Just got into Creatuers again (since 5 years), and I'm happily suprised there's still an ongoing commmunity! So I used to play just for fun, never really considering things like genetics and types of diseases or things like that, but now I want to bring out the full potential of the game by learning about these kinds of things, and even make my own breed.
So I was wondering to myself; is a norn capable of connecting agents to each other? or is that something that only the hand capable of? Cause if so, would it not be possible to breed a norn that is an expert in agents, like a "mechanic norn" breed. That's all I'd like to know
Unfortunately it isn't. Creatures can disconnect gadgets from one another by hitting them, but the connect function is unique to the hand.
But it may be best that way, since Norns can't even tell objects within a category apart from one another. So a Norn wouldn't be able to tell a signal counter from a not gate from any other kind of gadget. You'd end up with huge long connected machines that didn't really do anything, because the Norns were connecting gadgets at random.
Yeeah they can certainly take them apart but they can't very well put them together
And hey, welcome back to the community It's always encouraging to have more creatures players around to keep the community moving.
I'm pretty intrigued by all the technical stuff too; genetics and biochemistry and CAOS and the like. It's complicated but that's part of what makes it so addicting and fun.
