Species
In other threads its said, that there are 5 species to MAKE.
I have found just 3 - where to get the other 2? (IF its correct)

In Prime I have seen buffalo like creatures, which were NOT to make. As 4th general appearance of animals. 1 without making, 3 with making. Plus larvae, butterflies, fishes and frogs.
In Humble it seems to be the same.
But IF there are 5 makeable animals: how?

You need the traits placed into the Genetic Synthesizer
This is the guide I used.
https://planet-crafter.fandom.com/wiki/Genetic_Trait
https://planet-crafter.fandom.com/wiki/Animals
Once I had crafted a couple I would pet them every day to pick up a generic trait once I had six I sent out an animal rocket. By the time I had sent three they started to appear by themselves. Go check beaches and where your animals are.
Pet them then mix up their traits.
These are some I crafted,

Each species genetic trait has two ways of being obtained. I don't know the first for everyone by heart, but the second is the same for everyone. You can get it by petting an animal of the species. There are 5 herds of wild animals in the wild. Each corresponds to a different species

Ok, thx, in Prime I made it; how I get the species traits in Humble ... waiting?
Because; the beetles are not in the wild, and the ox, these I have to wait for.

Normally it's the same, nothing changes. You either have to deconstruct a specific larva in the DNA manipulator or get lucky by petting this species of animal in a herd. The coordinates of the 5 herds on Humble must be somewhere

Just keep petting the animals, whether wild or tame.

Contrary to what some have stated above, you CAN and DO get the genes for the missing species from other species. I've gotten both species 4 and 5 by petting species 1 or 2 or 3, many times over several games. Sometimes you will find them in procedural wrecks, as well.

You can also sometimes get the missing species genes from petting the wild species, but don't worry about which species you are petting, just keep petting whatever you can, and you will eventually get all the genes you need, whether species, mutations, colour patterns, what-have-you. Add them to the ones you get from the synthesizer or the wrecks, and you will have everything you need and then some...

Petting wild species, ok, if they appear ;)
But THX.

There's actually 6 species! the 6th one is a 6 legged deer beetle thing. No clue how i got the gene, probably from loot. You can find them in the glowy purple beach area.

I have not seen wild species 4 on Humble. Anyone know if there is a herd of them and where it's located? I'm just curious as I already have out several habs of created species 4. I've just never seen wild ones on Humble.

I didn't see a herd of species 4 on Humble or a herd of species 6 on Prime. It is possible that the gene can be obtained in another way (chest in wild or procedural wrecks maybe?)

I haven't seen wild species 4 on Humble (yet, at least), but I got a gene for them by petting my tame species two, and another one by petting a 'wild' species 5. Others here say they have seen a couple of wild herds of species 4 on Prime, it's in another fairly recent thread, I think? And they are reportedly fairly hard to find.

The wild herds of species six show up in both of the new genomes on Humble once you are at the level where animals in general start to appear. Haven't played Prime since species 6 was added to Humble, so not sure if they were added to Prime or not... yet, at least! -)

Thanks for the input. :) I have several habitats of Species 4 put out on Humble. Got the trait same way you did and petted my way to more. But still have not seen a wild herd. From what I read the wild Species 4 on Prime are in a cave somewhere.

I was disappointed that although you can buy the new Humble butterfly from the trade rocket on Prime (if you have a Humble save) it will not produce the Species 6 trait from the DNA extractor as it will on Humble. So at this point it seems like there is no Species 6 availability on Prime. Don't know if this is permanent.

Species 4 should appear on both worlds eventually. Species 6 is exclusively on Humble.

On Prime at least, species 4 apparently prefers some of those locations with permanently very low-light or nighttime conditions - including one very large and dark late-game cave in particular. As such they can be hard to spot visually, but their constant chirping and singing to each other (and their chirps/singing really carries for a surprisingly long distance in the dark) means if you carefully follow your ears you should eventually track them down.

You are very welcome! :-) I do love that gorgeous new butterfly but must admit that I was a little disappointed that all it gave was a gene for species 6, over and over - I was hoping for another colour to add to the collection too, lol! (Don't want much, do I? ;-P

It also made me a little nostalgic for the 'old days' while the game was still in development, and I puzzled over that a bit before I realized why... there was just more time to enjoy the changes more fully when the game was still under development. While we waited for the updates there was always time to really develop the world-as-was with what we currently had, and I did very much enjoy that part, really branching out all over the place and all...

These days the changes come hard and fast, and it can be a fair bit of work just trying to keep up with them. My latest Humble game is already almost at fish stage, and I have only a few flowers and just two trees out, and am quite a ways behind in building... but there's just no time...

So, maybe not quite as relaxing a game as it used to be- but it certainly does still keep me going... and going... and going... ( -hey! get that bunny outa here! ... =8-p :-D )

Aw, shucks.

I am really looking forward to finding them the next time I'm on Prime, and I will definitely be looking for them here on Get Down & Humble once things get a little more advanced.

I imagine that those buzzy little chirps do carry a good way, just one of them can be quite loud, so a group - and in a cave? - would be echo-ey at least, and I'll bet even disconcerting sometimes, trying to tell just where it's coming from... heeheehee :-D

You and I seem to be of the few that really enjoy the color variety in mammal building. Lol Waiting to see if the devs will fix that when they're back from vacay as I can't be the only one with that particular bug on Humble.

As for the nostalgia, I agree. Part of being in this game since very early development is that we got to really experience each stage and then wait patiently for the next. Getting to 5 TTi is like nothing. It's a whoosh. On Humble, once I was past the "holy crap am I gonna starve here" stage, I just took my time with things. On Alku (Prime) I have like 60 or so each heaters and drills. On Humble I have 9. With optimizers, it's all I needed. Everything is very scaled down compared to my first planet and yet I reached full terraformation some time ago. I can't stop the oxygen on Alku, so I've hit 2.15 PTi now. But I still enjoy the planet.

It is cool that you can have way less tree spreaders and butterfly farms, fish, etc and the planet makes its own. There are trees I didn't put there all over Humble. (Wish the flowers did that as well) So you don't need to decorate as much. But I'm just puttering around Humble, gathering furniture and effigies and posters from the portal, designing and placing mammals, making it purty cause I enjoy that. I think I'm at 33 TTi now. It's an irrelevant number at this point. I am really glad that the endings they came up with for this planet are SO much more upbeat than the ones for Prime.

Sorry for the off topic ramble, but I had to say that I totally get what you mean. :)
