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, evaluating

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

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.
