Mutation that doesnt exist?

[Duksoni]

Can someone explain how this rex has 2 mutations more than its father, the difference between their levels is only 2, as if it only got one mutation. Their stats are same, exept for a visible health mutation. Is it posibble that it got a movement speed mutation, even though it is lvl 211 and it kept all the stats from its lvl 209 dad? The settings for dino stats are default, if it matters.

Assuming the mom has 0/40 markers; that baby got a mutation in health and a mutation in speed.

Mutation in speed would still give it 2 extra lvls... i think the mother already had 1 mutation.

Females don't have mutations, I followed Syntac's guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VLNElxm5_s and kept all the females unmutated, I only keep the mutated male

Are the stats on both parents the same, and same lvl?

Yes, started from lvl 199 and male is currently 209 from mutations

Best way to find out is use art smart breeder. Import both parents and then import the baby. Smart breeder will show you what mutated. 

 

That being said, it is possible for a baby to get a mutation counter without the mutated stat being chosen for the baby. Based on the fact the baby only gained 2 levels over the dad, this is what I think happened.

I can't really tell w/out seeing both parents stats.

Same, the only reason - as @Baklap stated - is that the mother already had 1 mutation-counter, maybe she was bred with by accident.

Color mutation?

That’s what I was thinking.  A flawed breeder slipped through the cracks.  Easy to do when you raise large batches.

People in the thread have a lot of great thoughts about this.  Remember, mutation counters are always passed on, even if the stats aren't passed from the mutated parent to child.  If you breed a 500/40 mutation male with 75 points in HP (assuming lot of redundant mutations!) with a 0/40 mutation female, and the baby gets the mom's 35 points in HP, it will still have 500/40 total mutations but only 35 points in HP.
