cheek pouches

Cheek pouches would be an allele under the nose gene and would have 3 collecting and 3 smelling. They would be an alternative for the bird beak if a nicheling has forelimbs like the claw or digging paw which don't have any collecting

This would be awesome, though it would be better if it's stats were a little balanced out. With the current stats, it's a Big Nose but with three collecting. I propose for this Cheek Pouch to instead have 2 collecting and 2 smelling, that way it's just a little more balanced so it won't always be the gene that every tribe aims for. Also, how would it be unlocked in the mutation menu? Maybe the cheeks could fill up when you collect berries, and when the night comes, the creature will deposit the berries into the food store, eating from it's deposit. (It would deposit the food before everyone eats)

Smell could go down to 1 or 2  and collecting could stay 3. Pouches on chipmunks can apparently reach the size of their body when completely full, and would be able to gather a lot more efficiently than the nimble fingers which give 2 collecting

 I hadn't really thought about how it would be unlocked. Perhaps the nichelings would need to gather a set amount of berries to unlock it. 125 maybe? That would be a bit more than the nimble fingers, but not too much
