Thank you for using demi fox, and I hope you continue to enjoy them.

@Abraxas
Once Again An excellent explanation! Thank you very much!!
Also the issues of Biotech is rather funny and why HAR is very much better.
Been making Monstrosity with your mod has been very much amusing.

@grim
An explanation on reproduction.

The default in rimworld is using the mother pawnKindDef. The pawnKindDef contains the race to use.
Technically this introduces an error in vanilla where a wildMan pawn results in the wrong child being born if tye mother ever ran wild. This issue is solved in HAR so no need to worry regarding that.

As for xenotype that largely matters less than race unless the tail and ears were genes (fictional parts) in which case in vanilla you'd almost always end up with fewer genes than the parents regardless if they were the same xenotype, with the added chance thst the same xenotype result in a hybrid child.

If demi foxes were recreated using biotech xenotype there is a high chance their children will be hybrids unable to use the demi fox gimmick even if both parents were the demi fox xenotype.

@Abraxas
Fair explanation overall was just wondering if Biotech could be used to recreate the kitsune i.e. through research is all. your explanation also explains why children born from two demi foxes are still demi foxes, due to the Xenotyping yes? Plus Biotech still works with this mod as i add some genes to further make my Demi foxes in my colony even better at psy stuff. also added gene Mods to make my own Kitsunes as well. Haven't had to much issues. Keep up the good work my good sir!

@grim
The only merit of biotech for demi fox is a natural meditation gene which requires C# implementation, everything else is better handled elsewhere and would requireC# to replicate for in the end fewer features.

@grim
Decoupling from HAR adds a Ton of work for lost features.

Color freedom for hair and skin comes from HAR. (Without HAR either it will be white tips or 1 solid color and gene limited I range of selection)

The real ears and tails come from a race and genes are incapable of doing. (Need to use a race that has a custom body)
And with HAR the surgery support is easy. (Needs C# to solve)

The ear variants being asymmetrical will be lost since that is also HAR. (I'd have to fight the render node system for it)

The natural meditation comes from backstories which HAR is the only reason it gets puts on new borns. (Need to create a solution)

If I remake this race not to use HAR it won't be a xenotype it'd be a race with custom render nodes because genes don't offer what I'm looking for.l and it price gates the mod.

Now as for reviving this mod 1.6 isn't out.
I have not given anyone permission to take over this mod.

Oh and FYI Basic Biotech stuff does work with this mod, as in Vanilla Genes can be used with this mod. In case anyone was wandering or wants to know.

A shame about not wanting to do Biotech with this Mod. A potential missed opportunity as the description for the Mod speaks of the Kitsune and a thought on using Biotech to revive them would be nice. Maybe as a Submod? Either way this Mod is still somewhat Comp with Biotech as in all the kids born between 2 Demifox will be Demifox as well.

It is quite the shame to not have a more general or biotech version.
Im always looking for Xenotype mods that make for interesting additions
for genetic breeding programs.

And the buff ability would make a great general addition to the game
for all sorts of drain scenarios.

nice mod,and skill

Scruffy tails.

@Xahkarias
No.

Potential for Biotech version?

Awesome.

my obsession for mofumofu is eternal

Moar foxxo is always good.

Demi fox WILL be waifu.
