Question 1

My login is timing out on the 'crashed spaceship' boot scene

Accepted Answer

This happens when the game and server aren't reaching each other.

It can be caused by a multitude of reasons, either something local on your end, something on our end, or anything in the internet tubes in between us.

Check:
1) That you have an active internet connection.
2) Whether the game servers are online.

3) Whether anyone else can access the game

N.B. If other people can access the game, but you can't, then this can be caused by:
- A specific internet router dropout somewhere between us.
*Internet traffic routing hardware goes down occasionally.
*Not all traffic goes via the same routes and routers. So you might be getting some traffic through, and not others.
- A local government authority could be blocking, or limiting traffic, through specific routers.

In these cases, you can try using a VPN, if you have one, to see if routing the traffic through other servers unblocks the issue for you.

Question 2

I placed some gems in my village, and now they're gone!

Accepted Answer

Gems are consumable items, and when they're placed in your village, they give your lovely creatures a healthy dose of love and care - Because Wonderman Nation creatures like sparkly things!

When these gems give off their love and care, it also consumes them.
To see how many days worth of health a gem has, you can check the item inspector for your gem, and take a look at its 'Health' stat.

Question 3

Breeding creatures doesn't seem to be deterministic

Accepted Answer

That's correct, breeding creatures isn't deterministic.

We use a random selection of DNA from both of the creatures being bred to determine their Stats, and their body parts.

The only thing that is deterministic within breeding is that the body parts that are selected will determine the movement, items and abilities that a creature can do, or use, as you need arms to hold a weapon, legs to walk, wings to fly, a stinger to sting, etc.

Particular combinations of body parts unlock certain abilities as well. i.e. You need a stinger to sting, but you need wings+stinger to do a flying sting attack.
