Mods "[Bombastic Perks] Add Stormwrought line of playstyle perks"

Purpose of change

Always wanted to put something into the game that referenced this (aka the Catgirl gene), and finally figured out to a way to do it that's not silly.

Describe the solution

Add a set of playstyle perks, called Stormwrought [X], where [X] is one of Bird, Feline, Insect, Lupine, Plant, or Spider. These trigger EoCs that, when you're out unprotected in a portal storm, run every 5-30 minutes and have a 1/3 chance when they trigger to mutate you in the appropriate category. Post-instability rework, this just uses u_mutate_category, since there's no necessity to use vitamins to track instability anymore. Edit: u_mutate_category seems to automatically bring up the mutation selector which doesn't fit with portal storm randomness, so it's back to mutagen. To work around the issues with u_mutate_category, the EoC adds primer and mutagen, forces a mutation with u_mutate, then removes primer and mutagen to return to baseline, causing one mutation per EoC trigger.

You can only have one Stormwrought perk.

There's no reason to limit it to those mutation lines, I just had to start somewhere.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Testing

Traits exist and are selectable, show up in their own menu (so they don't overwhelm the other Playstyle perks if more are added), and hanging out in a portal storm causes mutation. Mutagen properly removed after mutating. Wearing a 5-point anchor prevents mutation.

Additional context

It'd be nice if u_mutate_category had a kwarg that turned on or off the selector. I double-checked and SHOW_MUTATION_SELECTOR is set as false (the test world just had default mods + Bombastic Perks)

Hints for adding a new word to the dictionary

• If the word is normally in all lowercase, such as the noun word or the verb does, add it in its lower-case form; if the word is a proper noun, such as the surname George, add it in its initial-caps form; if the word is an acronym or has special letter case, such as the acronym CDDA or the unit mW, add it by preserving the case of all the letters. A word in the dictionary will also match its initial-caps form (if the word is in all lowercase) and all-uppercase form, so a word should be added to the dictionary in its normal letter case even if used in a different letter case in a sentence.
• For a word to be added to the dictionary, it should either be a real, properly-spelled modern American English word, a foreign loan word (including romanized foreign names), or a foreign or made-up word that is used consistently and commonly enough in the game. Intentional misspelling (including eye dialect) of a word should not be added unless it has become a common terminology in the game, because while someone may have a legitimate use for it, another person may spell it that way accidentally.

Drafting to account for threshold breaking with the add mutagen / mutate/ subtract mutagen method. Will implement tomorrow

Alright, this approach works and doesn't cause negative primer levels or anything.

OOH I just realized it would be very thematic for Dinomod to have this for their Dino trees.
