Well, my walrus deer sometimes run of into the water which is super annyoing and they also defend themselves when you surround them on every tile with a Nicheling so maybe their fear stat isn't so high because of that? Ram foxes can be quite dangerous for weak, isolated Nichelings as Random Wanderer said

Could we get an option for factory parts that toggles whether the parts attached to them will be there when the mission starts? Some of the autonomous things that I want to print with factory blocks have thrusters on them and I would appreciate being able to just not have them there until I'm ready to print and release rather than releasing them underneath the Nimbatus or trying to fly with them still attached.

Well, this was what I thinked after watching some of jessimew's videos. The walrus deer just walk into the nicheling's greedy paws and no matter how many times they are attacked, they keep coming back! Do they have a fear stat? Why do they tend towander into nichelings? Also, what goes trough the mind of the ramfoxes? They dont seem to be too fierce, Its as if they only liked hunting bunnies.

Hopefully I'm not restating something someone else said (and hopefully you can't actually already do this and I'm just dumb and can't figure out how to do it myself) but I think it would be nice to be able to rename saved games. I always forget to name my saves when creating them and I end up with them all named New Game which is really confusing. Especially since I can't go back and rename them later. Even when remembering to name them, it'd be nice to be able to rename my save to the name of the current biome I'm in or the name of my current pack or something , too, to avoid confusion with my other saves. Sorry if this is already a feature or someone else has already suggested it!

when you are in the galaxy vieuw, its nice and all but it would be sick if the planets where orbiting thier sun, just a small estatic change that would make it look soo much nicer

Quick overnieuw: If you have seen the guardians of the galaxy 2, there is a part in the movie with "quantum meteors" these meteors teleport short distances or "go to the 4th dimension and back" anyway, this would make for a crazy hard planet if the ground coult teleport in its atmosphere and fall back down. in defense of yourself there could also be a new defence mechanism that prevents rocks to spawn in you, its kinda like a shield but "in the 4th dimention" Planet theme: Colors: purle and gray? idk what looks best for this thing Added part: - Quantum shield (defence mechanism that prevents rocks to spawn in you, its kinda like a shield but "in the 4th dimention") - Quantum shooter (shoots bullets temporarely in the 4th dimenstion so it can shoot thru small walls) - Quantum storage transferer (can transfer resources in a short distance) By: Fire209 Extra difficulty: Pieces of the ground teleporting randomly and falling back to other positions Resources: Yellow, red and Maybe a purple resource? Missions: Destroy transmistter (has more protectors and also a 4th dimension protection), Destroy planet? kill the giant monster(3x bigger than the hammerhead and has some special abilities), Destroy the quantum hives (basicly bee hives but pruple and more dangerous and cant travel in 4th dimenstion but can shoot in it) I think it would be sick if this got added to the game, and let me know what you think of this idea If this post has a lot of spell errors, i have dislectia so you know

Anyone remember those old harvester drone-things from the demo? Well, i thought of a possible weapon type/upgrade that essentially creates a tiny drone launcher! It would have different tracking settings (enemies, resources, terrain...), but it would use lots of energy and also fuel. What do you think?

Some people at the steamforums suggested the same, I'll add the following to the discussion: Add a Toggle which decides what is 100%. Settings: Radius, Container, Nimbatus, Drone Brain Add a relative Altimeter, which measures not the distance from the center of the planet, but a raycast to the surface as a guide.

There are quite some wishes for making advanced logic easier. We haven't found a good and satisfactory solution yet, but we definitely have the hardcore logic lovers in our field of view and at least try to find a good solution

I like some of the ideas here, like maybe this purple resource could be used for quantum or spacial-esque upgrades, like as you said, a quantum shield, a short teleport that consumes energy, and other stuff, like maybe a short-range resouce transfer?

By far the most terrifying is the meat eating plant one. A seven tile radius and they wander the island?! Gods help us.

I had to do a project a few years ago about my future job that required an interactive component. I want to be a genetic engineer, so I was trying to find a video game that involved genetics and I stumbled upon the Niche Kickstarter. I was disappointed that the game wouldn’t be out in time for my presentation so I left it. Later, I was recommended a Niche youtube video and soon after found Jessimew and fell in love with the game. I’ve always loved genetics and video games so Niche was the perfect game for me!

I had been wanting to play a game with breeding mechanics for a long time. I just googled games with breeding mechanics. A lot of results were stuff I already played, and like.... it had breeding but that wasn't the main focus of gameplay. Things like pokemon, the chao gardens in sonic adventure 2, final fantasy 7 chocobo breeding, fire emblem awakening It was kind of surprising how few games i could find with breeding at its core. This game was like the only game i could find that came even close to what i wanted, and i am totally satisfied. Also, if the team who made Super Meat Boy ever do finish that cat breeding game called "Mew-genics" you kno i'm totally going to buy it.

Maybe they can't feel pain but are just a little bit skittish. No, but really, it kind of forces your hand to make them that way as a foodsource. But you know that. I keep wondering what they eat in the killer mountains. Those plants for nestern material? The pine trees? That's never going to be enough... Maybe they wait till your nichelings die and eat the corpse. That would explain a thing or three. Wanderers would be their usual supplementary diet, and not strong enough to do much damage on average. Aside from that, there are quite some around, so they reproduce quickly and can take a risk. I'd be nice to have some game-lore. Just some non-nightmare inducing stuff.

This is more confusing than logic gates

i found a planet that only has 6 snake eggs Version: 0.5.7 Planet: Laerovo System: Magiwizhe system Galaxy: #13 Slot1.nSave Slot1.nSave.Meta

I think it would be really nice if gates outputs and inputs could be visually and logically connected via wires instead of symbols. And what if gates were 1x1 large? theyre a bit too large, especially when building complex logic and trying to remain compact

Went Around the entire planet not finding it then I restarted my game and still didn't find it. After this I core the entire planet out and still couldn't find it. posted picture of the planet screen and also all of my save data in the saves folder of Nimbatus.

I think the mission where you have to freeze five volcanoes is pretty challenging, since the volcanoes thaw kinda quickly. Any good solutions to this? Thanks :)

In-game, when I go to the workshop to see other people's creations, it displays "unknown" for the authors' names. I didn't notice this until I uploaded one of my drones and started looking around 🍥 Does anyone else have this issue? Or is it just on my end?

What if there was a research which would allow any weapon to change its type live? lol - 500'th post

I've seen quite a few people now asking for multiple connections between parts. Most people who want the struts want them to stabilise their builds, which is pretty obvious, and then there's the people who argue against it, saying that we can already stabilise our drones, which is also very true. Instead of struts, perhaps the drone body could become completely rigid? with no flexibiity at all, rather than many different parts connected by springy rods. Rotors, springs, and decouplers would still create new physics bodies of their own, but every part in a physics body is completely rigid to that physics body. I have a feeling that it would increase drone stability and also reduce processing load for large drones, and also eliminate the jiggly drone bodies that result from unstable construction.

I found Niche through Seri, too! Whom I no longer watch! Anyway, I watched her first ten(?) episodes and I already decided I wanted Niche. When I first bought it on Steam, I was absolutely OBSESSED WITH IT. In fact, two years ago, I think about 1/2 of the art I made was all the creatures I came across in Niche. Here's one of them! (It's also up on Steam) I took this photo with my desktop's camera. The resolution is so bad, but I lost the original image so that's all I got. Deal with it. Every day after school I would play Niche, and I grew more interested in it every day. Even though I didn't watch Seri anymore, I still loved playing Niche. It was my favorite game to play (of course, behind THE DOG Island). I had my own stories, my own lore, and my own customs for every tribe. My favorite was a tribe that reached up to 1,000 days and had over 3,000 food! I called it the "Friendly Island" tribe! 😄 But then, one day in late 2017, I got super bored of Niche. I think this was a few months after the game was officially released? I dunno. But what's important is that I got bored of Niche. In fact, at one point, I was forcing myself to play Niche to rack up hours. Y'know, this tatic actually worked, because now I have over 100 hours! I got even more bored after the wings update. I would just check up on my 1,000 days tribe, move some creatures, maybe end the day, and then exit the game. That was all. Then, this Summer, I stopped playing Niche. I think it's in my top 20 favorite games now Oh, wait... You just wanted first impressions, not my entire Niche story. Damn it. Uh, I liked Niche until I didn't. There we go. Also, OH MY GOD I LOVE GENETS THEY'RE MY FAVORITE ANIMAL AHEUFSDYDGTDFY

Just do it! dont let your dreams become dreams, so just HMMMM DO IT

Pretty interesting, although it would be too easy to cheat by spamming baterries from a factory (batteries & fuel tanks spawn full from factories)

Maybe we have to add a "Nokia 3210" Part. Its feature: Unbreakable.

Thanks! Loving the game so far by the way.

Batteries are acting weird in my setup, they work as intended until you decouple the mini-drone from the factory, then it acts wirelessly to the mini-drone attached to the factory block. (first 30s are to show expected behaviour and also to let the main factory block recharge) I attached the save. -------------------------------------------TESTING--------------------------2.drn

No problem and sorry for not being able to explain it well. Thank you for the awesome work on the game!

The most used strategy so far is either have a really quick ship and zap from volcano to volcano and focus on freezing and ignoring enemies (if you didn't know: you can't ignore the small lava rays. They wont hurt you if you don't attack them ) or you can build a ship which can drop detachable minidrones which have coolers on board which freeze their surrounding. Either make 5 of those or use a Factory Part to create as many as you need Another thing, which is similar to the 2nd method: Create a small detachable drone with spinning freezing weapons and drop those near volcanos If you find another creative solution, let us know I hope this helps.

Here it is. Slot1.nSave

This seems to work fine, would still be much easier with the directional tracker ofc

What if weapons when made would have different visuals depending on what kind of upgrades were added to them? I think there should be little pieces and shapes added depending on upgrade.

Good idea about having the Directional sensor target dowards the closest enemy. Upvote. Actually, there are some people who build self-aiming turrets with logic parts. Maybe that's an interesting challenge if you want

Decoupler charges, anybody? sometimes, explosions really are the best option

It seems that you have turned off your overlap toggle at the top of edit screen.

Rogue males mate with pregnant ladies, the friendly neighbourhood bearyena, teens, males, clams and the seagrass, all resulting in the same untraceable notification. Walruus deer eat your creatures whole and leave only the skin behind. Meat eating plants now have a 7 tile radius and wander the island. Food rots after two days. All nests are replaced by dancing apendages every time it rains. Dodomingoes get the respect they deserve and develop into winged rogue ladies. Rabbils steal the shape of your young and drain their lifeblood, replacing them with an infertile copy. All berries are replaced by extra crunchy eyeballs, giving the "existntial despair" debuff (complete with a spelling error).

would be nice but im not down for it, its not very hard to make big drones that dont fall apart. if you have problems with this then just practice more.

Sounds like a good idea! Maybe it would be a start to make a visual when you mouse over (+shift or ctrl?) a part in the editor so the upgrades are shown.

If a gamer can use logic gates to achieve complex functionality then i think that user can also understand a truth table. If a gamer only manages to create simple logic then they have no need for a truth table. So as i see it there are only 10 people who know how to use it. One either knows logic algebra or not. 😉

A new planet type that lacks both gravity and air resistance with new, more powerful Corp enemies where the goal is to raid one of their shipping containers for illegal goods or resources. Or perhaps destroying/redirecting an asteroid on a collision course with another planet in the system, with smaller asteroids flying around presenting hazards to the drone. In either case the drone can either face them head on, or dodge around. Maybe a new kind of resource out in asteroid feilds too, with relevance to gravity type upgrades, and maybe projectile speed/mass upgrades.

i didnt fought this was a needed thing until i read this.. now i want it very bad

I found Niche through JessiMew. It was just randomly suggested to me on YouTube and I watched the vid. I wasn't even subscribed to Jessi back then. Well I was immediatly in love with the game (and with Jessi). It was a no brainer. I binge watched everything from Jessi I could find on it and then convinced my brother to buy it for me and then I played like probably almost a 100 hours in the first week or so (it felt like a lot of time though Steam didn't record any of it due to poor internet) and ever since then it has become my favourite game together with Skyrim and has currently almost 490 hours in my Steam library ^^ At that point I already understood genetics very well and that is a big point why I loved them game so much. I love all the different gene possibilties

Not so sure of myself anymore. I replayed the level, and found it in GAELEHA. So I may have been mistaken.

I've seen suggestions like this before, and it seems like the problem is mostly an issue of the already-existing programming. Maybe eventually they'll figure out a way to connect two already-placed parts with some strut or something that fuel/energy can't run through.

Actually, I told @Micha today to implement exactly this! But you know what? He said, "who needs this"! Now that we have another vote, he has no chance but to do so, harhar

Like the idea, do you want it movedti feature requests? Also, I like Dogs idea, you can only interact with the other islands, after you have sort of passed the day on every single one. Like you are finished on island 1 and click the day passer, but nothing happens until you have done the same with the two other islands, then you can get the option to choose to send resources back and forth for the new day (probably with a sort of hovering view over all islands to see what you need where) and then the day skips on all islands and you can start anew. It still could be very grindy, having bigger islands might be easier, but if we had automated actions that might solve it as well

i think this is a fun idea. and maybe if you could change the day on one island but not the other but you would have to catch up with the one you didn't change the day on before you could send nichelings or resources or unlocked genes between the islands. i feel like this would definitely be a big feature XD.
