Love this mod. Thank you for your work and updates, we appreciate it!

Heyyy just a little question, what would I need to edit in the mod files to allow ripping pawns with "Regrowing Genes" condition ?

why the fuck do you have to wait for there genes to regrow

this is great because i normally kill gene donors anyway because "regrowing genes" takes ages

It's most likely not useful information to you now Aeon, but still thought it worth mentioning that with Vanilla gene extractors, they're unable to extract archite genes. That's probably why you weren't able to get the gene you wanted from them.

Thank you so much for this. I legit spent 4 ingame years trying to either buy or extract the ageless gene. I have 4 Sanguophage in my prison that I rotated through the stupid gene extractor for YEARS. With this, one scan (and one less Sanguophage) and I finally have my genepack. You saved this Archotech map campaign, I don't know how much longer I would have had patience for.

@JootaCee Bandit.Camp: Yes, try "Gene Extractor Tiers". Go into its mod settings to enable targeted gene extraction if you want that function on all tiers of its extractors.

Is there a mod that can extract specific genes from my colonists without them dying in the attempt?

Nevermind. I read somewhere it might be a conflict with Biotech.

Hey hey. I installed it and the No Sympathy For Prisoners mod stopped working. I'm getting debuffs again for removing organs. Any fix?

The mod checks whether pawns on the map are colonists, prisoners, etc., but not whether they are ghouls, which is why they are not on the list. This is just one small code change to fix this.

Is it not an oversight that you can't put rip someone's gene while they're regrowing? Even the gene extractor will let you do that...

Same, now I can't have ghouls enter the gene ripper at all.

weird its working again i dont get it. bizarre

Not sure whats going on- gene ripper wont work on prisioners, only colonists. Im using the same mods I used pre 1.5- anyone else ahving this issue?

I think gene ripper should be behind its own research and require tech print. It is a bit too strong

@Daniel (author)

Seeing as gene extractor DOES allow ghouls to have their genes extracted, I think this is intended behaviour.

Ghouls are not displayed when selecting a pawn.

would this allow you to extract archo genes?

@ladileo8781 I get this issue sometimes. Normally an uninstallation and reinstallation works. It's a steam workshop thing in general to fail to update files.

it keeps saying that its not 1.5. i dont know what the problem is or what it could be but has this happened to anyone else?

Updated to 1.5. Let me know if you find any new bugs.

will there be an update for 1.5?

for anyone who wants to be able to rip prisoners after implanting genes, you can adjust the regrow timer with this mod I just found. https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2895892250&searchtext=regrowing

Feature Request: Make it minifiable so it can be moved like all other biotech equipment.

Nvm I realize what it’s for this is a chosen gene other one is random

What research does this need is it before the gene extracter?

I've tried adding the last two runs and its not showing up anywhere. once mid game and once a restart

can this be added mid run?

@Bones I 3rd that, I'd love an option to rip the genes out with them still "Regrowing Genes"

I agree with WireFire2 when he said "Is there a way to remove the requirement that they not be regrowing genes? They're going to die away this restriction makes no sense."

I can't put a prisoner in there to rip their genes out because their genes are regrowing and it will kill them...which it will do anyways. BUT, you have the option to put them in the gene extractor, which will kill them as well because their genes are growing back...makes no sense. Looked at the mod in folder 2885485814 and compared it with the parameters of the gene extractor and cannot for the life of me figure out what to edit to make the ripper work when they are regrowing genes, or what parameter is making it to where i cannot use the gene ripper.

Please add to the option the possibility to not destroy the corpse. 50% still annoying

Got tired of not dropping any good packs from farming two hussars for the last two in-game years, downloading it rn

there's a bug where the corpse gets stuck in the ripper after the process, and i have to deconstruct the entire machine and rebuild it to get the body out.

Can you display the genes I own on the gene extraction screen?

Do you think you'll add the capability to Gene Rip Corpses?

Can i add it to a save mid game?

With that idea, would you still get the gene and it's just removed from the pawn, or is it destroyed when it's removed? That would actually be a nice config option to have come to think of it.

I recently had an idea to use the functionality in Gene Ripper to remove a character's specific gene without killing the character. I hope to add this feature. If you don't have the time, can I create a patch to implement this feature?

Is there a way to extract children?

Can we please get an option for mod authors to blacklist genes they don't want ripped?

Ha ha. You can force two starting pawns with a custom genotype to give birth to a child, then shove it into a reaper, extract the genes and instill them in an already adult, trained pawn.

Love the mod, but question. Sometimes the Gene Ripper spits out a corpse (which I could then freeze and rez with mech serum) and sometimes the Gene Ripper spits out a pile of human meat, with no corpse. I'm fine, but clearly there is a mechanic here. Why is there nothing about this at all in the description? What are the chances/odd or one outcome of the other?

Is there a setting to not insta-kill colonists when used. i have a colonist with go juice dependency and no go juice and i really want to keep him.

@WireFire2 Well I mean it's "growing" sooo

Honestly nothing about gene extraction makes any sense in Rimworld, with or without mods, so what's one more arbitrary limitation that has no basis in reality?

Is there a way to remove the requirement that they not be regrowing genes? They're going to die away this restriction makes no sense.

Hey Daniel is it possible to add an operation to remove a gene from a colonist? (Not to keep the gene pack, just removing a gene from them). Thanks for the mod!

Dunno how to code for Rimworld/C# so no options, but can upload if someone is interested.

Made a version that hides archite genes in the select menu and expands the setting range to 1-72 hours.
