Gene Extractor Tiers

This mod adds improved versions of the gene extractor which will extract genes from a characters until you've extracted every gene available. An improved version can also extract archite genes.

At default settings it will extract one gene every 8 days without applying Genes Regrowing. You can simply leave a character in there and as long as the power doesn't go out, and they have food, gene packs will keep being produced.

If there is no food or power is cut they will die after 2 days, same as with the vanilla Biotech Growth Vats.



The mod contains Gene Vat Extractors. You load a character into the vat and supply it with nutrition. The vat will then slowly extract genes from the person in the vat, preferring genes you don't have singles of (a gene pack with that gene and nothing else).

The Vat can spawn one of three types of genepacks.

• Singlepack [40%]: A gene pack with a single gene you don't already have in a singlepack
  
• Multipack [45%]: A gene pack with 2-4 genes, at least one of which will be one you don't have in a singlepack.
  
• Megapack [15%]: A gene pack with 3-16 genes, but otherwise as per the above.

If the extraction is too slow you can speed it up at the cost of additional resources.


The AI-Core Gene Extraction Vat lets you select which gene to extract. This option can be enabled for all extraction vats in the mod options if you prefer.

What is our gene-lab going to do with all these baseliners? Shame we can't grab some "human hands" from them to fix our clumsy pigskin medic...


If a baseliner (or pawn with nothing but hair and skin genes) is thrown into the improved gene extractors from this mod you will get special "Baseliner" genes from them.

Most of these genes can only be obtained from the extractor and the rest are very rare in trader/lab inventories.

Trade your spare genes or archite capsules for a few of these little prefab buildings. They contain a few irremovable genes from an unknown benefactor. No refunds.

These buildings are intended as a way to get a few common genes such as the poor, or awful skill genes, and get you started building xenotypes in the early game. A few of the archite-paid modules have some slightly more unusual genes though (especially with B&S in your modlist).



By default it takes 8 days to extract a gene. This can be changed to any value.

You can change the percentage chance of each genepack to spawn.

You can change whether all extractors can target specific genes, or just the AI-Core version.

Compatible with Vanilla Nutrient Paste Expanded so you can pour that highly efficient nutrient goop straight into their veins! ...er, or however that works.

More Gene Nodes

"Tired of hunting down exotic traders to find they are selling genes for orange skin, pig tails, and a weapon affinity for... Conversion Staff? We've got a prefect solution tailored for you!" - recoding found in abandoned VIPER lab

This addon mod adds significantly more gene nodes with pre-set collections of genes to use in your gene assembler. Unlike the ones from this mod the addon mod it does actually contain some of the really rare and useful genes. The cost for those can as you'd expect be quite steep.

New art by Phaneron!

Also a Tier 3 version that runs at 250% speed but requires an AI Persona Core and more Archite to craft.


Well, okay, I 'sort of' made the Tier 3, but I mostly just stole Phaneron's art from the T1 & T2.

Added an option to split non-metabolic genes upon extraction into their own genepacks. This generally means cosmetic genes will end up in their own genepacks.
