Vine Genome Theory

Vine Gene Sets

The following gene sets became known through extensive mutagen use to build single gene sets within a genome. ~Pascalito and Ariella

Acid = OYYG

Color = RROOYY

Grapes = OOOR

sKin = YRO

Quality = RYYR

Sugar = YYY

Vigor = GGGRO

Hue = GYR

Vine Gene Sets Knowledge

FACT 1:

Starting values for all stats for a vine when first planted are 0 except for Grapes and Vigor. Grapes starting value is between 8 and 12 (inclusive and regardless of how many Grapes gene sets a vine genome has) and is 'assigned' randomly for a unique vine genome. You might also think of it as each type of vine is 'assigned' an amount of starting Grapes and every cutting from that vine will ALWAYS have that amount of starting Grapes. Vigor begins with 100 health and will always decrease with each tend. See Vineyards and Wine Guide also. Starting Vine Stats of Zero

FACT 2:

When doing a tend, the default range amount for any attribute will give a range amount of -4 to +4 when there is zero gene sets for that attribute. Example: If a genome had no Quality gene sets of RYYR then the Quality amount after doing a tend would ALWAYS fall between -4 and +4 to whatever previous total was for Quality.

Exception to this rule above is the 'attribute' of Vigor. Vigor is the health of the vine and it always decreases with each tend. It's default with zero gene sets of Vigor in a genome is -1 to -14.

FACT 2:

For each gene set of an attribute that is in a genome, the default range amount is incremented by -4 and +4 on the default above. Example: If a genome has one Quality gene set RYYR then the Quality amount after doing a tend would fall between -8 and +8 to whatever previous total was for Quality.

For the attribute Vigor, for each gene set it decreases the negative range by 1. So for one gene set of Vigor, GGGRO in the genome, the range would now be -1 to -13. Kind of measly.
