Packmule Gene

I normally would not consider asking about a combat extended patch, especially since it's not broken, but if you add a line, it should also increase bulk capacity. This is directed at really anyone who knows how to properly patch, (and uses CE) I was able to do it with minimal knowledge, but i don't know how to apply a patch that doesn't re upload the mod itself.

Updated for 1.6, now to wait for Community Framework to be updated.

Ah, I did not consider how impactful a lowered carry weight would be! There's always the more "boring" option of having a "baseline carryweight gene" to nullify it's effect instead. There's also other mods that might enable a lower carry weight gene to function, like the torse implants from EPOE forked, which add carry weight, so it could be a bit of a "if I went down the artificial enhancement path, I can take the metabolic efficiency in the genes" sort of thing. Since the malus is so impactful, perhaps a -10kg for +1 metabolism would be sufficient to enable that mechanic of gene muting without totally disabling a pawn? Just thinking out loud here, you clearly put a lot more thought than me into it!

@Neville I didn't do that because of how crippling I thought it may be. Depending on the character and their gear this could be a minor issue or completely disabling. A character's gear and inventory are calculated in their carry capacity and takes up a fair bit of it. If a character has heavy gear they may not be able to carry anything and be unable to haul items for tasks and since manipulation affects carry weight you could easily get to a point where characters can't even be geared out. This is also why these traits can be pretty powerful, a 33% boost results in much more than 33% increase to free weight since a lot of it is taken up by gear and other stuff like meals they carry.

I could probably do it but even a -25kg weight perk would be hard to balance around a complexity/metabolism value because of how much of an effect it can have. Especially now that hauling AI was improved to grab things along the way, having very little spare weight could slow things down a lot.

Hello, I really like this mod, but I would like to suggest that having at least one negative version of the pack gene would be highly beneficial. Example: Meek, -25 carry weight, 1 complexity, +1 metabolism.

The main reason is, that one essential feature of biotech is being able to "overwrite" gene expression by using the a negative (i.e. psychically dull would overwrite psychically sensitive, thus freeing up metabolism points). This also comes into play when creating custom xenogerms, where the metabolism cost might get out of whack due to having say packyderm in the same pack with something else you want, then adding the "Meek" gene could turn that into a net +4 metabolism for that xenogerm for example.

It's just one of the fun parts to fiddle with, being able to mute certain genes and I think the mod would be better if that was included (obviously -25 carry weight is not desirable, but it would be a valuable option and make for interesting choices).

Cheers!

Updated for 1.5

So I too have the "It's doing nothing" bug- I'm going to try and rearrange my mods and see what's up.

@Bardez Good to know.

Looks like one of my Wretches (Alpha Genes) just mutated packyderm (+75) as well, so I guess I asked too early

I jumped the whole planet going from high-tech settlement to high-tech settlement and in fact found one for trade! So they do appear in-game, it just takes a lot of RNG
