So I was thinking, wouldn't it be cool if certain creatures had affinities with each other in a pack? How it would work: There would be 5 different affinities. "hate" "dislike" "Neutral" "like" and "love" Nichelings would automatically love their parents. Niches that breed together may up their affinities with each other. Two niches that have a high affinity for each other may have a better chance at procreating. Two niches with hate or dislike for each other have more issues procreating successfully. Niches gain affinity from the pack by hunting food, berry picking, and becoming alpha. A niche creature with "hate" affinity from multiple pack members may be automatically forced from the pack, though this would be a VERY RARE occurrence! And you can win back your member with 5 food like a wanderer, and their affinity would be reset! Thats just my idea! I think it would help add on to the importance of collecting food, and also help give the game a sort of pack hierarchy aspect besides the alpha, beta, and omega roles. It would also be a good aspect to the Rping part of the game :3

I love this idea! We've all been there where all but two off the same sexed nichelings survived and theres a bunch of corpses around you your basically screwed. I think another thing to add to it is that if your creature resorts to canniblism its offspring has a small chance of an unhealthily mutation like derpsnout or cripple paw!

Hello! This is just a random idea I got! A grub trunk is a large fallen tree that is a tree trunk's height, and takes about 5 spaces. It is hollow inside, and has a decaying appearance. A grub trunk can fit baby niches and lean bodied creatures in it, however some grub trunks can be occupied by ram foxes or baby bearyenas, making it a bit risky unless you have well prepared nichelings. -Beaked nichelings can collect grubs from the grub trunk. -Nichelings with two nimble fingers can also collect grubs from the grub trunk. -Lean bodied, and baby niches can be fit into a grub trunk. -Eventaully a grub trunk will despawn/decay fully, in around 10-15 days. -Sometimes grub trunks may hold predators, or prey like rabbils.

This is a really cool bug. I'm not sure it can even be called a bug Please keep it!

A Skrabird is a mix between a lizard an a bird. It has the face, beak, and wings of a bird with the tail and legs of a lizard. - The Skrabird would spawn in marshes and grasslands. - They would hunt in packs of 3 - 7 and roughly be the size of a juvenile Nicheling - They come in colors of brown/green black/gray blue/white depending on the environment. - They will attack niches that come too close to their nest. (They nest on the ground) -They would be situated in trees and ground. - Killing a Skrabird would give you around 3-7 meat - You can friend a Skrabird if you quietly steal eggs out of their sight range and put the eggs on a nest. They will then hatch in litters of 2 - 4 Skrabirds, and they would be able to hunt fish for you if a niche is near any. They hunt around 2 fish for every 2 skrabirds you have. They also can alert you to predators in the area and attack them, though they can be killed easily by a bearyena. - Skrabirds are naturally aggressive towards Niches and have 3+ attack for every 2 Skrabirds in a pack. - A golden Skrabird drops 9 meat and poisons niches. Those are my thoughts

@Philo hmm. wait I'm trying to get my brain to actually think XD... Perhaps the mother wouldn't drop the child, but the mom would take damaged for having to carry such a weight, or the baby would just be unlucky and the bearyena would be very happy! Like JoJo said the other niches may automatically move a tile over to let the baby down, but my brain isn't that good Cx

@Philo I think that it would just automatically be dropped onto the closest possible tile ^^

@Philo Nothing!

@Pokestardragacraft eh I'll probably find out later if its not a bug

@Pokestardragacraft No it doesn't pop up or anything!

I really like those ideas! And I would add them in, If I knew how to edit posts DX

How do you edit please? Im not sure if it was a problem with forums, just with my brain And Jojo that would be a good idea!

hmmm, lol Ill find out later

Sounds like an awesome idea! Question how do I edit my post though? Sorry Im a noob!

Ok, so how this would work is that maybe somewhere on the top of the screen there would be a little icon with a timeline in it. How the timeline would work is: - It would show how many times your niches traveled to different islands. - It will show the most popular and evolutionarily successful traits every 50 niche days. -It would show extinctions and mass niche wipeouts - And it would show the population numbers every 50 niche days. I think this would be a cool little thing to add because it would sort of act like your own little evolutionary timeline showing you how your niches evolved overtime without having to look at the family tree constantly! (BTW sorry for making so many posts I love how active this community is and can't stop myself )
