howdy hi 2 u all hope u r having a nice time.

I've been thinking about potatoes. A lot. I've also eaten some as research for this issue. My findings are three-fold:

These findings have led me to believe that the 'potatoes' in dawn are not a problem, it is simply the fact that there are too many of them.

We already have them inheriting shape. We also have a great mutator class made by an extremely good full-stack developer which is definitely NOT a glorified number generator and actually an incredibly complex algorithm based on maths. What is maths, I hear you say? We just don't know.

I would like to propose that we make it so there is a very slight chance of creating a completely random shape upon breeding. Thus, we stem the flow of powerful, gushing potatoes that has been overwhelming us for so very long.

Thank you all for your consideration and I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this matter in due course xxx
