Overview

Foxes are majestic and mysterious creatures deeply connected to the forest. They evolved a symbiosis with Blightrot through long exposure to Rainwater. Foxes are great are skilled scouts ( Forest) and feel comfortable cooperating with their own kind ( Cooperation). They are highly susceptible to starvation yet are immune to Hostility.

Their Starting Ability is to reveal the location of the closest Rainwater Geyser. Foxes have a base Resolve of 5, with a Break interval of 02:00 minutes. Their Resilience is listed as Low, and their Demand is at 15. With a Decadence level of 5 and a Hunger Tolerance of 3, Foxes are one of the first to starve and die. They are immune to Forest Hostility and make for a species favored by all Viceroys.

Consumption and Satisfaction

Like all species, Foxes need to fulfill Complex Needs to start generating Reputation. The more Complex Needs you fulfill, the higher their Resolve will go, up to a maximum of 50. With the exception of the Housing Needs, every need fulfilled grants an additional effect, like Porridge's increased double production chance.
