Description

This pack combines various fixes and improvements to desert agents, while also editing the agents to make them a bit more unique. All the agents have also been changed in mind for norn interaction, so if something is a critter or bug, a creature will be able to eat and smack it.

- Balloon Bugs can now die of old age, and you can also see their eggs floating in the sky.

- Cacbana fruit is now edible, and cacbanas will reveal this fruit at night for creatures to eat. They also should not fall into the water, and will wilt if nutrients in the soil get low.

- Desert grass was changed pretty minorly, but it's a bit better

- Ettin Seed bank has new sprites to clearly indicate what it makes, and anything it produces is now shot out of the volcano.

- Gnarlers are much less likely to die, and if desperate for food they'll lick nutrients right out of the soil.

- Meerks are now parthenogenic mammals, who will give birth underground to their young (baby meerks!) after a full (invisible)term, and the young meerks will rely on the adults for milk.

- Uglees now have a full life cycle, where they lay eggs in the spring, raise young in the summer, live as a family in the fall, and live in a pair in the winter, until they start the cycle all over again. Uglees with a brood will start hunting young meerks to supplement their young's diet.

-All these critters now have a population control that will try to keep them in balance if there are too few or too many.
