General Forum Magma dispair    Frick      6/27/2013 So I'm trying to breed some CFE magmas, and I thought to make for an interesting existence I could have them born in the starship learning room, then migrate to the desert over the course of their life. So I've got Clucky's advanced egg finder in the learning room, and wired up the terrarium teleporter to automatically teleport to the desert. Next to the teleporter I've got two smell emitters emitting maximum heat and ettin home scent in an effort to lure the magmas up. Do the magmas consider the desert their home? In any case they all get ill and die out so easilly in the terrarium, but I don't want to manually transport them because I want them to do it independently. I know it's idealistic of me to expect it to work as norns are ultimately idiots and chance plays a big part, but I'm breeding them on a large scale so the idea would be that a few of them would make it. Plus I've got other breeds that I want to stay in the terrarium - bruins and treehuggers - so it's not like I can set the egg finder up in the desert. So my question is, does anyone have any particularly smart magmas I can breed from? Or just magmas who follow scentons more readilly. Or has anyone got any ideas that could help me deliniate magmas from the 'stay-at-home' norns in this way?   Malkin Manager     6/27/2013  2 You're trying to get them to navigate too early in their lives - they don't develop their full navigation system until childhood. Their noses, for instance, are blocked until childhood. My TCR Norns   Frick   6/27/2013 that's good to know, although generally they stay in the learning room until they're adolescence anyway, but then they just go out, get lost and die of a cold :/   Feddlefew   6/27/2013 Is it possible that their coldness drive is drowning out their other drives, and preventing them from finding food?   Malkin Manager     6/27/2013 And don't forget - coldness has an involuntary 'shiver' reaction, which can stop creatures in their tracks. My TCR Norns   Feddlefew   6/27/2013 I've had hardman derived breeds fail IQ tests because they were too angry to find food.
