Hell Horses 'seem related' when breeding, but are not related

[Sinnjinn 508]

Trying to breed 2 Hell Horses together.  They don't share any parents, and neither one is the parent of the other, but yet I still got the error message "they seem related' when trying to breed them.

 

this was confirmed by a GM

Hi Sinnjinn, may I ask which GM confirmed this so I can get some more information from them please?

[Sinnjinn 508]

Oh my, I'm so sorry.  I never saw this response.  It was Shydow

This also happened to me a few weeks back. Can confirm it's a thing.

You will also get the "seem to be related" warning, if the breedlings share at least one of the same grandparents. Happens to me all the time. Grandparents can only be tracked, if the parents are still alive and you can examine the parents or if you made personal notes. You cant find out about the grandparents just by examining the breedlings alone. But even if you get a warning triggered by shared grandparents, you can go on breeding, because the offsprings will not get any bad traits from that.
