Minimal and Compatible.
Instead of increasing the number of skin endogenes, (which causes problems), we remap them. Choosing a limited palette to represent people is difficult. Thankfully we can just piggyback off of Harvard and Google's AI research. Uses the Monk Skin Tone (MST) Scale.

F.A.Q
[i]Why replace? Why not add more?[/i]
A: An ideal approach would be to write a continuous color subspace. However that would conflict a lot. (If however you find a paper outlining one, please let me know). Mod uses the same discrete skin bases, so it remain highly compatible and doesn't cause clutter.
[i]Q: I'm a maximalist. Compatibility be damned.[/i]
A: Download [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3248322443]Inclusive Skin Tones + Misc Melanin[/url], which adds 30 new ones.
[i]Q: How can I edit it myself?[/i]
A: Open the readme in the mod folder.
[i]Q: Precepts?[/i]
A: Since you'll keep asking. Should work once updated: [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2588372194] Diversity and Discrimination.[/url]. Not my cup of tea, but you do you.
[i]Q: Do I need Biotech?[/i]
A: Nope
Incompatibilities
Let me know!
