The mod has been updated to 1.6!

@Ghost - I just tested it and it worked. Make sure that the Gene bank is powered and connected to the Gene Assembler

@Torkkar - I don't currently plan to create any more mods. I am pretty busy with work :(

For those checking in, this mod seems to work just fine on the 1.6 unstable.

Heya, this is super late in but how do you implement them in the xenogram making machine? It doesn't come up as an option to add to xenogram when recombining. I have one in a genebank nearby it?

aw hell YEA

I can now have an effective super army that doesn't have to be foodless! :D

hey loving these mods but I've a request for an addon to a mod that would fit in here the mod is VRE - Insectors & its a custom race with a geneline editing feature that works seperate from biotech xenotype editor, it allows us to modify an INDIVIDUAL seperate from the xeno type think Zerg & the difference between Zerglings & Hydrolisks, anyway it'd be nice to have a set of negatives traits added to that that works like this with a minimum of 3 & max of 12 so 3, 6, 9, 12 or so as each gene has a count of 1 & requires 1 negative however its balancing is off & from what I've seen most optimal noncompeting genes number about 6 but there's just not enough non-gimping negs to take to afford that many genes.

I'm begging for a yes here dude its a fun mod but needs a little help from something like what you've made here in these works of art.

@miruem83 - I've made a mod that is similar to this one. I named the mod "Android Reactors", and you can find it easily on my workshop items. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3190456722

Hello. Can you make this applicable to Androids?

How exactly do you get these genes? I can't find them anywhere.

Needs mitochondria mods and parasite eve atp

The mod has been updated for 1.5

Let me know if you encounter any errors.

RimPy will throw a version mismatch error, but it still works in 1.5.

1.5 please

1.5?

nice i need this

FINALLY! My Space Marines shall conquer the Rim!

Nanomachines, son!

Finally I can slowly and organically make the most insanely OP pawn I've always wanted without creating one at the start of the game.

@groovybluedog Adds genes similar to that of biotech, that increase the metabolic efficiency at the cost of complexity. If you don't understand that this means, you haven't played with the biotech. it's a main feature of that dlc.
I don't understand what is unclear about this mod..

I'm unclear with what this mod does :o

nice

@nazminprince , @Игрок It's done. I've created an add-on for this mod.
The link can be found in the description of this mod.
Also i recommend that you read the notes. I added something usefull.

Sorry for the late response. (irl problems)

@Niv Can you provide a log of the error? I am having difficulties understanding what it broken

@Thread They can be purchased from traders. They are in the same pool with all the basegame genes.

@nazminprince , @Игрок I can probably post a more broken version of this mod in a few hours. I will post a comment, so check back soon.

need a more op cheater version of this mod!

I need MORE OP THEN THIS, this still doesn't stand a chance when it comes to other gene adding mods metabolism

How do you acquire these?

It was working fine prior to the update however.

Hmm. the new update might have broken something. Pregnancy chance. However im using this mod and have the maximum non archite Gene of yours added into my colonists. the "error" is "current Xenotype exceeds metabolism limit" which it does without this mod. My idea is that perhaps the new update is not reading this mods effect correctly as even with my OP Xenotype, this mod still makes it the most efficient of Xenotypes at 50% metabolism

@BlazingImp77151 Yep. that's the basics of it. If you want this mod to be more balanced, you can find a link under the Balance section.

cool. so basically this mod adds expensive to make, but useful traits that add metabolic efficiency so you don't end up with pawns who need to constantly eat if you make them have a bunch of positive traits. definitely sounds like something useful.

Implanting a xenogerm, will replace the xenogenes of the person with the xenogenes of the implant.

Archite Capsules are special items that are needed to create xenogerms(the implant) with archite genes (genes with yellow background). These genes are very OP and the capsules are a way of balancing them.

So.. @BlazingImp
Metabolic Efficiency as you have guessed makes your pawns eat a lot more/less food. You can't create a gene implant that has more than -5 metabolic efficiency. So if you want to add more genes, you will very likely have to add a lot of negatives to balance out the positives.

Gene Complexity , when selecting new characters, in the xenogene editor it doesn't matter as far as i know. But to create new implants, each gene has a cost in complexity. The building that creates the implant has a base of 6 Gene Complexity capacity, and you can build aditional buildings that increase it by 2. So if you want to implant cool new abilities, you will need quite a bit of capacity.

so as it is, I have no knowledge or experience with Biotech (yet). What exactly happens when you increase the complexity?
I have been told that the downside to having lots of "positive" genes is that they make your pawns need to eat a lot more (metabolic efficiency); how does this affect that? What does having a higher complexity mean? The archite capsules are a form of currency/fuel used to make it harder to apply some genes, correct?

@SanguinarcAQL No problem ^-^

thanks dude !

Cool

@Osseez yes, these are aviable to buy from traders.

@Bjark I do not yet have the knowledge on how to work with genes on recipes. I plan on doing a gene splitter, combiner, and randomizer.

@Moxie Yes, I have created a new mod, more balanced with that gene as baseline.

@Yung SwagnaBlitz I have uploaded a more balanced new version. Check this mod description, under balance.

@Blazerik I have uploaded new version where the genes are archite, and can't be inherited normally.

@SaguinarcAQL I have uploaded a more balanced new version.

Anyways, can these be found in the "wild"?

@Bjark Yeah i thought for sure there would be some advanced building that allowed you to pick specific in the vanilla dlc. Very important

Request/Mod Idea, If possible a Spacer tech buildable that allows you to move genes between two chosen Genepacks, I really hate that I can't condense my storage to be as space efficient as possible and that I can never really fully utilise the 4 gene capacity of the genepacks. Would be VERY appreciated if its even possible. If you dont want to make a mod its completely understandable

There is, in fact, a gene in vanilla that does just this, and it's an archotech gene. It adds +6 metabolism, I believe, and nothing else. This mod is indeed overpowered.

I really like this, but imo it is overpowered. At the point in late game, where u can use genes, you should have the recources to get 80-120 complexity. Most of the time i wouldnt even get to 50 or 60 complexity when making a xenogerm. 3 or 4 complexity for 1 metabolic efficiency, would seem more balanced

Also consider that the vanilla mechanic (without the mod that fixes it) will almost always ignore inheriting genes with effects greater than 3. even genes with effects of 2 are somewhat rare. The inheritance mechanic is pretty crazily coded

Love the idea, but 5 by 5 seem a to be a LOT of Metabolic Efficiency
