Wish you could set minimum metabolic efficiency to something larger than -5 :/

@Timo4545 and @QeoJin, I presume you may have figured this out by now but for some reason the minimum metabolic efficiency requires a restart to change

Great mod, thanks a lot.

I cant seem to bring the minimum metabolic efficiency below -10, same issue as @Timo4545

@freesabird

What you want is not the increase the parents metabolic efficiency (unless it also applies to the unborn child) but instead lower the cost of metabolic efficiency of some of these genes.

Doesn't have to be 0, could be -1 or -0.5. That gives you more room for the kid to produce the traits necessary to be born.

@Freeasabird

No this mod won't help with that at all.
The way pregnancy work is that the kid rolls between -3 and 3 for their metabolic efficiency.

But the pregnancy will fail if the kids parents push it over the -5 to 5 interval.

The way that can happen is that the parents have enough different germline gene to push the positives or negatives of inherited genes beyond the +5/-5 range.

If the kid rolls a -3 and the next germline gene from the dad adds -2, then the kid is stuck with -5 and have no more space for the rest of the germline genes and can't be shaped,

I'm a bit busy with other projects atm, but I'll see about taking a look at this breeding issue.

You and me both old man, I can't seem to find any. Either that or a gene that disables hunger entirely.

so, with this will my middlingly modified race be able to breed now? because if GC is over a mere 5 you can't breed.

All I want is a mod that has a single button that sets all metabolic values for all genes to 0.

This says it should add 5 extra complexity by default but I'm getting much more. I had 34 complexity maximum before installing this mod. Now I have 510. The setting box says 0 in the mod options as well by default. Not sure how to actually set it to 0. It can't be negative.

I can't seem to set it lower than -10

Conversely is there a way to reduce maximum negative metabolic efficiency?

All my pawns are busy raising 7 kids with 200x hunger rate due to inheriting genes

Any chance the maximum metabolism gets increased?
cant have pregnancy if add too many positive genes.

Released an update that refactored BiostatRange related code... again. This should help with a soft-incompatibility with some mods that repeatedly calling BiostatRange.
Please take me off of your performance shit-lists 😢.

@Roderik Yup it does

so does this mod allow a genetically enhanced demi god to have children or we still have the metabolism / complexity who prevent any pregancy I would like to make a giga chad playtrough where he make a army of his offspring

@Jonesy Fox should be with the rest, the menu entry is just called 'More Gene Complexity'

I can't seem to find a mod settings page for this in the options. How am I supposed to adjust the numbers exactly?

Thank you so much for this!!

@BIONDO931, ah ok, for min, this mod kinda solves that. But shall check for maximum

i believe If the metabolism is lower or higher by 5 for a xenotype you can't have Pregnancy

@BIONDO931, unless I'm mistaken it doesn't matter what the max is?

can you add a max metabolic effeciency value?

@Phaneswalker Adds tweakable (in your settings) values to max gene complexity and for min metabolic effeciency.

What does this mod do in detail?

I agree with Arquebus. This mod is explicitly for biotech and gene inheritance since the base system does not handle offspring inheriting genes from two different xenotypes very well, especially with high complexity custom xenotypes.

@Recipient Lumber why the gatekeeping? Why tell how other people need to play? This mod is for people who want to interact with the biotech systems, but wish to have slightly more freedom from the restrictions in place. If you don't want to use this mod, then don't.

Just use the dev mode if you want an OP character

That metabolism efficiency thing, I love you man.

does this mod have chinese?

Pushed an update that included an implementation of my newest mod Mod Icons, adding an icon to the mod entry in the loading screen. As always, please let me know if you see any bugs!

Thanks for the answer)

@hottt3 Rimworld is such a moddable title because it is very robust. This mod won't be breaking your game from a functional perspective and I leave balance concerns up to the user.
In regards to your second and third questions, no, rimworld spawns set xenotypes. This mod is mainly for when creating your own xenotypes to spawn in or for gene manipulation during gameplay.

Thanks for the great mod! If I set gene complexity to 100, would it break the game? Will pawns be generated with more genes? What will happen?

@Rhagius default biostats for the mod are +5 complexity and -10 for metabolic efficiency

There is no option in mod settings for restore default values and i don't remember what they are, any help? xD

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the implant genes ability. I think it only plants the rigid xenogenes and not the other genes. Maybe someone has made a mod that changes this to work how I would expect.

I've done that, will wait until they attempt it again, set it on try for baby. In the meantime I have another issue, not sure if it's related. Tried to implant genes using the special injector organ but it says "already has the baseliner xenotype". The enhanced gene people were created with Prepare Carefully. Any ideas?

@Рlαγζr 🐵 I fixed this bug ages ago. For some reason the steam workshop sometimes doesn't properly update your files. Please try unsubscribing from the mod then resubscribing. If it's still happening, there may be some kind of mod conflict going on, in which case I'll need some logs :)

I have some OP genes and have run into this issue. Pregnancy failed: Combined genes exceeded metabolism limit. Anyone know a solution to this that'll let me make super babies?

So I realize now after playing more that I misunderstood what this mod did xD
I thought this removed the metabolic efficiency which it doesn't and that's entirely on me. I'm just stupid and can't read.

two questions is it safe to add mid game and is this compatible faster gene recovery?

@Sariten clone extractor is from the Biotech Cloning mod right? This mod uses harmony patches on the vanilla codebase. If that mod does not use that code to calculate gene complexity stuff, then the new limits wont be changed on their mod.

Hey guys, i added this mod to my world and it doesnt work. At least, it doesnt worl for "Clone Extractor". The is still a limit that cannot be changed no metter what. Dont know what to do rly. Could anyone help?

No errors, noting

@Vibrating Dictionary Both really, though vanilla already gives you the option of ignoring limits when you are starting a game.

Ok not sure if I've done something wrong or if I've just misunderstood. Does this mod work on brand new games allowing you to make custom xenotypes from the get go? Or does it only work when creating them later during the game?

@Arquebus nice tnx, good mod.

@Игрок done. Rainoa is basically right. This mod only changes some data limits in the background, nothing visual, so nothing major to show.

i think the only photo that he could add would be of a mod options menu?
