Sounds a bit like "In this topic, off topic"...

I already asked Rascii about that. he isn't absolutely sure about the why. The avatars don't need long to upload, everybody except the uploader can see them instantly.

I don't know what I see, your avatars are so pixelated. Try to upload it again.

I have a stupid question which already annoyed me a while: why the hell gets my bramboo always the same, ugly color? Anything between a soft pink, a light orange and grey...

Evolution ;) Like the rainbow sharklings, the bramboo inherits its fruit colour from its parent, with slight mutations. As most of the originals are usually extremely coloured, the colour becomes more middling over time, leading to a drab meso. Get the Growing Bramboo Vendor - it vends colourful, fertile, bramboo :)

@ agentrok: creepy atmosphere game, sometimes downright scary, not for the faint of heart, half poem. it stands for All Of Our Friends Are Dead

@ papriko: the same thing happens to me. i get a beautiful light cobalt color, plant it in the upper meso, then it chages to faint orange

Maybe there is a way to make the color more interesting? Malkin, I think I saw a quite old screenshot of you where 1 bramboo plant has different colored fruits. Was that coded or tinted via console?

That was a steady hand and a lot of typing XD I used the CAOS command line to make the rainbow bramboo.

Naw... But maybe we can put up the mutation rate and the mutation range!

I love bramboo, but it is irritating when they are all bland colored. I did get a bunch of different pretty colors once and I posted the picture here. :) If you get anywhere with the mutation rate, Papriko, please post or PM me because I would be very interested in bright, multi-colored bramboo.

Do you think it's ok when I use the Bramboo patch from virtualheaven as base when I say that I only changed the mutations and colors, but the fix itself is not from me?

I'm certain Vampess would be very happy if you based your bramboo mod on hers. :) Just give her the usual courtesy - say that you based it on Vampess's fix and give a link back to her site.

What causes grendels to steal eggs? Machines seem to emit a smell that ettins pick up on, but eggs don't that I can find.

EDIT: don't worry, I found it. Gene 432, instict-get eggs when bored, egg noun id is 29.
Still, how do they find eggs?

Probably in the same way as Norns find something to eat.

I am not sure, but it has probably something to do with the vision lobe. I always go wiiiide around the brain...

I've looked into the vision lobe, it has no child genes, but what it seems to be doing is checking a defined range and passing the contents to other lobes especially to smell and noun. I don't think this is necessary lobe, creatures generally navigate through smells, though it is still important.

Stupid Question: Would someone please explain to me the difference between population limit and breeding limit?

Population limit = total creatures
Breeding limit = total creatures plus eggs?

I thought that was what it was supposed to be.

Your population limit (total creatures) is higher than your breeding limit (total creatures naturally-hatched from eggs) to allow you to get creatures from the warp or import creatures. The breeding limit controls your egg backlog.

Stupid question: Has anyone ever thought of making a storage room in the space above the C3 hallway? I asked that on KoA once, everyone just said they never noticed that section.

I've never thought of it but it would definitely be handy. Heck you could practically fit a whole new terrarium up there [although it would be kinda low].

You know the new bridge atrium? How about a new engineering atrium.

Wup's idea makes me think of that blobby core room for DS. I've never seen C3, but I imagine the concept would be similar.

Or under the C3 camera screens would be also good. I never noticed free space above the hallway, but under the cameras is really a lot of space.

Why do the DS Cameras aways fly through the half ship after loading the world?

Yeah sometimes they go kind of crazy. It happens to me occasionally, too. It's a good thing that only happens before you have any Norns in the world...


Baby Norn finally hatches. He turns to the camera with a big grin. "Eem foo," he proclaims happily. Then--

*SMACK!*

Baby Norn now has a black eye.

I think sometimes they fly around because the creatures do "Push Gadget" on them.
What I meant is that they get a speed boost in the moment the loading screen turns to the normal game view.
