irtarea Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 There's no such thing as too many nichelings... Right? This isn't my first time with a tribe of 45, unfortunately. It's a side effect of my play style: breed young and often. I think of it as taking the shotgun approach to genetics: lots of babies means more chances of the right babies. But the other reason the population got out of hand was because I haven't been traveling while I camp out waiting for my cold genes to unlock. And in the meantime I (finally) found a friendly bearyena to breed with to unlock those genes... so then there was a side breeding project which created more babies... And here I am. I hate to drown healthy nichelings and there are no spiky cacti (my solution the last time I had a population of 45). I successfully made it to Home Island with my HII and now I'm on a mission to unlock all the genes in the mutation menu. And, I also decided that it'd be amusing to have a tribe with all of the immunity genes. So I end up at the whims of RNGsus on how many offspring it takes to ensure all of my immunity genes make it to the next generation (I'm up to 10, right now; I had 8 when I got to Home Island). It's been an ongoing struggle since Adam and Eve (only 1/9 babies had B). But at least there's lots of helping hands and lots of food collecting. I will never have to worry about starving. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goggles-kun Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 No, as long as you can support that big of a population I think you'll be good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojo Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 I agree with Googles as long as you can support the population you are good. Personally I don't like such big tribes but if it works for you there isn't a problem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iikuzal Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 You have a lot of food so it's enough to support your tribe, also your creatures look pretty healthy . Personally I prefer to have smaller tribes (10-20) so I can keep track of my creatures and it won't be hard to select creatures to move to a new island. (i remember when i had 50+ creatures on the archipelago 😄) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Posted January 26, 2019 Share Posted January 26, 2019 woah woah woah that island is COOL I've never seen an island look like that! I've only ever seen the cold islands have either grass around the edges or none at all! How can it look like that??? also I can't believe anyone with that many days wouldn't have over a thousand nesting material. i always have a ton of it because evryone uses up their turns clearing away grass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spacestar TheThundersuncat Posted January 27, 2019 Share Posted January 27, 2019 I just killed 10 Nichelings on my island of reincarnations. It hurts, but you've got to do it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
