Debuffs for albinism ​👁️

[Lilytuft]

Right now albinism in niche is a desirable gene due to it's beutiful looks, even tough it removes all camoflauge. In real life albino animals have a really small change of surviving. They lack protection from UV and have bad eyesight. I have had rats with red eyes, and they all had bad eyesight. (I haven't had an albino rat, but many colors like marten come with red eyes.)

So my suggestion is to edit following stats on albino nichelings:

• remove all heat recistance
• make it so that albino nichelings can only have blind or shortsighted eyes

This is just to make the game more realistic. Albinism is currently too easy to survive with. If a lot of people don't want it, we could make it a sandbox option!

Suggestion: Instead of making it so albinos can only have shortsighted/blind eyes, just make it where if they have regular eyesight they get -1 eyesight, so then it's the equivalent of having shortsighted eyes. If they are already shortsighted or blind, this won't happen and they'll retain their poor/nonexistent eyesight.

I like the idea, thanks for putting a link to my suggestion

The only thing I would change though, I think that no heat resistance and sun sensitivity are not the same thing. A nicheling can still get sun exposure on frost lands for example. What I propose is instead of reminding heat resistance, they get a new stat that makes them more sun sensitive. This means that albinos would have some sort of debuff when it is not raining and they aren’t under shade or in the water. Alternatively, sunny days can vary in amount of sun exposure. This would be harder to implement I imagine because weather with different amounts of clouds would be at play.

So what you're saying is:

Also uh thanks for linking my suggestion

Maybe on savannah, grassland and mountain islands if an albino nicheling isn't either under a tree or in tall grass and it isnt raining when you skip a turn it takes a day of damage. As @bostonlobstah said, a nicheling can have great heat resistance and still suffur from poor UV ray protection

-1 Eyesight
-2 Heat Resistance
+1 Cold Resistance
+3 Camouflage in Snow

Albinism has no effect on an animal's heat/cold resistance, but the lack of melanin makes them sensitive to UV rays. There are a few coments above which suggest ways to add sun sensitivity to the game. I would also only have +2 camouflage in snow, theres no reason for it to give better camouflage than white fur which looks the same

That's what I was going for. I just couldn't find the right words. Thanks!
