Thread: DNA Template Complexity affecting creature level?

Ive noticed that a DNA template starts with a complexity of 18 no matter what dna you put in it.

Every time you experiment, dont matter if its all points at once or just 1 point, the complexity goes up up by one point.

I had 20 GSP DNA of high quality in a backpack, all of = stats. I went ahead trying to do true 'clones' (just trying shtuff)... noticed that experimenting the same points in the same attributes resulted in different creature levels if I did point by point experimentation compared to all-points at once experimentation.

Aka, if i used up all my 10 points in 1 experimentation the dna template complexity came up as 19. Creature level was lev 14. 100% repeatable. Did another set of GSP's spending the same points in the same places, but experimenting 1 point at a time.. the dna template complexity was 21+ .. CL came out 25..with same stats and stuff.

Anyone seen anything like this happen?

'But why is Fantasia dying then?'
'Because people have begun to loose their hopes and forget their dreams. So the nothing grows stronger. It's the emptiness that's left. It's like a despair, destroying this world. And I have been trying to help it.'
'But why?'
'Because people who have no hopes are easy to control. And whoever has control has the power'

Hehe, I think you might be confusing cause and affect. Every time you hit the "run experiment" button, the complexity goes up. And yes, by experimenting on stats, the CL is going to go up too, so there is your correlation. And in general, your overall experimentation results are going to be better if you experiment one point at a time then if you experiment all points at the same time. Better experimentation results = higher CL. I'm fairly certain that if you dumped all your points into a creature and got an "amazing success" you'd get the same or higher CL then if you experimented one point at a time and got all "great successes".
