pregnancy fail wtf?

[EvilNecroid]

so i have a guy with 2 GFs
he has sex with 1 of them and she gets pregnant but when he has sex with the other it says pregnancy failed because of stupid gene limits even tho all 3 people have the exact same genes

[EvilNecroid]

i dont get it.
my guy just slept with 3 women and they all had the error thing about exceeding the stupid gene limit but then the next night he sleeps with 3 of them again and 2 get pregnant while 1 gets the error?
and they all have the same genes?
is there a way to turn off the stupid limit?

[CloudSeeker]

Just use a mod that increase the limit

If a pawn would get pregnant they roll to see what genes are inherited. Generally if both parents have the gene, there's a 100% chance to pass it down if I'm remembering it correctly. The issue is usually with Archite genes, which have a Much lower chance to be passed down, something like 10~15%. If the total combination of genes passed down requires 6+ metabolism, the pregnancy fails.

So this problem mainly pops up with custom germline genes that use archites, especially Archite Metabolism.

It can very rarely pop up when breeding two different core races, but it's so rare that you'd expect to never run into it.

so even ticking the thing that lets u inherit archite genes doesnt garontee them to be inherited?

[EvilNecroid]

what if i patch out the archite costs on all genes?
does that stop them from being archite genes?

[Astasia]

Archite genes can never be inherited without mods. If you tick "remove restrictions" it will allow you to make them endo genes, but they will not be inherited like other endo genes and will cause the issues you are having.

Why pregnancy might work sometimes and not others is there is a lot of RNG if the pawns don't both have all the same inheritable genes. If the genes that are randomly rolled to be inherited fall within the metabolism limit then the pregnancy can work, and the metabolism limit for "hybrid" pregnancies is itself random and can vary between +1 to +3.
