Operating removes the existing Xenogerm, and when your xenogerm requires 8 archite capsules, it's kinda unreliable to do so. Please

@Rovstam What's wrong with implanting/operating it in?

Could you make it so Xenogerms can be Injected?

@FotisP68n It looks like the person is using the in-game's own genes so it should work? If not can you give me the names of the genepacks that isn't working and I'll see what I can do.

Can you please add compatibility with the new "[SH]Gene Expand" genes? I use this mod a lot and it's essential for my playthrough's and that mod adds very fitting and great genes for me, so if possible please consider update this, thank you!

@Aboliax Added a link to your mod on the FAQ page. Let me know if you rather I didn't link to your mod and I'll remove it.

@amm90 It should. As far as I am aware they don't add in any new genepacks but use the ones already in game.

does it work with vanilla races expanded mods?

I came to grab a link to the mod for my description, but noticed the well timed discussion. I just put out a mod that lowers the coma over time: "Xenogermination Accelerator". I often play with Inject Genes and also find I want to reduce the coma time. Right now its hard set to 1/8th reduction but I will add some settings to make it adjustable to the users preference when I get some time.

@Wistala thanks for the answer.
And cool that the feature to lower coma time will come some day.

I dont know much about modding rimworld, but would it posible to force the genepack injection to others?
Even if the mod would stays how it is. Thank you for modding this in how it already is <3

@Wolferus Oh that's the game. I didn't add the coma I used the game's own. So it's the doctor part is from the game itself or you have a mod for it.

@Atrolysk On the list. No ETA, sorry.

@Quiala On the list as well. Both of you can use turn on the dev mode, then go god mode, then back into the Health menu and you should have an option to remove it entirely. Not optimal and immersive breaking, but better than nothing for the time being.

Talk about good doctor to lower coma time, i never see that option, but would be nice if we have something like that, or a mod option to lower the coma time, cause the coma time just slow me down in late game tbh

Is there a way to lower/raise the recovery time in the settings, or would you consider adding that?

i self injected the gene and then the xeno coma thingy said "With good medical fatility and a good doctor the coma time can be lowered".
And that coma came from the self inject from this mod. Soooo i though that text implies that doctors can inject the genes at others to lower the coma to maybe 1 day

@Wolferus It has always been self inject. So that's intended. But what do you mean by the text says a good doctor can lower it? I have not added in text that like, when and where it show up?

Testen/played with this mod a bit. The only 'problem' i cant force inject the gene to somebody. Only self inject.
The text of the coma says that a good doctor could lower the time of the coma. But if its only self inject it makes less sense.

Thank you for updating to 1.6 I was to dumb to figure out genes normally so this was needed lol.

LET GOOOOOOOO!!!, time to build my ultimate pawn that eat 10 time normal pawn

Thanks!

Updated to 1.6, enjoy. I do not own Odyssey at the moment so can't test that, but should be fine. Let me know if I am mistaken of course.

@Karkino, working as intended. It's a feature highly requested, but in implemented yet.

Tested it with 1.6 and so far no issues or errors.

@Quilava and I am hoping you will keep you passive aggressive behaviour to yourself ... just be fckn grateful

1.6 finally release, im hoping to see the update soon as author promised

for those worried. this still works fine in 1.6. sadly you cant force inject into another pawn. only "self use"

please update

1.6 update coming?

I refuse to play the game without this mod! Thanks for it!

pardon my earlier comment. it was disturbance from lycanthrope VRE mod. apparently it has it's own germline inject method, unlike default gene implant. when using regular gene implant from vanilla DLC, any injected xenogene from source host will carry over to new host

I got good build of sanguophage + extra injected genes, but when i implant gene to other pawn, they only retain default sanguophage. is this intended, or just a matter of sorting issue?

Once 1.6 has been officially released I'll have a look.

1.6pl

1,6?

How's this work with Archites / Archogenes? Do you need them still or no?

@Twilight @morse_feri No sorry, it's on list but it's been on the list for a while now, sorry.

is there a way to administer the genes like a drug to other pawns like prisoners? speaking of dead calm and alike

Any way to have another pawn inject genes into another pawn? Or any way to allow a Ghoul to inject genes? Trying a run through where individual genes can only be injected rather than the unlimited copying via xenogerm, and have a ghoul I want to tweak genes on and the normal inject option doesnt work for him.

@Quilava: Faster Gene Coma Recovery

https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3018955558

@Quilava. No, sorry, not unless you use Dev mode and remove it.

May i ask, is there a way for pond to recover from xeno coma faster? I love to build a super pond but the 2 day come every time you inject gene just too long for me

No, it just allows the comp to work on xenogerms.
In order to make the XML patching obsolete one would need to change the code from being a comp to a thingClass and patch the base class (GeneSetHolderBase) via Harmony.
Wouldn't do that. Comps are better than thingClass since you can stack the former until you puke, while a thingDef can only be one thingClass.

However, the XML patches can be simplified. Currently every thingDef gets its own patch operation.

Changing the XPath from
Defs/ThingDef[defName="Genepack"]
to
Defs/ThingDef[thingClass="Genepack"]
in
AddGeneToGenepacks.xml
removes the need for all other patches.
In other words: currently the patches target every item separately, like the Biotech Genepack, the Alpha Genes Alphapack and Mixedpack, and so on. With the changed XPath one patch targets the whole item category.

@grijnskat would that mean I wouldn't need to add patches anymore?

Nice mod. But if I may offer one thing to improve:
the reference to the Genepack class in GetCompleteGeneList() should be replaced with ..parent.GetType().BaseType == typeof(GeneSetHolderBase).

This way your code becomes compatible with any ThingClass that can hold genes, like Xenogerm injectors. For ppl like me, who like to craft an injector first, instead of chugging down raw genepacks. ;)

@King DaMuncha Look under "Compatibility" should answer all your questions :D

What about the Vanilla Enhanced genes?

thx!

Reminds me a lot of the XCOM2 workshop community. Huge overhauls and tiny config tweaks everywhere. Always keeping over a hundred little mods in every playthrough.
In Rimworld my mod creep has run up to... 114. Oh dear.

@JazzimoX That's what's great with a modding community, you can play however you want :)

Ah, thanks for the clarification.
If I may, I also really enjoy the Gene Reprocesser mod, which adds a building for it + some time/resource cost. https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3277539761
Really helps me tailor genes before making xenogerms (or just straight up drinking them into my genetic code).

@JazzimoX To the metabolism question;
I have actually never tested it that far so I am not sure. The test I did was done with no mods, to make sure it worked, but I didn't it test that far, and since I use a mod that removes the metabolism altogether, I can't tell if it does or not. It's either going to allow it, or block it.

To the choosing which part;
No, you can't choose, all the genes in the pack will be injected unless there is a duplicate gene in that case you can't inject it at all. I suggest using Split Genepack https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2905371517&searchtext=Split if you want to split your genes.

Can I inject genes if they would put my pawn below -5 metabolism? And by the pictures, can I choose which part of the gene pack to inject instead of the whole thing?

⸢TEXT⸥ Yolojop Are the genes in a custom genepack or does it use the vanilla genepacks? The genepacks I am on about are those you can see on the banner (first picture) If he uses those then a patch isn't needed, if he does not use those but his own then yeah.
