Jimothy's Complexity Trait Genes!
Welcome to Jimothy's Complexity Trait Genes!
This mod just adds some trait genes that have high complexity instead of costing metabolism.
This means that making xenogerms using these genes can require lots of gene processors, but they have no impact on the food needs of those who have them.
Different genes have different levels of complexity, depending on how useful they are. Feel free to offer your own ideas regarding changes to complexity levels.
Lore excuse: "Ah, you see, being tough, kind or whatever doesn't make a pawn need to eat more when it's non-genetic. We at Generic Lab Corp have figured out a way to replicate this, though it's very complex..."
Anomaly traits are archite and, obviously, require anomaly DLC!
Compatibility:
Not compatible with Jimothy's Genes, which this is integrated into anyway.

Back in 1.4 there were issues when using genes that add contradictory traits, but this seems to be fixed on Ludeon's end.
FAQ:
[b]No metabolism cost is overpowered![/b]
Eh. High complexity means needing to build quite a nifty lab to actually take advantage of these genes when making custom xenotypes. Also, mods that add trait genes while costing metabolism already exist.
That said, this mod can get pretty cheesy if you use the Inject Genes mod lol.
[b]Can genes that add opposing traits be used simultaneously?[/b]
If they're both from this mod, *no*, both genes can't be active at once. If you use genes from various mods, then yes, but the traits won't be active simultaneously.
[b]Why do they all have the same textures?[/b]
Laziness.
[b]Future Changes?[/b]
Probably giving the genes unique textures.
Adding genes for traits from other mods, main ones on my mind are Supreme Melee and Vanilla Genes Expanded. These would be in their own mods, though.
[b]This mod says it was first posted in December, but I'm only seeing it after March![/b]
I initially wasn't planning on making this mod public, as its content is already in Jimothy's Genes, but changed my mind.

Note that this channel is *NOT* Rimworld related. It's a worldbuilding channel. That said, you might notice some Rimworld-esque stuff in the worldbuilding, such as organ harvesting, war crimes, morbid hilarity and widespread cannibalism.
