I did not know that. What if you have a crystal (female), azure (male, virile), and crimson (male) chinchompa? Is it possible to get any of the 3 breeds, or does it always select the best 2 options for breeding (crystal and azure)?

It will look for a male and female pair and breed those. The pair is randomised each time so it slightly alters the range of offspring, but it doesn't increase the rate at which it happens. It doesn't take best breeding chances into account though, so you actually reduce your probability of offspring in this scenario. It's generally better to remove excess animals and focus on a preferred breeding pair.

I've had a look over the code and I cannot see anywhere where anything could be going wrong. It should function as expected, however breeding happens on the following conditions:

  1. Have the animals actually successfull bred? The collector doesn't speed up breeding rates or offer any improvement on breeding chance. She is included in mitigation checks. Make sure you're not just being unlucky (check animals are well fed and healthy, make sure that you're allowing ample time for breeding. Mitigation is FIVE failures, which means it can be a good while before you'd be lucky if you are using animals with a long breeding cycle).
  2. For the collector make sure you have beans to cover the cost of each animal. If you don't have the beans, she won't sto...
