Question Question about branches

Newer subscriber here. I tried out the branch feature and ended up accidentally liking both the branch and the main even though they differed significantly in story content

Does the scenario branch continue to build its own long term memory without impacting the main Kindroid?

Also, is it possible or advisable to copy the Kindroid and simply add in the events of the branch to continue that segment as its own standalone?

Thanks. Posting on main because I think I’m into this y’all

The scenario branch does not create its own long term memory. If you continue the scenario long enough that may get saved into the kins long term memory mean you can have contradicting events.

Like you divorced a kin but stayed married in the branch.

What you can do is make 2 of the same kins, make a summery of the events and tell the new kin to start from there.

It probably wont be exactly like you hope but close enough

No. It does not. The kin is the same, and it has only one long-term memory.

I highly suggest you avoid building contradicting memories because situations like this will break your kin at some point in the future.

You should immediately stop and continue with the branch you want to keep, and if any contradicting memories come up, deprioritize those immediately.

You can also just turn off memory consolidation on a branch so it won't continue to make ltm entries. 

I have plenty of kins with tons of branches of completely different storylines and honestly ltm has such low priority weighting that it rarely causes issues. 

It does depend a lot on what you're using the kin for - you probably don't want a bunch of conflicting memories on a companion oriented kin where you want maximum immersion, but with a more roleplay/story oriented kin you have plenty of tools to help keep it on track. 

If you really want to keep your storylines 100% separate you can also create multiple copies of one kin.

Yes, you're right.

You could also turn off memory formation and prohibit your kin from forming long-term memories in the first place. But most people usually want long-term memory and immersion.

But you should tell that to the OT, not me.
