Genes & YOU.

[DarkRaven]

Or well. Me.

Question, can I add genes one by one or do I have to make a huge cookie and implant it all in one go?

One huge cookie.
Once you give a pawn a xenogram they get a debuff that lasts 2years before they can change again.
And after that 2 years, you can give them a new xenogram to replace all existing xenotraits with the new ones, even if the new one has just 1 gene then all the old ones are replaced by that 1 gene.

Implanting a new xenogene wil overright all of the ones that were installed previously, so the "huge cookie" is the answer.

But as you collect the ones you want you can implant them, and you can continue to combine them into a bigger cookie each time that you get more that you want into a bigger cookie.

The only limitation is the "gene regrowth" cooldown, which can be anywhere from 10ish days to 2 years. No idea what is the determining factor in how long it takes.

Thank you, couldn't find any info on this little detail.

Each time you implant a xenogerm it erases the previous one, it acts like a prothesis you can't have 2 hearts.

That debuff is for extraction, not implantation.
