Mutation (Breeding Stat)

Internal engine status effect. This represents the Mutation/Evolution breeding stat modifier used in the home/breeding system. It influences the likelihood or quality of mutations appearing in offspring.

Higher mutation stats increase the chance of beneficial genetic mutations being passed down through breeding. This is not a combat status effect but a persistent genetic trait. Mutations can provide unique abilities, stat bonuses, or visual changes to offspring, making the Mutation breeding stat valuable for min-maxing cat genetics.

Other breeding stats include Health (base HP), Appeal (attractiveness), Stimulation (activity level), and Comfort (home satisfaction). Together, these stats influence offspring quality in the breeding system. Furniture and home environment contribute to breeding stat levels.
