Red Fox Challenge

[ghostea]

This challenge is based on red foxes, as the title implies!

 

To start off, make a sandbox game. Set lifespans to 1 Baby, 7 Child, 8 Teen, 40 or more for adult. Keep pregnancy duration the same. Turn blind genes on. Your two starter Nichelings should have the following genes:

• Any ears except Round Ears
• No horns
• Any eyes
• Big Nose
• Big, Medium, or Lean Body
• Any paw except Wings, Bat Wings, Mammoth Foot, and Webbed Paws
• Any Legs except Webbed Hind Legs
• Medium Tail
• Melanism and Albinism is up to you.

 

• Yellow Fur or Beige Fur + Red  Fur or Red Brown Fur
• Any Eye color
• Any horn color
• White Pattern
• Mask

The rest of the genes are for you to decide. If you want, you can completely disregard this section.

You can start with whatever amount of food you want, but I recomend 50. If you really want it to be hard, set it to 30-20.

 

Now for the actual challenge.

You can start on any island. Don't breed until you've found a permanent nest. After you find one, breed the male and female. Move the female onto the nest. As long as the female is pregnant, they cannot move off the nest. You should probably keep the male close, since they'll be breeding every turn. When the female gives birth, roll a random number generator of 3-7. That number is the amount of kits you have. Every day, breed the male and female until you have the amount of kits you rolled. Use the console commands to set every kit to 1 day old. The kits have to stay on adjacent tiles to the mother or nest, or use areas with grass cleared by the nest. The mother stays to protect the kits, while the male is allowed to leave and gather food.

After the kits become teens, they either leave the mother and disperse or stay to care for the next litter as subordinates. The breeding pair cannot breed again until the kits reach adulthood. After they do, you can either continue on a new island as one of the kits or have another litter with your starter Nichelings. If you start on a new island, find a wanderer or rouge. If you want to keep a fox-like appearance, use console commands to edit their genes. Even if they already have something like Big Nose, add it again to make sure they don't have recessive bat head or something.

 

Alright, that's it! Show me your playthroughs!

Can you do this without moving to a new island every time you have a new generation? Also are foxes carnivorous or omnivores?

You can stay on the same island as long as it's an a archipelago island, or the island is large enough for them to be far away from each other. Foxes are omnivores.
