In the rule anatomy change:

Egg Sack: An egg sack may spend one of each nutrient listed in Nutrients to lay an egg cluster in the cell the creature is in, if that cell contains no neighbors that are not seaweed and the organ’s creature’s satisfaction level is Fulfilled. Its state is unfertilized, it has no fathers yet, its cell is the current cell, and its mother is the organ that laid it. Laying an egg cluster fulfills Procreation Drive.

To:

Egg Sack: An egg sack may spend one of each nutrient listed in Nutrients to lay an egg cluster in the cell the creature is in, if that cell contains no neighbors that are not seaweed, and either the organ’s creature’s satisfaction level is Fullfilled, or its procreation drive is higher than or equal to all other moods. Its state is unfertilized, it has no fathers yet, its cell is the current cell, and its mother is the organ that laid it. Laying an egg cluster fulfills Procreation Drive.

and change:

Dart Sack: An organ in this state may, as a daily action, consume one nutrient to fertilize an egg cluster in the state of “unfertilized” that is in the same location as that organ’s creature if the organ’s creature’s satisfaction level is Fulfilled. No organ may fertilize an egg cluster of which it is the mother. When an organ fertilizes an egg cluster, that organ’s name is added as a father to that egg cluster. Fertilizing an egg cluster fulfills Procreation Drive.

really, the existing rule is quite tricky.

I sort of intended it to be tricky. You might have to become a gland again if you raised procreation drive prematurely. Also, if your proposal passes well have a way to lower it.

Also thanks for the heads-up, I didn’t see the bolded part and my last fertilization of egg 2 was illegal, I’ll roll it back

Actually, I’ll just do it now…

Double actually: not having done that invalidates your own recent fertilization. We can avoid a CfJ with the following solution: if we roll back those actions, we’ll be at Procreation 2, Satisfaction 3; if I instead of changing into a dart sack, had instead changed into a Choanocyte and gave egg 3 Blonium, then we’d be at Pro 1, Sat 4; then if you instead of giving it Blonium had given it Gonium, we’d be at Pro 0, Sat 5 as we are now. The state changes would be: giving you a blonium back and taking a gonium from you, egg 2 loses my fertilization, egg 3 becomes “Needs Nonium”. If you’re down, I’m down.
