C3 List of Gadgets?

Found this game on GOG today, came down with a nasty bout of nostalgia, spent a few hours getting it to work with Win7. Now I'm back on the Ark to care for some Norns. And I want to do it WITH TECHNOLOGY.

Basically the help I'm looking for is what the title says. I've been looking for a few hours with little success on Google and through a few of the still running community sites. The Wiki dances around it a bit but I didn't find anything too useful beyond the more obvious gadgets.

Anyone know of a fairly complete list out there?

CU7 is a very good and complete list. Sparkleblue, the owner is still active and updates frequently.

I know it is in German, but it's still rather easy to use. The pictures are pretty helpful in this point.
And by many agents an English description is provided too.

When you are looking for something with a specific function, then you can try The COB Detectives alternatively.

It really depends on what you're looking for - Creatures Heaven has some pretty essential fixes, but I couldn't call all of them 'gadgets', really... Naturing :: Nuturing has some pretty neat stuff as well.

You might like to start out with the tools section here and SeeYou7.net's Where's The Agent? list.

I hope this gets you started in your quest to care for norns WITH TECHNOLOGY. :)

I appreciate the responses :)

The custom agents are cool, but I was particularly interested in the gadgets you start with on The Ark.

There's quite a few that seem to do with handling input and output, but what combination or ports you need to use I'm having trouble figuring out. (For example, the radio parts in the Norn Home. It seems like you would tune them to the same channel, add an input and an output, and you have a remotely activated device right? Doesn't seem to be the case...)

I'm going to continue playing with them today. Maybe if there is no such list I might try and get something setup sometime.

You mean a good, solid, description of the 'gadget'-classed agents on the C3 Ark?

You might want to check out Mirality Systems - the connective DS agents pack will allow you to inject the C3 gadgets into DS.

Iggdrasil has some blueprints for gadget setups.

You'll very likely want to get the Perpetual Teacups to distract your ettins from your gadget-making experiments.

If you've been away for a while, you might like to check out Gameware's Docking Station Downloads and Creatures 3 Downloads for more breeds and items. (just ignore the updates, the GOG version is fully updated.)

The new creatures link certainly was handy, thanks for that!

Unfortunately I still haven't found what I'm looking for.

I did find the machine which allows me to create more gadgets, and even better it lists their names!

Unfortunately, I also noticed that the machine seems to be missing a number of gadgets, mostly medical or logic.

I haven't been able to get DS to work for me (still working on that bit).

So far all I've found up till now are lists of custom agents by users. No luck on a list and/or description of the original gadgets found within the game.

To be clear, when I refer to gadgets, I am trying to differentiate between the agents users create, and the agents which come included with the game on install.

These would be things like the sludge gun, health monitor, lights, creature sensor, smell emitter/detector and the like.

I'm interested in the function and use of the more 'mysterious' gadgets, such as the output gadget found below the medical bay, and the disc gadget found by the potion vendor.

Have you tried using F1 (or clicking on the question mark near the norn's head in the top left of your screen) and right-clicking on the agent in question to access the catalogue file (agent help) for that gadget?

You may also want to investigate the Replicator.
