ooh really? should i pin that too? 
torn cloak
Im just summarising the reddit post, which I think should be linked.
It looks like, gentleness/aggression can basically be understood as a [scan - dig - hunt] slider. As hunting is bugged, setting 100% aggression ensures that scanning isn't an option and the pet ai will always choose dig.
If, on the other hand, you like having random resources marked up, throw in some gentleness adn it will engage in more passive activities.
helpful vs playful seems to be a (dance - vs some action from the aggression slider) slider.
and devoted vs independent is a (25u - 45u - 55u) radius slider which sets how far you can command them to go, how far they will scout ahead etc.
but thats my 2nd hand summary of the reddit post.
shut magnet
I keep one of each of the following, 100% independent, 0% devotion/independent, 100% devoted. Since you need the shorter ranges during combat.

helpful, aggression, independence.
theres some question about independence with combat as if its too far away, it might not fight things near you.
but independence cuts down on neediness - they loose happy slower and check in with you less often, interrupting their scouting. so in theory its win.
and making creatures aggressive already makes them return to you more often, interrupting helpful behaviours like scanning or digging.

Alright
torn cloak
@shut magnet how is it bugged?
not that one.
But, for all complementary stats, a material that increases a stat (helpfulness) will always show as a decrease of the other stat (playfulness) for as long as the creature is dominantly the other stat.
That doesn't seem to be a bug, and seems to be what people are describing.

But, for all complementary stats, a material that increases a stat (helpfulness)...
It's bugged. Try it yourself.

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoMansSkyTheGame/comments/lo4doj/egg_sequencer_update/
Sorry, this is the correct link.
Helpfulness trait increase seems to be bugged whereas the Sequencer shows a faulty change when a creature has the Playfulness trait. It will state Helpfulness Decrease until Playfulness has reached 0~2%. After that it will state the correct Helpfulness Increase.
torn cloak
Oh, I see the typo. Thats unfortunate.
shut magnet
That's why the earlier version of the Google doc spread sheet was messed up too

To be honest, all of these bugs just add to the overall mystery of creature taming.
When it's not that complicated compare to other pet sim

So, with regards to helpfulness/playfulness, you need to be damn careful, and ignore the text. all you can trust is "decreasing" and "increasing".

It's not math, you are too smart for the dumb UI
Every 100% is just the size of the dose, not how much it would increase your creature

I'm sorry I missed this earlier. I haven't been on the lookout for canine looking fauna. perhaps other players have already shared some here or in the other nms channels (including screenshots). but regarding there being different features for one same creature/species, i've definitely seen it. as in, a proto-gek creature in the same planet will show 2 different "designs", even though it's got the same species name.
perfect example's this little guy. showing two different ways. the non-feathery one has a shell on its back like a turtle. totally different legs from the feathery one which has bird looking legs.
in the second shot, you see two players. gek player sees the feathery version, while the other sees the feathery one. same creature.

the theory someone mentioned to me before is that maybe the gender makes a difference. but i'm unclear on the reasoning behind the differences. i'd assume that even after you'd sequence the same species to have different traits, they'd still show the same species name, right? so in the wild, the same can happen. maybe there's a set pool of features a given species can have. and when found in the wild, that's purely rng...?

@barren kernel in theory if you repeatedly overdose it just toggles
Each egg has one head and one body mutation available apparently - the head mutation happens on the overdose.
idk if different eggs from the same creature have different mutations available. or if different generations do. or if each creature is just fixed to 4 variants forever - 2 heads and 2 bodies that you can toggle between.

the diplos are the most complicated one

Everything can do that. Head proportions change depending on the body type. Cats do that.

the diplos have different neck and body shape instead of only the proportions
i tried mixing and matching the diplos i found and the resulting creature is always not what i wanted because they have so many variations

Yeah, there's lines of code just for the neck.
And then the fact that diplos, hippos, stegos, rhinos, tapirs, and trikes are all the same creature as far as the game is concerned.

no matter how the trex looked, after using the genesplicer on it the result will always be that horned birdrex

@nocturne crystal right now the body changing is really limited. each creature seems to have one body change thats available at "dose" level serum, and a head mutation at "overdose". and it toggles back if you apply a dose/overdose again.

soooo does anyone here understand the limitations of egg storage and egg trading? cuz a friend of mine is unable to give me 2 eggs of the same creature. game keeps saying no. so we're thinking there must be an overall egg limitation, with how many you can have in your inventory? i have a total of 5. moved them all to my freighter's storage containers, and egg is still not allowing me to receive another egg...nor induce another egg either. wth.
short flicker
Okay, a few things I've learned.
@nocturne crystal @next hawk Those cats are a preset model in the game. Those preset, or unique, creatures are much easier to find than any single other animal configuration. For that one (Predator Cat XRare), wandering around aimlessly for dozens of hours, I think I've seen it about 15 times. These presets also can't really be changed other than height/weight and personality. Gene splicing or dye sequencing won't do anything. There's also one for each creature subtype, as far as I know.
@split carbon I think you can only have a maximum of 5.
split carbon
nutty, that's what i'm learning.
nocturne crystal
damn alright
split carbon
i would've assumed 6 as the limit.
and moving them to storage containers doesn't trick the game either. just 5 total. no buts.

You can make creatures?
make creatures? you mean companions? you feed creatures in the wild. and when you select them, it gives you the option to make them a companion. after 24 hours (in not an infant), it can hatch an egg, which you can modify with the egg sequencer at the space anomaly / nexus. there are pinned links in this channel with ideas on how to sequence them for specific things like colors.

Didn't hesitate on making him bigger

wondering if that can be useful to know certain types of wildlife in certain kinds of planets 
leaden bane

Theres no way to remove specific channels except via roles and there isn't one that removes #nms-questions.

This is Dodo Nytshade gen.2 doing their happy hula
This is Singapriti gen.2 - still young
This is Ostaro Ursus gen. 2 recently hatched - originally anklebiter size and green but I wanted a white rabbit so i used solaneum
This is Kernuno Ursus gen 2. just hatched. originally anklebiter size - i think i overstacked on the gold - he's going to be gigantic - original color - Ostaro and Kernuno are same species variants from same humid planet
This is Chimerazi Faeorno

love the horns in this one! did you find it with the horns in the wild, or that's after modifications with the sequencer?

My new little dino.
Btw, for those who want to know the colour scheme, it's anti matter. But overdosed on my end.
Also, that Dino is just hatched.

Would a storm crystal instantly max out a creature's size?

Not that I know of.
Also, my newest family member/pet. @split carbon
Not even bred yet or such. Just found naturally in the wild.

Oh yes. But he's my gentle boy.
The baby dino is bigger than him though at adult age I believe.

I overdosed the gene splitter in the egg sequencer. First time the resulting creature was different than its parent. Second time it was an exact clone.
And the third time as well.
analog girder
The gene splitter is supposed to work every time, right? I've just been getting clones after the first one.
lament phoenix
There's only two heads
One for each gender or something
I've had the same thing with my crab
The egg hatched into some weird thing that didn't even have crab claws
analog girder
I mean it was the same exact everything. Nothing changed on the clone. They were indistinguishable.
