Kryptonian Gene
Become a god among pawns.
I’ve been working on this for a while, and it’s still a work in progress. Let me know if you run into any errors.
This mod adds a gene that requires a gene editor or development tool to apply, so you’ll need the Biotech DLC.
If this ends up being too inconvenient for players, I’ll add a system that checks whether you have the DLC installed. If not, it will let you use an injector instead, similar to my other mods.
The Kryptonian Gene mod introduces a new archite-level gene that imbues your colonists with the legendary powers of a Kryptonian. Fueled by the sun itself, these pawns can perform feats that defy physics, from unleashing beams of heat to moving at supersonic speeds.
☀️ The Solar Energy System
This mod replaces the standard health mechanics for carriers of the Kryptonian gene. Instead of traditional damage, these pawns rely on Solar Energy:
Fuel Source: Solar Energy regenerates naturally when the pawn is exposed to sunlight.
Immortality: Kryptonians cannot die in the traditional sense. If they take lethal damage or run out of energy, they will fall into a Solar Coma. They remain in this state until exposed to sunlight and their reserves recharge.
⚡ Abilities
Harness the full power of the yellow sun:
Heat Vision: Fire a concentrated beam of solar energy from the eyes, dealing massive burn damage (50 dmg) at long range.
Cold Breath: Exhale a cone of super-cooled air that freezes enemies in place, causing frostbite damage.
Flight: Toggle flight mode to move at supersonic speeds while ignoring terrain costs.
Super Strength: Channel solar power into raw physical force. Massively boosts melee damage (x2.5) and carrying capacity (+200).
Supernova: Release all stored solar energy in a devastating explosion. This immediately depletes Solar Energy and almost always triggers a Solar Coma.
💪 Passive Enhancements
Even with no active powers enabled, Kryptonians surpass baseline humans:
Super Speed: Base move speed x2.0
Invulnerability: Melee damage factor x5.0 and greatly increased dodge chance
Efficiency: Global work speed x2.0; Mining & Construction x5.0
Strength: Carrying capacity +150
