Average Snowy Weather Escape

[Modiano Urania]

The challenge is simple

There are 2 ways to complete it:

Starting nicheling leaves Frost Lands.

Starting nicheling lives in the Frost Lands and has at least one child to continue the tribe before dying of old age.

Of course, the starting nicheling's bloodline must continue

Rules:

no console commands

start with max food and nesting material

all genes unlocked

Mutations that would have required unlocking can only be used after a tribeborn nicheling dies of old age each.

disable rouge males (optional)

anything else related to snowy islands has to stay

Nicheling must be 4 days old

Here's the nicheling

NOTE: as dots may not always match, the pattern genes are Medium-Huge and Very thin-Thin

and here's the age and damage settings (i would send the sandbox settings themselves but im using this one for something else-)

Good luck

So if they have a child does the child have to escape? Also can't you just speedrun to the port?

If you want,

Yes, you COULD speedrun to the port. You just have to avoid:

Balance Bears

Ramfoxes

Bluebirds

Wanderers stealing your hot springs

Freezing

fair enough. Also I may not give her a whole ton of food and nesting material to make it even worse... what does "nicheling must be 4 days old" mean?

She must be 4 days old when you start

Attempt #1:

Angyla is on the port. Completely alone in the world.

She hesitates for a day before padding out onto the cold stone. She must find others.

Then, the first snow. She is cold and tempted to creep back into the comforting grasses, but she knows she must find another nicheling to give her warmth.

The snow begins building up on the ground. Angyla begins to panic and heads toward a patch of clover, hoping it will keep her warm and sheltered.

The patch of clover doesn't help much at all, and Angela finds herself surrounded by walls of snow. She hears a strange creature make a scary noise nearby and shies away.

Unable to plow through the snow any longer, Angyla jumps into the freezing cold water. She spots a hot springs and is attracted by its warmth. However, a leach latches onto her. I should've seen it lurking in the water and scooped it up, but I didn't.

Angyla hears a terrifying screech and looks up to see a big blue bird circling overhead...

What luck! Angyla becomes a teen just in time! And she makes it to the hotsprings. But the leech is bleeding her dry and her fat stores are about to run out.

She hears a pack of ramfoxes and wonders if it's a good idea to hunt them. She pushes away the snow and peers at them. She figures she should see if one of them follows her so she can kill it without the others all attacking her. She makes a loud noise so they know she's there and scurries away. But they don't come. The life drained out of her by bleeding and starvation, she paws at the earth for a root she faintly smells before loosing consciousness. She never regains it again.

 

(I can see now why you suggested starting with max food lol. Though she still would've died from the leech, a death sentence with no-one to pick it off. Next time I head straight for the ice chunk while I can still see it!)
