bostonlobstah Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Basically what I am going to do is make tons of savefiles on different islands of your choice and share the best or luckiest ones with you! I will not make any progress, just have the starters so you can ‘pick’ their genes without using the console of course others can do the same, and we can all share our best starting pairs. All of the saves I make will be in slot four. i will start this tomorrow. Which islands are your favorites so I know which islands to start on? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilytuft Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Summer mountains is a good starter island 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonlobstah Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 I started a bunch of saves. My luckiest/favorite ones I will post here! Any others you can ask for and I can post them as well. Quadruple Claws on the Burning Savannah! I made no progress on this tribe yet. Literally just created the world, took screenshots of the creatures and exited. The ports are Oasis, Swampy Hill, and Grass Adventure. Their offspring and future generations would be great for the oasis. Lots of claws and fishing tails on these guys! Slot4.nichesave 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bostonlobstah Posted October 12, 2018 Author Share Posted October 12, 2018 Sure! Maybe this will help. If you are still having trouble I might be able to help, no guarantees though If you find the savefile folder, simply paste the new file into an empty slot. BUT it has to be the same slot. You cannot put my Slot4 savefile before Slot3 or it won't work. If Your Slot 4 is already taken, copy the savefile and move it to a different folder to save it. Then delete the original and insert the new file. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alyssa1864 Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 I just don't understand what C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Niche\Windows\Niche_Data\output_log.txt means, such as, how do I use it? I am so confused, I'm not a "computer expert". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonlobstah Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 Here's how I got there. I have a Windows 10 (i think) I open up a random folder on the desktop. Then I look along the sidebar and click "This PC." There should be a Windows (C:) icon that you click. Then you keep clicking folders, following the order above. One other thing that may be important is, if you look along the top of the finder view, click "View" and check the box that says "Hidden Folders." (Sorry for the late reply. It's my sister's birthday!) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bostonlobstah Posted October 13, 2018 Author Share Posted October 13, 2018 Just now, alyssa1864 said: OMG IT WORKS- IM IN THE SAVE YOu SEnT screAMS- Yay!!! That kind of stuff is super important if you want to back up a savefile. For example if you want to use the console, which can have some huge bugs that can crash the game, you go back to that hidden folder and copy the save you are going to experiment on. Then you put the copy in a safe place so if you get stuck at night for example (one of the major console bugs) you can delete the save and put the backup back into its slot! It came in very handy for my sister. She was playing a save and accidentally took only one nicheling on a port to a new island. Thanks to a backup, (and me for finding the folder! lol) she did not lose much progress at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is an Adam's Journey, and so far it has over 20 Nichelings. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not able to use my computer right now but I'll be sure to play it a bit later! I'll also send you some of my saves if you want! I have an archipelago birbs save, and some other grass adventure saves, including one with the descendants of my avatar, Feldspar. None have a ton of food, all have way too many creatures, but they are not starving to death either. When I get back home I can send you some if you want.
