Description

Features

- More than 300 new genes. Some are very low impact, while some are truly game changing.
- 16 new xenotypes with wild mechanics.
- A new "Custom random" xenotype that allows you to make new player created xenotypes, and have them loaded into two new custom factions.
- Abandoned Biotech labs quests, similar to the ones in VE Genetics, that give access to all the new genes during play.
- Genetic tools that allow you to tweak your colonists' genes. Obtainable through lab quests or normal quest rewards.

A list of genes can be found on this Google Docs document. Bear in mind Steam will probably censor this link as always: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CtbPQq6rouj-7lhVWQdJz4ysWFtxvly1yTYiZ-Si1a4/edit?usp=sharing

Future plans

Oh you can bet I will add new things!

FAQ

Q: Can I add it mid-playthrough to an existing save? Can I remove the mod?
A: You can add it whenever. You can't remove mods from a save and expect it not to be messed up.

Q: I don’t like certain things, can I remove them?
A: Use Owlchemist's Cherry Picker mod!

Q: Does this need Alpha Animals / Biomes / etc
A: No, though a couple more genes will be added if you have them too

Q: Can I suggest a new gene?
A: Without a doubt! Please use the pinned Suggestions thread or I may not see it

Q: Is it compatible with another mod that adds genes?
A: Depends on what genes such mod adds. Generally speaking, yes. I only assure compat with VE mods and things RedMattis does because he's cool

Q: Does this work with Combat Extended?
A: It should

Q: Does this work with multiplayer mods?
A: No support for any multiplayer mod from me. Updates will probably break it

Q: Reeeeeee, this is bloat!
A: I'm rubber, you are glue

The Forsaken were ported to Biotech by Major Quadrangle and Matsay, who graciously allowed me to adapt their work to this mod. Credit to Kikohi, Trunken and Immortalus for maintaining the Forsakens mod for years, as well as Crisp and ChJees for the original concept of them.

Is there a way to restrict which minerals Lapis are allowed to eat? Food policies don't work, as they only include things normal pawns can eat. I've stopped using Lapis pawns entirely, because they keep eating my stockpiles of things I want to use for other things.

The game seems to be using my custom (exotic marked) xenotype frequently when generating dead people in various scenarios. Xenotype Spawn Control shows the xenotype set to 0 in every single place I've checked so... why is this happening?

@Eclipse - Only if they have a chance to explode in the middle of lovin'.

Boomalope-like xenotype please

I would like to make a suggestion to have the "Deadlife Dust Producer" gene be restricted to only happen while drafted. It makes hunting with difficult, because it immediately resurrects anything you hunt as a Shambler.

So is there an actual description on forsaken and all that's made for them? What are those plants, what are those armor/weapons. What's a forsaken crag? I've found no actual info on the web(

Is the forsaken armor going to be updated to have vac resistance, it feels weird to have a race that can terraform planets creating a forsaken crag to not be able to have space safe armor

Also, gray pall vents do not play nicely with forsaken knowledge iMHO. They cause mood penalties even if you have genes that make you OK with pretenatural darkness. Just a bit illogical IMHO.
Aargh Tenna Jul 29 @ 5:20pm 
night striding does not work with darklight. Admittedly not this mod's fault, but still. Darklight sources cause 50% movement penalty, notably darklight fire pit. Also, VFE Tribals insist on using campfire instead of darklight fire pit. All that combined borks night striding idea IMHO.
Bosh Jul 29 @ 5:11pm 
I've not tested it with only this mod because I can't be bothered to reload all my custom xenotypes but I'm 90% sure that it's something to do with Xenotype Spawn Control, how it can handle the xenotypes of new pawns arriving in your colony, and the method mods like this use to create unconventional "births". I remember some similar bug happening with the Phytokin and their Saplingbirth gene. Oh well.
