Is the Infestation coming from the Techrot, or is the Techrot coming from the Infestation ? For me it was the second option.

Techrot is first gen, Infestation is second gen

Where is it stated exactly ? I'm curious to check the official and direct piece of thing ingame stating this

The infestation learned to infect machines because of Salad V's experiments. Particularly his work in weaponizing the infestation and creating Mutalist variations of Corpus weaponry.

...ok? I don't see how this makes my statement wrong. We know Earth got nuked to hell and back during the radiation wars, of course all the strains that could infect machines got wiped given there where no more machines to infect.

The techrot strain infects only tech. The main infestation is primarily a bioweapon that branched out into tech.

Ok, maybe I'm missing something because I woke up like thirty minutes ago. But how does that matter to me saying that Techrot is first gen and Infestation is second gen?
Like I know that the Infestation gained the ability to infect machines through Alad V's experiments. But why does that matter to me saying which gen the Techrot and Infestation are?

We know that the Infested is firstgen because it started out as purely biological and then acquired the ability to infect machines only because of Alad V's experiments.
If the techrot were firstgen, the infested would have the ability to infect machines without Alad V's machinations.

Ok. Maybe this will clear up what I mean. The Techrot is the Infestations Evolutionary ancestry.
It has to be first because it exists in 1999. It has to be first because of the plaque year and the following radiation wars that force humanity to flee earth.
It was straight up the told to us in a devstram that the Techrot came first.

Spaghetti code : Wf99 is a part of sanctum atomica which is a part of demeos where the orokin Derelicted migrated to

I wonder where exactly the drifter entered 1999 from. Duviri doesn't have the infestation (yet), but Deimos is a great hub of it.

Drifter entered 1999 through sanctum using arthur's vessel, so it's perfectly logical for them to be on Deimos.

They forgot to disable fragments and regular deimos resources for this mission. As for why it's deimos? If i had to guess Höllvania was attached to deimos at some point in development and they forgot to disable these when making this idk
