Highmate Vanilla race reworked ][ xenotype redal
I'm uploading this mod right now with
4 other optional patches
that you can use together or separate if you want. Links below.
Let's start from what I've removed from the original:
[b]Violence disabled[/b] - That's a very boring gene. Most players (sweats) hate this xenotype because of it.
Instead I suggest [b]weak melee damage[/b] and [b]NearSighted[/b] (nearsighted goes as an optional patch, Link below)
[b]Delicate[/b] - description of this gene says it's about weak bones and joints. Highmates are not born, they are made, most even not long ago. I believe they shouldn't be developing weak bones in one lifetime. Instead, I suggest extra pain gene.
They are supposed to be more sensitive to pleasure, with which the pain comes...
[b]Long haired[/b] - there is no way you grow long hair without growing short hair first. Also there are many short haircuts that really suit highmates.
[b]Thin body[/b] - highmates are supposed to become more beautiful and appealing to most people. Thin body in the game seems very dystrophic(suited for Genies), therefore it can't be appealing to most people.
[b]GreyLess hair[/b] - Their normal hair color is white, grey is just a slight difference. Yeah maybe highmates would love not being noticed as old, but why would their creators want that? Trick customers? Maybe.
[b]Awful plants[/b] - maybe their skin is too sensitive for plant work. But it shouldn't remove passion!
I considered bringing poor plants instead. But metabolism is too low already.
If someone asks I can make another optional patch for that.
Now let's talk about additions!
[b]Cold weakness[/b] - sensitive body.
[b]UV sensitivity[/b] - Why not? Have you seen the color of their skin?XD
They have literally no melanin in it.
I as a very white person can guarantee it slows you down and gives you a mood debuff in real life.
(That's all this gene does by the way. I never minded playing sanguophages in daylight)
[b]Tinderskin & pyrophobia[/b] - For example, their bodies may be designed to produce pheromones and/or skin oils to endorse attraction. And these things might as well be very flammable. Noone in glitterworlds would care to fix this because of a definitely perfect fire suppression. But have fun with it on your Rimworld;)
[b]Dead calm[/b] - another compromise to "violence disabled" removal.
[b]Weak melee damage[/b] - Weak muscles, compromise to "violence disabled"
[b]Extra pain[/b] - compromise to "delicate".
[b]Poor Construction[/b] - Comes with weak body.
[b]Strong Cooking[/b] - Explanation like in my any other rework, more sterile body. (And don't say you didn't want it)
[b]Poor animals/b] - compromise to Awful animals
[b]Strong Artistic[/b] - Who else if not them? Also their way of life should lead to more of an artistic lifestyle I believe.
[b]Strong medical[/b] - Sterile body, and way of life.
[b]Poor intellectual[/b] - Their way of life definitely makes it harder to concentrate on research. (remember, it doesn't mean they can't do it)
[b]Alcohol, smoke leaf, psychite resistance[/b] - highmates are social, that's what people use for socializing I suppose. (I just had too much spare metabolism left...)

This mod is a [b] PATCH [/b] therefore it's compatible with anything and safe to remove midgame.
Report any issue please
