What if I add both [MALE] and [FEMALE] to a creature's tags? Will they be able to create offspring by themselves, or will it just act like they are genderless?
Answered.
New question: Is there any way to make hermaphrodite reproduction?

[Nahere]

Whichever is added last will be used, the other will be ignored.

[ShadowHammer]

Ah. Darn. Is there anyway that I can cause hermaphrodite reproduction?

[4maskwolf]

Nope.

[Octobomb]

Yes, but it's complex and stupid and heals all injuries too.
Transform the creature into one of 3 parts. Make the middle part evaporate. Ressurrect the end bit and transform it into a 'baby' (but with all the abilities of an adult), then transform back. So, not that I know of, really.

[ShadowHammer]

Ok, thanks. Looks like that's that for cave blob breeding programs. I know I could add a male and female caste, but that would kind of ruin the point of a big single celled cave creature. Oh well.

You can do it with scripts. give the genderless creature a self-targetted interaction that has a wait time of a year (or how often they should reproduce), which triggers the script "SyndromeTrigger", and runs "spawnunit BLOB_ID caste-numer name". The blob will spawn a new blob every time he does the interaction. You could do even one that floods your fort with a blobs-plosion, a hundret times worse than cats.

Its a bit more complex to set up, but totally doable.
