please suggest better names for these, I wanted to call Live Birther 'Mamillian' but pretty much every other species lays eggs so there wouldn't be a good matching name for Egg Layer
These genes would need an additional slot just for them.Live Birther is more common than Egg Layer. Neither gene appears in the mutation menu.
Live Birther: The Nicheling gives birth the same way it does now. Dominant to Egg Layer.
Egg Layer: When a female is mated with, she will be 'pregnant'. The female, regardless of pregnancy duration (more about that later) can go to a nest and lay her eggs at any time, including the day she is impregnated. When the pregnant-with-eggs female stays on a nest overnight, she will lay an egg (or two, if it's twins). The egg will hatch the next day in Story mode, and equal to the Pregnancy Duration in Sandbox mode (ex. Pregnancy Duration is 3 days, egg hatches after 3 days). The egg will stay in the nest until it hatches overnight, making the noise of a baby when they are normally born, and will appear as though they were live birthed; for special effects, you could do a hatching noise then the baby cry, along with some egg shells strewn about in the nest that disappear after a day. After hatching, the baby will act exactly like a live-birthed baby would. This gene is recessive to Live Birther.
Ideas for what the egg could look like:
-just white
-randomly white or brown
-baby's horn color
-similar to baby's fur and pattern (and colors)
this suggestion is like an alternate version of this suggestion, so please vote for it if you'd rather it be a Sandbox setting than a gene:
