General Forum Docking Station Tips    lisha777      7/1/2012 I need some tips on how to look after and play with norns on docking station. Im kinda new to creature games. I also would like to know what there is to do on the ship. Thank you ‘All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.’ – Gandalf the Grey   Lodestar Doringo     7/1/2012 Are you using docking station + creatures 3 or just docking station alone? The likely case is that you just only have docking station so I'll give you a tip. Always start with one male norn and one female norn for them to breed also you can teach your norns language using the "mysterious blueish device" aka Holistic learning machine in the lower right of the meso/starting room.   Nornynorn   7/1/2012 lol i have some great tips first press ctrl shift then e.(food pours out from the hand.) second download a few interesting breeds and third make sure you feed your norns otherwise they DIE. and now what to do on the starship if you have creatures 3 you have a bigger world to play in but if it is just ds standalone there are still great things to do. also i reccomend if you want more rooms to get them from the creaturescaves metaroom downloads always great stuff there! and try the c3/ds cob or agents whatever you like to call them. (lol) and also adopt a few interesting norns from the adoptions area well hope this helps!   Prodigal Sock Ghosthande     7/1/2012 It's actually very hard for Norns to starve to death. Unrealistically hard, some might say. You're better off keeping them out of the Warp room, however, since it has bacteria in it. I usually hide the small carryable teleporters so they can't teleport in and infect themselves. I would recommend starting out with the CFE Norns which look alike but are much smarter and all around better than the Norns that come with DS.   Ettina   7/2/2012 How to communicate with norns: First, you can reward norns by tickling and slap them to punish them. Do this immediately after behavior you want to increase or decrease - for example if a norn who was refusing to eat finally eats, tickle them. To tickle, hover your mouse over their head until you see an angel face, then click. To slap, hover over their butt until you see a devil face and then click. You can also talk to your norns by typing stuff in, but be aware they have a simple vocabulary and they must be educated to understand you. Look at the kinds of things they say, try to phrase your commands the same way. The most basic would be 'verb noun'. The noun for an object can be found out by pressing the question mark and then clicking on the object (which will also teach any nearby norns its' name if you do it enough). The verbs are: push - basic activate, 'push norn' means trying to mate with them. pull - another activate, mostly just used for toys and elevators (push and pull are up and down, but I can never remember which is which). eat - pretty self-explanatory. right - move to the right. left - move to the left. quiesce - sit and do nothing. rest - try to fall asleep. look - sit and stare at something. retreat - move away from something. express - say how you are feeling ('eem intensely lonely'). You can tell the focus of attention for your selected creature by the little green arrow above an object (the red one marks your selected creature). Lastly, norns' emotions, called drives, can be a bit odd. Most are self-explanatory, but here are some you might find confusing: Friendly - means they want to mate. Hungry for fat/starch/protein - they don't just get hungry, they get hungry for specific nutrients. For the standard genome, fat is food, starch is seeds and protein is fruit. high up/low down - the norn has smelt something it wants on another level and wants to travel to it. ill - this isn't actually a drive, it's something the game forces them to say. It means they've gotten sick, either an infection or eaten something gross (eg rotten food, which is called 'detritus'). By the way, I don't care if anyone steals my ideas for their own work, as long as you don't try to stop me from making my own stuff. Many ideas I mention are things I don't have the time or skill to actually do.
