I might do a bit of my own testing in a minute.
nothing beats wasting time on Niche instead of studying for your midterms lol

Update: I tried playing the Community challenge on Summer Mountains yesterday and survived 60 days. It rained some, and it was cold sometimes, but it never snowed once. Reminds me of the weather where I live right now XD
No console was used this time, obviously. 🤔
I’m going to hold off my tribe that’s preparing for First Snow for now, in case there is no first snow at all!

Thanks for running the tests. So what do you think the best strategy is for surviving an ape? Go into the water and sacrifice a boring nicheling or two? Run to the nearest Whale Island port?
-
So here's my planned strategy:
Everyone gets nimble fingers, runner legs, claws or velvet paws (claw and especially velvet paws are running rampant in the tribe right now)
It's the start of a Rainbow/Easter Egg challenge, so I'm hoping to get creatures in yellow and red and white lean body and water body (for ape escape), but mostly toxic body. Colorful spots and stripes. Will use fin, swimming, and stinky tails...
I have a lot of purr snouts and cracker jaws...and poison fangs even tho I just realized there are no poison berry bushes and apes are immune to poison rip. Hoping to get in more Big Nose.
There's a little 'island' that's completely surrounded by rivers... there are only two jungle trees, neither have roots but I can't shake them...?
I will probably have a nicheling or two as ape bait to save my rainbows too, eventually...
Do you think this could work in the rainforest? Will crossing the river or going into the ocean be a good strategy to avoid the apes?

Thank you! Also if you cross a river, will the ape cross too?
I hope the water is as OP as I thought

great work! I'm on Rainforest for the first time just for the heck of it...doing much better than I thought. Actually enjoying myself quite a bit. It's not that hard an island. I'm just afraid an ape is gonna pop out of nowhere and kill them all lol

I played on Summer Mountains...survived for 60 days ;-;
I will post my playthrough later
it's pretty pathetic

I think people have said that the ones with nuts spawn apes. I don't really know..
Thanks anyway. I went next to both tree types that I saw and didn't see a 'shake' action. I guess I'm okay?
There is a section of the island that is between two rivers so is isolated. It has different kinds of trees from the rest of the island, with no root thingys so I was wondering if I would be 100% safe if I lived there lol

So um I am in the jungle for real for the first time
It's rainforest yay
doing ok so far. no apes.
But wondering--there are different kinds of jungle trees--ones with big one-tile roots, trees with two-tile roots, ones with no roots, and short fat ones. Which ones spawn apes? Or do all of them spawn apes? Or each spawns a different kind of ape?
Also Can apes cross rivers?

is this the Pinkalicious play through?
yes

The tribe is heading across the archipelago.
Along the way, they bump into the most beautiful not-pink nicheling they have ever seen.
Her name is Dragon Tear II (since her pattern is off OOF) and she knows the archipelago well. Bostonlobstah asks her if she could help to guide them to the next island. Dragon Tear II says yes, so she leads them to the last island in the archipelago chain.
Meanwhile, the Forgotten Ones who were left behind on the first island have grown old without Bostonlobstah's magic. Pippin is the first fatality after 74 days.
After saying goodbye to everyone being left behind, 10 nichelings move on to their first Medium-level island: Adam 2.0, Bostonlobstah, Stacey, Sense, Sensibility, Snowchild, Avrie, Adeline, Poozie and Frosty.
The tribe finds themselves in a strange new land--with a huge and odd--looking port on the side.

I tried the Whims challenge before, and since I actually didn’t know
or careabout the rules I failed. I mean, I didn’t look at their genes, but I didn’t do anything like control the population count using a number generator or stuff like that. Oops
I kept accidentally checking the genes. I put that save file away and will pull it out again when the sandbox update comes

Snow islands are pretty easy, I’ll say that. Long Winter can be a pain in the neck though if the game bugs out on ya or something else happens. (I.e. nothing spawns, no permanent nests, etc.)
Yes long winter bugs MUST be fixed ^^
People are saying it's harder than Frost Lands!

HOW DARE YOU INSULT MAH CAT BABIES
Why do my bears keep giving birth to cats?!
My everything keeps giving birth to bears
I swear there's one save I got so sick of because everyone kept having bearyena snouted kids popping out of the recessive genes
not my fave gene.

1: Peaceful Meadow (the reason i put this higher than tiny green is because it's literally tiny green but bigger, so there's more food)
2: Tiny Green
3: Crossing
4: Archipelago
5: Grass Adventure
6: Grass Mingle
7: Whale Island
8: Summer Mountains
9: First Snow
10: Home Island
11: Jungle Gate
12: Swampy Hill (unless the tribe have poison resistance)
13: Oasis
14: Deadly Hills
15: Rainforest
16: Sleepy Reeds (same as Swampy Hill, much easier with poison resistance)
17: Burning Savanna
18: Frost Lands
19: Long Winter
20: Deep Jungle
21: O V E R G R O W N J U N G L E
Interesting. I totally forgot about Crossing. And I agree with you about peaceful meadow and tiny green now that I think about it. May I ask why you put Long Winter above Frost Lands (the rabbil glitch I assume?), Summer Mountains above First Snow, and Overgrown jungle over deep jungle? And why Home Island is harder than I assumed? Is it Adam's hostile family?

I would like yalls opinions on which islands are easiest/hardest...
1. When you start out on that island in sandbox mode
2. When you are prepared to come to that island
for example if I were to rank some islands...
1. Tiny Green
2. Peaceful Meadow
3. Archipelago (except for the deep water)
4. Grass Adventure
5. Grass Mingle
6. Whale Island
etc
Ok your turn! Rank the islands as best you can based on your experiences.

Ok edit: went left to the savannah and there is a northern port going back to Oasis! And a right port to a jungle which I think I will take...
in your experiences, which island will have a higher chance of a whale island port, or is it completely random?

Honestly love the whale island-- it allows for experimentation with genes due to the endless food it provides (if you don't want to use console) and you can have so many creatures! Plus I just love the layout of the island. It's also very pretty!
I love Whale Island too...First time I went I nearly starved but got back on track. The other times I went, I have been very lucky and successful. I love the abundance of bearyenas that provide some challenge. Not so much the rogues...
my favorite islands are Grass Mingle and grass adventure, oasis, and whale island. I probably would like the snow islands too (I’m about to go there prepared for the first time!) I like archipelago as well, I just wish the islands were more varied each time instead of the exact same shape.

Were they always that shade of brown? I don't spend much time there, but they just seem different. The peacock tailed guy also had recessive violett eyes.
All of the males were chestnut brown/chestnut brown, yes. Females were usually chestnut brown/red, or chestnut brown/black. The first one we found was chestnut brown/yellow. (My favorite!) also wierd, I don’t think I noticed any pure chestnut brown females ...
Edit: Found one!
idk if these rules are followed as strictly if they appeared with the IncreaseSpawn PlayerAnimal console command. I messed with that command early on in the save but idk if the command works on the other islands???

In story mode I have gone to First Snow, Summer Mountains and Long Winter...I had been to each of them for 10-15 days more or less with no signs of snow...The antenna’d Nichelings would say “snow in x days” and the next day it would say “sunny in Y days” but the snow never came.
I used the console on that save but only messed with genes and ages. And On one of the very first islands I explored all fields, but I never messed with the weather...?
last I checked, there was snow in sandbox mode.
The Jungle Trees??
