Resetting My World

I've just got my new Creatures 1 game from e-bay and a few CObs to get me started. eg: Grendel Guard.
When i opened the hatchery i only found 3 eggs! (from what i remember playing it when i was little there are supposed to be 6).
I hatched all three and found a new species of norn that i dont remember. I'm almost sure it is a custom one from the internet that maybe came through when i installed my cobs?
Anyway, once i'd hatched all three eggs, the original 6 appeared in the original species. (I hacthed all of them to check).
So now my question is this. How do i reset my game so i can start from the beginning and i know not to hatch 9 norns at a time!
I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the whole game. Is there a certain folder with all the saved game data i can delete. Please help.
Everything on my game is working fine now and I want to start again now that i know that it's working!

Thanks in advance

Edit: Anyone...please?
My norn has laid an egg and is pregnant again but none of them can hatch until the population goes down. If i export her and reset the world, they''ll hatch right...?

So you've got 12 norns, plenty of eggs lying around, and you want them to hatch so you can meet the babies? if you reset the world, you'll lose your eggs laid in game - you'll only have your hatchery six.

I've only just started playing C1 again, after a long hiatus, so my knowledge is a bit rusty Rura-chan, but I'll give it a stab. :)

I'm sure if you export all your Norns first, (select the Norn, then go to File -> Export current creature, then save it somewhere where you can easily find it again, like your Desktop, and then click Save) you should be able to then reset your world without losing any of your Norns. It's just a case then of importing the Norns you exported afterwards. :) I'm not sure if there's any complications with exporting pregnant Norns though, I can't remember.

Failing that, send Don a message, she should know.

how are your eggs unable to hatch? do you have twelve norns, or are they stuck not fully grown?

You can reset your game using the Emergency Kit.

Go to the Start bar, click Programs -> Creatures -> Emergency Kit (or if you're playing The Albian Years version, the Emergency Kit is renamed 'Backup' and can be found in the main Creatures 1 directory: Creatures Albian Years -> Creatures 1).

You will then see a dialogue box which asks you to ensure that Creatures is no longer running, click OK. You should now see the Emergency Kit, click the button which says, New World. You can now restart Creatures and your world should be afresh.

If I recall correctly, the incubator closes at 8 norns - if you export a few more norns it should reopen and you can then use the incubator to hatch more eggs. There is no way to export or import eggs in C1 (although the Genetics Kit injects genomes as eggs).

No problem (my friends call me Laura, Rura. ;)) is everything working as it should be now?

What do you mean by "end this forum"?

Don't worry about "ending" this topic - just leave it to rest, it'll be okay like that. :)
