[DW] Simple Dwarves - Xenotype + Dwarf Faction

You should be looking at Stoneborn

REQUIRED: Biotech
Vanilla friendly!
Currently in development
06/11 I've had to roll back some development, since something broke without my realization. If you've had problems please try the update, I apologize for any broken saves. :(

Want to add your own xenotype as a faction? I wrote a guide on reddit!

Adds Simple Dwarves. Turns out dwarves are just fat humans with beards, who knew.
Also check out my other mod: Simple Elves and Simple Orcs (SOON)

This mod does the following:

1) Adds a new xenotype, roughly based on generic dwarf fantasy from Tolkien, DnD, etc.
This Xenotype uses only vanilla genes. The genes are balanced around 0 metabolism, meaning they eat as much as a baseline human.

2) Adds a new faction, a Dwarf faction based on the Rough Outlander Template. This faction is hostile to you at the beginning, but can be befriended. This means that you'll be able to trade and interact with Dwarves even if you don't play this race.

3) If you have Ideology: The Dwarf Faction will have a randomly generated ideology, with Tunneler as a must. It also doesn't generate with Male/Female Supremacy, since I don't think dwarves really care about the difference. If you don't have Ideology, no worries, it works fine without.

4) For flavor, I managed to add a namelist for Dwarf factions and settlements. There's also a pawn name generator for the dwarf factions, check it out! Note: There is a bug that causes a pawn to *rarely* spawn with a default name. If you know the cause, please let me know.

I made this mod mostly because I don't need much more than this out of the DLC. I have tinkered with mods before but never tried to make one myself before, so beware.

Recommended mods:
Offspring Inherit Xenogenes - This is needed so children don't lose half their genes.
No Forced Trait With Genes - This makes sure your pawn doesn't lose a trait slot when they get an overlapping trait, like jogger for example.

Known bug: If you generate a world, quit to menu, and generate a new world, the worldgen is bugged. It does not bug when you generate the first time. If you have this bug: close game, re-open.

Currently working on adding: Halflings, Goblins.
Feel free to request more races!
