PROCREATION
Devikins procreate using the procreation machine accessed from the roster.
The incubator required is defined by the highest rarity of the two Devikins.
Choose the two Devikins to procreate. Insert the correct incubator and pay the fee.
After 12 hours, the embryo will be delivered, and the procreation count of the parents is decreased.
The embryo will have the same procreation count as the lowest parent (after the decrease for procreating).
Even though the system is called procreation, Devikins are genderless.
The procreation mechanic is a way of minting new Devikins. Procreation offers a more controlled outcome of your Devikin mint, since the new Devikin is a mix of the two sources with a small chance of mutations.
A mutation is when a gene or affinity inheritance is bypassed and rolled anew.
There are some genes that can only be obtained by rolling for a mutation gene; this gene is given the rarity Mutated. The chance of having a mutated gene during a mutation is 1%.
See https://devikins.com/blog/guide/inheriting/ for more about inheritance.
Each individual Devikin can procreate up to 10 times. Eldritch Devikins cannot procreate.
The DVK procreation cost increases with procreation count.
A Devikin cannot procreate with immediate relatives. A relative is considered any of the sources (parents), or any offspring of the sources (siblings or nieces/nephews).
When procreating, the procreation count (maximum amount of times a Devikin can procreate) gets passed onto the offspring. To be more specific, the Devikin with the lowest procreations remaining has its count passed on, minus one. For example, if a player procreates using two Devikins, one of whom has 7 counts left, and the other has 2, the resulting Devikin would have 1 procreation remaining, taking from the lowest.
In essence, if you procreate using two Devikins, the one with the lowest procreations remaining has that number of uses passed on.
When using a normal incubator the rarity of the resulting embryo can not be higher than the lowest rarity of its parents +1.
So if you procreate a common with a mythic using a normal incubator the maximum rarity of the embryo is uncommon.
However, there are Limitless Incubators which remove this ceiling.
There are also Genetic Incubators which guarantee that the embryo has no lower rarity than the lowest parent.
