v2.0.7

Changes compared to 2.0.6, excluding intermediate updates.

Feature:
- Chimera can now copy genes of "baseline human" from pawns. Like ears, nose, forehead.
- Scenarios have been updated. You can now choose a chimerkin xenotype. In each scenario, chimerkins will receive several genes unique to the selected scenario.
* The xenotype must be chosen manually, as the randomizer will not choose it automatically.
- Shapeshifter precepts now take into account other category genes, such as morpher and chimera.
- One man army precept now gives development points for being alone without rituals (Shapeshifter meme).

Changes:
- Changed the calculation of genes regrowing time when implanting genes by chimera. The total time was reduced, but each archite gene is calculated as 3 normal ones.
* Now sets with archite genes will have a cooldown several times longer than sets without archites.
- Deathresting pawns are now ignored for One man army and Recluse precepts (Shapeshifter meme).
- Updated the mechanics of the "blood psylink" gene. Now it is tied to hemogen instead of the psylink level.

Fixes:
- Optimized precepts for mechanoid labor. Now they are updated once per game day, for all pawns, and not for each one separately every few seconds.

Warnings:
-

v2.0.6

Changes compared to 2.0.5, excluding intermediate updates.

Feature:
- Added new triggers for the morpher: Hemogen, Psyfocus (Royalty DLC) and Monolith (Anomaly DLC).
- Added a special menu for genes that have a switch (ex. Holoeye, Falselink, Bloodeater, Rechargeable, Dustogenic, Wings, etc.). The button to call this menu will be displayed if the pawn has any of the supported genes.
* This change does not apply to genes that have their own separate gizmo (ex. Golemlink) or that have an active switch (ex. Invisibility).
* This should slightly increase performance and reduce bloat.

Changes:
- Now the morpher will have a lower chance of choosing the same xenotype that the pawn had before the morph. Does not affect cases with a fixed chance.
- Morpher trigger genes have been renamed => (name) trigger
- Morpher trigger randomizer updated. Triggers should now better match the new xenotype.
- Updated scenarios. Removed pawnkinds and added code to set xenotypes.
- Dead stomach mechanics rolled back to the old version. Since disabling food need causes bugs, despite the fact that it is used in the anomaly dlc..
- Genemaker can now be disabled. It is also now disabled by default.
- Genemaker has been nerfed, match requirement increased to 80%.
- Dryad queen now also increases hunger rate factor based on the number of dryads.

Fixes:
- The digestor gene (a Chimera subgene) has been nerfed and limited to genes that spawn in vanilla genpacks.
- Added additional conditions for genes that can restore body parts, they should no longer trigger instant death if the pawn's HP is too low.
- Significantly optimized the birth quality improvement mechanics. Now the mod no longer affects performance when opening the dialog window of the corresponding ritual.

Warnings:
- Since dead stomach was rolled back to the old version, for the changes to take effect it needs to be removed and added again. Use the "Fix broken genes types" option from the mod settings.

v2.0.5

Changes compared to 2.0.4, excluding intermediate updates.

Feature:
- Added "post-brainwash" gene. Recruits a target resurrected by a post-implanter, if possible.
- Added new gene - Morpher. More info on the mod wiki[github.com].

Changes:
- Post-implanter genes have been nerfed. They no longer recruit pawns upon resurrection. This feature has been moved to a separate gene.
- Resurgent blood renamed => resurgent bleeding.
* The blood recolor feature has also been removed as it does not work as intended. As soon as I find a solution to the problem, the effect will be added back.
- Updated descriptions of resurgent genes to be more vanilla-style.
- The tick frequency of the resurgent resource has been significantly reduced. Since it is not used often enough to have a frequent tick.
- Now the Dead Stomach gene disables the need for food, instead of replenishing it.
- Updated the undead xenotype. The hidden mechanics of the morph have been moved to the gene and added to the xenotype's genset.
- Removed the "Chimera min copy chance" option because it was no longer needed. Chimera gene should now have more reasonable copy chances, without prioritizing vanilla genes.
- The Eternal hunger gene should now automatically deactivate itself if the pawn lacks food need.

Fixes:
- Fixed a bug where some old saves could have problems loading abilities.
- Fixed a bug where the xenosculpter was available to players outside of test mode.
* If you were using it for some reason, download the previous version of the mod on github and destroy it before switching to this version.

Feature:
- Shapeshifter now supports custom xenotypes.
