WVC - Xenotypes and Genes
About v1.4 and v1.5
Due to the fact that since 1.6 mods now have full support for asset bundles, all mod textures are planned to be packed into one. In order not to inflate the mod's weight several times, it was decided to remove support for old versions completely. Soon all files of versions 1.4 and 1.5 will be deleted, if for some reason you are still using this outdated version, save a local backup or download the mod from GitHub.
[b][i]Do not use the Steam version of the mod for versions 1.4 and 1.5![/i][/b]
Xenotypes and Genes
The mod adds over 400+ new genes, as well as several xenotypes. Some have little impact on the game, some big.

Recommendations
- [url=https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2023507013]Vanilla Expanded Framework[/url] - Some small features require VEF, but VEF is not required for the mod to work.
- [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2888380373]Work Modes[/url] - Golems are designed for tactical use, using multiple groups. This mod will make managing groups easier.
- [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2891845502]Alpha Genes[/url] - More and more genes!
- [url=https://steamcommunity.com/linkfilter/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2FWVCSergkart%2FWVC_TrueXenotypes]True Xenotypes (GitHub)[/url][github.com] - Allows to convert custom xenotypes to xenotypes. Inheritance of archite genes if conditions are met. Correction of "broken" xenotypes. And genes dictionary. (All of the above are options)

Incompatibility
- Performance Fish - The mod has no conflicts with performance fish, but since fish patches GeneTicker, this can lead to delays in tickers of some genes. If you notice that genes are triggered later than expected, it is recommended to disable the GeneTrackerTick patch and restart the game.
- [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2069684319][FSF] Complex Jobs[/url] (1.4) - Additional compatibility patches for golems are required. Otherwise there shouldn't be any problems.
- RimPy - The RimPy database is hopelessly outdated. It contains incorrect and false information regarding my mods. Please use the [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1847679158]rimpy database[/url] from steam or use non-abandoned mod managers. [b][i]Any comments regarding the rimpy database will be ignored. I'm tired of explaining that rimpy is abandoned.[/i][/b]
- [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2890901044]Combat Extended[/url] - Req compatibility patches. [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3357129012]Patch[/url] by [url=https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198405326402]ASnamed[/url].
- [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3312319778]Auto-repair On[/url] - There have been complaints that this mod breaks some mechanics related to mechanoids. Use [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2888380373]Work Modes[/url] mod instead, it doesn't break vanilla comps and can do the same thing.
- [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3250762483]Too Many Mods[/url] - I have been repeatedly complained that this mod breaks some content from my mod. Since this mod changes the intended balance of my mod, some elements start to work incorrectly. It also creates a discrepancy with the wiki of my mod. [b]Before reporting a problem, please make sure it exists without this mod.[/b]
- [b]Any graphic mods.[/b] - Detailed bodies, animated eyes, additional visual details, etc. Anything that implies non-vanilla graphics is not compatible. [i]For compatibility, use the graphics disable options of the mod in the settings.[/i]
