Appreciation

From A Wiki in the Desert

Current Project

Attempting to shorten the genome for Appreciation vines

Starting points

Appreciation, 16 genes long

  • KGYRYRYYRYYRYYRK

Appreciation Original (same genome, renamed), 16 genes long

  • KGYRYRYYRYYRYYRK

Analysis with Ashen's crossbreeding simulator shows that 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 and Analysis

Here we go!

Results summary

  • These vines are tending as QQQ, wildS, and have a Light Red Hue. 1 in 44 chance of a shorter genome.
    • Peacefulness#8
    • Peacefulness#9
    • Peacefulness#10
  • Still working on Peacefulness #11
  • Peacefulness#12 has a 1 in 4 chance of being shorter.

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 1/44 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 1/44 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
    • 22/44, no change to the genome
    • 7/44, gene added
    • 4/44, gene removed
  • In the barrel, Peacefulness#9 is Light Red
    • 29/33, no change, Light Red
      • 6/33 gene added. 1/33 gene removed
    • 4/33, wildHue giving White (or Rose?)
      • 1/4, gene added. 3/4 gene removed
Peacefulness#10

Conclusion: This cross has a 1/44 chance of having a shorter genome

  • Four tends match QQQ wildS
  • Two tends, Q values negative, wildS
  • Hue is Light Red
Peacefulness#11
  • first tend matches QQQ wildS
Peacefulness#12

Freshly planted vine, 0 Quality. First tend (Musty TL) gave no increase in grape quality.

  • Q should give -4 quality.
  • QQ should give -5 quality
  • QQQ does give +6 quality. Verified with an Appreciation vine. This vine is not QQQ.
  • QQQQ tends not documented


  • 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.
    • Vines with S: 3 are longer, 1 is shorter.

Starting point, 15 genes
