A Fox

Overview

Foxes are majestic and mysterious creatures deeply bonded with the forest. They evolved a symbiosis with Blightrot through long exposure to Rainwater, which caused some visible side-effects. Foxes are great at working with the Forest and feel comfortable working in buildings infected with Blightrot.

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.

Proficiency & Comfort

Foxes' Proficiency specialization is Forest. It grants Foxes +5% Glade Event working speed bonus when working on Glade Events.

Foxes' Comfort specialization is Blightrot. It grants Foxes 5 Resolve when working in the buildings infected with Blightrot.

Fox-specific buildings

These buildings appear as Reputation rewards only when Foxes are on the map. They can still spawn as Ruins.
