You're no aristrocrat- You're a mutant, aren't you! I can see it, with those hulking muscles, toxic gas sacks, and oddly flexible legs. Surely, someone like you who hails from the sunscorched salt desert can survive on the Rim!
This mod as in several mutations from the game Caves of Qud as biotech genes. They're all fairly balanced, non archite genes with unique abilities and effects. This is a companion mod to my other Caves of Qud mod, Implants of Qud, which you can find here: [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3552111619]https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3552111619[/url]
Below is a manifest of all the genes you can find in game currently- If you'd like to discover them yourself, look no further!
Ability Genes:
Tox Gas Generation:
Metabolic Impact: -2

Allows the gene carrier to release a steady stream of tox gas once every two days, functioning similarly to the tox pack.
Blind Smoke Generation:

Allows the gene carrier to release a steady stream of blind smoke once a day, functioning similarly to the tox pack.
Adrenal Control:
Metabolic Impact: -3
Complexity: 3
Allows the gene carrier to use the "Release Adrenaline" ability once every twelve hours, granting increased move speed, consciousness, and attack speed / firing cooldown. Functions similarly to Anomaly's adrenal heart.
Internal EMP:
Metabolic Impact: -2
Complexity: 2
Allows the gene carrier to generate a powerful EMP burst centered on themselves, with a radius of about 7 tiles, once every 24 hours. The EMP damage is lower than that of EMP grenades, but the ability has a much larger range and can be cast instantly with no warmup.

As always, a huge thanks to everyone from the Rimworld discord mod-development channel.
