Yes please!! I tried story mode once but I rushed it too much, and was not satisfied at all.

OMG IT WORKS-

IM IN THE SAVE YOu SEnT

screAMS-

Yay!!! That kind of stuff is super important if you want to back up a savefile. For example if you want to use the console, which can have some huge bugs that can crash the game, you go back to that hidden folder and copy the save you are going to experiment on. Then you put the copy in a safe place so if you get stuck at night for example (one of the major console bugs) you can delete the save and put the backup back into its slot!

It came in very handy for my sister. She was playing a save and accidentally took only one nicheling on a port to a new island. Thanks to a backup, (and me for finding the folder! lol) she did not lose much progress at all. 

[How to find logfiles and savefiles on your computer]

Great!   AppData is the hardest to find. After that it's easy.

I was having difficulty too, I think what helped me was I checked the hidden folders box and the AppData folder appeared (it was kind of transparent because it's a 'hidden folder.')

I thought it had just appeared out of nowhere!

When I found it I was so excited, it was like I discovered the cure for cancer! 

[How to find logfiles and savefiles on your computer]

For me, the folder was AppData, not %appdata%.  It's inside the username folder. 

Windows C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\LocalLow\Team Niche\Niche - a genetics survival game\Saves

[How to find logfiles and savefiles on your computer]

See if you can find something along the top of the window that says 'view'. Click it and check the box that says show hidden folders. 

That's how it works on my Windows 10, not sure about other computers

[Piebaldism in Niche?]

I love that idea!

also the dog in the first pic is a vitiligo, not piebald

You might be following the wrong path still, try the path I posted above. Ignore my previous comment.

I think you are going down the wrong path.  The Mac path for SAVEfiles is this:

~/Library/Application Support/unity.Team Niche.Niche - a genetics survival game/Saves

you may have been following the LOGfiles path.

I suggest making separate suggestions for

A couple ladybugs  (look at all my birbs!) from my Farsea Feathers Tribe (tribe name inspired by Seri's videos)

oof - Ladybug is having a rough day :,( 

Petei is the only ladybug on this island in the archipelago--I'm going to help him find a mate soon.

Some of my Larkspur Warriors! Aren't they pretty? The pretty color combos make up for the cracker jaws imo. (the gray and tan mask combo is really popular in my tribe for some reason...probably from the healthy incest) The mother in the nest is the original Larkspur. She isn't the founder, but one of the founders' children and first official clan leader. Her child grew up to be Larkstar, the next in line.

Twins! Firepaw and Icepaw!

the result of forgetting to put normal eyesight into the starters' mutation menus -- oops! She still happens to be one of my faves! ❤️❤️ 

Here's Dapper - I tend to name derp-snouts with C pattern 'eyebrows' "Dapper" since they all look narcissistic and think they are simply the best!

One of the reasons that this tribe is so similar in looks is that there is VERY little wanderer blood in these guys. In the very beginning, I was worried about the starters' kids not being able to find mates, but then I realized that two siblings had opposing immunity genes! And then, INCEST FEST!!!! With all healthy children! And everyone looked the same. The only other main wanderer to contribute to the line was Dapper, because he was mostly healthy. And just look at him! Who wouldn't want him as part of their breeding program! So all of my current tan/pink/white colored nichelings are likely related to him. 

I found another derpy scorpion female, who has had two recessive scorpion kids so far. And I have a few bearyena hybrids too, who i will breed back to bearyenas or to each other to unlock genes. I won't use their 3/4 bearyena kids for breeding though.

Ok here goes 😛

The Clam Bloodline

The founders and main contributors to the Clam Line:

Clam, original platypus nicheling and foundation female

Clam II and Snow. Practically Identical daughter and Grandson of Clam. Snow was one of the main studs for my line

The Melon Line. The red and white pregnant one, Seed, is the main heiress of the Melon line. 

The founder. I intentionally bred in short snout because my entire tribe was cracker jaw and derp snout...now do you blame me???

Melon's daughter who carried on the main line.

watermelon's daughter who carried on the line to the new island. 

Strawberry's last minute sickly son, born soon before her death

Sickly son of Cantaloupe, and twin brother to the orange and grey female in the group shot.

WHOA!! I only have around 60 hours in total--my longest game has been around 25 hours. 

Also, what Island is that!! Did you clear all the grass?

[Challanges?]

Have you tried the wings/bird challenge?

I am successful so far, it was not hard at all (except in the very beginning.) If you start on whale island, the challenge will be very easy and quick.

Tips: when you have double wings, the beak, cracker jaw, ram horns, bearyena hind legs, and scorpion tail are very useful. 

I invented another challenge but haven't tried it yet. The Honeybee Challenge! I might test it out before declaring it possible to the public, lol

[Custom (ish) Savefiles for you!]

Here's how I got there. I have a Windows 10 (i think)

I open up a random folder on the desktop. Then I look along the sidebar and click "This PC."

There should be a Windows (C:) icon that you click. Then you keep clicking folders, following the order above.

One other thing that may be important is, if you look along the top of the finder view, click "View" and check the box that says "Hidden Folders." 

(Sorry for the late reply. It's my sister's birthday!)

[Custom (ish) Savefiles for you!]

Sure! Maybe this will help. 

If you are still having trouble I might be able to help, no guarantees though

If you find the savefile folder, simply paste the new file into an empty slot. BUT it has to be the same slot. You cannot put my Slot4 savefile before Slot3 or it won't work. If Your Slot 4 is already taken, copy the savefile and move it to a different folder to save it. Then delete the original and insert the new file.

Oh and, how do you open save files? I have been trying and it doesn't work.

I think you copy it into a save slot. Do you know how to find the hidden niche savefile folder?

Here's an oasis save:

I'll see what I can find

Sorry I still haven’t been able to get pics yet—I will soon—but the “melon line” and “clam line” are both from my first tribe, the Breaking Dawn Tribe, which has sort of become more of a tribe for gene experimentation and developing my own nicheling varieties. I have cheated food with the console and intend to do it again if food supply gets a bit too low. 

The other lines from other tribes were not as strictly bred as my melon and clam lines. Some are not strict at all but the same genes keep popping up each generation without my help. And some are not as distinct. For example, my Pastelle, Shocker, Oreo, and Ladybug lines are all in the same tribe, and of the three the Ladybug Line is by far the most distinct. The other lines often mix but the Ladybugs consistently look the same. It’s kind of driving me nuts. When the first Ladybug was born, I was like, cute! Your name is Ladybug. Ladybug has some kids. You are named Ladybug II. You are Miraculuous Ladybug. You are Ladybird. And you....Ladybug the Third...okay I’m kind of getting tired of all the Ladybugs..

My Larkspur Clan is interesting and even though I didn’t interfere at all they are the prettiest things ever :0 Some of my favorites aesthetically.

If you have a specific or unique bloodline or 'breed' that you either selected for or just kept track of, post them here, and tell us what they all have in common and who the founder of the line is! Also tell me what, if any, your 'breeding goals' are

I shall post some here soon...

Including my Clam Bloodline (Working towards distinct bloodline. all have platypus beak, bearyena snout, or big nose. Breeding towards platypus beak with big body in grey and yellow varieties.)

my Melon Bloodline (Working towards distinct bloodline. all have short snout, bearyena snout or big nose. Breeding for short snout, blue eyes, double nimble fingers and red or orange fur)

my Larkspur/Warrior Bloodline (all big nose or cracker jaw, and have red or red/brown horns, and pretty fur in shades of chestnut brown, red brown, grey, sandy, pink, and white. All have either Raccoon Mask pattern or spots.)

my Pastelle Bloodline (all have beaks, wings, and ram horns, and come in shades of brown and pink. Solid, spots, sometimes tuxedo mask.)

my Shocker Bloodline (neon colored winged birbs with beak or cracker jaw. Solid, or white or grey spots or masks.)

my Ladybug Bloodline (red with black spots, double wings, green eyes, bird beak or cracker jaw)

and my Fancy Oreo Peacock bloodline (double wing, beak, peacock tail, dark spots and pink or white colored body)

[Just some cool gene/trait suggestions]

Oooohhh I like rattlesnake tail!

[Photos of your nicheling clones?]

I have found a couple more  (actually a lot more!)

My first little platypus, Clam and her last child, obviously named Clam the Second. The story is, Clam was once a happy little nicheling, daughter of a big bodied, big nosed, moss brown/white nicheling named Angelica, and a handsome orange wanderer called Vankir, and they lived in a swampy area of Grass Adventure. Clam grew up and became mates with her childhood friend, Diggy, a gray cracker jaw. Clam built a nest on the shore and soon they had a little white purr snouted son named Snow. While Clam was out trying to find food, Snow wandered out of the nest and became lost. When Clam returned, Snow was nowhere to be found. Clam searched and searched, but in her heart she knew what had happened, and was devastated. When Diggy came home, we was devastated too. But he was also very angry towards Clam, and he blamed her for Snow's death. So they broke up and went separate ways. Clam was heartbroken, but still wanted another opportunity at a happy life. Soon she found another male named Claw, a bearyena-headed gray nicheling. He was an older nicheling, but still alone. Clam was the perfect match for him. (At this point, my tribe was getting ready to leave to a new island. And I sooooo badly wanted to take Clam with me. I hoped that with Claw, Clam would have a platypus child to make the journey, as Clam was getting older.) Soon Clam had a beautiful, almost identical looking daughter, aptly named Clam II. As she grew up, she knew she wanted to go on this journey. Her mother was sad to see her go, but knew that that was what Clam II wanted. And so Clam bittersweetly said goodbye, and learned to let go a final time. 

Clam II met another tan-colored bearyena snout called Kunu who was also coming along on the journey. They had many children, though only four had platypus beak. Three of those went on to raise many children. (One of them only has a couple so far. But his wife is by far the best match for him. Both of them have double digging paws  ) They have gone on to form a huge line of platypus nichelings who live on their own small little sandy island off the mainland where they breed with each other and dig up worms all day.  They are one of my favorite lines! ❤️

A picture of Clam, baby Snow, proud grandma Angelica, and Diggy watching from the tree stump (before Snow was carried off ;-;) because why not!

Here are some more identical Clams (I am making this save more of a playing-with-genetics-and-creating-a-specific-breed kind of save rather than a survival challenge, so there are a lot of nearly identical Clams due to selective breeding!)

Perl and Shell are sisters, both daughters of Clam II. All of their physical genes are exactly the same, and their genotype is also ALMOST exactly the same!

Ripple and Ruffle are sisters, both daughters of Perl. Their only phenotypical difference is that Ruffle has a peacock tail

and here's Stream, Ruffle's daughter. (I honestly could swear I had more nichelings who were older that looked like this...I guess not. My tribe is younger than I think, lol)

And here is the Platypus Family fairly recently: (the bottommost white one is Snow, the first son of Clam II. He was named after the Original Clam's son. He was the sire of almost all of the platypus beaks in the photo! Our main stud, lol. Unfortunately he very recently just passed away. )

In the picture are all four of Clam II's platypus children, and their children, and their children! The big eared dark yellow female is named Clam III.  

(Also........................................pay no attention to the huge amount of tribe members and barely enough food. This was my first tribe EVER so I'm allowed to use the console, right? :,) I already had to cheat myself into more food before on this tribe so I can do it again!!!!)

sorry for all the pictures but I think it kinda makes up for my lack of good clones in my last post! lol!

[What if Niche kept its old graphics?]

I didn't play with the old graphics (I'm too much of a noob lol)

but I have to say, I REALLY like the colorful tiles, it's very appealing to me. 

Spit snouts...not so much 😛
