Changes:

• Chimera has been slightly nerfed. Now the tool genes will be given less often. This change is due to the fact that there are now a lot of tools.
• The time required to copy genes using the "Gene mark" ability has been halved.
• Eternal hunger has been reworked. It now works more clearly.
  • Hunger is now synchronized with hemogen.
  • The gene is no longer mutually exclusive with the bloodeater gene and the genes complement each other.
  • Pawns with this gene will no longer bite on their own.
  • A special diet for pawns with this gene has been added. (New game only)
  • Raw meat is now considered to be anything in the raw meat category, not just in the main directory.
  • The gene no longer requires the bloodfeeder ability.
• Chimera now has a limit on the number of xenogenes a pawn can have. Default 21 genes (3 rows).
  • The limit does not take into account endogenes.
  • The limit can be raised or lowered by subgenes.
  • Too low a limit can block the use of a chimera.
  • The limit takes into account all xenogenes of the pawn, even those obtained without the help of a chimera.
• The icons for the Chimera and some subgens have been updated to better match the overall style.
• Changed formula for calculating the price of mechs for the Voidlink gene. Now combat mechs are more expensive, but on average all mechs are cheaper.
• Increased the mech limit for the Voidlink gene and its subgenes.
• Golem skills have been slightly reduced.
• The "Spawn xenotypes in factions" option has been returned. The option has been returned "as is" without any changes.
• The "Regeneration sleep" gene buttons have been moved to the "Genes settings" gizmo.
• Updated the mechaskin texture to a higher quality.
• Updated mechlink gene icons.
• Updated metalkin xenotype icon.
• Slightly optimized and reworked the mechanics of the deadlife builder gene. Now the ability is cast simultaneously for all owners of the gene and the effect is no longer applied to the same object several times.
• Now the chimera marks all conflicting genes, as well as genes that are already present in endogenes.
• Regeneration of the fleshmass nucleus gene has been reworked. Now regeneration is calculated not through vanilla, but through the gene and depends on the number and level of mutations.
  • This is done because vanilla regeneration does not work in some situations for values ​​less than ~50.
  • Also, now fleshmass regen ignores scarification.
• Removed duplicate option "Enable reincarnation mechanic" as it does the same thing as "Reincarnation chance" slider.
• Darklight no longer counts as light for the Noctol light sensitive gene.

Fixes:

• Fixed a bug where devourer was giving too much experience for eating pawns with a large geneset.
• Fixed a bug where it was possible to create gene dupes using some of the tool subgenes. (Chimera gene)
• Fixed a bug where geneharvest (and similar) would not check if the target pawn belonged to the player.
• Fixed a bug where using the devourer ability would not trigger a faction reputation change when the target was not important.
• Fixed a bug due to which dryads remained on the ground after the gravship took off.
• Fixed a bug due to which dryads recreated the cocoon after the gravship landed.
• Fixed a bug where resource genes had an extra delta tick in the formula, causing them to be more/worse efficient than they should be.
• Bloodeater now uses the correct command for downed bloodfeed when the mode is different from basic.
• Fixed a bug where corpsefeeder would throw the wrong message when trying to use it on a dessisicated corpse.
• Added a patch that should fix the duplicate flag, the patch only works if 3 options were enabled (Human component, vanilla fix and mechanics trigger)
  • Currently it works only for new pawns. For already broken duplicates it does not work.
• Fixed a bug where duplicating Thralls was impossible.
• Fixed a bug where post recovery gene did not prevent shapeshifter from receiving genetic materials.

Warnings:

• Don't forget to check the settings!
