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 )

I think that like cats and dogs in real life, Nichelings should be able to hold their kits in their mouths. The baby could be carried as soon as it is born, and can be carried up until two gems. Maybe also big bodied or large bodied creatures could carry lean bodied creatures like how in the wild sometimes animals will carry the weaker members of their packs or family. It would really help out when you have this one baby that runs out of energy before making it to the port, and you can just pick them up and leave the island. It would also make it easier so that the blue birds couldn't reach the baby. - Niches can only carry their babies till 2 gems! - Babies that are carried up until two gems will not grow, and the child may take slight damage due to not being able to grow. They will be dropped onto available tiles next to the mother, if none than baby will stop growing until put down. - You CANNOT do anything besides walking when holding a kit in its mouth. - Rare chance that a bluebird may still attack a scruff carried nicheling, however parent can fight back.

Ok this is actually more of a role-play aspect of the game. Perhaps there should be a little bubble that you can write stuff about that particular niche. Maybe about the most successful babies born to that niche, roles in the tribe, or just little reminders to breed that niche with another! It would be really helpful to me, who often forgets about breeding my best niches together, and it would be fun to make a little story in the progress!

Hello! So I think that niche could use a little bit more idle movement. The eye blinking is already a nice step, but besides that and head moving, there really isn't a lot of interactions or movements, so here are a few things I think would be nice to add. -Maybe a nose lick, scratching and itch or just moving their ears around? -when going to sleep, they can curl into a little ball. - Maybe (If its not too much work!) Add a little brawling, perhaps a rare animation that happens between two males one in a moon? Those are my suggestions! thanks for considering

Ok sounds like a cool idea! Since rabies is a very serious disease and acts pretty fast I think it could only be cured on the 3rd day, and I'll expand the disease to only complete by day 5 ^^

This sounds like a really nice idea! Since it limits the repetitive aspect of the game that can sometimes make it a bit boring! Great idea!

I was thinking that there should be some more Niche sicknesses in the game, and the one I immediately though of was rabies. Here is what it will do and how it will work. - So first A niche may be attacked by a bearyena/ other predator, this gives the niche a chance to become infected. (Though still pretty small) - The infected Niche will first start resisting user commands, and will lose life slowly. (Day 1) - After a day it will be entirely inoperable and will start attacking the babies of the tribe. Eyes will also appear red or milky. (Day 2) - On the third day it will start attacking its own tribe members, resulting in more rabid niches. (Day 3) - Unless killed they will continue losing health and attacking niches and any other creature nearby. Their lifespan will be cute in half. - Remember this is a rare to moderate chance! More so depending on the predator. Red-eyed Bearyenas have a bigger chance of having it. - Rogue males may also have a VERy rare chance of obtaining rabies and passing it onto your tribe! Edit: The editing button works now yay!!! Thats my thoughts!

@ArosefromPluto Ok good idea! My original intention was to sort of make it like Sirenomilia *probably spelled that wrong* But a seal tail or walrus tail would probably be really cool!

I thought it was 3 suggestions per post I'm going to check the rules again real quick , ok yeah it was three threads per person sorry I misunderstood the rules, deleted all of them except three including this one!

Lol this is for Niche, not Nimbatus

I segmented this post into categories so it would only have 3 suggestions each post same stuff though!
