Stable Mutagen Doesn't Work With Reptillian DNA - Urlance Woolsbane - 10-02-2019
This may be working as intended, but the wiki is unclear, so here goes: I purchased Reptilian with spacebux, and decided to create a horde of lizard-folk. To this end, I employed floor-pills. Nothing happened; I even witnessed someone consume one. So, I decided to test it with a monkey; still nothing. It seems that stable mutagen simply won't change species to anything other than human; this does prevent mass-monkification, but I'm not sure it was intended to exclude everything else.
It should be noted that, while using monkey blood seems to transfer everything *but* species, this is not the case with reptillan-blood. It simply doesn't work.

Not a bug. Stable mutagen copies name and appearance, but not mutations. Lizard DNA is considered a mutation. If you want to do this you'll need to use DNA injectors instead.
