Skill Bug in Creation Screen

[Mackenzie]

Hello everyone,

I registered here today to cross-post a bug I believe I have stumbled upon in the 14e version of the game. I thought I was onto the understanding of a new game mechanic, but it just so happened to turn out that what made me think I'd stumbled on something was actually a bug.

Basically if you roll a colonist on the colonist creation screen, and the childhood or adulthood backstories contains a bonus to the Animals skill, such as say "+4", then it won't actually apply the bonus to the skill as shown in this image I uploaded:

No mods were used, this is the vanilla game. Thank you for your time.
