Better Crossbreeding

Improvements to RimWorld 1.6's crossbreeding mechanics. Example patch can be found at Example/Patches/Example.xml.

Allows animal crossbreeding to produce variable offspring (rather than always inheriting the mother's species), on a per-partner basis, using the following behaviours:

- Maternal: Inherits mother's species. Vanilla behaviour.
- Paternal: Inherits father's species.
- Random: Inherits either mother or father's species on a coin flip.
- Other: Child will be an entirely separate species. Use for hybrids, like Horses and Donkeys producing Mules or Hinnies (depending on the sex of the parent).
- OtherRandom: Child will be an entirely separate species, chosen at random from a list. Use for, as an example, an insectoid queen that can give birth to a number of different "caste" species.
- OtherRandomWeighted: Child will be an entirely separate species, chosen at random from a weighted list. Use for cases where you want a certain offspring type to be rarer than others.

If crossbreeding behaviour is not defined for a pairing in the modExtension, it will default to vanilla behaviour for compatibility.

NOTE: Does nothing on its own. Only subscribe to this if you have another mod which depends on it.
