Mating Call Also Highlights Suitable Mates


Moonar Landing

Post

So in the next update we're getting a super neat call in which a nicheling can sit on a tree stump and makes a call to attract other wild nechlings, and your chance of success is raised with lower populations. 

I was thinking an additional use could be that when your creature makes this call they get a temporary buff that "highlights" nichelings of the opposite sex with compatible immunity genes. The buff would last a few days and, when selected, the nicheling that made the call can see nichelings with completely different immunity genes highlighted on their smell-vision. When that nicheling isn't actively selected, no highlight! Perhaps it could work with friendly bearyenas as well, where you have no way of knowing whether or not they'll pass on similar immunity genes until after you've already mated.

I figured this addition could be useful to people with larger populations (and friendly bearyenas), where clicking through tons of nichelings to find a pair that's compatible can be a little tedious and make it just a little more fun to run our tribes. :) It would also more-easily bring to attention when, whoops, you only have one immunity-compatible couple left, better think of something quick!
