Whenever I go on adoption pages on other sites in the creatures community they seem to emphasize that the creature up for adoption is of the first generation. I've never got why this is so important, do they live longer or something because a gen 1 or a gen 64 creature still is important. Or is it because whatever genes the creature has will be at a purer state than the genes of a creature 2 generations down the line? |

If they are gengeneered creatures or based on gengeneered genomes, then Gen1 creatures will feature all the attributes that they were made to have. Beyond that, it's easier to get gen1 creatures from the egg layer or hatchery than to get gen48000 creatures. So people are more likely to have low gen creatures to share. I personally haven't seen any sort of emphasis on gen1 creatures, but if I adopt any creatures then they are usually from the TRC and they aren't usually gen1. Lost Content, help find it a home! |

I thought you meant how big is the file. Because for some reason the .gen files are always bigger. Lol. Anyway, I think it's just to let people know they don't have any mutations. |

Yeah that's kinda odd because if anything, the later the generation, "the better" because the later the generation, the more expansive the gene pool gets. Cute pixel art DeviantArt Account |

Maybe they feel the need to warn people, then, so they won't be disappointed?  |

On my runs I like to start from the beginning and know exactly what generation they are. A G1 and a G853 are going to produce a G854 -- globally, that'd be fine. However, I play alone (no other way to do so), and so technically that G854 is a G2 for me; I'd rather it be marked as such. Don't care; I'm a bear. |

Gen 1 norns won't have any nasty mutations lurking unknown in their genome, either. 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. |

I find gen-1 creatures rather pointless unless they are gengineered because they would just be the same as hatching a creature of the same breed. If the creature on adoption is older then you can just use CAOS to age the hatched creature up. The only thing that makes them worth adopting is the minutes and hours of their lives they have managed to log. |

I think the only time getting a generation 1 creature is important is if it is from a breed which doesn't have a downloadable .agents or .gen file, making that generation 1 creature the only way to get a pure version of the breed. Personally, if I am going to adopt a creature, I prefer it to be from a high numbered generation. More mutations makes it more interesting. ![[nwink]](/images/smilies/emot_wink.gif "[nwink]")  Exploring the Ark A journal for C3/DS - updated last: 5 May 2013 |
