Anthrosonae

Anthrosonae are a category of xenotypes designed to resemble various anthropomorphized animals, ranging from foxes to dragons, cats to wolves, et cetera. While they look quite different, generally they are functionally identical to baseliner humans. Related xenogerms are commercially available among many spacer-tech and ultra-tech societies, often as part of an exotic fashion trend or to affirm an individual's identity. Contrary to popular belief, anthrosona genes are engineered from the ground-up without any splicing from their animal counterparts.

Anthrosonae is a successor to the Anthromorphs project. It is designed to blend in seamlessly with vanilla content. No unnecessary items, factions, or mechanics will be added. Genes are purely cosmetic.


• 15 new xenotypes—cats, cattle, foxes, goats, hyenas, red pandas, wolves, etc...
• 59 new genes—ears, fur, tails, horns, etc...
• 14 new hairstyles
• Fur color customization—including Pawn Editor and styling bench integration (you can also customize via gizmo in dev mode, with god mode enabled)
• In-game generation—anthrosonae pawns will generate among vanilla factions and events (and Vanilla Expanded additions)
• Anomaly compatibility—ghouls, shamblers, etc...


Toggleable patches are located under Vanilla Framework Expanded in the mod options tab.

• Enable inheritability determines whether anthrosonae genes are endogenes that can be passed on, or xenogenes which cannot (requires either resetting pawns' genes via dev mode, or a fresh save, disabled by default)
• Enable unnatural fur colors determines whether anthrosonae pawns will generate with exotic fur colors (does not remove exotic fur color options from customization, enabled by default)
• Enable anthrosonae genes generating in genepacks determines whether anthrosonae genes will generate in genepacks sold by traders (disabled by default)
• Enable debug pawns determines whether anthrosonae pawn kinds exist or not, for debugging purposes (spawnable via dev mode, disabled by default)
