Question related to budding trait(Solved)/Advice needed related to non-adaptive trait

[makaramus]

Does trait provide assembly speed for different plantoid species with also budding trait
Currently playing as a mushroom hive mind planing to turn every planet in surroundings to either hive or gaia worlds (will decide, not sure yet. Most likely hive worlds to specialize them more) and I got a plantoid neighbor and conquered a native another plant species. I was considering modifying them to have budding but only if they will provide extra assembly speed else I will not do so.

also any advice related to game? I just unlocked gene modding and started my ascension, currently modding my species related to their special planets. My species got -%20 habitabilty but should I remove it or keep it with me until I terraform planets into hive planets.

edit:Just realized I can quickly test this with syncretic evolution origion so... turns out yea multiple species stack on each other wich makes it very interesting
Still... my second question is valin if you are still interested

Given the trait limit, an end-game species with bio ascension should not have negative traits. If you haven't taken all the ascension perks and set a final species, you probably shouldn't be genemodding in my opinion, given the amount of society research you will be spending only to re-mod later. At best, mod a small population and set that as the default assembly pop.
