I still can't believe my suggestions made it into the game. I'm so hyped for this!

I think it's because my game is on a lower resolution. Nothing fancy sadly

I've fallen in love with the heat body this time around. Am I the only one who thinks it looks really regal, especially when combined with ram horns?

I love its colours. It reminds me of a tribe I had living in the Grass Mingle whose population consisted mostly of creatures with black fur and orange spots.

Upvoted. I suggested logs for insectivorous nichelings to feed from and this is expands on the idea really nicely.

This is going to be a very dark suggestion. There have been times where my tribes have been starving to death and as my creatures finally succumb, I think to myself 'surely the rest of the creatures would be desperate enough to eat them.' When a nicheling dies, whether it is one of your own, a rogue male, or a wanderer, you should have the option to collect food from its remains. But at a price. If one of your creatures cannibalises another, it has a chance to become sick and maybe go rogue if the game mechanics allow for it. Which is why your creatures should only do it if they are very desperate.

Upvoted. Maybe there could be a very rare chance for creatures to get struck by lightning during thunderstorms too.

They look really cool and they definitely fit in with the world of Niche. I hope this suggestion gets plenty more upvotes.

I like to roleplay with my nichelings a lot so this would be great for choosing a colour that matches a nicheling's personality and story.

This reminds me a lot of the Carboniferous coal forests. Have a vote!

Roars have already been implemented. The bearyena snout and the saber tooth fangs will give you strong voice

One way I could see this working is the toxic body, which is very froglike, giving your nichelings the ability to change their sex. I'm looking forward to seeing other peoples' take on this.

Birbs are love

Interesting! I've always wanted the beach and ocean environments to be expanded upon. Maybe there could be a chance for something special to wash up on the beach every now and then. Like a nicheling with rare genes or a rare resource.

Hi all! This is the first time making a suggestion so here goes. Many animals feed on insects so why not nichelings? Potential food sources could be the bug swarms already in game, logs, and termite mounds. Logs would be found in grasslands and maybe jungles too. They would function like berry bushes, yielding a certain ammount of insect food and replenishing their supplies overnight. Termite mounds would be found in the savannah and can be cracked open, respawning two days after initially being destroyed. Like carnivorous plants, they can spawn as hostile or non-hostile. Non-hostile termite mounds can be cracked open and gathered from safely. When a nicheling gathers from or cracks open a hostile termite mound, they will be swarmed. The termite swarm must be licked off by another nicheling before the day ends or the nicheling will be bitten and take damage. I have designed an insectivore head inspired by anteaters and pangolins. I call it the Sticky Tongue! I imagine it would give 3+ insect collecting and 3+ smell. And perhaps the beak gene could give 2+ insect collecting.

Hi! I am from the United Kingdom and I am going on to do a master's degree in medieval studies. My primary interests are nature, history, art, and writing fiction. I used to be obsessed with anime and manga back in my teens and I want to get back into it these days I've been playing Niche since early access and have clocked well over 200 hours in it. I'm totally addicted! It's such a relaxing and open ended game. Very easy to make your own stories and lore.
