DBHGenes in xenotypes

Description
Add some fitting DBH genes to some existing xenotypes and then some more to keep their metabolic balance the same


Impid: require less water (they live in deserts). Increased bladder and hygiene fall rates

Highmate: can't get dirty (they're made to be beautiful). Need more water

Sanguophage: no bladder need (to preserve the vampire aesthetic). Need more water

To do: make a patch for VFE Sanguophages

Q&A

Q: Why?
A: I know there's a non-zero demand for such a mod so I made it

Q: Settings?
A: When I'll find how to add them, I plan to add toggles for each xenotype change

Q: Safe to add midgame?
A: Yes but it won't take effect on already-spawned pawns

Q: Why the downsides?
A: I wanted to keep the metabolic efficiency to its default so I added some other genes. As a bonus, it makes access to some of the DBH genes easier

Q: 1.5?
A: DBH must be updated first for that. As I write this, DBH isn't updated to 1.5 yet

I know this should logically be the case but the way these needs work ingame thirst and bladder are completely unaffected by each other

I also priorised maintaining the metabolic balance because making Impids eat 50% more food just to make them consume less water wasn't worth it

I do take suggestions if you find more fitting downsides to maintain the metabolic balance

Desert dwelling creatures should be urinating and defecating less since their body is adapted to waste less water. For example camels reabsorb the water in their bladder allowing them to go long periods without urinating. Their eventual urine comes out as a thick paste and their dung dry enough to use as fuel.

vampires don't poop
