Huge thank you to grendelman for supplying the two genetically modified norns. Between them and the Beowulfs, things have been going exactly as I wanted. I'm currently hatching gen 328 one by one (42 eggs oh boy), sticking the babies in with a C1 grendel to see how they react, and selecting the ones that react the way I want for breeding. The majority of them aren't even angry, they just think it's great fun to slap the heck out of grendels, which is exactly what I wanted. I think constant anger is too big of a stressor, so I wanted norns who just instinctively beat on grendels. A few have a temper and/or won't hit unless the grendel hits them. They seem pretty self sufficient so far too. I think I might go to gen 330 and then run the offspring through a number of tests. I'll put the winners up here for anyone who cares to give them a download. |

The good news: A grendel lasts less than a minute in a group of these guys. They don't seem to actively move to the grendel terrarium in search of grendels, but god help a grendel that dares step foot into the norn terrarium. The bad news: Ettin's are also in danger. They're perfectly friendly to each other, though. |

Gen 330, I'm nowhere near that patient :B. I guess you can leave them overnight but I'm concerned about my population dieing out completely or one of my agents throwing an error and the game stopping to ask you what to do with the offending agent. I guess I can use autokill, but I'm concerned it might remove something it shouldn't. |

I have autokill on and I've personally never had an issue. I started off by hatching one male and one female of each CFE breed and spreading them around the metarooms. For most of the generations, they were left alone for hours at a time in a world with plenty of food and toys, no bacteria, no grendels or ettins, and the water and high drops blocked off. I really just wanted self sufficient norns, and since norns that aren't CFF have like zero instinct to avoid drops or water I blocked those off. And that darn ATP decoupler made me remove the bacteria. Norns also have a pretty poor fight or flight response, so no grendels. Right now I'm breeding in the newest CFF genes and selective breeding for norns who will attack grendels on sight. Once I'm sure that the CFF genes have been bred in sufficiently, I'm going to put them through an IQ test and a wolfling run to see if they are capable of looking for food and toys when they aren't highly available. I'll also have the grendels in the wolfing run... if I was successful with breeding for grendel aggressive norns, that shouldn't be a problem. I'm... already past gen 330. We'll see where this stops I guess! |
