  1. Hey pack More and more people are using the console. That's cool because if gives you more stuff to play around with. But we're also receiving sooo many emails with bug reports and in the end, it pretty much always turns out that the problem was console related ^^' So we're now considering to run a console fixing session What bugs would you want fixed?

  2. Dear Drone Engineers, We just released a new update for the Closed Alpha of Nimbatus! Here are the patch notes: New Features New drone selection screen Drone browser to share drones using Steam Workshop Tutorial Added On/ Off Switch (Like a flipflop) Added XNor Gate Added Factory part that can print and decouple drone parts Batteries and fueltanks now trigger events when they are full / empty Added overlap detection and other warnings to the drone workshop Added keyboard shortcuts to the drone workshop Reworks: Reworked the galaxy map Reworked all savefiles The resource container now has sliding doors to make it less deadly! The snake now reacts to you when you destroy eggs Fixed the attack of the hammerhead and made it more readable Fixed minor UI bugs Bugfixes: Bio barrels, meteors and chests gives resources when collected Increased impact resistance of bio barrels and jungle chests Camera can now also be moved around by mouse cursor when a tracker part is focused. We are closing in on the Early Access release on Steam We need your help to test the game to prepare it for the release! Please share your thoughts and feedback in our forum and report all bugs you encounter. Especially keep an eye out for bugs with the new Steam Workshop drone sharing! In case we detect major bugs with the new savefiles or with the drone workshop in this update, we might have to reset the Steam Workshop again for the Early Access release, so we don't have broken or buggy drones online. Happy testing! Cheers, Stray Fawn Studio Warning: This update does not support older drones or savefiles. If you want to continue playing with the old savefiles please switch to the previous branch on steam. Here is how: – Open your Steam library– Right click on Nimbatus in the Steam library– Select Properties / Beta– Select the Beta tab– Select the branch from the drop down and restart Steam if the game does not update

  3. You probably all know the struggle of trying to see past the bluebirds on your island. Especially when there are a lot of them or you play on a mountain and they tend to fly pretty low anyway. In earlier versions of the game the bluebirds tended to fly higher, I guess that was changed because we can now attack them with winged Nichelings but it is also super annoying. I am currently in the mountains and couldn't see my breeding pair as I wanted to because the bird was basically sitting ontop of them. I am not sure though what would be the best solution. Either make the bluebird less visible when zooming in, which could be a problem because you might overlook it easier or make the bluebird fly higher again, which I would prefer. What are your ideas and are you as bothered as I am?

  5. I haven't played around with the console in ages but it used to sometimes make it impossible to skip the day and be stuck in night (usually fixed by closing and repopening the game) and Nichelings eyes being closed even though they have all their energy. Would be nice if those could be fixed

  7. We will use this thread to post fresh screenshots, videos and gifs of the new features and things we are currently working on. Here a sneak peak of the new call I'm working on. It can be used while you are on top of a treestump and it has a chance to attract wild animals! The lower your population, the higher the chance

  8. Hi pack! We are super happy to announce that the new update is now live on the preview branch Here are the patch notes with all the changes, fixes and new things. Please remember that this is an UPDATE PREVIEW. This means that there will be LOTS of bugs! We need your help to find them, so we can fix them. If you just want to play and enjoy, it might be best to wait a few weeks, so that everything will be running without problems ^^ If you want to jump right in and help with bugtesting, please switch to the preview branch on Steam. Here is how: – Open your Steam library – Right click on Niche – Click on properties – Select the Beta tab – Select the release_preview branch from the drop down – Restart Steam if the game does not update – Let the game update – Open Niche and play Please report bugs here Please do a quick check if the bug has already been reported. If it has, leave a comment on the existing thread instead of opening a new one. That helps to keep things organized. Thanks! If anyone is playing on GOG: Sorry, we only do update previews on Steam, since it's way easier to push new things fast. The finished update will be released on GOG too of course! There are a few things missing (sound effects, textures for the tails). Hope you enjoy the new update! Let us know what you think

  9. *Running Niche Version 1.1.4* So, a few days ago I started a new save file in order to see if I could complete any of the pattern achievements, and, while I managed to breed this little melanistic child, I did not receive the Melanism achievement. I was connected to both Steam and the internet while playing. I have attached the particular save file this child exists in just in case that's needed If there is anymore information you'd like me to give, please let me know! Slot2.nichesave

  12. Oh yes please! I have always wanted to use the console but didn't want the bugs that came with it. This is a great idea. I think the biggest bugs should be fixed first. So that we can play the saves.

  16. An LED on the Drone Brain would be cool, like the inner hexagon as an LED that can be set in the settings of the drone brain

  17. Interesting idea. Maybe a bit too strong and it might obscure the playfield too much (except if we would make it semi-transparent). But we'll keep it in mind for when we work on new weapon upgrades. Thank you for your suggestion

  18. If you can't find AppDate you can't find the files, Micah explained how to make your AppData Folder visible. In the end the save file folder should be titled saves and it looks something like this inside: @bostonlobstah As far as I am aware you can't change which slot your save file is in but you can still play the Slot.3 one. If you make a back up of your Slot.3 tribe and switch it with the new slot.3 you can just swap them as you like

  19. @bostonlobstah AppData is a hidden folder, in order to see it you have to go to View and tick the box on Hidden Files and Folders. You can also type %AppData% into the explorer bar to navigate directly to AppData.

  20. Which slot a savefile uses is stored inside the savefile, renaming the file will unfortunately not change the slot.

  22. Niche wiki does explain it. Oxygen Not Included wiki explains things too. The point is that new players don't have to exit the game and search everything online because there's an in-game explanation. Just generally it's annoying if you have to look up online to learn how to play a game. It should be obvious from playing the game. As it is now, one of the more common complaints on steam reviews is that it's hard for new players to learn things. I thought this might ease the learning curve a bit. Not everybody is willing to exit the game to google stuff.

  24. Nope. As I said in the previous post, I am putting it in an empty slot.

  25. LOL! I would love to have this save as well....that is hilarious! How did your starters not drown?? Also what island is it? Also PS those are some pretty strong starters. You must have caught tons of fish plus this gave me an idea... what if I started making a ton of new saves and sharing the luckiest ones with others? But I would not make any progress on the game myself. For example if someone wanted an archipelago save with a purrsnout starter, I give it to them.

  27. I would make a mix between the jungle and the mountains, separated by a river and a small grassland island. There would maybe be a small island off to the side, requiring swimming to, that would be a 'whale island' biome (birch trees, stinky fruit, slightly higher chance of winged wanderers, etc.). That way, there would be two safe havens (although it still might snow on them). I personally think it might have potential for some interesting stories.
