Yeah, load order would probably be the only fix if that's the case. That's a weird bug in their code, but it does explain why no harmony patches were mentioned in the log that was shared

Pretty sure load order is the easiest way to solve so I'll add a tag to mine

I've figured it out. There's an error in the vanilla XML loader where if you load a list element with MayRequireAnyOf above any list elements that don't have MayRequireAnyOf, it throws an error. I've reported this to Ludeon in the past.

We're running into it because we're both adding nullifyingGenes to (I'm pretty sure) ThoughtDef EnvironmentDark. And yours use MayRequireAnyOf, so they need to be lower down than mine to avoid the error.

Thank you

Sorry, should have provided a HugsLib report to begin with. Here it is.

All magic to me, but glad I could help a tiny bit.

Not sure why that would happen, but thank you for letting me know. I'll have to see if it's something solvable on my end or something going on in their harmony patches

If you're running Expanded Biotech Style Genes - All in One, and you're also running Cyanobot's Genes, alongside this one, this mod must be loaded *after* Cyanobot's Genes or you'll get a red error starting with:

Exception loading def from file Thoughts_Situation_General.xml: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object

I spent way too long trying to track this three-mod-combo error, so thought I'd share it.

oh wow im surprised i missed that. thanks for letting me know.

Oh, those technically don't do anything, but I'll upload a fix

The issue with VRE Hussars looks like these two red errors:

Config error in VREH_WeaponAptitudes: Multiple gene categories share the same displayPriorityInXenotype. This can cause display order issues.
Config error in EBSGA_ArchiteAptitudes: Multiple gene categories share the same displayPriorityInXenotype. This can cause display order issues.

Both mods are using displayPriorityInXenotype of 201 in their own GeneCategoryDef (EBSGA_ArchiteAptitudes in this mod and VREH_WeaponAptitudes in VRE Hussars)

Both the More Biotech Style Genes All in One and the Expanded Biotech Style Genes All in One mods can be found in the description. They were both made at the same time as the individual mods with the same code, so you should be safe to just enable those and remove the individual versions

can you make a combined version so its a single mod to add/remove for all of them? would help shortening my 300 modlist by 25

Added piloting genes for those with Odyssey and hacking genes. These genes are available when Productivity Genes, EBSG AiO, or EBSG Lite are enabled

I still do not know what causes things to be forbidden when dropping like that, but as far as i can tell it's a bug related to high yield items (i.e. steel and silver) generating too much too quickly. I don't have any code that alters whether or not an item is forbidden on spawn, so I'm still not sure where the problem is coming from.

The last time it was reported, the individual removed some random genes, and that fixed the issue, but they said it didn't seem to matter which gene they removed because when they used the last gene by itself or with just a few others, the bug never popped up.

I seem to have a very specific issue, adding the archite slaying (generic one x160%) makes all mine ores by the pawn be auto-forbidden, removing the gene with character editor immediately solves the issue.

That is amazingly generic. I don't use VRE Hussars, so I can't even guess what part of this mod what be interfering with whatever that mod contains.

Seems to have an issue with VRE Hussars.

You don't have any of the other mods mentioned in the description.

the mod is only adding 5 new genes pertaining to either metabolism or streamlining, any idea why the rest arent showing?

You are awesome! Thank you. I can't live without those mechanitor genes.

No worries at all, and that makes me feel better. Was sure I was just missing something. Thank you.

I just checked again, and apparently I managed to miss a typo when I uploaded since I made the mistake of not using one of the main EBSG mods for my testing. I'm working on uploading a fix right now.

I am at a loss, then. I've unsubbed and resubbed, I've deleted the whole mod folder. Still, it persists. It is my only red error and it didn't happen before. Ah well. No worries. Am sure it is something on my end somewhere.

I made that update a week and a half ago. If you still have the error then Steam may have decided not to update your version, so you'll have to purge the existing one to make steam redownload it.

Shall keep a close eye for an update as I love this one.

Looks like I missed a check for making sure those actually exist. I'll have a fix out shortly.

I second that error.

I'm getting some new errors with the mod after the update.

Thank you.
Forcing a redownload has fixed it

You shouldn't need to do anything to force the level to update. It should increase the aptitude same as the vanilla aptitude genes, where the base level isn't messed with but the effective level increases. If the skills levels aren't green in the bio tab, try forcing both this mod and the EBSG Framework to redownload.

I've just given a pawn Archite Enhanced Shooting, Melee and crafting genes.

But their skills remain at their low level. How can I force those skill stats to update?

@pejman lol, look up a biologist named michael levin, the machine spirit may be even more plausible than you currently think

Yeah I had the issue out of nowhere and I run 600 mods so it took me a while to narrow it down especially since it's not even a "direct" bug and the error message didn't help beyond knowing it was related to the environmentdark nullifying genes xD. (And the patches all seem to be done cleanly which makes it even weirder).

Everyday I spend programming, the WH40K whole machine spirit thing sound more and more believable.

I honestly have no clue why it would do that. I just tried it in my game and also got the error, so we may have stumbled on some weird vanilla bug. Our patches don't appear to actually be failing, but I'm going to update my files to force this mod to load after those just to be safe. Thank you for letting me know about the error!

somehow loading this BEFORE VRE insectoid and lycanthrope gives an error about something null in enironmentdark nullyfying gene (seems fine if loaded after) took me a while to find out the issue xD

.....Hey....Drug Blood genes. That's a fantastic War Crime Idea.....

imagine how terrifying someone with these genes would be for pirate factions xD

They appear at the bottom of the genes list when ignore restrictions is active as long as you have the EBSG Framework, and either the More Biotech Style Genes All-in-One or More Drug Genes.

i don't know if it has been asked before but where is the blood drug genes? they still have yet to show up in my game

makes sense. btw, i absolutely love this mod.

They activate a couple seconds after spawning to avoid some weird pawn generation issues that were popping up. If you have random part removal stuff from health genes it occurs shortly after that.

nevermind, it just only applies after you get into the game. interesting.

the genes like Archite Enhanced Intellectual and the rest of that set of genes are not working at all, they don't effect passion and they also don't effect the actual level of the skills, rendering them basically a waste.

The issue I was having is fixed.

The unwarranted Genetic Joy happening on my game is all gone now. Thanks for the great work.

Had to rewrite some stuff and learned some weird facts, but I believe I have managed to rid the world of all these bugs. If you still get errors try unsubscribing and resubscribing to the mod then verifying file integrity, and if it still creates errors after that please let me know so I can take a look.

Guess that explains why I had stuff coded the way I did before. I'll start going through all the genes and see if I can fix the issues. Apologies for the errors everyone.

Thought it was the EBSG Framework causing the issue. But it was this gene.

Here's the log.

https://gist.github.com/HugsLibRecordKeeper/c00caf0c455be4d65d3615db6218b788 It's on loadup.

Seems like all my colonists are getting all the bonus from happiness genes.
Everyone has +20 +40 +60 mood from "Genetic Joy" with a description of this mod.

Tried deleting it with Character Editor, it comes back instantly after. Maybe the mod somehow applied all the happy genes on all pawns accidentally?
