actually, my friend and are going to buy some ghillie suits and scaring people.

people ask me what I am going to be for Halloween. I tell them I am going to be a kleptomaniac, I will steal everyone's candy and then sell it to a dentist.

This idea may sound familiar (like the bio waste collection mission), but what I'm thinking is a planet covered in bio waste. Contact with the crust will inflict damage and corrosion which will cause slow damage on any part that is corroded. There will be no events on this planet (aka nests, or snake eggs) instead, you must kill a certain number of mutants, which will jump up to your ship to attack it. Furthermore, the mutant will also inflict corrosion, making it harder to kill them. Mutants are weak to cryogenic attacks and though they cannot be frozen, they will take double the damage that a kinetic attack would deal. Leave any ideas or suggestions! PS: maybe corrosion could be a weapon effect?

Moin moin, i am just some random gamer dude from germany calling himself R3zn4K online. Found a gif about Nimbatus around November 2017 and liked the idea. Bought the game after i find out it was available on Steam. Hobbys: I guess i could say watching anime, driving my motorbike, playing videogames... obviously. Oh and sorry for bad English.

I hope you're referring to the shark. I mean, just look how far apart its eyes are! It looks so dorky! Perhaps they couldn't see the missile 🤔

Dodomingoes are flightless birds that occupy nests in niche. Even if the one before them was killed and eaten. On the adjacent tile. And screamed in horror. I don't think they're meant to be smart.

Hi! I'm new here! I came here to help suggest ideas for the game niche but I'm since fairly new to this so I just wanted to meet some people! I don't like my actual name so you can just call me Moo I'm a geek who likes eating, gaming, playing volleyball and sleeping, I also like reading from time to time, hanging out with my friends and swimming when I can!

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.

It's treason then

Make them very energy expensive, or a costly upgrade to specifically shotguns (that maybe consumes 2 slots instead of one?) but god do I miss them. They were *very* effective

Some time ago I saw someone share their save for others to continue, and ever since I've wanted to do the same. So, I give you this file. Lura.nichesave This tribe is called Lura, as you could probably tell. I've started you out with 2 breeding pairs (shown by gem colors), 303 food and 46 nest materials, so you don't die within the first few days (You also might notice the recessive purr snout on all of them, it's from the starter male who had purr snout dominant and recessive--). The goal is to get every non-regrowable grass on the island cleared (maybe except the ones on the tiny islands). Important note: The save is Slot1 in the files, so make sure to backup the save you had there (unless you didn't have one there, of course).

A new logic device that ignores logic cut-offs for its input key only - this would be a solution for having independent drones that can all react to the same trigger (like pressing a button to return all drones to the mothership). For example, if you set it with input "W" and attach it to a drone that's otherwise behind a cutoff, this would 'mirror' the global W input into the local logic network, and the output will still be local - so when you press W, every individual drone receives the input and can handle it independently without affecting anything on the global network. Ideally we'd also have a "Global Mirror" that works in reverse, taking a local input and outputting a global one It'd basically be a way to send and receive specific variables between your logic networks, letting them interface, instead of the current chips which only allow you to be either on or off a given network and can never communicate between them I can only think of a few uses for this, but part of the way this game works out is to provide the tools and see what the users can do with them, so may as well open up a whole new bag of logic networking and see if anyone can come up with anything

Pressurised thrusters - if all of the fuel storages are 100% - 95% the thruster gets ~25% bonus power. If there is less than 95% fuel left, power drops to 100% - ~25% when on the brink of running out of fuel. For more clearity i attached some numbers. More fuel - more power Hybrid thrusters - they are very fuel efficient, but uses energy. Fuel to energy alternative Ion thrusters - 2x2 sized thrusters that have the same amount of thrust, but uses energy instead of fuel. Large energy thrusters Overclocked thrusters - have 30 % more power, but use 50% more fuel and act as heaters: one thruster begins to melt in 8 seconds of continuous firing. Unreliable, but powerful thrusters Clockwork thrusters - Works in bursts ( they work for random periods between 0.1 and 0.6 seconds and then even if the key is pressed they turn off ). If being used while not off they quickly generate heat. But if timed perfectly they have 20 % more power. Consumes same amount of fuel. Better timing - more power Tweaked thrusters - produce 20 % less thrust and take up 1x3 space, but consumes 50 % less fuel. Highly efficient Eco thrusters - Consumes no fuel, and consumes only 10 % of energy equivalent, produces 15% of normal thrust. Almost free but weak Turbines - thrusters that use energy instead of fuel, and loose power if they go above a certain altitude ( too rare atmosphere ), and can be more powerful when in dense atmosphere, or less powerful when in less dense atmosphere. Power depends of atmosphere density and altitude Independant thruster - a small thruster with a small fuel tank attached to it. Behaves just like one and the other, only that it has fuel storage, which is by default full, and the efficiency is between small and normal thruster. A bit weaker thruster with fuel storage. sorry, no drawing... And for no other reason than, becouse i could, i have drawn some examples of almost usable quality.

Violent explosions are cooler than fire.

or just add a round variant, sometimes the square sensor fits better with geomatric drones

Really awesome idea, the thrusters section could really use some variety! Plus awesome artwork, great job!😊

I've gone into detail elsewhere, but in short I would want a 0-360 arc, diminishing max range as the arc increases until it's basically a collision sensor. I would like it to sense in two parts; like an altimeter can sense and act on low altitude or high altitude, I would like them to be able to sense and act upon long or short range contact, with the option for a tolerance in between. (That might be too much, though, and two sensors can kind of sort of pretend to do this well; it would require three and too much logic to perfectly mimic those capabilities. Isn't the distance sensor what we're talking about? I may be confused.

Parts that modify air resistance or friction would also be cool.

Okay. Why not.

Here's also hoping for second chance, if its ok >.<

Second chance for me?

Two outputs; positive movement, negative movement Tolerance slider (controls "dead zone" in middle) Function: Sort of like a speed sensor, but only for the part of the block's movement along its long axis. The black dot sits in the middle when the block is at rest. When the block is moving, the dot moves to the side opposite of (or matching, maybe makes more sense) the movement vector (of the block itself) along the long axis of it. It should not use the drone's total vector; This is important for being able to detect angular momentum with this block as well, by placing it perpendicular to the center of mass. At zero tolerance it should detect even the slightest movement. Not sure what total negative/positive speed range it should have but it doesn't matter too much since it's not really for detecting speed as much as figuring out your vector. Uses: This block would have many applications! - hovering/anti-gravity setups - detecting spin caused by external forces (e.g. in sumo) - direction agnostic stabilization Note: this is not an acceleration sensor, but it's similar; It's based on current velocity instead of ∆v

I've also submitted this in the past, and would benefit from this. This seems like a good time to reiterate the other updates I'd like in distance sensors - an angle sweep, and the ability to separate it into segments like an altimeter. One slider to determine if the split is from 0-100%, one tolerance, and an output for when each segment is triggered. One sensor could be used for "Enemy spotted, outside optimum range," "Enemy in optimum range," and "Enemy too close, back the hell up."

A drone I used utilized a dynamic thruster to match gravity until speed was zero. Leave it alone for a few seconds at the start, then hit a key to lock in the thrust setting and you were good for that level. It was a two-part setup that did pretty much exactly this.

I especially like the first option, even though I just want ability to go higher than the current altimeter seems to allow. (90% or so is still too close to the surface for my taste). 100% at Nimbatus height (or little above it) would most likely be sufficient for most uses. I would like to add something extra to this idea: Add an ability to alter the values of the altimeter during game. Ie: If I have altimeter set to 80% altitude, I could send the altimeter directive to increase it by 1% or another to decrease it by 1%. (Similar functionality could be useful for directional sensor (to alter the angle) but I don't really have any useful examples for that at the moment.)

this could be solved with an invert option on every input. (basically a free optional NOT gate on each input). This also solves tick timing issues because adding a not gate adds 1 tick of delay when you could have zero delay if it was built into the gate.

In many places it would be much more useful, and make much more sense, if having a tag and a key for an input meant they were both needed rather than either or. It could be very useful for having remote systems only activate under certain conditions. It is very unintuitive the way it is now. The common way of using it just as extra logical keys would still be fine and valid.

What I'd like is for a selected logic part to have lines to every part its inputs or outputs are used by. Color those lines if they lead to something on the other side of a factory or decoupler, to indicate that they may not ALWAYS be connected. In addition, a fainter line indicating the inputs and outputs THOSE parts are connected to. So you see bright direct connections, and a hint of the larger web of interactions.

Ooooooooooooooooooooh. I thought you meant something Reassembly style, where everything that generates forward thrust is fired when you hit forward, so the same thrusters are often used for multiple vectors. I see what you're getting at. CoM isn't a great way to do it, if that's how it's currently done. I admit I ignored it for the most part, and just accepted that it would always be wrong and need to be changed.

Yep, it works fine with a splitter between the factory and the drone. Newbie mistake. Thanks for the game btw - it is a game that makes me enjoy logic again, allows me to be creative and includes problem solving. And if you want to, you can even have serious pew pew power on the ships, or have Exterminatus happen. Lots of stuff to do. Keep up the good work! Edit; Btw, I didn't actually test it, but I did similar builds with other drones and they worked fine.

I believe you have now met me

I've managed to blow my expectations high enough that I can't have fun with any video game until I play this one. It'd be great to win, but I won't begrudge anyone else a win either.

Moved it to the Niche section

I looked up lobster costumes before for inspiration and all I saw were babies sitting in pots Not exactly what I had in mind...lol

Not really. A factory making a single big fuel cell (The big-storage one, without recharge) that outputs when it's empty. That output triggers a detach, a logic part that delays one second, then rebuilds the tank. Huh. It would only ever have to rebuild the one part.

Here ya go: Yes, I chose the silliest thing. Did you expect anything more from me?

Star: I should use call for no reason! I'm probably gonna get a good laugh at all the crippled girls that'll appear, though- *Anasi appears* Star: How did I...?

Yeah. It's often a really big affair for some people and many don't care at all (except for the Krapfen...) on Fasching. In the city they march through the streets in way bigger numbers. Customs may vary a lot, but that one is a "holiday" you could miss. What you can not miss, however, is the freakish custom of setting a strawman on fire and throwing him in the local river, after parading him around the whole damn town.

Yes my children. YOU MUST DOMINATE!!!

The dumbest thing I have ever done is bring albinos to a jungle. i have never been so mad that my precious albino children died

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"...)

Well, it really is a feature, this famous quote is actually certainly serious this time.

I was an Education major. I have an Associates in Early Childhood Care and Education. I love kids, they are easy to understand. Regular people are hard. Hoping to go back for my Bachelors someday, but current financial status is "Do I want gas in my car or groceries in my fridge?".

I'm not technically a new member, but since everyone seems to be introducing themselves, I might as well follow suit. My name's Draconiya, but you can call me Draco or Drac, whichever you prefer. I'm a female in my late teens from Germany, and my interests include art, storytelling, writing and roleplaying, as well as animals, nature, languages, acting and genetics. I've wanted to either become an actor or an author since I was little, and through some miracle of optimism and recalibration of goals those professions are what I still aim for today. I own a very fluffy adorable longhair half-persian kitty whose name is actually Nova, but we always call her by a plethora of nicknames she seems to recognize and respond to with her squeaky meowing. Seriously, she sounds like a door whose hinges need oiling, but it's adorable. She's a Longhair Tortoiseshell Silver Classic Tabby and White with hazel eyes, and the cutest being I've seen on this planet. Weird to think she'll still only be three years old this month, it feels like she's been with me forever. I also used to have a dwarf rabbit named Felix with beady red eyes and a Siamese Point-like pattern, though he sadly passed away a couple years ago. I'm quite fascinated with the intricate art of creating and analyzing characters, and am always looking for ways to improve my own, though I don't really see the sense in sharing your brainchildren with complete strangers on the internet, so you probably won't even notice this. I stumbled upon Niche when it was in it's veeeeeeery early stages, with the wooden graphics and four genes in total, and forgot about it for a while after playing even though I really liked the concept, until I found it again through either JessiMew or Seri!Pixel!Biologist!, can't remember which. From that point on, I watched many of their Niche series, until I decided getting the game was worth it, and I've been playing ever since. I used to play MMOs, but have taken a liking to isometric RPGs in the last year or so. Once my new computer arrives, I'll hopefully be able to play them again without crashing every time D: Even Niche is getting stuttery, hopefully my tribe will be full bird-mode before it starts crashing as well. Unlike seemingly everyone in this thread (lol), I have never watched an anime or read a manga, though I find the art style quite beautiful. I love drawing and sketching in general, especially dragons or Nichelings, though dragon-like beings are definitely my speciality. Humans are freaking difficult though, the best I've managed so far is a half-decent satyr with a misleading facial expression. Digital art is somewhat of a mystery to me, too, I prefer the good ol' pencil-and-paper approach. I'm somewhat awkward when interacting with others, so if my writing sounds stilted or something that's probably because I read over everything several times before posting, in part because I'm not a native speaker and still not fully accustomed to writing entirely in a foreign language, but I also hate making stupid sloppy spelling or grammar mistakes that could've been easily averted. I'm also rather honest and blunt by nature, so if something I say upsets you, please take it with a grain of salt, I most likely didn't mean it like it seems I did. That's about it. Nice to see so many people here, though, the last time I checked, this thread was completely empty

Of course I have to put in my Ouroboros in here, It's my favorite drone i have made. So why wouldn't I put it in here? Then there's also this thing

I've made a jellyfish that kinda behaves like a jellyfish when it flies or hits a wall. And a video here that shows a little more: https://gfycat.com/gifs/detail/NimbleUnfoldedGyrfalcon (the video feels good when played at 2× speed on gfycat) Of course it's not very efficient to clear planets (although it is not useless either). Building the logic parts was a nightmare, it doesn't seem like much, but I think all the keys of my keyboard are bound except Tab, there were so many exceptions I had to deal with to make the tentacles spread and behave correctly.
