@cinnacat I get what you mean with that but still, people will see one and probably ignore the other because they already have voted for this, havent they?

I personally think it is better to put an alternative suggestion for the basically same thing in the comments of that thread where it also can be upvoted inside that threat and people can discuss the pros and cons of the variants better

that does sound good, i just made a large post of all the genes i had in mind instead of commenting the seperate ones on the other threads. ill probably do that next time

Feature Requests

 

Well, technically it is "okay" noone will remove your post or anything, but there is this little text for the feature request section:

 

Post, upvote and comment ideas for Niche improvements and new features here. 

---

- Please make a separate post for each suggestion. If you have ideas for two new predators, each predator gets its own post.
- Upvote and comment your favorite ideas. This will increase their change of being implemented in the game.
- Choose a clear, descriptive title, such as "New ears for cold resistance" or "More diverse water biomes".
- The final selection of improvements/new features will be made in the next community voting in late 2018.
- Search if your idea has already been suggested. Having an idea posted twice hurts both posts since all upvotes are counted seperately.

yea, i read that. i just feel like we should be able to post the same things twice because then people can still upvote on the seperate posts on which one they like more than the other cause then we have more options. i probably wont do it again if people like to point that out though

yes but 0 hearing makes no sense. camoflauge does make sense however

 

yea thanks for agreeing on the camouflage thing, i quite like the idea
yea already in the suggestion its at 1 hearing. but looking at all the ear genes now they all have at least 3 hearing. so i might edit and make the no ears thing 2 hearing so its still fine but not as good as others

Isn't poison snout already a snake head? to me it looks like a snake head

 

oh and I already made something for No Ears weeks ago

 

 

Poison snout i dont know if its meant to be a snake head? it doesnt look too much like one to me, but its sort of a matter of opinion i guess.
As for the 'same post thing' it kind of confuses me? i figured it was okay to post same ones as long as they're different because then we have multiple opinions that can be sort of combined, stuff like that

Hey, I think you’ve got some pretty interesting genes here, but I think some of them need a bit of balancing. First, there’s a scaly body suggestion here: 

I think that the unique ability of the lizard tail should be enough and doesn’t need the added on distasteful appearance. Also the stats for no ears doesn’t make much sense to me, I see where you’re coming from but I think it can be better.

I'll explain my reasoning:
my scaly body suggestion is different, if you look at the comments there they mentioned the scales change other body parts where as mine is just the body, which is why i figured it was okay to give it a shot.
i realize now that the lizard tail + that ability would not be very good. if it's a distasteful appearance the predators wont want to hit the nicheling to trigger the ability, so i agree with you on that part. As for the no ears, the one hearing (lowest hearing of all the ears) maybe should have been 0 hearing as it.. has no ears.. but for the camouflage my reasoning was that when the ears of the nichelings jut out it can be seen maybe from above tall grasses, where as no ears would allow the nicheling to kind of duck and traverse through tall grasses better.

not sure if this is intentional?  but when you're next to or in regrowing grass it doesn't go transparent

@Dinocanid
sounds awesome

@Dinocanid
perfect! it will be its own tail. but will it be the medium tail with a  tuft, or fishing tail with the tuft?

[Questions About Niche Wildlife]

@Lilytuft oooh! yes good idea

I miss being able to name them. I remember from my first snow tribe, how much fun it was to keep track of them

same! and being able to name bearyenas and everything
i think they should add that back in, (and change the naming feature back to where you can just click it rather than go in the family tree)
sometimes i subconsciously click the name in the bottom left because i forgot they changed it

[Mane types​ 🦁]

 @Lilytuft hmm.. maybe if there was a gene for tail tuft colors, if it was a specific color fish would see it as food, because when fur is wet it's of course not going to be so fluffy anymore
or well, tail tuft maybe isn't always on fishing tail and there's a gene for no tail tuft or some tail fluff
if the person playing is going more for looks, they can breed the tail tuft in, but if they're not and is just going for fishing they can breed it out
usually when i get fishing tail im not actually trying to get it, i mostly try to breed it out actually. and maybe the tail tuft on the fishing tail makes the fishing tail give only +1 fishing, and +1 attractiveness?

[Questions About Niche Wildlife]

walrusdeer are preeeetty majestic
just look at that face
 hello there

i most definitely like the ramfox!

[Mane types​ 🦁]

@Lilytuft

hmm well thinking about it now stinky tail is already the most fluffy
but here is what i was imagining for the fishing tail!

basically, it would be very lion-like, (and i have an opinion that tail tufts should be shown on males as well? because fishing tail with tail tuft, and big mane could be a very awesome lion look!)

[Mane types​ 🦁]

absolutely love this idea!! and it could be all different colors, and give attractiveness
i think the tail tip thing can go on more tails though

[Questions About Niche Wildlife]

Don't forget Ramfoxes! and walrusdeer of course
ram and foxes combined together actually make a pretty cute creature

also its taken me so long to figure out what the other half of the bearyena is!
its a bear/hyena, right?

[Share your favourite nichelings!]

Here are a few royals of mine:


Mocha, of the Blossom Tribe 3.0 (Tribe of the Blossoming Flowers)

A playful and mischevious Nicheling, a short snouted creature born from two derp snout parents,
in a tribe of derp snouts. He was deemed royal after birth, due to his odd short snout never seen by the tribe.
He is only young but when he grows he is to be paired with the finest female, and to produce royal babies.
After he dies, one of his sons will take his place as the royal of the tribe.

Caramel, of the Blossom Tribe 3.0 (Tribe of the Blossoming Flowers)

A quiet and shy Nicheling, a long snouted creature born from two derp snout parents,
in a tribe of derp snouts. He is the brother of the royal Mocha, and will be deemed royal
if Mocha so happens to die before producing any sons. He is actually looked down upon
for being born so soon after his brother Mocha. He will surely be overthrown if he were to become royal.

Vantaduck, of the Blossom Tribe 3.0 (Tribe of the Blossoming Flowers)

A strong and attractive Nicheling. First of the tribe with the peacock tail, father of Caramel and Mocha.
Said to be unworthy of the royal title. Conflict about if Vantaduck and his mate, Reanara, can truly be called royalty.
Reanara does not care about the royal title, and is only proud of her son Mocha for being deemed as royal.
Vantaduck continues to fight for the royal title, but is it really worth it?

[Horn Growth.]

this is a great idea! i think they should add this.
