I'm looking to turn one of my current pets into a Steamwork Yaherra (absolutely adore the intricate details in the design). I just have a quick question (as I've never turned pets Steamwork before - my only Steamwork pet was adopted).

In order to change an existing pet to a specific Steamwork/Species combo, does the pet need to be the exact species as the Schematic? Or would the Schematic automatically change the pet to the right specie?

E.g. would I need to change the target pet to a Yaherra first, then do the change at Full Steam Ahead with the schematic and key? Or it doesn't matter what specie the current pet is, I can just bring it and it will change both color/species?

Also - my understanding is the Gear gender is only available if the pet was created from scratch, so any existing pets with a gender will not have their gender change to Gear?

Sorry if this was already asked and answered previously. I might have missed this detail when Steamwork pets were originally announced.

Thanks for your time 💕
