Download the Updated Creatures 1 Lemon
After another fairly short beta testing phase, the Creatures 1 garden is ready for another improvement! I spent quite some time learning some new CAOS to implement with the lemons, and it’s finally time for their release! Although these might not include such striking differences when compared with the C1 updated carrot, the lemons are now devoid of their original problems. Norns and Grendels should no longer be confused about interacting with and eating the lemons. The only downside to this update is the fact that this may have fixed the flying lemon glitch. What can you expect with the new lemons?
- Growth Cycle: A fully functional growth cycle simulates actual fruit growth
- Invisible Buds: Immature lemons are completely invisible and will not create confusion
- New Buds: Upon being eaten, lemons are replaced by brand new buds on the trellis
- Amount of Hunger Decrease: The level of hunger decrease is now 60, rather than the original amount of 50
- Amount of NFP Decrease: The level of NFP decrease is now 20, rather than the original amount of 10
- Amount of Starch: The level of starch is now 60, rather than the original amount of 50
- Amount of Pain Increase: Lemons no longer include any pain increase, which hindered learning how to eat
- Number of Lemons: There are now 6 lemons on the trellis, instead of the usual 5 lemons
- Dropped Lemons: Dropping lemons now includes a random variable so they can point left or right
- Lemon Leftovers: Lemons will now briefly turn into leftovers after being eaten, to simulate actual eating
- Sprite File: The download includes a new sprite file with improvements and new poses
- Growth Area: Lemons now grow in a more randomized manner to simulate real growth
Note that upon install, the lemons will grow quickly. All future buds will grow at the normal rate.

The lemons were the only other main source of confusion surrounding the food items. This improvement is highly recommended, if only to try out the new lemons! The growth cycle certainly turns the trellis into a much more beautiful spot in Albia, and creates an environment that looks a little more alive. The video I created to showcase the difference before and after the updates was slightly derailed by my two tester Norns, who were really quite stubborn! Getting babies to eat is challenging in itself, yet I’ve noticed much better eating habits over time with these new carrots and lemons. Grab this new download, and be sure to keep an eye out for more upcoming improvements for Creatures 1! Last but not least, special thanks to my lone beta tester, Chris!
Feel free to report any issues, or leave a comment noting how these lemons affected your Creatures 1 world!
It was an awfully nice coincidence that these got released on my birthday.
And I quite like them, too, although it took me a while to realize that only the initial buds grow that fast. :P
I completely forgot about your birthday, Grendel Man: I just remembered that it’s just before mine. Happy birthday! I hope you enjoy this release, even if it isn’t the most amazing thing ever.
Oh, I did forget to mention the speed of growth in the video! Whoops! The initial fast growth is just to make sure you won’t have to sit around and wait for a food supply to grow. I believe the normal amount of time for a lemon to grow is similar to the old time interval when a full-grown lemon just showed up out of nowhere.
I hope you had a wonderful birthday!
Wow, these look amazing! :) Congratulations!
Thanks, Malkin! It’s amazing what one can do with a few flower buds! I hope these liven up the C1 garden a little bit: It’s rather relaxing to watch these lemons grow over time, rather than pop up unexpectedly in the original version. Hurrah for another C1 food update!
