[0.9.163-PUBLIC-ELECTRON#7133] Removing vagina from character does not get rid of "heat cycle" perk from behemoth crystal.

[razor777]

Despite the wiki(and game itself) stating that removing all vaginas on a female character removes the heat cycle perk from it, this does not actually happen in practice.

Test save that I tested this with:

The wiki isn't an official source on the game. This could very well be an error in the wiki.

Does the perk still get Steele into heat when all vaginas are removed or is it "dormant"?

Perk Gained: Heat Cycle - Your body periodically enters a state of heat when you’re not pregnant, which boosts your libido, fertility and sexiness, but also makes it harder to control your breeding instincts. This perk can be removed by losing your pussies.

Emphasis mine.
It can also be lost if Steele is Infertile at midnight, making Sterilex basically impossible to use without losing the Perk.

Speaking of

Radiating from your spine, gunmetal scales appear and grow, spreading outwards to cover your entire body. As they take shape, different variations can be found: the scales across your back, shoulders and thighs are thicker with prominent osteoderms and ridges, while more uniform scales spread outwards across your limbs, and towards your front neck, chest, belly and crotch are smoother, softer scales, not much different than the thick skin you once had.

As the tingling subsides, you take a good look at your newly textured dermis. Your thick hide has now grown equally thick scales, making you worthy of the Dreadscale namesake!

I forgot, but the game actually outright states this upon obtaining the perk. So yea, this is intended.
