- Geneline evolution gene (VRE - Insector) and Insect rally gene (Alpha Genes) prevent “Destroy an Insect hive” aspiration

- If Vanilla Chemfuel Expanded is loaded, Smuggler (VVE) gets 10x fuel capacity (Since you can use stopovers, max range doesn’t affect gameplay enough to justify micro-managements of manually loading Chemfuel per stack, which only happens with VChE.)
- Armoured speed (AG): move speed +0.2 -> +0.3
- Changed the color of Volatile antimatter system hediff (BTEMa) (black -> purple, was almost invisible)

- Colossal degrade (VRE - Insector + VFE - Insectoids 2) also satisfies "Become big" aspiration
- Colossal degrade enable the carrier to use giant weapons from Big and Small

[Important if you have Goji's Fantasy Race: Merren]
- Removed Swift swim gene patch for Nereid (Alpha Genes) and Rotfish
- Replaced Coastal merren’s Swift swim gene with Water striding gene from Alpha Genes

Auto cherry picker has been removing Water striding gene instead of Swift swim gene if Goji's Fantasy Race: Merren is loaded, so you'll likely want to revive it.

Reason: Recently they solved the bug where Shambler with Swift swim gene causes massive errors, but seemingly it resulted in killing the pawn when the carrier of Swift swim gene becomes Shambler (with one time red errors).

[Changes]
- If name changes option is on, slightly adjusts texts of VFE - Ancients so that they are completely nanotech-based and not related to genes. (Prioritize Progression: Genetics: this patch won’t be active if it’s loaded.)
- Made Ancient cryptsleep suspender not buildable by the player like other ancient buildings (VFE - Ancients)

- If Alpha Genes and VRE - Insector is loaded, renames “Hiveling voice” gene to “Insect voice”, and adds it to Insector.
- Added Insector, Coastal merren and Abyssal merren to Shambler xenotypes
- Removed Bogleg and Wretch from Shambler xenotypes (has caused a harmless red error)

- Added compats for new xenotypes (Broodmother, Hive queen) from B&S More Xenotypes

- Removed T4~T6 chip research fix patch for Alpha Mechs (now officially fixed)

[Goji's Fantasy Race: Merren compats]
- Swift swim gene negates Soaking wet thought (for Nereid/Rotfish compatibility: inactive if both aren't loaded)
- Nereid uses Swift swim gene instead of Water striding gene
- Rotfish uses Swift swim gene instead of Humid adaptation gene
- Siren (B&S - LoS) gets Siren song gene
- Fisherman (Vanilla Fishing Expanded) and Ocean lover (VTE) gets Water meditation focus type (this also fixes a bug that everyone has water focus type)

- Pelvic fins gene and Fin ears gene: move speed (in water/rain) +0.1 -> 0 (since they’re free)

- (see above)

- Removed Pathfinding Framework support patch for Merren (now officially supported)

[More enmity compats (req: Beliar Xenotype, Nephilim Xenotype)]
- Halo genes (except False halo and Menacing halo from B&S) , True form (angelic) (B&S), Angel beauty and Angel hands (WVC) triggers Demonic enmity.
- Demon tail genes (AG, B&S, WVC), Demon wings/horn genes (AG, B&S), Bloodfeeder (demon), Demon ears, True form (demonic) genes, Tyrant crown (B&S) and Demon beauty (WVC) triggers Angelic enmity
- Efreet (AG) gets Demonic enmity gene
- Name change option changes gene names to include “demon” or “angel” if and only if they trigger enmity (exception: Enmity genes themselves, Hemogenic and Grace).
- Added “Become a demon” aspiration: accepts any genes which triggers angelic enmity except Hemogenic gene

[New trait-exclusive aspirations]
- “Be bonded to a immortal cat”: exclusive to Cat person (VTE) (req: Alpha Animals)
- “Become a rain bringer”: exclusive to Pluviophile (BofT), Pyrophobic (BofT) (req: Alpha Genes)
