[DW] Simple Elves - Xenotype + Elf Faction

REQUIRED: Biotech
Vanilla friendly!

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

Adds Simple Elves.
Also check out my other mod: Simple Dwarves and Simple Orcs (SOON)

This mod does the following:

1) Adds a new xenotype, roughly based on generic wood elf fantasy from Elder Scrolls, 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, an Elf faction based on the Gentle Tribe Template. This faction is neutral to you at the beginning. This means that you'll be able to trade and interact with Elves even if you don't play this race.

3) If you have Ideology: The Elf Faction will have a randomly generated ideology. If you don't have Ideology, no worries, it works fine without.

4) For flavor, I managed to add a namelist for Elf factions and settlements. I did not figure out how to do this for pawn names. If you know how to do this, 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 Elf-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 ugly 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!
