Hi all! I have a question about the inoculator, mostly when I put drones in it and want to inoculate a trait, it usually only takes 2 charges and the bee is done, but when I put a princess in there 4 charges can be drawn and it keeps going. should I let it continue, or is the inoculator bugged?

It's working fine, it was nerfed slightly so you couldn't get infinite traits off a single bee, and princesses have been shown to be superior to drones, so it makes sense you get more charges from them

Edit: slight error, for whatever reason i mixed up inoculator with isolater

That's not exactly what he's doing - he's not isolating traits, but inoculating them.
Still, I agree that something like that might be what's going on, although I'd like to get a more expert opinion first.

It's not a bug, sometimes (if you are unlucky) you need 4-5 charges to inject a trait to a bee (since you need to inject both inactive and active traits). Not sure about the difference between drone and princess but usually took me like 5-7 charges to inoculate a pair of bee.

I know now, it picks randomly between the inactive and active traits. so really lucky and it takes 2 charges for each bee, really unlucky and a bee never gets fully inoculated ;)

It's a random chance with the inoculator, you might get lucky, and you might. Most bees will be around 2 or 3 though.
