Feral & Wolfling Runs


 

Wolfling Norns

Abandoned, minimum preparation of world and later interference.
This technique is tougher on your norns than a feral run, often leaving no results, but when it works it produces tough norns.

Wolflings are lost or abandoned children raised by wolves, the term originated in India.

 

Feral Norns

Original norns trained, many cobs installed, abandon like wolflings with only minor interference.
This technique tends to produce better results but less tough norns.

The term comes from when domesticated animal, such as cats,
which revert to semi-wildness when left to their own devices, especially for several generations.

 

 

Ten Recommended cobs

Food: Carrot Variety Pack, Underground Mushrooms and Island Food.

Room joiners: Passageways 1 & 2 & The Roofgarden v3

Better mover: Teleporters.

Teaching cob: Encomputer Nornica v2

Extra hazards: Cave FliesMacro Gregoid and Wasps

 

Ten Recommended Genetic Breeds

Feliz, YinYang v2, Survivor, Dalai Lama, HippyPolite, ChoiceMommy & Daddy, Desert, Perfecio

 

Ten Recommended Sprite Breeds

Banana, Fox, Brunette, Blond v2, PMN, Forest, Transgender, Snow, Wood, Cheri

 Banana and Fox come with the game, PMN and Forest are from Cyberlife

 

Other things to try include:

  • Using another world
  • Adding genetic or sprite breeds
  • Genetic engineering
  • More cobs!
  • Leaving the computer on overnight
    (with peripherals turned off to save energy)
  • Running multiple worlds at once using BORG
  • Adding or using other species
  •  

    Some of my Feral and Wolfling Runs:

    Note that I often keep my world running in the background when I'm home, or when I'm out for a short time, so many of my own norns come from feral/wolfling runs.
    That said, I've run quite a few runs on several computers over the years in separate populations.

     

     

     Nualbian Run

    Starting On this day I ran a wolfling run for three days, in my world Zeruko back when I still called it by it's codename Nualbia.

    I used Choices, Desert, Dracula, Grelloran, Hippy, Plant, Starlite and Survivor norn breeds.
