Royalty Challenge (updated version)
By fnzombies
A challenge to try for the game. You need to have 2 creatures, one male and one female. The male has all gems yellow except for the middle one which is blue and the female has all gems yellow. Make them both alphas. The male should be named "(original name), the King" and the female is the same but with "the Queen" instead. So if your creature's name is Dakada, their name would be "Dakada, the King" or "Dakada, the Queen". The King and Queen can only mate with each other. Choose another creature of the same gender and make their left gem yellow and their others blue. These creatures are the "heir" of the King and Queen. If the king or queen die, change the heir's gems to the same as the king or queen.

Chapter 1: The Rules
Every color of the gems shows what the creature's role is in your Royal Island. There are a lot of rules so I will list them in other chapters!
Chapter 2: What the Gem Colors Mean
Yellow gems represent the Royal Creatures, green gems represent Harvesters, red gems represent a risk of being banished, blue gems are neutral, pink gems are normal creatures' mating counts, and there are a lot of rules about each color, so each color will have its own chapter.
Green Gems: Harvesters
After collecting from plants 3 times, the left gem of the creature turns green, and they become a "Beginner Harvester". After 5, the middle one turns green and they are a "Normal Harvester", after 7 times the right one turns green and they become an "Expert Harvester", and after 10 the middle gem turns yellow. After it has the yellow gem, the creature is considered a "Master Harvester". Format: (creature's name), (rank) Harvester
Yellow Gems: Royalty
The starting male is called the King and its name is "(original name), the King". The starting female is the Queen. The King and Queen are alphas and can banish double-immunity, full-red-gem, or Rougeborn creatures. Choose one of the creatures of the same gender to be the King and Queen's "heir". While the King or Queen is still alive, you can choose what creature you want to be the heir. Once the King or Queen dies, however, the heir becomes the new King or Queen and cannot be changed until it dies. The King has a blue middle gem and the others are yellow. The Queen has completely yellow gems. Heirs have all blue gems except for the one on the left, which is yellow. The King and Queen can only mate with each other, and nobody else. Neither of them can have the Derp Snout, as it is a symbol of the rouge creatures, which they believe to be evil. If the firstborn is a male, you cannot let creatures with the Derp Snout into the tribe. You can only let them in if the firstborn is a female. If you accidentally breed the King/Queen with somebody other than each other, the one you bred with another has full orange gems and is now called "The Betrayer" and is banished, but only if the firstborn is a male. If it's a female, you can set them to full orange gem and banish them, or set them to full BLUE gem, and make the left gem pink. (By the way, the "left" gem is on YOUR left, not the creature's left.)
Red Gems: Risk of being Banished
If a creature mates with a rouge, their left gem turns red. After the second time, the middle one turns red, and after a third time, the right one turns red, and the creature is banished. If a creature is born with two immunity genes of the same type, all its gems turn red as they unlock them, and once it is full grown, it is banished. Rougeborns are creatures created by females mating with rouges. They are called "(its original name), the Forbidden", and it is banished as soon as possible. You can kill Banished creatures to forget they ever existed. Also try to kill any rouge males you see.
Pink Gems: Creature mating count
If two full-blue-gem creatures mate, both of their left gems turn pink. The second time means their middle ones turn pink, and once they mate a third time, their right ones turn pink and they are no longer allowed to mate. They will not be Banished, however. They just stay there until they die and are allowed to gather, kill prey, and battle any predators.
Blue Gems: Neutral
Blue gems are for no purpose. They are there for no reason, and are changed once the "slot" is filled by mating, gathering, or other reasons. (I know the base color of gems is green but blue works better for "neutral" that green)
Extra Info
Once a creature has a pink gem, it cannot become a Harvester or Heir. Same with green: their gems will NEVER turn pink once they have a green gem. The same goes for orange gems. If a creature is born with two immunity genes of the same type, banish it as soon as you can. Make ALL its gems orange so you don't confuse it for a wanderer the next time you see it. And finally, you must delete the save file if you run out of creatures of one gender (the King/Queen dies, and the Queen was your last female or the King was your last male) Oh and also it's over if the Queen accidentally mates with a rouge male.
