Vanilla Android Genes Unofficially Expanded

Description
VAGUE (Vanilla Android Genes Unofficially Expanded)
This mod adds more subroutines to the Vanilla Races Expanded androids!

Many of these mods mimic existing Biotech genes, however some are unique!

Unsure if the mod is 1.6 compatible, unfortunately my computer has stopped working, so I cannot test it, or update the mod. Other modders have my full permission to make and upload 1.6 patches or continuations if they desire.




Contents
  • Movement Speed: Added 2 genes that increase movespeed by 0.2c/s and 0.4c/s, identical to vanilla movespeed genes.

  • Carry Capacity: Added 2 genes that increase carrying capacity by 15kg and 30kg (This does NOT increase caravan capacity, only on-map carrying capacity. These genes don't do much unless you're running a mod that increases stack size.)

  • Size: Added 2 genes that "change" the androids size. This doesn't actually modify the bodySize stat since that stat has a LOT of effects that I didn't want to change. Instead, they're custom buffs.

  • Damage Taken: Added genes that increase or decrease damage taken by 50%, identical to Delicate and Robust vanilla genes.

  • Mood: Added 5 genes related to mood. None of these genes can be used with Anti-Awakening protocols. 3 of these genes are identical to vanilla genes (Pessimist, Optimist, and Sanguine). Depressive has been changed to guarantee an android becomes a Psychopath upon awakening, but will also always go berserk when they awaken. The final mood gene gives +999 mood, but removes itself when the android awakens. This guarantees the android awakens positively and as soon as possible.

  • Infravision: Identical to the Darkvision gene.

  • Napalm Emitters: Identical to Fire Spray gene.

  • Neutro-Coagulation: Allows androids to slowly coagulate their neutro-leaks. Every 10 seconds an android will automatically tend the largest neutro-leak source that is older than 15 seconds, this does NOT allow androids to passively heal, it only prevents further 'bleeding' (Very similar to the superclotting gene, slightly weaker and more expensive though, since Neutroamine is more valuable than blood)

Is it possible to make all the android genetics available in the Xeno editor? For a custom android start.

awesome mod man! Curious, is this compatible with big and small genes (since that one also has genes that would change android sizes) as well as Combat Extended (I don't see any gene that adds armor so maybe...?)?

Personally don't recall the behaviourist station ever requiring resources to respec. The initial price of making an android was always for creating the body and was never influenced by what traits you picked, alongside using the station to change traits

Great mod! Any chance for getting any sanguinophage inspired genes? You could use neutroamine as a substitute to hemogen as a means of keeping an androids reactor from destabilizing (with the complication of it being unreplacable, but giving unlimited power), or instead of ripping of Murder Drones you could go full ULTRAKILL and have them run on human blood

Awesome mod, can't wait to see more vanilla gene adapted for androids!

Yeah, only mods that change VRE:A should have even a chance of affecting this mod too, but then again modding is strange sometimes!

Thanks for letting me know, and thank you for your kind words! I hope you continue to enjoy the mod, and I will credit you if I find and squash the bug!

I have at least 50 mods installed at all time so it's entirely possible that it's some kind of soft conflict. I don't have any mods that affect the price of things or the way orders are handled though.

I'm just giving you a heads up in case it happens on your side too. Don't worry too much about it. It didn't stop me from enjoying the mod very much :)
