Huh. Didn't know there was that hidden stat but it makes sense. And basically means the safest bet is to try and keep the bear between me and most predators when I haven't got any attack strength.. The main reason I was concerned about the bluebirds is that I do nest right beside bears because the adjacent tile is consistently the safest, so it was pretty alarming that without fail I cannot leave the babies beside one if a bluebird is present. So if it is a bug I hope it's fixed soon, because it would help early game/in harder challenges. But until then I'll just play babies like I would without a bear. Thanks for the help you guys! 😄

What all does the Peaceful Bear protect against when fed nesting material? And what is the range of protection? I remember seeing vaguely that they defend against all predators including Bluebirds, but I've had babies stolen from right beside them by said Bluebirds within a day of feeding them. And for range I've sometimes had a nicheling be safe within two tiles of a Bear, but also been attacked at that range as well.

I like the new feature. I found it odd that the baby's portrait basically looked like an adult before.

I like the idea of rogue females that can steal babies, but not so much the idea of them breeding with your males to make more rogues. Rogue males at least have the benefit of bringing newer genes into your tribe, but females would literally only increase the number of hazards down the line and use valuable turns that could be used for gathering food or fending off predators. But on the note of them stealing babies and becoming hostile, it would likely then need to be the case that they have at least one gene to make them a possible threat.
