Certainly you have got the hang of the local nonsense lingo!

ETA: well, boo. Every time I try to change the first growth rate, the game resets it to zero. :cry:
Any joys yet?

Nope. I started up a new game and tried everything, to no avail. I suspect that the trumble stuff in the save file is just a snapshot of its behaviour at the instant of save, but that changes in behaviour are hard coded in the game. I did my usual hundred-odd jumps with one trumble and a cargo hold full of food but it never reproduced. Bbqd it in the end. :cry:

It was probably too aged to reproduce any more.

You probably did your single solitary Trumble a great service by putting it out of its misery... bouncing around your cockpit all alone in a state of demoralised depression, nibbling unenthusiastically at your cargo without any hope of a future as head of its own clan, peering myopically out of your viewscreens with no destiny to look forwards to...

Welcome Brassmonkeys! Super happy Oolite has been giving you so much enjoyment. Feel free to ask anything. About Oolite, obviously. Probably can't answer *every* question.

Welcome indeed. Glad you're enjoying it.

Don't let the occasional 'grumble' here put you off, it's mostly folks just trying to squeeze a little more out of a game they already love :)
