Description

Features

- More than 250 new genes. Some are very low impact, while some are truly game changing.
- 14 new xenotypes with wild mechanics.
- A new "Custom random" xenotype that allows you to make new player created xenotypes, and have them loaded into two new custom factions.
- Abandoned Biotech labs quests, similar to the ones in VE Genetics, that give access to all the new genes during play.
- Genetic tools that allow you to tweak your colonists' genes. Obtainable through lab quests or normal quest rewards.

A list of genes can be found on this Google Docs document. Bear in mind Steam will probably censor this link as always: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CtbPQq6rouj-7lhVWQdJz4ysWFtxvly1yTYiZ-Si1a4/edit?usp=sharing

A: No, though a couple more genes will be added if you have them too

Q: Can I suggest a new gene?
A: Without a doubt! Please use the pinned Suggestions thread or I may not see it

Q: Is it compatible with another mod that adds genes?
A: Depends on what genes such mod adds. Generally speaking, yes. I only assure compat with VE mods

Q: Does this work with Combat Extended?
A: It should

Q: Reeeeeee, this is bloat!
A: I'm rubber, you are glue

Any plans for adding "aerofleet leather" and "aerofleet flesh" to the Aerofleet xenotype? I've done it myself through RIMMSqol but if it's planned for the mod to do it on it's own, I'll have to keep an eye so I revert the RIMMSqol changes I've applied to my game.

Just remembered to comment back on this, and yes making custom insectors is absolutely the plan (first one will be inspired by your black hive insects hehehe)

I will say though would it be possible to have, say, a way for this mod to detect insectors and add genes to them like "insect voice" or "chitin leather" or something like that just so it feels more cohesive? This is very much a nitpick ask so no worries if you'd rather spend your time on other goals, just wondering from my end cause I'd rather not mess around too extensively with cherry picker if I can avoid it

So Sting Xenogenes is considered violent now? Just found out the hard way, made a hive cast xenotype that's harmless and sterile but can sting xenogenes and found out I couldn't make a prisoner said caste that way...

Sadge, it makes sense in hindsight but it hadn't been set up that way back when I used it back in 1.4. Oh well.

Is there a way of making the lab quests less frequent? I literally get them back-to-back.

Hello! I had a man in black with a randomized set of genes and the xenotype description "a unique human variant with a set of xenogenes that do not fall into any known xenotype". The xenotype was called Kill-vox which I assume is just a game randomized name; is this a feature from this mod or something that can actually happen in vanilla biotech?

hello, rusted biotech lab walls don't allow building wall lamp/wall torch. i didn't think this was a mod conflict, but can report in the usual way if so - otherwise, could you possibly update? and thanks for all the hard work boss

It literally isn't. It checks for the gene using the HasActiveGene method that was recently added to the game
Sarg Bjornson  [author] Jun 8 @ 9:13am 
It's intended that they get them, but why is it a permanent change to the pawn?
