Tends not to play nice with insectoids 2, causes massive lag spike and then insects that would have genes just don't spawn

Did a little trial and error and definitely think this is in conflict with insectoids 2 I'm afraid

Does this work on insectnoid mod?

Seems to be causing an issue with insectoid spawns (insectoids 2 spawns), i dont have the log because im dumb and uninstalled it without saving it first, but still fantastic mod idea and i will be trying it again soon ^_^

Do get the bumbledrone hives of alpha creatures/biomes and the hornets of medieval overhaul also the effects?

@Dark_platinum

dev mode -> add gene

@Maverick

Random insects without a hive will have only one main gene - insect

implementing it for all animals would be extremely sweet, tho, gotta say!
this seems really awesome, im just worried a bit cause hives always become dormant after a while, and i dont think i´ve ever seen insectoids build a new hive- thing is, you´d probably get rid of them really fast unless you want to breed wild insectoids somehow, or keep them alive just to watch them evolve, and due to this only ever see freshly generated insectoid spawns

Can I add genes to enemy insectoid?

Does this work for random spawning Insects like those from infestations or is it only for Insects born from Hives on the map?

i like how it simply uses the gene funcion that already exists, very well done
UncleRippu Apr 18, 2025 @ 8:09am 
it would be cool if it was possible to extract these genes and implant them into human pawns
Reestock Apr 18, 2025 @ 6:17am 
What? This is so cool-

No, I don't plan to implement this for all animals
SMercisk Apr 18, 2025 @ 5:07am 
Is such implementation possible for animals in the future? It could be like that one animal genetics mod but much more cleaner and intuitive for the player.

@MetaVandetta23

Technically these are normal genes, I just added a bunch of "rules" to distinguish insect genes from normal ones and block those genes from being passed on to humans and vice versa.
MetaVandetta23 Apr 18, 2025 @ 4:17am 
Also curious how does this works, seeing as I dont think moders tried to implement biotech gene like system for animals. Are those genes the exactly same as ones for baselines or are they special custom one based on og ones?
MetaVandetta23 Apr 18, 2025 @ 4:00am 
Could be even cooler if you could gene-modify your own insectoid hives wih VFE Insectoid 2. would make things more interesting...

@ShadowEater25

Spreads toxic gas after the insect dies and pollutes the soil
ShadowEater25 Apr 18, 2025 @ 3:00am 
what does toxic gene do? also cool mod
