RE: I am so frustrated with Confettis I wish I was seeing Red!
My estimate of the odds is around 1:8 (perhaps 1:10 or 1:12).
There is no error in the programming.
1:4 odds would defeat one of the purposes of Confetti: to have a low-enough birth rate that the population does not explode and drive prices down.
Perfect balance would be a bit more than 1 Confetti offspring per parent (or, a bit more than 2 in the 121 days, since you need a pair). But, remember: it's random. So even if the odds were perfectly set, there would be some people getting none, or only one, and some people getting more than two. The maths get complex. As I said above, you really only have a choice of being too low (leading to extiction) or too high (leading to explosive growth and crashing prices). And trying to tweak things is probably much worse than leaving them as they are.
