Why was animal genealogy trees removed in 1.1?

[KalkiKrosah]

It was a source of mild amusement to me to ♥♥♥♥ up animal family trees to the point where the grandfather was both the uncle and brother of his grandson. Now the social tab for animals only show bonds with colonists. I don't understand why this was removed. It was such a fun feature... now its gone.

My animals in 1.1 still show who their parents and siblings are.

Still shows for me too, got the 10 cats joining event early on and hoo boy are some of them messed up now 3 years later.

Maybe its just for rats and rabbits. They reproduce so quickly that its easy mode to mess around their gene pool.

My cows are exquisitely bred to perfection, they are true race-cows of the highest rarity and quality. Fit for a king, they are! One of these beauties will cost you 10000 silver. Which is to say my entire maintained population of 15 stems from a single breeding couple I bought 5 years ago.

If genealogy was removed from small animals, find the smallest animal that still has it and then breed that. An army of ducks is probably just as nice as an army of rats, and you get to be impressed by their good breeding at the same time.

Yeah the family tree is missing for my chickens too. Don't know what's up with that.

I have Father, Grandfather - Nephew, Brother etc. on my Boomalopes. Sometimes an animal is only a sibling of one sometimes it's both a father and a grandfather etc. and etc.

To be fair if your animal genolgy hits the cap which i think is rediuclsy high then that animal species wont spawn any more ever. Theres a bunch of mods that deleted the entire list of dead/ones off the map to help this out, also helps the game run a bit faster.

I don't understand what this tread is about? Is it a royalty dlc function?

Nah this is in the base game. When an animal is born, it lists father, mother, siblings and other family ties in the social tab.

Tame animals are also super prone to incest and the game keeps track of that too.

So after a few births you'll have things like boomrat #32 whose mother is also its aunt.

In the social tab you can see their relations of a target colonist/animal. Wife, fathers, Aunts, sons, bonded owner, etc. When you play a colony long enough the list can get pretty long.

In the past I bred Muffalo and it was a source of enjoyment for me to see how inbred I could get them. I recently tried this with rats and when I got to 100 I thought to check in and see how inbred they were and the rat's social tab was completely empty. It was kind of a buzzkill to see this as I spent a lot of time and resources growing my rat population to get that large.

The social tab is still working but only for the bigger animals. Small stuff like rats, hares and squirrels its absent.

Are there any perks on it? Or just enjoyment?

[Bouncer]

If it were realistic incest should have the opposite of perks.

But for Rimworld, it's just silly flavour text.

Named animals for me keep a family tree on social tab for all related named animals
