I am implementing a couple of species from the Ryoko book for personal use, but the issue I am running into is that when I give them a climb speed equal to walking speed, somehow the system decides I want swim speed?
In this one I tried following advice I found on a forum that said set innate climb speed to 0. On that one the species now has a swim speed of 30 and no climb speed (walk speed 30).
On this one, I tried setting innate climb speed by leaving the value blank. That species has a climb speed of 35 as intended, but also has a swim speed of 30 (walk speed 35).
Hi, I have no access to your creations, but I had speed issues too, and I spent a lot of time trying every possible combinations. Now, I'm pretty sure of my answer, even if it doesn't solve enterely your problem: - about climb speed, the right way is the second one: setting "innate climb speed" and leaving the fixed value blank - about swim speed, it seems there is another modifier which sets that speed to 30; please, check your trait and all traits and options of your species, to see where is the swim speed modifier to delete; one thing is sure: no climb speed modifiers (set speed, set innate speed, bonus speed) can modify swim speed.

I created this one from scratch, but I still went in a checked every trait and modifier in the parent species and both sub species and there is nothing that touches the swim speed. I am going to just try to completely delete and recreate the speed traits and see if it just needs a hard reset, but it'll probably take dndbeyond a while to update everything (I usually have to wait a while between update to see if they worked).
I deleted and remade the speed traits. I double checked every modifier in the parent and sub species.
For the species with a 30 foot walking speed, the only modifier is:
Modifier Type: Set
Modifier Subtype: Innate Speed (Climbing)
For the Species with a 35 foot walking speed the two modifiers are:
Modifier Type: Set
Modifier Subtype: Walking Speed
Fixed Value: 35
And:
Modifier Type: Set
Modifier Subtype: Innate Speed (Climbing)
Both species show the proper walking and climbing speeds (30 and 35 respectively). Both species still show a 30 foot swim speed.
Just out of curiosity I also made a copy of the orc species and gave it a climbing speed and that worked properly, so the system does work as intended. My only thought is that it could be a single-instance bug or it could be an issue somehow with subspecies?
After looking around forums a bit, I believe it probably comes down to Wizards not supporting subspecies/races as being something that exists anymore, so they probably are not doing any sort of bug fixing or support to that aspect of the toolkit. I probably just need to build them as two fully separate species.

I tried it two different ways:

I'm sorry I can't help you...
I'm thinking there's one last thing you could check: in your species' "basic information", is a Swim Speed value set?
I feel very silly: yes it was. Good looking out!
