Incest lovers never actually love?

[Zorlond]

So, sometimes when I start a colony, I set up an incestuous couple (using Prepare Carefully mod), just to see what would happen. And eventually I realized, I've never actually seen them 'love'. As in, they're both in bed and hearts are coming out instead of the usual Z's. But then I thought it might've been the traits I was picking So I did a little testing, setting up couples on new planets, having them quickly build a shelter with a double bed, and seeing what happens that night.

Usual traits, lovers, but not related: Love.
Random traits, lovers, not related: Love.
Random traits, lovers, siblings: No love.

With a regular relationship, lovers typically have sex something like 2/3rds of the nights they spend together, sometimes more. But with incestuous lovers? I have yet to see it happen even once in 65+ hours of play. Being married doesn't change that, either. It can't even be just a privacy thing, these couples don't have any neighbors within miles. What gives?

Edit: On a quasi-related note, loading a save that had sibling lovers, with 'unknown' parents, apparently makes the game forget that the pawns are siblings. Might just be a mod issue, but thought I'd mention it.

and this is a issue for you why ?

*shrug* Just seemed strange. How can they be lovers if they've never done the deed? Plus a +12 Mood buff's nice.

Oh, how times have changed...

Old man snark aside, it's likely that a check for familial relations takes prescedent over further calcs related to being lovers. You might also (and I can't believe what I'm typing right now) experiment with different types of incestuous relationships, to see if it's the same case with all of them or just the one you tried.

Haha, even when something is as little as incestous sex not working, Tynan is always on the lookout for bugs.
