BREEDING
Restore the Breeding Enclosure? to pair a male and a female of the same species? . The session runs on a timer, then you collect the resulting egg.
breeding time = breed_multi x 10 minutes x (1 - enclosure timer reduction)
The species' breed_multi ranges from 1 (10 minutes) upward for the larger predators. Further reductions come from skills? and research. Per-species base times are on the Species Index.
WHAT THE EGG INHERITS
- Stats — rolled from both parents, with a chance to exceed them.
- Traits? — both parents' traits can be passed down.
- Color — inherited from the parents unless a mutation triggers.
- Mutations — a small chance to add +1 to a random stat and/or roll a mutated color.
Mutation math. The Enclosure's mutation-chance multiplier scales the base mutation roll, using the Enclosure level snapshotted when the session started. Only natural → mutated color transitions occur; mutated colors never appear on wild spawns.
COLORS
| Group | Colors |
|---|---|
| Natural (0–6) | Default, rustleaf, forest moss, desert sand, crimson earth, charcoal, ivory |
| Mutated (7–12) | Solaris, frostveil, bloodmoon, verdigris, orchid, toxic |
Genetics are stored per dinosaur, including a per-stat breakdown of base / mutation / nursery? / free points, so the roster shows exactly where every stat came from.
