After a very long, tiring, arduous day, I could barely lift my arms to use the computer. Naturally, I decided to take this time to raise my arms to use the computer.
I have a new goal for this world to keep the generations 1, from getting too out of hand and 2, giving me a goal to look forward to instead of just playing whenever I find the time and don’t feel like playing the other two games.
This time, I’m planning on making it to generation 5. Whenever I finish out a generation, I’m only planning on getting two of the offspring, a male and a female, to play with for the next round. All the others are being sent to The Creatures Repository and Creature Caves.
This precious blue egg contains our new world’s first norn. A baby boy norn!
Once he hatched, I decided that his name should be Tanner, and I opened up his genetics.
Tanner – 2ILD
Good Bad Neutral
***** RECEPTORS *****
46 Original Genome 3 0 Emb B MutDupCut Creature, Drive Levels Hunger, chem=Hunger, thresh=0, nom=0, gain=255, features=Analogue
46 Different in File 2 3 0 Emb B MutDupCut Creature, Drive Levels Hunger, chem=Hunger, thresh=0, nom=0, gain=254, features=Analogue
This slight decrease in gain means that the Hunger Drive should accumulate less quickly as Hunger increases. It’s nice that he doesn’t get so hungry so quickly, but it’s still a very minor mutation. If gain were much lower or the gene were removed, I’d be concerned since it would mean he didn’t experience hunger at all.
I only classify this as neutral because the change is so minor.
***** HALF-LIVES *****
1 Original Genome 1 0 Emb B MutDup WakeUpPill 255 <142> 255
1 Different in File 2 1 0 Emb B MutDup WakeUpPill 251 <142> 253
This gene controls decay rates for chemicals in a creature’s body. Listed as neutral because the half-lives are so long anyway that the creature will hardly know the difference. If anything, this just gives WakeUpPill and Chemical 142 a very, very slight chance of decaying before it reacts in the body in the first place. I never use Wake Up Pills (too busy getting creatures to sleep) and 142 is unused. This also makes it pretty neutral to me.

Naturally, there is a whole slew of pigment mutations. Click above to see them all.
He was fed some cheese and was soon taught all I could teach him using the computer. Mom, toy and food were all learned and soon would come his life lessons. Good luck, Tanner!
Valerie and Tanner started to make their way around the world, Tanner staying close to hoe and Valerie trying to circumnavigate the world.
This time, instead of Antigen 2, he was sick with Antigen 5. Thankfully, I was able to teach him to push the Strained Carrots machine to get food. Smart boy!
Valerie was off, exploring the world and before I knew it, she had made it to the tree. She managed to take the lift down to the death cap mushrooms but I quickly scooped her up and fed her carrots instead.
When I realized that the ‘weed’ didn’t have any ill effect, I looked up a table of plant effects and found that the plant was, in fact, very good for her! Oops.
Finally, at 24 minutes old, she was ready to have Tanner join her. Actually, by now, she’d learned more about the world than Tanner because he spent most of his life sick and being tended to. I wasn’t too worried, though. These things have a way of working themselves out.
