Hey,
I just got towards deploying my first Xyhiphoe farm and cycle.

I noticed with the first recipe > you get 3 larvae out of 2 Xyhiphoe via reproductive complex but only a 80% chance output from 2 larvae to 1 new Xyhiphoe in the farm.

As per last change log, the cycle was updated.

Is it intended that the stage 1 recipe is not self sustaining? Or bugged?

Hello,
I noticed the same after the last update.
It's too bad because it was our main source of arthropod blood, required for the vanadium chain. At this stage of the game the only alternatives are zipir or arqad, both being vastly inferior solutions.
Any hope of a fix coming soon? If not I will probably edit the files manually.

More details: the change happened on line 28 of "recipes-xyhiphoe-raising.lua. The recipe output of 2.0.8

                    results ={{name='xyhiphoe-cub', amount = 3}, {name='xyhiphoe', amount =2},},

became in 2.0.9 and 2.0.10:

                    results ={{name='xyhiphoe-cub', amount = 3},},

So now there are 2 recipes in the cycle : a 2:3 and a 2:0.8, for a total cycle yield of 2:1.2, strictly <1.

This has been fixed in the most recent version.
