Site Update
Kita (#3988) has been an absolute life saver. <3 She has taken over Breeding Mistakes and has finished ruling the 5.0 thread, along with uploading most of the fixes for that entire thread already!
She has made a new thread, Breeding Mistakes 6.0. She also has a ping thread!
Kita has also been helping fix old out of date breeding knowledge base articles, and made a sweet new add-on article that provides baby examples for most of the themed add-ons.
Clarification for the edit randomizers:
Staff has realized these add-ons were being handled inconsistently. This has caused confusion within staff, with artists, and with users.
To fix this, here is a clarification that will be followed from here on out (applying to all breedings in queue):
Edit randomizer offspring will be created on the genera's default base lines.
This means if you breed a Melo with a Melo using a BC, your baby will start from the BLANK Melo genus base and edits from the randomizer prompt will be added to that.
In breedings involving one or more SCC parents, where an SCC genera is rolled for the offspring, the offspring will be created on the randomly designated parent's lines and not the SCC's blank genus base. The breeding team are not expected to know what the "blank" base for any given SCC genus is.
As a large portion of the inconsistencies have involved Teos specifically, a new compromise has been put in place for Teo breedings. The default for a breeding with a Teo parent, where the breeding rolls a Teo offspring, will be to start from the BLANK Teo base. However, if you wish for the baby to start from the parent lines instead, you may request that in the breeding notes. If the breeding is Teo x Teo, you may not specify which parental line is used, just that you would like parental lines to be used in general.
We hope that makes sense!
We are HIRING still! GP pay only - but we are willing to be flexible on how many breedings you take at a time. For BC/HBC we would prefer you take at minimum 3 breedings due in 14 days, and for LBC we would prefer you take at minimum 5 breedings due in 14 days. Normal list size for these coins is 10 breedings.
Please apply asap if you're interested!

Kyu & Mauri (#1010) Ok, so I just received two babies back from a Xaoc x Melo HBC breeding with an edit randomizer. I received babies on the base Melo, without any of the parents' edits used. I had submitted this breeding a long time ago, with the assumption that it was an add-on to the parent edits, rather than a replacement. This breeding was even assigned prior to this news post, so I figured I was safe. Needless to say, I'm feeling really disappointed, because I would never have used the edit randomizer if I thought that it wasn't going to be added on to the parent edits. I know we can't go back in time, but I feel like this could've been handled a lot better, and included a clause that grandfathered in the already-submitted (or assigned) breedings.

Sooo.... if you breed two SCC creatures together that have the same species ie: many features similar, what would the edit randomizer start from?
And if breeding two SCC pets of completely different species, what would the edit randomizer start from?
