//Using nubots to assist with apomictic parthenogenesis, and to solve the issue the logistic challenge of same-sex procreation, reproduction is not constrained by biological limits. After fertilisation through parthenogenesis, the nubots quickly decay and are removed from the system so they do not hinder the development of the child.//

Instead of just enabling same-sex procreation, this technology enables 'home pregnancy kits' which allow wide-scale deployment. Depending on species some pairings are still difficult to support due to other biological constraints. I.e., for mammals, a womb is required for the development of the embryo.

This technology allows the construction of the [[Same-sex Reproduction Catalysts]] special project.
