- Added 2 new hivemind genes - Shared skills and shared needs. The first two genes from the hive mind series. They synchronize the skills and needs of pawns. Their effectiveness depends directly on the size of the hive mind.
- Added new hivemind gene - Hivemind drone. Mark pawn as part of hivemind.
- Added new chimera sub-gene - Hive xeno-increased. Increases the gene limit relative to the hive mind size.

Changes:
- Precept shapeshifter renamed => genetic focus. + New icon (Ideology DLC)
- Updated icon for Shapeshifter meme. (Ideology DLC)
- Void hunger met stat has been nerfed +6 => +2
- Removed the traders sell serums option. Because it duplicates the Disable genetic stuff option.
- Option Flat genes selection weight replaced with => General genes rarity. And now it is a slider that allows you to adjust the rarity of genes.
- Meme Undead reworked. Now instead of the gene, it checks whether the pawn was resurrected.
* This change does not take into account pawns that were resurrected BEFORE this change, keep this in mind.
* Meme Undead renamed => Resurrected. + icon update
* Now development points are awarded for any resurrection that occurred on the map. Regardless of the source and owner.
- Post-recruit and post-convert now support general reimplanters.
* The implanter genes supporting these subgenes now have a clarification about this.
- Resurgent genes were removed from the Sandycat geneset.
- Anomaly genetic gene rework. Now this gene simply increases metabolism and turns the pawn into a ghoul upon death.
* This gene now requires the Anomaly DLC, as without the anomaly it does nothing.
- Now option "Enable over-overriadable mechanics" enabled by default.

Fixes:
- Fixed a bug where the Notify_LifeStageStarted trigger could fire before the game started.
