I thought the most recent patch-notes said that they added an explanation for the Essence-tiers? I haven't actually played the current version so I can't tell.

Anyways, for Foxen essence 1, you only have to breed a Foxen with anything that has a D-or-higher in Apt. Breeding with another species just makes the chances of the offspring being Foxen 50%

Once you get one, if the system is the same as before, you can just turn it in.

Also, if you have already bought a Hybrid Hut, (or whetever it was called) some pairings will have a chance of being hybrid-species which... I can't remember if they count.

Either way, the essence-difference was pretty slight the last time I played, so decide for yourself if pursuing it is the most fun thing for you.
Thanks for your answer.

The thing is I don't have anything that has D in Apt. Is there a way to upgrade the letter for each trait ? Cause i've been trying to upgrade the letter (breeding 2 sames race with E in apt) but couldn't.

I've never seen neither foxen nor Vulwarg or Risu having D in apt.

Also, how can I upgrade letters for the 3 traits for the Breeder ?

I used the wiki as a guide, it helped out a lot :)

This place automatically applies the abandoned tagged after a couple of months without an update.
Am aware, in fact 8 months is the usual cutoff point, but the tag applies only if official updates or activity of the developer cease in relation to the game. I'm asking if anyone who follows the development more closely can give details, because there hasn't been any significant update in relation to game mechanics since the essence update, and I don't follow the development close enough to see anything beyond the updates on here.

It's quite common that a game is effectively abandoned via irrelevant updates or developer posting on their Patreon or whatever in relation to the game, but the tag doesn't apply yet. So I want to know if this is one of those cases, because it would be a shame to see BOTN flop after becoming quite a remarkable game.

Hello! I am playing this game at the same time as you (roughly) and more or less at the same stage in the game!
Like the wiki says, Orcs have D or C aptitude, so you could get some orcs from the wild, also the Formurian (sharks)!
To turn them in, you have to go over to the emissary.

Hope this helps :)

Thanks guys, I appreciate your help.

Gotta find the Orcs and the Sharks then, I've just discovered the Titans

Can't remember how to catch males as a male character
You have to obtain fluids (milk and sperm) either by milking the caught nephs or purchasing from Camilla and Amber-Mae.
Then you can give appropriate fluids to wild nephelym (make sure you have the list of their preferences which can be found in the wiki). If there's a message that the neph "wants more", you catch it; otherwise it's wrong fluid.

incest patcher nor making a imma.degenerate file are working
Most likely, you have created a file named imma.degenerate.txt instead of imma.degenerate (check the file extension properly!) or placed it in the wrong folder.

I enjoy the easy going vibe the game has.
While I do enjoy a good bit of post hole digging and building fencing, I do like to relax with a game no0w and then.
Sometimes I like to go wild and shoot with a pew-pew spray 'n' pray.
Maybe I want to build a city.

But what I really like to do is relax.
BotN provokes no real aggression or stress, unless one counts the grind. Even then it's pleasant. Not meant to be hard, and I don't believe "difficulty" is really something that is associated with this title.
Well...

I do want to dissect what I just said there about difficulty. No, there are no 'Timed Hits,' or, 'Relex modes'. In this case it's mostly an RNG thing you have to try and push around, manipulate.
So, RNG...it's "Difficult" to win the Lottery, but it's easy to play.

The game was even better for relaxing. You just make sure 3 out of 5 stats were higher and you catch the nep. But these new systems pretty much killed the game for me. I don't want to leave my progression in the hands of RNG (more than I have to at least), I don't want to breed for hours on end until I get the right combination of traits to upgrade. There wasn't much to the previous version of the game but it was enough for a quick jump in. Breed some offspring, raise lvl, catch new neps and then finish for the day.

To catch males as a male, you have to offer the nephs fluids. They typically take milk.

I've found bunnies in the Lustwood that had Cs. Probably a good way to start.

Yeah, so, I don't have a good point of reference. I played the build you are talking about, but I never progressed further than Lustwood.
I did take the key from the centaur at some point, but I didn't have much desire to go on.
And I find that odd. Even for me.
The Vulpen, Vulwargs, Rie-ri...Ah..Bunnies, I got them all to level 5, The area was as complete as it was going to be.
I think I was mostly content with what little I had, the three critter types.
And one singular, lonely sex pose.

I was just having fun breeding, I guess. Maybe I like to look at all the little things, and take my time before moving on. Perhaps I was more afraid of what I would find beyond the gates. If my expectations were not met, would I be devastated? Knowing a possibility that the outcome of the game may be a flop, would my will to play ebb?

My desires are self contradictory, and cannot be trusted.

But if you say it's gotten worse, I've really got nothing else to go on.

Yeah the game can be quite good with cheats but you're right about it being better before. At least to play the "legit"/uncheaty way. You could have a nice time without relying on cheats, you still can but its quite dumb that now to have the same fun youre pretty much required to cheat otherwise game is a brick tedious.

But that induces a bunch of odd situations like half of the characters interactions making no sense or point or having stuff unlocked that maybe you didnt wanted to that quickly that the whole feding Fern process

how can i use the cheats ?, i am trying to press ` key and its not working
in the game you now must click on : `
on the main keyboard, not keypad.

the : ` key, below the ESC key

ie the key to the left of : 1
ie above the TAB key
don't use shift when pressing
