Please check the known issues and working-as-intended sections before making a report!
This thread is to track any gene errors that occur with the Dusthide dragon breed release This thread is for the newly released Dusthide genes only, and does not encompass previously released genes.
In this thread, players may report any errors they encounter with the new genes. These can be technical errors, or consistency issues. This thread is intended to focus on these potential errors so that they can be addressed swiftly
Please report any errors you encounter and we will do our best to correct them in a timely manner. This thread will close out 45 days after release, on June 1, 2024. After this time, players may report technical issues with these and other gene errors in the Modern Gene Error Backlog Thread, or the Ancient Gene Error Backlog Thread, but further consistency issues will not be accepted for review and will be considered working as intended.
Note that it may take a short while for the site's internal image cache to reflect the corrected image assets.

I will be deleting reports that are not relevant to the Orb and Weaver gene expansion new release, reports that have been corrected, reports are not considered an issue, duplicate reports, and discussion or chatter as I encounter/investigate them to keep the thread current with gene reports only.

Corrected Issues
- Eyes: Arcane Primal for all Dusthide - The inner white part of the runic marking had its size increased. Consistency Issue.
- Eyes: Nature Primal for Dusthide H - The hatchling pose was given the increased flower size that modern hatchlings have. Consistency Issue.
- P Arc: Dusthide F - The facial markings were expanded to spill over the lower jaw a bit more. Consistency Issue.
- P Arc: Dusthide H - A light fade on the knee marking was removed. Technical Errror.
- P Petrified: Dusthide H, M - More noticible color transitions were added to the veins of color to better match those of the F pose. Consistency issue.
- P Wasp: all Dusthide - The claws layering structure was corrected. Technical Error.
- S Marlin: Dusthide H - The line around the edges of the wings has been added in. Technical Error.
- T Carnivore: All Dusthide - The mist shaping was reworked to be closer to the other versions of the gene. Consistency issue.
- T Ghost: Dusthide F - The line across the wing thumb claw has been corrected. Technical issue.
- T Ghost: Dusthide H - The missing spot of color on the front wing thumb pad has been painted in. Technical issue.
- T Glowtail: all Dusthide - The spinal glow in Umber was made to be lighter than the base color. Technical issue.
- T Polkadot: Dusthide F, M - The final claw on the tail had the dark coloring on it removed. There was a partially transparent pixel on the tail marking that was corrected. Technical issue.
- T Okapi: Dusthide F - The tip of the tail plate is now fully opaque. The wing claws were briefly colored in after the fix, which was corrected as well! Technical Error.
- T Okapi: Dusthide H, F, M - The missing neck patterning was restored on the H pose. The neck stripes were redone to better match the modern version of the gene. Some transparency was cleaned up. Technical Error.
- T Ringlets: All Dusthide - The pattern bleed onto the claws was cleaned up. Technical Error.
- T Stained: Dusthide M - The staining was removed from the teeth. Technical Error.
- T Stained: All Dusthide - The staining was expanded to cover the claws to match with other Ancients. Consistency Issue.
- T Topcoat: Dusthide F, H - The pattern bleed onto the thumb wing claw has been removed. Technical issue.
Known Issues
- P Harlequin: Dusthide M - The markings on the belly near the tail could benefit from some additional offset to break up an optical illusion going on. Consistency Issue.
Investigating (Not sure if issue or not)
- Investigating Loop accent color placement.
- Investigating back wing sailfish marking intention, which while on the back wing is technically part of the primary.
Working as intended
- Multi-Gaze & Line-Breaking Tertiaries: Sadly, the multi gaze and line breaking tertiary issue is a technical limitation. Eyes must always layer over the primary, secondary, and tertiary genes, and they are not contextually aware of what is below them and able to alter their shape to accommodate. This is a limitation with all of our dragons that have line breaking tertiaries.
- Dusthide Wings: Primary/Secondary Coverage: It is intended that the secondary gene cover the interior of the wings, while the primary will cover the back of the wings and the plating that runs continuously from head to tail!
- Display and Parade: Like Harlequin and Jester, these genes were designed to be dimorphic and be different for each pose.
- Pachy: is intended to display the belly color of the basic genes across the hexagon shapes and fade on the dome of the helmet.
- Bee: is not intended to show translucent shapes through the wings due to the plating in the primary color being present on the backs of the dragon's wings as the logic.
- The line next to the thumb claw in the wing is indicating the round shape of the "pad" of the wing finger and is part of the line art.
- Augment: The wide accent/glow panel on the Dusthide tail tip is intended to accommodate their larger tails.
- Speckle and Freckle: The size and clustering of speckle and freckle varies quite a bit among moderns and ancients both. The smaller speckle size is considered within the (admittedly wide) range of this gene.
- Shadows: The opacity of the shadow layer is considered working as intended.
- Petrified/Lode: The color choices on this were intended to be variable and I have confirmed with the gene designer that these colors are working as intended.
- Blossom: The sizing on the blossoms is intended.
- Fishbone: The placement of the fishbone on Dusthide M is considered correct.
- Spores: The storm color having blue inner vents and pink spores is considered correct by the gene designer, who had picked the colors used for this gene.
- Veil: The opaque diamond shapes are a feature of the gene and are intended, confirmed by the gene designer.
- Skink/Spinner: The spots on skink and spinner are considered within the acceptable range of variance for the gene.
- Harlequin Black: While incredibly dark black, this is consistent with all modern and ancient versions of the gene.
- Savannah Black: While incredibly dark black, this is consistent with all modern and ancient versions of the gene.
- Falcon/Savannah Tails: The patterns on these cut off above (savannah) or just below the base of the tail (falcon) like the modern dragons do.
