Issues inheriting Xenotype Genes for Workers #2

Open vegapnk opened 2 weeks ago

vegapnk commented 2 weeks ago

I got the following report on Discord: 

N: I got that, but what i am wondering is how the queen's egg, implanted in a baseliner and got inseminated by xenotype A, produced a worker with genes of xenotype B (the worker carries genes that xeno A, queen and baseliner doesn't have) (edited)

Vpnk: So we have Q, which is a Queen, H which is the Host of Xenotype h and the Drone D with xenotype d
And you say that Q-Egg in H fertilized by D results in genes from h ? Or from somewhere else?

N: Somewhere else
N: did more experimenting and the most that i got is the workers inheriting the hair color of the host
...
N:
1: I went into the settings and change dna inheritance to always get fathers dna, and now it works, my workers now are not generic workers any more||,Yay!||
2:Although it works now, it is a bit random with the following results:
(In this example let say Queen (Q) implants eggs, A carries/host the eggs, B inseminates the eggs (A and B are the same race) and C is another colonist with of different race from Q,A and B)

+The babies inherits genes from B and the worker xeno type/genes (most common scenario).
+The babies inherits A's and/or B's genes, but no worker xeno type/genes. (not as common)
+The babies have the worker xeno type/genes, but inherited genes from C who wasn't involved in the insemination. (half as common as the first scenario)

Right now the sample size is only around 7 babies or so, I'll try again to see if what I have found is consistent.
Sidenote: In the social tab I noticed one time a worker doesn't show who her father isbut I know who that is because i ordered him to inseminate the eggs myself. (Could the above results be because of some bugs in the game relationship thingy or something?)

It seems the Caste-Born children inherit genes from the host, which should not be possible at all. All genes must be from the egg parents ...

Ok, so what the little reporter forget to tell me is that this was from Egg Pregnancies, but like ... chicken races etc.

So they use their own birth mechanics which are of-course not patched.
