Det's Xenotypes - Stoneborn (Reimagined)

Description
Overview
Det's Xenotypes - Stoneborn (Reimagined) is a simple mod I made for myself to alter the Stoneborn xenotype to suit my preferences. Metabolic Efficiency remains unchanged at the standard 100% hunger rate.

Changes
- Removed Unisex Beards
Only Males will have beards now.

- Removed Stonecall
I found it a bit gimmicky, micromanagy and not very useful since Stoneborn already are good at construction and mining. Stone and Rock! Oh, wait?

- Added Strong Immunity
Dwarves are hardy and live long lives. Makes sense that they'd have a slightly better immune system.

- Removed Awful Social Aptitude
In my mind dwarves may be stubborn and prideful, but they don't lack social skills. Strong community and trade are core to their civilisation.

-Added Strong Melee Aptitude
-Added Poor Shooting Aptitude
Dwarves are robust and strong from hard physical work, stands to reason they'd pack a heavy punch too. They're also nearsighted and live underground in winding tunnels and cramped environments, so would naturally gravitate towards melee combat and away from ranged.

Compatibility
This mod is just a simple XML patch, it only adds and removes specific genes from the Stoneborn xenotype. It should be compatible with everything.

@DuckInAPond - No idea, haven't tried that myself. Make a test save and see what happens.

What would be the results of removing this mod mid run

Could run a gene that makes dwarves like each other because of brotherhood or sisterhood or whatever but have them be harsh or disliked by other Xenotypes

IDK about the beard people but a balance could be a Gene that makes females attracted to beards and disgusted to non beards. xenotype not dependent just if a pawn has a manly beard or not. (sorry short bearded gang)

Removing the beards are a sin. You must be an elf in disguise, no true dwarf would commit such a blaspheme.

Honestly all these changes actually make sense. The beard People will like it or hate it. Me I like it considering every time without fail I see someone make a bearded dwarf female they miss the point and just have a woman with this greasy looking wirebrush. So ya I like you removed it for females.

The unisex beard removal is a dealbreaker. The natural order of things is thrown off!

Just fixing the beard thing is enough to get me to download this

@TheSevenSins - They have Det's custom Irascible gene, which increases social fight chance by 50%. I suppose one could replace this for Abrasive, but I think I like it how it is.
