Questions: What random generator are you using for the names, because they sound awesome! And why only have so few kits whenever someone mated?
-
Cute idea but why should the Lynx ears only give attractiveness to males?

F-MB-XW-G2-NV-H2-N2-R2-M2-6-KA
Female
Medium/Big (ears)
No trait/Antenna for telling the Weather (A stands for Antler)
Good eye genes (2 of them)
Big Nose/Poison Venomous fangs
Heat Body genes (2 of them)
Nimble finger (2 of them)
Hind legs, but I like to call them Runner legs cuz they're fast (and H stands for something else)
Medium tail (2 of them)
6 fertility
Immunities K and AX stands for things that rogues usually have. Like no antlers, derp snout, deformed paw, stinky tail, etc
In my other files, I use H to stand for Hybrid. Bearyenna ears, face, claw, legs, etc
(yeah i do use this naming system normally in other games, don't make fun of me)
Actually at the beginning, I was using P for Poison fang, but I decided to change it to V.
There are like 3 tails that start with S (stinky, swimming, scorpion) so I made V for scorpion tail. I'll use V for toxic body too.I'd never be able to remember that ^^
You probably know that but you can test which tiles are ports by placing a pregnant Nicheling on them, if the Nicheling can build a nest it is not a travel tile

Whenever I get really bored, I just stop playing, sometimes for weeks or months, it can take up to half a year or even more (though usually not with Niche but I had and still have it with other games I play occasionally) until I really get the urge to play the game again. I don't think there is a better fix if challenges don't do it for you
Maybe the next update will help out

I don't feel like the serial numbers are efficient XD mainly because they don't make sense to me and seem exhausting to type lol.
Like the challenge though and damn your Eve was beautiful 😮

I decided to just make a new file to play this challenge on, and it's really fun so far! Here's my list for the challenge: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1D7SWQ3L9FvRh1vWJwflaydAGLRjPyiEUkj8h4CpvskY/edit?usp=sharing
This challenge is really fun to use with this website called Family Echo. It's intended for people to use to make their family tree, but it's fun to use with games, too! Here's my DuskClan family tree: http://www.familyecho.com/?p=ERBQV&c=8g9nkkb647&f=635598599599839584
You can use Family Echo to not only record how your creatures are related (in a more extended way than the in-game tree), but also record their aspirations, mentors, mates, and more! (Not sponsored by Family Echo lol)
I love family echo, though often I find it difficult to use with Niche as either I have to much incest for the programming to handle and or at one point my family trees get so extensive and weird that you don't know what is going on anymore ^^

I rarely give warriors 3 aspirations. Even then, Starclan wants to mess with people, introducing the medicine cat that wants to be medicine cat that wants to be medicine cat that wants to be medicine cat.
Though it is easier to reinterpret their goals sometimes. Checking for couples first, then making someone outside of one a medicine cat. It bends the rules somewhat, but might be better than medicine cats breaking the code too often.
A healer might reject an apprentice, as they received no sign from starclan, story-wise, or the cat might just feel very close to their ancestors. Maybe even receive visions of the future.
That's what I am going with, at least. Can't have 3-4 healers at all times due to an evil, evil generator.
Yeah, I had some strange double ups as well , though I usually figure out how to make it work, especially with my modified ones or I just roll again if it gets to weird. I actually didn't have the problem with the med cats (apart from the rule breaking which I totally don't mind because I think the rule that med cats are not allowed to have children is stupid anyway ^^)

Sure go right ahead! I love that this is somewhat of a community project now ❤️ . Your base idea was really great

Okay here we go. Many of the aspirations are still the same but have a few personailties added to them so that there is a little bit more variation. I also added few at the end and more random rolls.
The other random rolls (apart from the already implemented rogue role):
Wounded (use this when one of your Nichelings/ Cats was wounded by a predator):
1. easy wound (warrior can be easily healed and continue on with his duties)
2. medium wound (needs one day of rest( literally not allowed to do anything but guard kits and hang around)
3. grave wound (early retirement)
4. dies of injuries (banish Nicheling/ drown them/ get rid of them somehow)
Sick child:
1. lives
2. lives but needs to rest often
3. lives close to the medicine cats, can't move far
4. dies
Fight with an enemy cat:
1. wins
2.looses
3. wins but wounded (roll wound)
4. looses and wounded (roll wound)
Aspirations:
1. wants to be leader/ ambitious (if for example first roll is med cat, you can have the aspiration be ambitious)
2. deputy/ helpful/ visionary
3. med cat
4. Master all skills/ wants to prove himself (works really well with rogue children)
5. Mast fighting skill/ short tempered/ argumentative/ angry
6. Master Hunter/ smart/ patient/
7. Master fisher/ opportunistic
8. mate of important cat/ arrogant/ vain
9. monogamy
10. polyamorous
11. one litter
12. multiple litters with 1 cat
13. polyamorous + kits
14. mentor multiple times
15. mentor
16. wins territory from enemy/ ambitious/ argumentative/ fierce/ wild
17. attack enemy clan in own camp/ attack predator alone/ foolish/ blinded by rage
18. part time rogue/ urge to explore
19. convince multiple outsiders to join/ charming/ friendly
20. one outsider join/ open/ friendly
21. many close friends/ teamwork/ easy to be around/ sunshine
22. best friend with 1 other/ shy/ introverted
23. enemies with multiple cats/ hostile/ grumpy
24. one enemy/ strong will/ free spirited

What's console? Is it like cheat codes to get you unlimited food and nesting material?
Yeah it is, but currently it is pretty buggy though I heard unlimited food doesn't bug your game out as much, I don't even know if you can give yourself unlimited nesting material

I had already quite some stories with this challenge. It can get a little bit hectic with appointing all the aspirations at the right time so I changed it to one aspiration at birth and two when they become warrior.
I am also planning on configuring some of the aspirations, maybe add some here and there. I can post them here if anybody is interested.
The story I had was pretty intense. I invited a wanderer called Rere which then got the aspiration to basically leave the clan and live as a wanderer again. I thought 'man that sucks' and started thinking about how I would pull that of story wise and then stuff happened. Another wanderer showed up and the generators said my clan fights her. Rere witnesses that, freaks out and leaves (which leaves Berrystrike the one who invited and cared for her heartbroken). Rere then starts to steal food, which is not tolerated and is being attacked by the clan. She flees into the ocean, Thornhiss follows her (he has the aspiration to kill a cat), kills her in the ocean and returns, telling the others Rere drowned and that he tried to save her, being a well respected member of the clan (he also wants to be leader) they believe him and later he is actually made deputy by Berrystar.
Later the wanderer that was attacked shows up again and this time Berrystrike is Berrystar, invites her and takes her as his mate (his aspirations are master fighter, wants to win a fight and wants to win a fight which I interpreted as 'doesn't take no for an answer'). So Meko didn't really have much to say in the whole mate situation which wasn't to bad though as one of her aspirations was to find a mate for life. They had one son Blackkit, later named Blackberry who became medicine cat but broke the rules pretty dramaticly in having a mate (I had to do that because I had awful luck with the immunity genes and Blackberry was the only one with immunity D and the only one that could make a healthy pairing and I didn't want my clan to be all sick).
The cool thing is when I got another medicine cat, I wondered if she was going to be a rule breaker, I was planning not to but she got the aspiration to find a mate, which ties in really nicely with the story, that she learned it that way from her mentor Blackberry.
As you can see I am having a great time with the challenge

This is amazing! I usually find it hard to get into foreign tribes with more than 4 Nichelings but I might try this... when I have time to play again that is ^^

Well, if you guys don't advise me to do it, what language do you advise me to learn? I'm not interested in French, Spanish would probably be helpful because of where I live, and I heard Nordic languages are waaaay harder.
If you want to do it, don't let other people let you talk out of it. Learning languages is always tricky. I really enjoy learning languages and if you choose the language it is way easier just because you have the motivation
Also if you can speak German learning Norwegian is really easy (I am in my third semester of learning Norwegian and a lot of the grammar is the same with the german grammar). I can't say much about Swedish but danish is very similar to Norwegian so I guess still easy if you can speak German. Finnish is super hard and I don't think worth learning (not many people speak finnish). Islandic is interesting (easier to learn if you can speak Norwegian)

People who work in shelters and stuff are great! Maybe I can get to do that in the future too

Taking animals from shelters or similar organizations is great. Our dog is from a rescue organization and she is great! The cutes thing (of course she has her quirks ^^)

I think having an opinion is fine, as long as you can act objectively. The trick is recognizing when you're having trouble being objective.
I always told people on the Mod team not to hesitate to ask another Mod to take over, if they feel they're too involved in or upset by a situation. It's not a failing if a mod recognizes they aren't the right person for a situation.
Very wise

Now I have the urge to take every single letter of the alphabet and see what comes up in the console ^^

Well, that is not the world's easiest language to learn. I am German but I am not sure if I can give you many tips. It is like any other language just that it sucks XD You have to learn an awful lot... and German is weird, we have so many grammar rules that are just weird. I mean 'umfahren' and 'umfahren' mean completly the opposite depending on intonation ^^
Though once you are far enough reading and watching movies/ tv series in german helps an awful lot (and we have a crapton of dubbed stuff soo that will be easy) that's the way I learned english after getting far enough through school I read a lot of books and watched english stuff

I like the first one. That is usually where my clans reside. Though more often than not paired with an acorn tree and less palm trees

Oh yeah, do that. I would be curious to see where it goes

Don't look at me, Jbox is the troublemaker.
All seriousness though, modding and alpha/beta forums tend to be administration, organization, and keeping out spam. It's when a forum gets big or is focused on something contentious (like where opposing teams talk trash) that the personality issues like you come out.
Yeah, as a mod it is sometimes better just not to have an opinion and keep the sides from being to rude. Though the Stray Fawn studio so far has been mostly really nice

I know what you mean, I think it is probably bad luck. I have that problem from time to time but it isn't as extreme as in your case. So as said same with the immunity genes, the Niche Gods just want to troll you

I am sorry that it went that way. Hope Lisa will find peace (like being less stressed). And I hope if you decide to get another pet that it will be better for you too

Pattern color modifications
in Customization options for sandbox mode
Posted
I think this should be in general feature request right?
Also really like the idea, especially as the masks can be huge and almost completly take over the regular fur colour so a black Nicheling with a huge white masks (so he looks basically white) should get snow camouflage
