prakaa: I tried docking station. Arethere machines that just give you the stuff in the full game, or ist there some sort of challenge in terms of gathering etc..?
Both. There are machines able to provide all kinds of food, but you might struggle to get your Norns to eat enough of each to have a healthy diet. Also, they may have genetic-based issues with some kinds of foods.
prakaa: Also, how do you teach them language? They seem to be getting it by themselves....
It's been mostly automated in Creatures 3/Docking Station, so you get to interact with your Norns more easily and without some of the problems of previous versions. IIRC, in Creatures 1, you have to teach them almost anything by example - it's very time consuming, but rewarding as well. I can understand why they changed it - there's so much more to do in Creatures 3 that keeping the old "teach language yourself" approach would probably be too much.
Not sure if there's any way around it, though. There might be.
