Mistwalker Posted November 5, 2017 Posted November 5, 2017 I propose a feature for Sandbox Mode that would allow the player to set the lifespan of the creatures in that file either longer or shorter. This could be a simple slider that could show the lifespan in days, or perhaps just a drop down menu with pre-set lengths ranging from "very short" - "short" - "normal" - "long"- "very long". I think this would be a nice addition to shake things up with possible challenges or simply if someone wants their creatures to live a bit longer/shorter. Sometimes I myself have a difficult time connecting with my tribe and end up going through turns very quickly, then losing my creatures to old age before I know it. I'd certainly use this option to make the lifespan longer.
Jelly Posted November 5, 2017 Posted November 5, 2017 A lifespan setting would be great! Or genes that help a nicheling live longer at least? (Maybe if the previous generation was healthy, their offspring could live longer? We have a way to make lifespans shorter, but no way of making them longer. A lifespan-changing mode could open the door to all kinds of challenges
Jojo Posted November 5, 2017 Posted November 5, 2017 I would like that idea as well I would love longer lifespans for our Nichelings but I could see that also getting in the way of breeding so a slider or different option would be the best solution for that!
Ruitt Posted November 5, 2017 Posted November 5, 2017 I like this idea. I only 'connected' with my nichelings at the start but now it's usually just about which one looks good.
42solvesall Posted November 5, 2017 Posted November 5, 2017 I would like the nichelings to live longer, too. I lose them to old age much too often. Perhaps even a special berry bush would do, one that makes an old nicheling stay alive longer? Such a berry bush would have to be accessible, though. At least as common as the healing berry bush. If a slide switch for the maximum age of a nicheling is easier to program, that's fine by me, too, of course.
gimmepanda Posted November 6, 2017 Posted November 6, 2017 This would be so helpful. I often find I'm racing to breed with an animal as often as possible before it dies, which is frustrating when chance simply doesn't lead to the offspring inheriting what I want. It often happens with immunity genes. A longer life span could give the option of making that less stressful. Or a shorter lifespan could be an extra level of difficulty if you're into that.
ikbengeengeit Posted November 23, 2017 Posted November 23, 2017 I really like this idea too! I want to become attached to my nichelings, but they are usually dead before I even learn their name. Would love to have some more bonding time with them!
