Description

Features

- More than 300 new genes. Some are very low impact, while some are truly game changing.
- 16 new xenotypes with wild mechanics.
- A new "Custom random" xenotype that allows you to make new player created xenotypes, and have them loaded into two new custom factions.
- Abandoned Biotech labs quests, similar to the ones in VE Genetics, that give access to all the new genes during play.
- Genetic tools that allow you to tweak your colonists' genes. Obtainable through lab quests or normal quest rewards.

A list of genes can be found on this Google Docs document. Bear in mind Steam will probably censor this link as always: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CtbPQq6rouj-7lhVWQdJz4ysWFtxvly1yTYiZ-Si1a4/edit?usp=sharing

Future plans

FAQ

Q: Can I add it mid-playthrough to an existing save? Can I remove the mod?
A: You can add it whenever. You can't remove mods from a save and expect it not to be messed up.

Q: I don’t like certain things, can I remove them?
A: Use Owlchemist's Cherry Picker mod!

Q: Does this need Alpha Animals / Biomes / etc
A: No, though a couple more genes will be added if you have them too

Q: Can I suggest a new gene?
A: Without a doubt! Please use the pinned Suggestions thread or I may not see it

Q: Is it compatible with another mod that adds genes?
A: Depends on what genes such mod adds. Generally speaking, yes. I only assure compat with VE mods and things RedMattis does because he's cool

Q: Does this work with Combat Extended?
A: It should

Q: Does this work with multiplayer mods?
A: No support for any multiplayer mod from me. Updates will probably break it

Q: Reeeeeee, this is bloat!
A: I'm rubber, you are glue

The Forsaken were ported to Biotech by Major Quadrangle and Matsay, who graciously allowed me to adapt their work to this mod. Credit to Kikohi, Trunken and Immortalus for maintaining the Forsakens mod for years, as well as Crisp and ChJees for the original concept of them.

Thanks to Oskar Potocki for being a good friend.

My Lapis children don't seem to be automatically eating metal when they need to. Is there a setting I might have missed?

An imprisoned Lapsis throws this excepttion. They are also paralyzed if that's important.

JobDriver threw exception in toil ChewMetal's initAction for pawn Red driver=JobDriver_FeedPatient (toilIndex=3) driver.job=(AG_FeedMetal (Job_1939488) A = Thing_Steel124016 B = Thing_Human115277 Giver = JobGiver_Work [workGiverDef: AG_AdministerMetal])
