Outland - Genetics

Adds an excessive amount of genes, some cosmetic, some functional! Some massively OP! But those would never spawn on pawns without another mod making it happen so they're all opt-in. I have extended Tweaks Galore to allow the controlling of what genes can spawn along with the release of this mod so you can decide for yourself if you want them to show up during normal gameplay.

This is standalone and does not require Outland - Core but genes may be included that are made with it and other Outland modules in mind.


These images provide a teaser of what's available, there's too many to just individually list for what little information would be necessary.















Compatible mods with known Issues:

• Vanilla Races Expanded - Androids - They'll function fine separately as far as I know, just don't expect every gene to work, especially the automatically generated ones like geneline implanters and ascension genes.
  
• Xenotype Spawn Control - Due to the way the random gene generating is implemented in that mod, other mods like this one cannot tell it not to spawn them. This is their problem, not mine.
  
• Humanoid Alien Races - Can work fine alongside without any additional issues, but some races may have weird interactions with genes and xenotypes.

I am not aware of any other incompatibilities, but keep in mind that there will possibly be overlap with other mods adding genes. You can use Tweaks Galore to hide some from spawning if you want to prevent multiple different ones showing up in genepacks.


First of all I recommend checking out the collection linked at the top of the description for the listing of Outland modules currently available, no point in me listing them all here and having to update the description every time one comes out (which I would absolutely forget to do). Otherwise I also recommend these:

• Custom Xenotype Exporter Tool - Allows you to export your custom xenotypes as a REAL def, letting mods like this one actually see them. Make sure to read the description for all the details!

I have done a decent amount of testing myself, but things will of course slip through the gaps. So...

• Gene categories have changed with this?
  Yes they have a little, I patch the vanilla genes a little to split them where it makes sense, I've tested alongside other mods adding genes and for the most part they make sense still and there were no actual issues.
  
  
• I don't want all of these tho?
  Then use Tweaks Galore and prevent them spawning in genepacks, and if them existing at all is an issue there's always Cherry Picker.
  
  
• Does this work without Biotech?
  The fact this has been asked multiple times on mods that build upon basic functionality provided by Biotech makes me genuinely concerned for your wellbeing.
