Appreciation

Current Project

Attempting to shorten the genome for Appreciation vines. Crossing with Nut's Essence can produce:

• a child identical to the parents (50% of the time), 22/44
• a child that is 15 genes long (25% of the time), 11/44
• a child that is 17 genes long (25% of the time), 11/44

Results which have mutations can be detected through

• Molecular Balance (not fully researched)
• Revelation Solvents
• Analysis of vineyard tends
  • No Change: 22 of 44 results will show the same tends and be genetically identical to the parents, three Quality genomes and no Sugar genomes (wild)
  • Sneaky Change: 7 of 44 results have a mutation that can ONLY be detected with Revelation Solvents or Molecular Balance. 6 are longer, 1 is shorter, but they do not change the function of the vine.
  • Hue: 4 of 44 results will show changes in the Hue. 1 is longer, 3 are shorter.
    • In the barrel Appreciation grapes have shown as Light Red wine.
    • Harvested Appreciation grapes will display "Hue: Light Red" when examined through Skills > Viticulture.
    • Expecting that a vine without the Hue genome will show as White wine.
  • Quality: 11 of 44 results will show changes in the Quality tends.
  • Sugar: 6 of 44 results will show changes in the Sugar tends.

Starting Point: 16 genes

two Appreciation vines (one renamed)

Results summary

• Peacefulness#8, QQQ wildS, Light Red Hue. 1/29 chance of being shorter
• Peacefulness#9, QQQ wildS, Light Red Hue. 1/29 chance of being shorter
• Peacefulness#10, QQQ wildS, Light Red Hue. 1/29 chance of being shorter
• Peacefulness #11, QQQ wildS, Light Red Hue. 1/29 chance of being shorter
• Peacefulness#12, QQ S. 1/4 chance of being shorter. Revelation Solvent shows it is longer.
• Peacefulness#13, QQQ wildS, White Hue. 3/4 chance of being shorter. next step, revelation solvents.

Tends to Avoid

They give ambiguous results for these vines

• Fat SL, need the tend for QQQ. Also Q = QQ
• Fat SV, wildS = S
• Fat TL, Q = QQ
• Fat TV, wildS = SS
• Musty AS, Q = QQQ
• Rustle MG, wildS = S
• Rustle SL, wildS = SS
• Rustle SV, Q = QQQ
• Sagging AS, Q = QQ and wildS = SS
• Sagging PO, wildS = S
• Shimmer MG, wildS = SS
• Wilting AS, Q = QQQ

More Details

Peacefulness#8

conclusion: this cross has a 1/29 chance of having a shorter genome
early tends match QQQ, wildS.
Hue in the barrel is Light Red, same as Appreciation.

• 22/44, identical to parents, 16 genes.
• 6/44, gained a gene, 17 genes.
• 1/44, lost a gene, 15 genes.

Peacefulness#9

Conclusion: This cross has a 1/29 chance of having a shorter genome

• First tend was Musty AS. Poor choice of tend. Q and QQQ both have the same quality change.
• Tends 2 through 7 match QQQ, wildS
• Current possibilities: 33 of 44 combinations yield QQQ, wildS
  • 22/33, no change to the genome
  • 7/33, gene added
  • 4/33, gene removed

• In the barrel, Peacefulness#9 is Light Red
  • 29/33 QQQ wildS Light Red Hue (H)
    • 22/33 no change to the genome
    • 6/33 gene added.
    • 1/33 gene removed
  • 4/33 QQQ wildS, White Hue (wildH)
    • 1/4 gene added.
    • 3/4 gene removed

Peacefulness#10

Conclusion: This cross has a 1/29 chance of having a shorter genome

• Four tends match QQQ wildS
• Two tends, Q values negative (no data), wildS
• Hue is Light Red

Peacefulness#11

• Four tends match QQQ wildS

Peacefulness#12

This vine has a 1 in 4 chance of being shorter

• Revelation Solvents show that it is longer :(

Freshly planted vine, 0 Quality.

• First tend (Musty TL) gave no increase in grape quality.
  • Q should give -4 quality. Could be this vine
  • QQ should give -5 quality. Could be (is) this vine
  • QQQ does give +6 quality. Verified with an Appreciation vine. This vine is not QQQ.
  • QQQQ tends not documented. Could be this vine
• 11 vines have a change in Q. 4 are longer, 7 are shorter.
• All of those vines have Light Red Hue.
• First tend gave a change in sugar that matches S, not the wildS in Appreciation.
  • 4/44 vines are S. They are also all QQ.
    • 3/4 are longer
    • 1/4 is shorter
• Second tend matches Shrivel PO for QQ S
• Third tend matches Shrivel SV for QQ S
• Fourth tend matches Wilting TL for QQ S
  • The length of the genome can now only be determined through Molecular Balance or Revelation Solvents.

Revelation Solvent results show that this vine has a gene added. Back to the Nut's Essence.

Peacefulness#13

• tend 1 matches QQQ wildS
• tend 2 matches QQQ wildS
• tend 3 matches QQQ wildS
• tend 4 matches QQQ, can't tell on the S.
• Grape hue is WHITE! :D
  • 3/4 of the white-hued grapes have a shorter genome!

Next step, get more cuttings and dunk in revelation solvents

Peacefulness #13 Revelation Solvent results show that this mutation has an additional gene. Not a shorter genome.

Starting point, 15 genes

For the Appreciation vine, it is not possible to know EXACTLY what the genome of the child is, without revelation solvents, with one exception: the combination that yields QQQQ can be detected through only vineyard tending and grape hue. Unfortunately, it has a length of 17, which is not my goal. If I stumble across it, I'll make it available to other players.
