Animal Incest

Adding a bloodline in the name of the animal would solve that problem
That data is allready somewhere in the code to keep track so that would be a easy fix.

I see a lot of reactions checking how it works in real life but that doesnt matter much as game play should always trump realism in any game.

Edit: Do animals in rimworld mate in the wild?

When animals migrate and come back after a while are those the exact same animals or are they refreshed each time?

Sadly they do not

Yeah, it's a really irritating mechanic. It's also particularly odd given that in the same update, the colonist AI was apparently changed to allow incest. Like, animals famously don't give two shits about incest (maybe primates are an exception?), whereas humans, at least a great deal of the time, do. But as it stands farm animals that are related to each other won't mate, and humans that are related will. That just seems backwards, in addition to being a lot of unfun work keeping track of "breeder" animals.

Exactly my tought.
Go you think you can stop a rabbit to have sex with its sister, simply because it is blood related? Try it.
In a couple of years you'll have something like a hundred rabbits.
