Today I’m going to take a break from getting my downloads working and I’m going to set up an AFK wolfling run to go throughout the day, all on its own.
To begin with, I installed a whole lot of agents including Room Edits, Elevines and Garden Box to fix some issues with the C1toDS room I’d be using and lots of growing food.
Once I’d created a bridge across the ocean, fixed all the elevators and made CA Links, it was time to introduce the norns.
These six randomly chosen norns would be our group. Yes, they were random! I let Eggonicer choose the eggs and it decided it wanted two bruins and two magmas. As the day goes, I’ll be adding new, generation 1 norns to keep the population stable and diverse. I’ve taught them all their vocabulary using the Vocabulizer but won’t be using it to teach subsequent generations of norns.
Roughly an hour after I unleashed these little ones, I found a death notification on the hud.
Adalwin was the first to die. As I wasn’t around (doing laundry, showering, tending to my dogs, etc.) I have no idea what did him in. Eggonicer did its job and quickly replaced him with Ayahiko, another Bengal Boy.
Before long, there was a pregnancy indication! Albuin would father Andorea’s new baby. She laid her egg and the Eggonicer quickly whisked it away to deploy when another norn passed away.
Speaking of norns, I decided to hatch a new norn. I decided on a male FairyFloss norn that the autonamer named Asaichirou.
By now, Andorea and Albuin were separated from the others by the low roof of the temple. Some quick fixes with room edit fixed the problem and I was off to my day again.
Most tragic was the death of Abigail. I’m sad to see her go though I know her suffering has finally come to an end. She has no eggs to call her own. She spent her last minutes alive with her father, eating Parsnips at the bottom level of the island. At the time, the observation kit paused (I wish it wouldn’t do that) so I carted him away to give him some space and food. Without him, Abi was free to eat the last of the parsnips, but it was too late. Godfried is the one who watched her take her last breath. I hate to have siblings witness each other’s deaths because it always seems so tragic.
Sadly, their little girl had just the problem that I suspected she would. Because Hunger Decrease didn’t actually decrease her hunger (boredom instead) she was in a state of constant hunger. She grew up quickly and it looked like she’d entered adolescence at only 15 minutes old! I fear the stress of always feeling hunger was affecting her aging. I’m going to have to keep her from breeding, sadly. The last thing I want is a population of norns that are always miserable, and I hope you agree.
The whole family got together after AppleJack laid her third egg. The only norn missing from this picture is Patrick. With both of the ladies smacking away his advances, he busied himself in the tree, carrying a ball with him.
Off to the hatchery! I decided to choose a lady this time to increase the odds of new eggs. We can hope it works out that way. I don’t want Abigail breeding, anyway.
Hooray! Due to my own negligence, their second egg hatched. I couldn’t pick it up since it was still growing and got distracted again.
When I was done checking on him, it was time to teach him the basics. I tended to his education and, when his father finally left him alone, I fed him some carrots and I got him to sleep. He got to sleep much more quickly than his parents did, that’s certain.
