Round Ears

Can someone who has actually gotten these and unlocked them in the mutation menu please post a picture and explain how you did it? I want these so bad but they are impossible to get or am I just really unlucky?

What Fuzzy said, those creatures are the only ones in the game with the Round Ears as a recessive trait. You'll have to breed a few creatures together to get Round Ears to show, or mutate them onto creatures with Big Ears - Round Ears is more dominant than it.

It used to be that you could very rarely get wanderers with Round Ears as a recessive, but I don't know if that's still in the game with how it's part of Home Island now.

That is on one of the older versions, where, as Fortuna said, you could still fine wanderers with recessive round ears. I believe now they are exclusive for Adams family though.

This is very difficult :c

So I will never be able to unlock these in sandbox mode. That is kind of a bummer they need to patch the game with a fix so that you can get them in both modes.

Yes, this really is a problem.
Maybe we need to label that the gene can only be unlocked in story mode when you mouse over the locked gene?

That would help. Its current mouseover implies you can get it anywhere.

Likewise, I think the bearyana mouseovers need redoing too. It's very unlikely you're going to "invite them" into your tribe when you have to breed it in lol. Maybe "Breed/Invite an animal with this gene into your tribe" or something? That's a bit long, though. Hm...

Maybe "Breed this gene into your tribe"? That gives a hint that you have to find it somehow, and tells you you need to breed a bunch to get it to show :|a

Actually guys, Just go to sandbox mode, go to Adams Home Island, Die on there then you should have a recessive round ear trait, it's not gonna work all the time. Summed up: Go extinct on Adams home island on sandbox. Once with new starters, check recessive ear traits. If you don't have them repeat step one.
