Inject Genes

Description
Updated to 1.6, should still work with 1.5 and 1.4.




Features

This mod adds the ability for pawns to simply use a genepack in order to gain whatever gene or genes is inside as Xenogenes.
However, doing so causes them to collapse in a "Xeno germination Coma" for 2 days and destroys the genepack in the process. So if you plan on adding more genes into your pawn, it might be more beneficial to use the gene assembler.

If you wish to change Xenogenes to Germline/Endogenes instead, you can do so in the mod settings. Default is set to Xenogenes. Does not need a restart to take effect.



Compatibility

The mod shouldn't have an issue with other mods.
However, custom made genepacks will not have this function on. I will have to add support for them.


Supported so far:
Alpha Genes.
Split Genes.
WVC - Xenotypes and Genes.

Let me know if there are others I should add support for.



FAQ

Q: Will this overwrite a xenotype?
A: Nope. It will just add in genes without deleting anything.

Q: Can you get duplicates genes on your pawn?
A: Nope. If there is a gene in the genepack that the pawn already has, they will not be able to use it.

Q: Is this a new item?
A: No. This is a feature I added to the genepack already in game. No item has been added.

Q: Can I remove the gene it added, if I accidentally added the wrong one?
A: No sorry, you'll have to use another mod that enables that. Mine just lets you add genes.

Q: Can I switch Xenogenes to Germline/Endogenes and visa versa instead?
A: Yup! Just enable Germline/Endogenes in the mod settings and you are good to go. Does not need a restart. Default is Xenogenes.

Q: Compatibility with HAR (Humanoid Alien Races)?
A: I am not sure. I know HAR now has the ability to block genes on a race but whenever this mod will respect that, I do not not. I don't use HAR and haven't had a chance to test it, sorry.
However, injecting a pawn with a gene is user directed, so just don't inject it into your race.

Q: Can I reduce the Xenogermination Coma?
A: No. My mod doesn't touch that section, you'll need a different mod. You can use this Xenogermination Coma Accelerator.

Можешь ли сделать патч чтобы при вживление ксено-семени они не перезаписывались? В плане по сути та же функция твоего аддона только при вживление ксено-семени другие ксено-гены не будут перезаписываться

@MerLatus The error is about mod settings. Try and clear the mods settings for both mods then redo them.

Why are the two completely unrelated mods, Inject Genes and MAZ Mass Assign Zone, incompatible and causing errors? When I load both mods, this error appears in player.log: https://pastebin.com/kLbrFRGK

Is is possible to make this function on an injector gene? I'm trying to make a lycanthropy xenotype that doesn't overwrite the existing genes when implanted.

That was a mod called "Inject Genes Retexture" that I had yesterday, but today it's gone, not in my modlist nor on steam anymore. Anyone know what happened? It was for this mod btw
