Description

Features

- More than 250 new genes. Some are very low impact, while some are truly game changing.
- 14 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

A: Depends on what genes such mod adds. Generally speaking, yes. I only assure compat with VE mods

Yeah, Sam did that in one of his series
Jet 30 Jun @ 12:35am 
would you say keeping a wretch prisoner as a way to acquire xenogenes is a good idea? iThey get 10 new xenogenes every day so i figure i just need to get lucky and have something good pop up. I just need something to steal it from them right
NastyMoose 29 Jun @ 8:45pm 
will their be anomaly genes?

Is there a good medical setting for teratogenic colonists? Blowing medical supplies on tumors and having to manually set medical requirements from non to medical use when injured is a pain.
Sarg Bjornson  [author] 24 Jun @ 12:03pm 
Dunno, you can try

Even if you had thousands of animals, generation would be less than 1 second
TurtleShroom 24 Jun @ 11:56am 
If I delete the Gene Templates, would that stop them from spawning, or would that just cause a butt ton of errors?

Also, in a few milliseconds... what if you have thousands of animals? Three Genes are assigned (Major, Minor, etc.) for each animal. I'm not certain that doesn't add up.
Sarg Bjornson  [author] 24 Jun @ 11:54am 
Not really, they are still there, just hidden
TurtleShroom 24 Jun @ 11:39am 
Huh. Is there still a way to remove them, though?
Sarg Bjornson  [author] 24 Jun @ 11:38am 
No, they load in a few milliseconds. They are loaded through C# and the game takes very very little time to generate them
TurtleShroom 24 Jun @ 10:28am 
Is there a way to completely disable the Animal Summoning Gene bloat? I have over a thousand Mods and even more animals, and it takes my game a LONG TIME to load thousands of those Genes, which I have never used, and will never use. I imagine that my game would load a lot faster if they don't exist at all.

I'd remove it myself if I could, but simply removing the Gene Templates is obviously not enough.
