Eggs Suspended in Underwater Time

Frozen in Artemia SeaWhile I was in the midst of making decisions about the aquatic Norn breeds to use in my new Docking Station world, I encountered a rather strange issue! I wrote about how to make Creatures egg hatch underwater, which included a fix for all species. As I was testing out another breed, I discovered that all of my Grendel eggs refused to grow underwater. Oddly enough, any from Muco that had already begun to grow hatched underwater. Yet any natural ones were stuck. Ignore the larger one pictured: That was placed on land to ensure that it would grow somewhere else! It was only underwater that posed a problem.

Hoping for a Fix in Creatures Docking StationThe Grendel breed in question were the Artemia Grendels, who fit right in with Artemia Sea! The poor father-to-be was very upset over his brood’s lack of growth. I checked and re-checked my DS creatureBreeding.cos file, which was set up properly. The Norn eggs had no trouble underwater. Perhaps it had to do with the usual Creatures 3 creatureBreeding.cos file, which I hadn’t touched or even thought of. In that case, the scripts were slightly different… But probably worth a try! If anyone has any other ideas about what might be going on, feel free to share! I would love to utilize these Grendels in some way, as they add a good deal of interest to the world. Artemia Grendels can also coexist with Norns, unlike another member of this upcoming world…
