I would like to suggest the addition of a new gene slot for lifespan, of which there would be three: short lifespan, medium lifespan, and long lifespan.
A nicheling with the short lifespan gene would live for 20 days, a nicheling with the medium lifespan gene would live for 25 days, and a nicheling with the long lifespan gene would live for 30 days. People have expressed a desire for either shorter or longer lifespans, so this solution would please everybody and add an interesting new element to gameplay. Like most genes, it would be selected from the mutation menu to mutate onto a nicheling's offspring, if desired. Perhaps gene dominance would go in the order of: short lifespan > medium lifespan > long lifespan. This would make the long lifespan gene difficult to obtain, but rewarding to keep, because it would increase your tribe's chance of survival.
A lifespan gene slot is not my original idea, but I wanted to suggest it again so that the idea is not forgotten.
