...probably went way overboard with breeding a male bird beaked son of a wanderer with Tons of females because I wanted beak. I bred to tons of females, including a bearyena snout female. Only two beaked babies came out of it. Both were infertile. Gahhh! fortunately I quit doing that because I had started a whale island save that was doing much better in the beak and wings department lol so that’s how I turned my first save into a suffering tribe in the grass adventure island with about 25 members and less than 100 food. (It used to be forty members, same amount of food, but I realized that was too many and banished half my tribe.)4 points

I can't recall anything particularly dumb that I did before... I think the dumbest thing I did was back in the snow biome update. I blazed through the starter island without preparing ahead of time and then died in the snow biome the next day 😅 (During this, I got the weird screenshot of the "hairy guy in a hot tub staring at my crippled son"...)4 points

I started playing a roleplay challenge where after three generations, one of the nichelings declares themself the "alpha", or dictator of the tribe. In my first challenge save, I was sticking exactly to the rules of the "Utopia" challenge, where after three generations, rejected nichelings get drowned in the ocean, and this includes wanderers. In that save, I played it on Tiny Green because it's difficult to escape, and had my rejects hide in a patch of tall grass near a whale island port that was never cleared. Here's the dumb part: On that first save file, one of the nichelings got an idea: have the rejects secretly breed with each other to produce children that are acceptable, and then send the children into the main tribe as "wanderers". The "wanderers" would add to the gene pool, and spread their agenda of resisting the dictatorship. That sounds good on paper until you realize that the traits that could get a nicheling rejected include bad paw, bad eyesight/blindness, derp nose, and gene combinations that render a nicheling useless. (That last one is a judgement call.) Here's the even dumber part: That idea actually worked. Within a few generations, there was no point to having the secret tribe anymore because one member was getting old and the other was technically acceptable but chose to hold off because she looked too similar to her sister. By that point, the main tribe disliked the current dictator for being petty and irresponsible, so they revealed themselves and kicked out the dictator.3 points

The dumbest thing I did was way back when the jungle update came out to head straight there and almost die because of the apes ^^ Now I guess just following the rough rules of my warrior cats challenge (babies have to be born close to each other, new warriors have to be named close to the leader, same goes for apprentices)3 points

I'd be lying if I were to claim that it doesn't benefit me in any way, but it has become a strange little ritual. If a wandering female appears, I let her mate with the strongest male. She then searches for a perfect nesting spot, and, if she is lucky, will have a child there. Her strenght and appearance don't matter. Unless his eyesight isn't full or she has the no paw, she won't get anything to mutate. It's her line. What doesn't really benefit me, though, is continuing that line at times. That can really go on when they just have great match ups. Mom Gen 1 and son. Mom 2 was another wanderer. Gen 3. There are a lot of bushes and a tree here, plus, no bugs. I don't have pictures of other lines, sadly. I suppose it is a tradition in the name of Mythal, though there are exceptions. It's of no use in the jungle or in cold biomes if both are going to freeze to death if not slaughtered. Males are only chosen... if they are pretty. Is this reverse sexism? Exceptions are made when they serve a purpose One way to get water genes. Or when I am desperate and playing blind genes. Pretty children, tough. Luckily neither passed on the no paw. I think he had two novel immunity genes and the big ears. His grandson got a harem. He was the only male born and the creature limit raised to 19. The bearyena ears happened during a generic bottleneck. I am guessing they all have them in some way. The dumb thing I do is risk taking. It pays off so well tough, at times. The whims didn't starve with that scorpion tail. Even if three no paw derpsnouts were bred for it and that water line consisted of him banging his own daughter.3 points

I was watching my sister play on the save file I let her have. I watched as she placed all of her nichelings around her favorite one on her last day alive while singing a mournful song. Wasted pretty much the whole days worth of turns. I told her this but apparently she thinks this is more important now I am curious. Do you do anything that doesn’t benefit you in any way?2 points

Hi there, since i bought the game after seeing it on my favorite youtubers channel (thanks Seri!), I am trying to visit all islands to get the achievement. But over the weeks and months i lost track.... My suggestion: Whale-Island is out and you can choose which Island to travel to. Wouldn't it be great if it actually shows you, which Islands you already visited? And when you land on a "new" island, there is a notification saying: "This island looks familiar. Your ancestors tell stories about it as long as you can remember" or "This island looks completely new! What adventures may await you here?" Greetings, Kaga872 points

I would think that heterochromia would be like albinism and melanism. There would be a gene to have it or not have it. You need to have both genes in order to make heterochromia appear. After you have both genes, instead of turning your niche white or black it changes the eye colors. The eye colors depend on what 2 eye color genes you already have.2 points

Share all the stuff that happened to your Nichelings while they were in the jungle here! R.I.P.... R.I.P. a female whose father was a rogue-male, a beloved female, and their two rogue-born sons. Oh, look, an Ape and a Rogue Male are here too. Last and not least, Mekoko, the Goddess of Trickery. (She appeared to the same tribe as the one just above) First of all, she appeared to a Nicheling who was inside a carnivorous plant as his relative tried to help get him out. I thought she was trying to save this poor creature at first, but after the next event it looks more like she was helping the plant eat its victim. Eee. Then, as two females who were pregnant with a Rogue Male's children were searching for a safe place away from the carnivorous plants and sickness bugs, Mekoko appeared yet again. The two females followed her, expecting a safe place. They found a place seemingly safe,and had their sons. Later, as these two mothers were swallowed by carnivorous plants and taunted by a Big nosed Ape, they were mistaken. This 'Goddess of Safety', as they called her, was not a Goddess of Safety. She was a Goddess of Trickery. *dun dun DUNNN*2 points

So I tried what I could with the mask, fur colour, pattern colour, density, size and type. Resulting in two saves of murder large tribe sizes of raccoons and pandas of every snout and fur combination imagineable. But no achievements. What am I missing? Please help and share the combination if you can. I don't know what I am doing wrong.1 point

While responding to a comment from Goggles-Kun, I came to a realization. There is a good reason while there may never be mods in niche. If we consider it, people could make a lot of horrible things, like turning predators into levitating organs, including certain traumatizing diseases, altering some genes so they look more... realistic, and even turning the heads of every creature into purr snout heads to stare into our souls, and make hordes of rogue purr snouts spawn and stare even more. And anyone could install these mods. Also modding could make some less interested in the updates.1 point

Lol, as someone who mods his Skyrim to death and has at least 1 mod in all other moddable games this is an odd thing to hear. Of course modders can do horrible things but no one forces you to download them ^^ so I think it would be an odd thing for somebody to say that is the reason why there is no mod support XD As stated above the devs said it would be to difficult which I find super sad because I loooooooove modding, sigh. If we had Niche mod support I might have started creating mods myself1 point

Well, I read what you both said here and in the comments section of the other post. I think that it is an interesting thought and it might be partially be right, I believe the devs have stayed multiple times that there will not be any modding due to how difficult it would be to implement since they would essentially have to rework the entire game. But like I said earlier, it definitely could be that they may just say this since it is their main reasoning.1 point

If your kids have watched videos of it then they will probably understand it well. The only problem is that some islands may be a bit difficult for a seven year old, but It surely wont matter on the long run. Well, they may be jump scared by apes in the jungle levels... Just kidding. The apes look quite funny.1 point

I released Sickly Bear... and now she has spread her sickness to 3 of the other former tribemates + Nut-cracking Bear. Why, Sickly Bear?? Do you wish to curse us forever?? Edit: Strong Bear and Stronger Bear had twins. Note to self: Breeding Strong Bear and Stronger Bear results in Sickly and possibly Blind children. And the Random Mutation generator isn't helping very well. (I know he's short-sighted because his Eyesight stat is 1.) Though Strong Bear didn't have much luck having kids with Stronger Bear, Strong Bear's child (whose father was a wanderer) did! Now that Strong Bear that passed away (R.I.P. 😢), Even Stronger Bear is leader. But her little sister still needs a name! Please give me some suggestions!1 point

So far all the updates to the game have been for free and as Wander said there are no lootboxes or microtransactions. The developers also have not said that the new update coming in early 2019 will cost something. The game is in a finished state as of now and playable even without future updates I think all the parts about Kidfriendly are very well answered above. Nothing is to intimate or graphic in Niche and when the children understand the genetics and strategy aspect of the game and enjoy it they'll probably love Niche1 point

This is poor Dandelionheart a healer who sacrificed herself to pick food in the jungle so that all the Nichelings on the safe heaven could live on. This is said safe heaven Surprisingly enough I don't have that many jungle misadventures, though when you think about the fact that I hate the jungle and avoid going there as much as possible it is not that surprising ^^1 point

I think this would require a specific gene. There are MANY types of venom, and the venom from poison fangs is one that only causes damage over time. There could be a different variant of poison fangs with paralyzing venom.1 point

I haven't noticed too wildly different spawnrates. What might be the case, though... The easier one has defined zones. The medium one doesn't and there tend to be bugs everywhere. They aren't difficult tough, the most unfortunate and common thing you could prepare for is running into a bearyena when your animals have the sleeping sickness.1 point

A long, distant cousin family to Adam's tribe wandered off. One of those such nichelings was Nunukir. He was double digger pawed, and had webbed hindlegs, and as such the female nicheling he had been stuck with, Raanala, a one digger pawed one runner pawed nicheling scoffed at the idea of having cubs with him. But, as they grew she eventually accepted there was little hope she'd find anyone else. So, she soon bred with Nunukir and had their first child, Anaanako. She was also double digger pawed, and Raanala growled in frustration. "Our children our doomed because of your stupid paws and legs!" She growled at her mate. "It's not my fault I was born like this! Please, Raa, let's just have one more cub. I'm sure this time will be different." He soothed. "Lies!" She spat. "I won't condemn anymore to being as useless as you or I!" She then trudged off to pick some berries with her one good paw. Nunukir sighed and trudged off, wading into the sandy shores of the and cracking open a clam in the waters. However, both nichelings had found creatures who would change their lives. Forever. Nunukir found a wandering nicheling with lean body and peacock tail, Resi. He immediately fell hard. Resi was kind, understanding, and didn't seem to care that Nunukir was horrible at being on land, or that all he could do was dig for roots and crack open clam shells. She also had her issues, like being shortsighed and partically incapable of baring cubs. However though, after some time of getting to know each other, the two set off together and had a child, Kirkuvan. He had nimble fingers, which made Nunukir overjoyed. Sure, he didn't have the dramatic and frilly tail of males of Resi's tribe that she had talked about, but they loved him none the less. Now back to Raanala... She had found a wandering male, who was the epitome of beauty in her eyes. Tanuro, a big bodied and antlered male. He was picking berries with his one good paw, as he was like Raanala, and had one digger paw and one runner's leg. Now, for her, the epitome of beauty was big bodied, strong, and poison fanged. While he did not meet the poison fanged part, he met everything else in her eyes and they fell in love, having a daughter that Raanala thought was the sure sign she had found her true soul mate. Rela. She was strong and poison fanged, and striped gorgeously. She loved her daughter on sight, and immediately began to have more and more children with Tanuro, until he died. He died peacefully, as he was older than Raanala by quite a few years. They had four sons, Kukirnu, Dukduk, Dukvan, and the youngest, Kirnuduk. Raanala loved her children, especially Kirnuduk, as she imagined a great future for him espeically. However, none bore the beautiful big body either of former mates had, which did make her a little sad. But, she loved them none the less. Meanwhile, Raa's first daughter, Anaanako, was wandering alone in the grasses to find roots for her mother. She was sad her father had left, and that she had no full siblings, but she understood that she should still provide for her family none the less. After all, they were a growing tribe and she could dig better than anyone else. However, soon a loud, threatening growl came from the grasses. Her ears pricked and she looked behind her, eyes wide in shock as she spotted a bearyena. As her half siblings ram to get their older siblings to help fight, she guarded their escape by throwing herself at the beast and ramming her small frame into it. However, it didn't help, and she got severely wounded and bitten. Soon though, her brothers came to her aid and slayed the bearyena, licking her wounds without a thank you and wanderng off with the meat. They didn't even give her any. She sighed and smiled, knowing she had protected them. Not too far away, Resi let out a wail before sighing in relief as her second, and final child was born. Issi. She smiled weakly and licked her child, nuzzling her before soon passing, curled around her one and only daughter. She had been too old to bare the birth, and had died. The small cub curled up to her side and soon her, unknown to all of them, half brothers came and found her. They hauled her from her nest and took her in. All were enamored with her, every single one of the tribe. Except for Rela. Rela was glaring at the young cub, seeing the way her brothers eyed up the nicheling with awe and envy. "You're all fools." She scoffed at them. Kukirnu blinked and looked up at her. "And why's that Ree?" He asked, tilting his head. "You're all so enamored with that.. thing. It's disgusting. She's disgusting. Honestly, can you not tell what true beauty is, you fools?" She growled, pointing her heart shaped nose to the sky "Oh, so we're supposed to be in love with you?" Dukvan laughed. "No way. You're our sister and while we love you, it ain't in that way." The other three chorused in agreement. "Plus, what's gotten into you?" Dukduk asked, seeming confused at her hostility. All four brothers were aware she was proud of her looks, but even this was odd for the normally caring and kind Rela. She scoffed. "Nothing. It's just it's weird to see you all enamored over something so ugly." She hmphed. "One day, you'll all realize it was a horrible deicison to bring her into the tribe." She turned and santured off, still acting all high and mighty. However once she reached the grasses, she turned and glared at the small cub recieving so much affection. "Just you wait, brothers. You'll regret ever finding her in those grasses." She growled, her brown eyes gleaming with rage and hatred before she stalked off, her striped tail rustling the grasses before it all went still. The End! Should I make a sequel~?1 point

Peaceful herbivore challenge: You cant attack any other animal, including rogue males. You can only run and breed in the best genes to deter predators. Lions of the skies challenge: You must have a tribe of mostly males and only one or two permanent females. You release females when they are two gemmed and the males have to find them to mate when the become adults. Then, they can mate 1 to 3 times before the female is released again. Your goal is to unlock all bird genes. Peackock tail will aid you in mating songs for the females and wings will help you search for them if they are not attracted. Males get a better rank depending on their strength, beauty, leadership and how many females they have attracted. As a bonus, if you are in a snowy island you could have a set breeding season in a set breeding ground. For example, when it snows, the males call the females and bring them to the breeding ground so they can keep warm and start families, and when the snow stops, the females are released again to continue their solitary and adventurous lives.1 point

They couldn't do much, but I liked them anyway.1 point

Rogue Island. I am not sure you'll like it, though, I tend to follow too many rules. Hard rules: it's best to use a safe that has all genes unlocked. You start on a hard Island with 100 food. You cannot mate with or allow wanderers into the tribe. With the console, your starting pair will be puny rogues. Derp snout, double no paw, no horn, frog legs, barely fertile, hemophilia, lean body, white fur, mask pattern. Either fully shortsighted eyes or one blind and one normal gene. Both mutation slots are decided by a random generator. In Addition, there is a 0-10 system attributed to each male. Roling a 0 means the female can receive a rec. mutation now. The mutation is chosen by rolling the random generator 3 times. Which genes will be best for the tribe is your choice, tough. Rolling 1-4 means the child born to the male in that order will receive a mutation. 8 allows one gender change. 10 to move one slot to the left or right when rolling for mutations of either parent. 5,6,7,9 will give you nothing. So do sick children. The goal is to create a functioning tribe without any of the starter's bad traits. Tip for feeding yourself: Picking poison berry bushes with a double no paw has a way higher success chance than normal berry bushes. This is the only challenge that might lead you to thinking: "I hope my starting female finds a rogue male, they have way better genes on average." Defining your own rules is fun, though. These are just some inspiration.1 point

Deltora quest challenge, based on Deltora quest: -You must have an alpha pair, the king and queen who's rank is alpha. -You must also have a council and some lords and ladies, also alphas. -The first generation, your king and queen can have 5 kids, every other pair must have 1 child only, that will be the heir, the first child of the first pair will be king/queen. -The current ruler can only have a mate chosen for them from the royalty, they are chosen for them by a chief advisor. -The royal family can not leave a certain area surrounded by "guards" who are beta rank. -everyone else is an omega. The nest challenge: -You must keep every nicheling in a nest while they sleep, if you don't you must give them a negative gene in their mutation/get them to pick from a cactus or clear thorns.1 point

I think it’s a jungle gene meaning you can only get it from creatures from the jungle. I don’t know how rare it is for jungle wanderers but the fact that you can only get it in the jungle makes it rare in that sense.1 point

@RandomWanderer maybe when you start the game you can just pick if you want the ability to change it or not. that way you can have that game mode that stops you from cheating and if someone wants to change it in game they can do that. these sandbox options are all about customizing things so why not have both.1 point
