Oh dear. It seems that when Exodus bugged up and crashed my computer some things got… Corrupted. Sadly, this means that I’ll have to start over the old world I was working on with my trade creatures.
That said, I still have backups of them all as babies, so it’s not exactly the end of the (game) world.
I’ll not be investigating the rest of their genetics because I’m actually a little winded but I wanted to make sure you all had some sort of update anyway. Anyway!
Here are the little ones! I’d like to get caught up a bit so I’ve instantly taught them their vocabulary using “enum 4 0 0 vocb next”. No, I didn’t even have the patience to look for a vocabulary infusing agent, heh. Anyway, to get them all caught up to each other, I injected Norn Statistics and made a note of their ages.
With Percy at 20 minutes old, he was the oldest. Susan, at 3, was easily the youngest so I decided to take some time to raise her til she was about 5 minutes old, the same age as the next girl in the line. I repeated this process until all of the babies had reached about the same age. The wait for the girls to reach the same age as the boys was a bit longer, but I thought it would be worth it for them all to be about the same age, rather than spread out as they were.
To give myself an extra challenge, I was playing with an agent that may or may not be released as of posting this. I’ll not spoil the surprise but suffice it to say that moving individuals was much less convenient now.
Once the little nornlings were all in place, I could relax a little and let them live normally.William did give me a little bit of a scare when he started marching towards the lake, but once he’d investigated the nest and satisfied his curiosity, he headed left again to join the others.
He seemed to insist on hanging around the lake but, just like before, the warm shores didn’t seem to heat up this poor, cold little guy. Maybe something could be done to make him more comfortable?
