Late Stage Infection Victim

The Cordyceps god's unique generic agent says it's supposed to attract drones with pheromones, but I just spawned one and had him do a challenge in an infected city and the modifier did not grow. I would have imagined he would have started with the "Scent of Prey" trait, like the Supp does- what am I missing?

Late stage infection victims start at level 0 with no starting traits. When they level up for the first time, they will gain the scent of prey talent. That talent increases the feeding pheromone modifier of a settlement with infection in it. I just checked this, and it is working for me.

I think the bug here is that the feeding pheromone modifier's change per turn doesn't reflect the increase in feeding pheromone from the scent of prey talent. It does increase every turn due to scent of prey, but it only shows a decrease in the change per turn.

Thank you for this tip, that makes me feel much better.

And yes, it's definitely weird that even for your supp that it seems to shoot up in huge chunks but that this isn't reflected. I wonder if it's something to do with the fact that it's like an "AoE" talent- you can walk towards one of your hive clusters and cities three steps/links in front of you start increasing. I can't think of any other effects like that.
