This is a ridiculously light-weight mod that rebalances Vanilla Genes.
It is not going to buff your favorite stronk genes, it is mostly very minor tweaks to make some underwhelming genes less underwhelming.
Changes:
[list]
[*] [b]Slow healing[/b] reduces healing speed to 65% instead of 50%.
I doubt anyone intentionally picked this gene
[*] [b]Trotter hands[/b] no longer reduces general labour speed. This means that the pigkskins will do their work as fast as baseliners; they'll just do it more clumsily.
The gene should have probably be worth -3 metabolism as written in vanilla. -15% Manipulation is terrible due to the vast number of knock-on effects, but to avoid messing with the metabolism of pigskins a buff was used instead.
[*] [b]Toxic Environmental Resistance[/b] and [b]Toxic Resistance[/b] are both 75% effective instead of 50% effective. There wasn't much of a point to dying slightly slower to toxic effects.
[*] [b]Superclotting[/b] costs 2 instead of 1. If you need this on a pawn it is probably worth far more already anyway.
[*] [b]High/Low Temperature Tolerance[/b] now give 30C of resistance instead of 20. You all have Parkas already by the time you're even looking at this gene. This buff actually makes it a bit legit to have cold-resistant furballs in plate armour in cold biomes.
[*] [b]Movement Speed[/b] Genes gives -8%/+10%/+20% extra [i]base speed[/i]. The previous values were a bit too low to even be noticeable. This is more than a double bonus, almost like basic bionic legs if you get the "Very Fast" one. Pros: Impids are better. Cons: Impids are better.
[*] [b]Addiction Resistance[/b] gives 75% resistance instead of 50% so you can tear your hair out when they get an addiction anyway.
[*] [b]Addiction Immune[/b] costs 2 instead of 5 because you're probably going to add a Dependency anyway instead if you've got that available, and it was generally agreed that this gene was a pretty bad deal.
[*] [b]Naked Speed[/b]. Roughly doubled both penalties and made bonuses mirror them (-4%, +2% to -10%, +10%)
[*] [b]Slow Study[/b] now gives back an additional point of metabolism.
[*] [b]Fire Spew[/b]: Cooldown reduced from 5 days to 2.5 days. Useful abillity but the cooldown was a bit overkill. Kept it high enough that you don't hunt animals with it, but low enough that it is usually off cooldown when you get the next raid.
[*] [b]Foam Spray[/b]: Cooldown reduced from 12h to 2h. If you want to pay 2 metabolism for a mobile firefoam popper it could at least let you use it a bit more often.
[*] [b]Acid Spray[/b]: Cooldown reduced from 1 day to 1 hour. It isn't a deadly enough abillity to be something you should need to conserve.
[*] [b]Animal Warcry[/b]: Cooldown reduced from 15 days per charge to 5 days per charge. If you have enough animals around to abuse it then you should be permitted to do so. You are paying 3 metabolism for it, that is a huge cost.
[*] [b]Very Sleepy[/b]: +80% -> +50%. Rimworld is in large part a time-management game, and sleeping most of the day cripples the usefulness of a pawn.
[*] [b]Sleepy[/b]: +40% -> +30%. Same as above.
[*] [b]Perfect Immunity[/b] now gives x1.5 immunity gain speed too. Also gives immunity to food poisoning, because frankly, requiring strong stomach just felt like a weird "gotcha" when it gives immunity to nearly every other vanilla disease.
[*] [b]Incapable of Violence[/b] now gives 5 metabolism instead of 3.
