Mistwalker Posted November 5, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jelly Posted November 5, 2017 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojo Posted November 5, 2017 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
42solvesall Posted November 5, 2017 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gimmepanda Posted November 6, 2017 Share 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 Share 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!
