And what the hell purpose do they have? Are they sterile or something?
Okay, so Ultra Udders and Shortstack buy and sell juices while Bulge Kitty builds stuff but what I don't get is what actual purpose they serve is so vital that they can't knock you up. What about Romy? Romy has no purpose at all now because you removed Grungy.
I think of Mega Slime as a kind of blessed. Once she gives us her Keystone, there's nothing for her but to fill you up with impotent goo (or be filled up by seemingly impotent goo). So what's her enduring purpose afterwards?
I get why Kybele can't reproduce with us; don't get me wrong.
To be leaders, unique, and to avoid creating body mechanicts to new animations, walking, etc.
All of the usable nephs have to be bipedal.

Well, if you could impregnate ascended Nephelym via their unique sex scenes (and not actually breed them like wild Nephelym), then they wouldn't need special animations, would they?

They are not supposed to be replicated, that is why they are "blessed".

The plan is for all races to have slime variants that you create through the blessed mega slime so she will actually have more purpose later on assuming homeboy overcomes his psychosis. Everyone else is "sterile" because the dev wants to use the "blessed" role to create unique sex scenes with races/shapes he doesn't want to allow to breed (e.g. kybele). Why doesn't he want them to breed? Mostly because he wants everyone to be bipeds only so widow, kybele, apopha, yasmine, romy, mirru, neela, monarch, dragon matriarch and sloth are out. Fern is the only exception but only because her initial form has legs. He also probably wants the ones that could realistically breed without offspring animation issues (e.g. camilla and xena) to be unable to do so to retain their unique appearances as having clones of what are supposed to be ascended nephalym running around would diminish their positions. End of the day the only reason is to save time on animation/accessory creation.

Oh this is actually pretty cool. Thanks ^^
Does this mean that at some point Blossom will have something to do other than be a replacement for Fern?

Breeders of the Nephelym (BOTN) Incest Patcher

THE PATCHER IS NOT NEEDED ANYMORE

You can easily enable incest in the game as shown below:


OVERVIEW:
A file named imma.degenerate needs to be in the same folder as OBF.exe.​
  • It does not need to contain anything.
  • It must be the same folder as OBF.exe.
  • The filename is imma and the extension is degenerate.
It doesn't matter what creates the file, it should work as long as the filename/extension is correct.

METHOD 1:
In the folder where OBF.exe is located, create a file called imma.degenerate (be sure to enable show file extensions if you're using Windows explorer). The file does not need to contain anything.​
METHOD 2:
Command Prompt:
In the folder where OBF.exe is located, type echo. > imma.degenerate and you'll be all set.​
Command Prompt (PowerShell) :
In the folder where OBF.exe is located, type New-Item -Path . -Name "imma.degenerate" -ItemType "file" and you'll be all set.​
I'm not sure how long this will work and I think it would be best for all of us to not mention it on Patreon (or DH's Discord) especially.​
This works with the Steam version as well but if your Steam library is in Program Files, you'll need administrative rights to create the file on Windows 10. Please follow the Steam instructions below if you need help.​
STEAM:
For Steam, this gets a bit more complex because of the higher security present in Program Files.​
  • Open a "Command Prompt" or "Command Prompt (Powershell)", you'll need to run either as Administrator. (NOTE: Windows Terminal generally won't let you start an Administrator session).
  • Depending on your settings, you'll may get a elevation prompt. Accept it to continue.
  • The following step assumes the default location for the game folder. If your Steam library is installed somewhere else you'll need to use the correct path: pushd "%SystemDrive%\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Breeders of the Nephelym Alpha" (Powershell: cd "$Env:SystemDrive\Program Files (x86))\Steam\steamapps\common\Breeders of the Nephelym Alpha")
  • Now you just need to create the file: echo. > imma.degenerate (Powershell: New-Item -Path . -Name "imma.degenerate" -ItemType "file")
  • Close the command window/powershell: exit
The patcher will eventually return with support for this for a few reasons:​
  • There's no telling how long this will work and we may be back to patching soon.
  • If people use a patcher for something so simple it may help hide this from Patreon from that much longer.
  • Some users may just find it it easier. Obviously if it's using the file method, it will not actually be doing any patching at all. Just creating (or removing) a file as directed.
  • The patcher is, unfortunately, not my highest priority at the moment.
sorry to ask but can someone explain how to do method 1 or the attachment zip? i got the zip and put it in the obf folder but idk if thats right. im new to modding pc games.

Do method 1. It's super easy and you don't need to download or install anything.

Incest in this game isn't even worth, because (true to real life?) after one or two generations of in-breeding, your offspring becomes sterile, which isn't ideal in a game about breeding.

It's a work around due to Patreon's silly rules. Basically game code has a check for that file. It exists? Yes = enabled. No = disabled.

IRL? There's a chance, but not a guaranteed thing. It's mostly other birth defects that affect physical and mental growth. This happens over a few to multiple generations. Just look at "noble" bloodlines that really took keeping it in the family seriously. They could still reproduce, but more offspring suffered from health issues. Sometimes a child got lucky and doesnt get fucked over, but recessive genes from the previous incest fucked parents, grandparents, etc could still appear in their kids.

Tl;dr. Incest can fuck up generations of people. Don't do it. If you do I hope you don't fuck up your kids, their kids, etc.

For the game's mechanics, agreed it's not worth doing. Typically almost always get sterile offspring and the stats aren't that great. Not 100% certain, but seems you don't get much for releasing/turning them in for payment either. Steriles in game world not being worth much makes sense tbh.

other than leveling player early game sterile isnt all that helpful
Get some decent traits on them and level until about lv20. They're insanely valuable to World Level that way.
