Version used was 0.9.076

-Using "Maternity" with an Orange Sand-Worm skips the option to keep the hybrid at the nursery. When it happened the first time the hybrid got lost (to the wild?). So I managed it by skipping down in steps (first months, then weeks, then days, then walk the rest off). With the second hybrid it only skipped the option (wild or nursery). While the hybrid got added to the established Hilinara chamber automatically.

-Also using "Maternity" with an Orange Sand-Worm (only pregnancy at the time) triggered the "Fix Belly" button. It's "Size Rating: 0 (+0)" which seems to be the problem. If I also have a womb pregnancy at the same time it didn't trigger.
However, I also had this with single womb pregnancies since, same thing (0 (+0)).

-Also the chamber text says: "A screen on top states that there are currently numToText(): inNum is not defined! of your Hilinara parasite children here, maybe you should visit them."
Note: this starts working once I can talk to the hybrid (which takes about a month).

In-passing:
The same appears on day 1 of the Pollen Dance consequence. Log entry says:
"Quinn, Pregnancy: She has a numToText(): inNum is not defined!-day old son"
Which again fixes itself after some time.

Comment
-Sand-worms are set to off by default. I appreciate free choice, but maybe it should be set to "uncommon" by default. The main arguments are: If I don't know what it is, how can I make a choice if I want it or not? And being undecided I usually go with the default.
Secondly, sand-worms are really easy to get rid of. All it needs is a MediPen.
Sold by: FIRST-14 (Tika for 400C), Mhen'ga (V-KO for 460C), Myrellion (VI, Nursedroid for 460C)
Or visit a nursedroid (who remove parasites). So I'm not seeing a strong reason it needs to be gated as it is.
Anyway, just wanted to point out that "off by default" means that first time players (who can't make a decision) may skip it. Which I think is the wrong way around.
Personally, I skipped this during my first play-through (because I deemed "off" to be the suggested setting) and by now toggle it on each time. Not necessarily because I want it, but because I consider it part of the game. This time I'm going along with it, last time I carried MediPens.
Also, sand-worms are unique fights, and can drop gems*. You can also get a male one and use it as a living dildo. So fighting them is still beneficial (mechanic, loot, mast. options). Which are aspects a player may not want to cancel even if not wanting to host a female one.

*(at least they used to drop kirkite gems... may have changed)

Anyway, I'm not understanding why it's off by default.


Bonus
I think the worms dropping Kirkite was a nice touch, like something crystallized inside them..., made more sense than them dropping mushrooms etc. It also rewarded for the special fight. 2000C, is also not too much (the shrooms are all worth 1000C). Idk, I liked the worms dropping gems... made it special.

But, again this was 0.9.076, some of this may be outdated already.

the nursery is intended to work this way, it is a fast forward to the end of the pregnancy but only with a generic scene regardless of pregnancy type.

i reported and jacques fixed a similar issue with numToText() already as well that may also apply to your situation.

the butt bugs are opt in because not everybody enjoys parasites of that variety, which is why this warning is in place when you check the sign 1702582734169.png
reporting bugs on a version that is coming up on 4 months old is not very helpful, similar to your other post.

Yes, please make sure you are playing in the latest version, if at all possible.

Sand Worm (in 0.9.083)

Beige:
-Maternity does skip Nursery option. Worms lost.
-Walking it off, automatically sends them to the Nursery.

Green:
-Maternity does skip Nursery option. Worms lost.
-Walking it off, offers option (wild or nursery).

Orange:
-Maternity automatically sends them to the Nursery.
-Walking it off, offers option (wild or nursery). Chamber has [numToText(): inNum is not defined]

[Detail: The nursery computer doesn't mention that a biome was created. I didn't thought anything of it, but then saw that it does that for the Water Queen offspring. So I guess, the desert biome for the hilinari is probably supposed to do that, too.]

I created 3 states, one for each worm, and saved to file.
