The mod is entirely translated using keyed localization. Every string is now editable in the localization file, and I would be grateful if you would create a translation for your language, even though the mod is small :)
Updates:
[list]
[*] 1.0.0 - Initial release
[*] 1.0.1 - Added search tags.
- This system allows you to search for genes using various tags.
- As of now, there's only one tag - "#", which allows searching for genes using any text in their description.
Example: "#combat" will find genes with "combat" in their description.
Example: "strong #combat" will find genes with "strong" in their name and "combat" in their description.
- Searchbar is still able to search for genes by their name, it's done by not using "#" at the start of the search term.
[*] 1.0.2 - Added gene list sorting.
- Now, you can sort the gene list by clicking on the column headers. It can be sorted in ascending and descending order by gene names, metabolism, complexity and archite capsules price.
[*] 1.03 - Updated for 1.6.
[*] 1.1 - Major UI overhaul with custom value input system.
- [b]Direct Input Fields:[/b] Click and type values directly instead of using buttons
- [b]Custom Values:[/b] Set any number you want for metabolism, complexity, and archite costs
- [b]Negative Numbers:[/b] Full support for negative values for advanced scenarios
