What is the maximum tribe size?
“Anyone know how many monkeys max? I’ve got 6 babies going but can’t find anymore hominids to get to join..."
You can have a maximum 6 of each generation, 6 babies, 6 adults and 6 elders. The game will attempt to auto balance the genders.
Where can I find outside/foreign hominids?
They appear only when you have appropriate space for them, they are found around settlements up in the canopies. Using sound sense and calls to find them is highly recommended.
How can I switch the item in my hand?
For the Switch Hands action to appear, unlocking a neuron is required. However, it is one of the first unlocks, so keep an eye out.
Can I make fire?
No. You can’t make fire nor use it.
How do I stop piggybacking babies?
"I can't for the life of me figure out how to take the kid off my back so I can go to a more dangerous location?"
You must 
lie down in a 
sleep spot and the
Drop Child action will appear. Press the appropriate button and the baby will crawl down onto the sleep spot.
How can I move settlements?
A 
settlement can be placed anywhere you like.
Just stand near the sleep spot so it is highlighted and you will get the prompt to settle.
- It is highly recommended you move all of your group members to your new settlement location as soon as possible after creating it.
- It is also recommended to move group members when you have no babies as the babies are very weak and will be easily killed by aggressive animals. However, if you do have babies and need to move settlements, piggybacking them is safest.
- Any group members not within the confines of your new settlement when you skip generations, will be killed.
Keep an eye on your group as you travel, as all aggressive animals will attack them and can kill them within a couple of strikes. Only late neuronal unlocks will give your clan the ability to fight or dodge attacks themselves without your intervention.
