Mod Content
Around [b]100 new genes[/b], cosmetic and functional. In 1.6, the xenotypes have been split off and will be appearing soon in their own mods.

Highlights
Bodyfeeder
[img]https://i.imgur.com/eAtZLKd.png[/img]
Reduced hemogen from normal sources, but greatly increased hemogen from consuming human flesh, especially fresh and raw. Hemogen withdrawal is worse, resulting in insanity and eventual death. Special mental break during hemogen withdrawal where the affected pawn will hunt other pawns and eat them alive.
Darkling
(Anomaly required)
[img]https://i.imgur.com/DTry1Vz.png[/img]
Grants immunity to Unnatural Darkness. Does not grant immunity to Noctols.

[b]Strict Herbivore:[/b] Can only get nutrition from plant matter. Will get sick fast from eating meat/animal product. Can eat hay (but won't enjoy it).
[b]Herbivore:[/b] Reduced nutrition from meat/animal products and will get sick if they eat too much.
[b]Carnivore:[/b] Reduced nutrition from plant-based food and will get sick if they eat too much.
[b]Hypercarnivore:[/b] Can only get nutrition from meat and animal products. Will get sick fast from eating plant matter. Reduced maluses from eating raw meat and corpses.
[b]Obligate Cannibal:[/b] Can only gain nutrition from human flesh.
Cosmetic genes

Cat tail (also grants bonuses to melee dodge and trap avoidance, 2 variants), Leathery tail (lightly animated), Head frill, Tabby (2 variants), Tusks, Nostril slits, Cat ears (4 variants), Facial tufts
Also 2 blood colours and 3 eye colours
Hair/skin color bundles
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Y6ik8gQ.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/1p7buM2.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/O0OLPLE.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/4f6jcNi.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/V1LSwn9.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/biQb3rd.png[/img]
New skin and hair color genes are grouped into bundles to avoid cluttering your gene selection interface. Bundles automatically expand out into the actual genes when applied to pawns. A toggle in the mod settings lets you access the genes individually instead if you prefer.
Hemogenic abilities
[img]https://i.imgur.com/W4rP1J1.png[/img]
[b]Endostimulant Burst[/b]
A self-only hemogen-powered ability that reduces Rest need and temporarily boosts Consciousness.
[img]https://i.imgur.com/o3pqkPS.png[/img]
[b]Wist Venom Bite[/b]
A hemogen-powered ability that applies a beneficial drug effect to the target pawn. Provides pain reduction and an immunity boost, plus a brief mood boost. Addictive.
Metamorphosis
[img]https://i.imgur.com/61FJc7c.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/vFnEDRo.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/Q1s8Tu2.png[/img]
At puberty (13) the pawn will metamorphose permanently into the indicated xenotype. One gene is automatically generated per loaded xenotype, including xenotypes from this and other mods. To have the adult xenotype produce children of the original xenotype for a 2-stage life cycle, use the Offspring genes.
Offspring
[img]https://i.imgur.com/trTZvGZ.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/Vz9nVIi.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/yGOFrpT.png[/img]
Children produced by the pawn will be of the indicated xenotype rather than inheriting their parents' genes. One gene is automatically generated per loaded xenotype, including xenotypes from this and other mods.
Precocious
[img]https://i.imgur.com/gKyn5Sy.png[/img]
Infants with this gene count as a Child rather than a Baby from birth. They can walk, feed themselves, and begin to acquire skills and growth points. They are incapable of work or combat until age 3.
Psyphon
[img]https://i.imgur.com/GSdnJXG.png[/img]
Psycasters with the Psyphon gene gain a Psyphon ability that refills their psyfocus by draining others. There is also an option to have them use this automatically in place of meditation to maintain their psyfocus.
The amount of drain is proportional to the amount of psyfocus required. Drained pawns first lose any psyfocus of their own (harmless), then Consciousness. Drained Consciousness recovers over time, but if too much is consumed at once there is a risk of permanent damage. See the [url=https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fdocument%2Fd%2F1iZElzhElgqX8ctgyEpiULWZ6jdBOXbNhR6gObmrRBgI%2Fedit%3Ftab%3Dt.0]gene reference sheet[/url][docs.google.com] for full details.
Violence Averse
[img]https://i.imgur.com/miH1nSU.png[/img]
Never starts social fights. Violent mental break chance x20%. Prison break interval x2. Substantial mood penalties from witnessing or participating in violence.
Xenotype Implanters
[img]https://i.imgur.com/Cmmcqqj.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/DygjY2T.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/dNV3Nrn.png[/img]
Like the vanilla gene implanter, but implants a specific xenotype instead of the implanting pawn’s own genes. The implanting pawn doesn’t need to regrow their genes but can only use the ability every 20 days. The implantee enters a xenogermination coma and must regrow genes as per normal.
Compatibility
[b]1.4[/b]
Support is discontinued, aside from major bug-fixes. No content will be added, and much of the existing content is 1.5+ only, but the 1.4 version will remain functional as is.
Vanilla Expanded Framework is not required for the 1.4 version, but Better Gene Graphics is.
[b]1.5[/b]
1.5 version contains 9 new xenotypes, documented [url=https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fdocument%2Fd%2F1iyYNm7v-oiw9-0H65LYn1dpusAmJKTBLZDKn0OF3aq8%2Fedit%3Fusp%3Dsharing]here.[/url][docs.google.com] Spawning can be controlled via sliders in the settings.
[b]Custom xenotypes[/b]
Unfortunately the per-xenotype genes (Offspring, Implanter, Metamorphosis) will not generate from "custom" made-in-game xenotypes. To turn your custom xenotypes into "full" xenotypes for use with the genes, you will need to export them as their own mod. The mod [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3254345251][1.5] Custom Xenotype Exporter Tool[/url] can do this for you.
[b]Meal graphics[/b]
In order to facilitate carnivorous/herbivorous pawns, this mod fiddles with meal graphics and with the stacking logic. If you don’t want this behaviour you can turn it off in the mod settings.
[b]Duplicate genes[/b]
Lots of my genes will automatically hide themselves if they would be duplicates of genes from several popular gene-adding mods I’m familiar with.
[b]Humanoid Alien Races[/b]
Most of my genes are not tested with HAR and may interact unpredictably with non-human pawns. Combine at your own risk.
