  1. This is a strongly hierarchy orientated challenge that I based of the hierarchy of the spotted hyena. I am not a hyena expert or anything, but I think their packs structure is interesting so I used it as a basis. Challenge Your starters have to be a pair. (With the new sandbox update in near future I would like to add that you yourself can decide if you want to make custom starters, but since this is a challenge, I think random starters are the harder option) First, set the rank of the female to alpha. The male stays a beta. Then, breed them as quickly as possible. I will now explain the hierarchy in detail: Females The females are the dominant gender. All females will be ranked as an alpha, except for the lowest female who is a beta. The lowest ranked female is still higher than the highest ranking male. The firstborn daughter of your starter pair will be the second highest female (after her mother). The next born female will be the third-highest, etc. The dominance can be seen by the colours of the first two gems. The highest ranked female should have this written next to her name. This is just an example of how it could look like: green-green green-orange green-blue green-pink green-yellow orange-green orange-orange orange-blue, etc. The highest ranked female will always be able to give birth. The lower ranked a female is, the less likely she is to give birth to her baby. As an extra rule you could say that only the females with certain first gem colours (as in green-orange) are allowed to give birth. Only the females with green as the first gem colour are allowed to use nesting material, all others can only give birth on permanent nests. When a female baby is born, she automatically inherits her mothers rank. Her last gem colour shows which baby she is. Since you only have one gem, you can also write it next to her name. The males do not count, so if a female has already six sons and then her second daughter, this daughter will still be labeled as number two (or second gem colour orange). After a female dies, her oldest daughter inherits her rank. All younger daughters can not get pregnant until the oldest sister dies and the second in line takes her place. This does not apply for the first generation of females (the kids of your starter pair, since they "found" the different ranks). If a female does not want to wait for her sister to die off, she can become the new lowest ranking female and with some luck, "found" a new group. Inside of the gem groups, the oldest females are allowed to give birth. (You can decide how many of them) Females only get kicked out of the group if they are sick (double immunity sickness, not common cold). If a female who is not allowed to give birth gets a kid or if a low ranked female uses nesting material to give birth you can a) kick the baby out or b)make the baby a slave without any rights (regardless of the gender). Rogue daughters will not inherit their mothers rank and will be forced to become the new lowest female. As for wanderers, you are not allowed to invite female wanderers. Males Every male is ranked as an omega, except for the highest male which is a beta. They have the same colour system as the females (you can change the colours up as you please). However, they do not inherit their fathers position. The males rank system is just about their age. The oldest male is the highest ranking one. The dominant male will only have one goal: To secure that his genes get passed on. This means that he will mate with every available female at any possible time. This will, obviously, result in a lot of inbreeding, sickness and probably also frustration. Since your starter male is the dominant male, he will mate with all of his daughters. Also: A female would never mate with a male that is not the oldest. But you may create forbidden love stories for fun. For wanderers: You can invite male wanderers, but they are automatically the lowest ranked male. The only way for any male to progress in the hierarchy is to wait for the older ones to die off and for new males to arrive / get born. So, this is it. I would be happy to hear a feedback. Edit: Lower ranked females can overthrow a higher ranked female if they have more kids than her (which could happen if the higher ranked female had a lot of sickly kids that were banished). This would only work if none of the females between the two have more babies than the low ranked female. Males: You can set a maximum amount of males that are allowed to stay in the group. If a male wanderer arrives you can still invite him.

  4. Dear Drone Engineers, We just released a patch for the racing update on the preview branch! Thanks for reporting all the bugs so far. Please post your feedback in the discussion forum. Patchnotes 0.6.2 New Features Possibility to slow down time in drone vs. drone modes Added round basic parts Added hollow block part Added no friction and high friction plating for basic parts Added two new race tracks (Pisces Speedway and Sagittarius Drag Strip) Reworks New particle effects for afterburner Added radius setting for TnT, allowing smaller explosions Revamped catch mode to make it more challenging The racing test track is now longer Added a new font for better legibility in running text Added compensation for the lost time between logic ticks, this should allow large logic chains without losing a tick each time a signal passes from one part to another. Racing modes now use continuous collision detection for all drone parts New visuals for the sumo arena Bugfixes Fixed physics joints to make symmetrical drones fly straighter Fixed camera behaviour when following mouse cursor Fixed camera behaviour when camera trackers get destroyed Fixed the zooming behaviour in drone vs. drone modes Fixed sticky bullets when shooting large enemies Improved loading of savefiles after a crash. Fixed a bug where the drone selection screen stopped working Fixed that parts got deleted when pressing backspace and rotated with , and . while entering a setting value Fixed bugs in which destroying certain objects unintentionally counted towards the mission goal Fixed that the inverse rotation mode of vtol thrusters did not work Happy testing! Cheers, Stray Fawn Studio Here is how you can get the preview build on steam: – Open your Steam library– Right click on Nimbatus in the Steam library– Select Properties / Beta– Select the Beta tab– Select the Preview branch from the drop down – Restart Steam in case the game does not update automatically Keep in mind that this preview build is still a work in progress, therefore I strongly recommend to back up your savefiles before downloading the preview branch. Here is where you can find the savefiles and logfiles: https://strayfawnstudio.com/community/index.php?/topic/651-please-read-this-before-posting/

  9. Thanks! Imma give an update: I'm trying to figure out the story so it's on a little bit of a Hiatus right now (also I am developing a new art style) I like how you roleplay as Oakblaze. (though being at war with rabbils means being at war with caramel, not sure if you saw that post, but Caramel's whole mission is to destroy Oakblaze for being at war with rabbils

  11. Just as an additional fun fact for hyenas (they have one of the most complex social system of all mammals). How many offspring you have also helps you secure your rank. Many children = higher rank/ better chance to overthrow the current matriarch. (That could make for some interesting mechanics in the challenge if you want to add it). Of course usually lower ranking females wouldn't get the best food shares and wouldn't be able to give birth to many children. Also, also males usually leave the pack they were born into and they usually don't overthrow the highest ranking male. We had a hyena challenge on steam where you had to have all your males leave and depending on your luck if they found a female wanderer you could have a lot of different packs on a big island which was fun

  12. Purrdolf has finally awoken. He is not very cooperative and wont speak very much.. but that is understandable, considering everything he has gone through. Please, oh please do not try and attempt to harm Purrdolf under my close watch. There will be consequences, do not take my words lightly. - Dragon Tear

  14. Ah, yes, his army... something I need to bring into consideration. Though, I do think because of his defeat... their opinions may have changed. And yes, I understand his body is equal to the tart toxic berries. I know how to... not get poisoned, per say. Living in the jungle my whole life has paid off, wouldn't you say? I... can't bring myself to kill a fellow Nicheling. - Dragon Tear

  19. I like your profile picture when I was typing, it put my last message in the reply box. It said I like your profile picture (it was to pebble heart) so I deleted the quote I quoted from pebbleheart and just had I like your profile picture. the thing is, when I clicked on the box to start typing, I was thinking: I really like Heyitsgeorgie’s profile picture, that’ll be my compliment to her.

  20. WOO000AH if that isn’t a lie then you probably suffered a concussion (I think your head gets hazy when you look at screens if you have one so just be wary! I don’t want you to have brain damage.) but speaking of concussions, 2 people in my class have concussions right now. one was at a basketball game (reasonable) but one was because she got hit with a foam ball and fell over. Like whaat? Girl, I got hit in the face 4 times in ONE GAME but didn’t even lose balance. (Maybe a new inside joke for all of us: the week of the 17th is concussion week, be careful you don’t hit your head!)

  30. W0AH 3rd game?! I'll try to convince my mom to at least allow me to make a 10$ donation to the kickstarter if there is one! Now I am more curious about It instead... hmmm... when will you release the name and a little bit more about it?

  31. @Basil - Yeah, that transition is rough on a lot of people. Just don't get mono. It makes everything five hundred times worse. I've actually been recovering from a weekend on the night shift and from being sick the week before. Good luck with exams! I like Tiny Green, too -- but then, it and the Story Mode beginner islands are the only ones I've played so far. :p

  32. and I put both because the funny thing about them is their Hitler pattern. Though I do prefer Ronu as his eyes pierce your soul, so if I just need one choose him! As for females Not sure if we can use nichelings from the Nicheling Explorer but she has quite the story: She appeared in bostonlobstah's pinkalious playthrough -- and looks quite like her. After a while Aetherskye was playing around in the Nicheling Explorer and put Philomena in there ... It's her... if I can't use her because of her Nicheling Explorerness I will use Derpsnout Boston (Philomena has priority though) It's Bostonlobstah but a derpsnout!

  33. Whithersight. I'm not sure what I expected, but it wasn't a baby with an underwear pattern. Too majestic to unsee... Vankir (/Jaspar) just looks permanently angry with his lot in life. He is the first reincarnated to have webbed hind legs and he can feel it.

  35. I'll submit Silare, if it's not too late. I'm not supposed to look at her genes since she's in my whims tribe, but it's been a few generations since she was alive and I took this without looking because I loaf her eyebrows.

  36. We also always have to try our best to remain sustainable. Our studio now has to be able to sustain 10 people. (Though many of us work part time, so it would be about 5-6 full time employees). In Switzerland (were we work and live), that means costs of about $30'000 every month. The big money from games usually comes in when you launch (Early Access launch und full launch). In a "normal" month, where no big launches or sales are happening, we depend on the money we made earlier. So, we constantly have to work towards another launch in order to remain sustainable and be able to make games we (and you!) love for many more years hopefully ❤️

  37. I know what convergent evolution is. You were giving me the impression that you thought beaks were a feature unique to birds, my bad. And yes, this is an avian beak, but that doesn't mean something similar couldn't evolve in some other group of animals. The platypus has a bill similar to ducks, hence the name duck-billed platypus, and cephalopods have beaks very similar to parrots. And it's not like niche particularly cares if a gene seems out of place on nichelings, I mean not only have we got the beaks we've also got things like the scorpion tail and antennae I still think that having 50 nichelings with wings as well as 50 with the cracker jaw is a bit much. As I said before, if you think a beak would look silly on a nicheling without wings then you don't have to give them a beak. Making it more difficult to unlock based on this opinion seems unfair when it's not really going to make much of a difference to your gameplay if you do unlock it
