CRIMSPR - Core Module

Hello World! At long last, after nearly 600 hours of playing Rimworld and from all the way back in alpha, I present to you my first ever official mod. I suspect this is a good one, and a very important one for opening up the true potential of Biotech!

Don't you find it frustrating that vanilla Biotech genomes are rather rigid? Upset that Baseliners only have two germline genes that you can viciously reappropriate in your mad scientist playthru?

Look no further!!!

This mod overhauls the vanilla xenotypes using the "SpawnThoseGenes!" framework. Instead of having conflicting germline genes in a xenotype, every newly created pawn now has dedicated germline gene categories for their skin color, hair color, body type, and beauty. In addition, dozens of more genes are added into the game to, in a vanilla fashion, expand the cosmetic variety of the pawns as they are created. This mod is a part of CRIMSPR, a new modding project that seeks to overhaul and expand Rimworld's genomes.



Overhauls How Vanilla Genomes Work

• Each gene of the same type are placed in distinct categories
  
• No longer do xenotypes have two genes in one category that override one-another
  
• For the baseliner and each xenotype, there are chance weights for what gene they spawn with per-category
  
• Lightweight and seamless tweak to genetics that makes a massive difference

Expands Pawn Genomes

• Hair Color is now a dedicated germline gene category
  
• Skin color is now a dedicated germline gene category
  
• Body Type is now a dedicated germline gene category
  
• Beauty is now a dedicated germline gene category
  
• Removed the traitdefs that give the beauty trait, that's what the genes are for!

Adds More Genes

• Adds 77 new hair colors
  
• Adds 83 new skin colors
  
• Adds a new beauty gene for "normal" looks, so beauty can now be spectral for all races

Adds More Gene Possibilities

• Not only are those genes added, but these genes are also implanted in pawn spawn chances, unlike other gene mods
  
• Each xenotype has a distribution of possibilities to spawn in with those genes, genes and probabilities dependent on xenotype flavor
  
• For example, Humans now have 21 different possibilities for skin color up from 9, Impids now have 15 up from 3, etc
  
• All category possibilities are balanced; 1.5% of Genies will have Hulky bodies; 10.2489% of Neanderthals will have Light-Brown Hair

Savegame compatible?

Probably not a great idea to add nor remove since it nukes vanilla traits, and adds in the essential genes to all pawns.

Can u patch X modded xenotype?

In due time, I want to build out CRIMSPR a bit more and up my modding skills so as to streamline that process. Perhaps once CRIMSPR and "SpawnThoseGenes!" is understood a bit more, other modders can roll compatibility patches into their mods without me having to do a modded xenotype megamod. In the meantime, I encourage you to make those patches yourself! It's quite straightforward, all in XML, and "SpawnThoseGenes!" has example code in their mod file.

Can u CRIMSPR-ify X bunch of genes or X gene mod?

In due time, I hope to enfold tons of different gene categories in the CRIMSPR network under various modules. I am rather new to modding, so I'd like to interact with the community in order to gauge popular demand before moving forward... and hopefully finish university here.

What if I don't like the gene spawn balances?

You don't have to! Here are a couple things you can do—

1. Drop your suggestion in the comments; I'll be sure to read every single one and engage in the dialectic for future updates.
   
2. Alter the spawn weights in my mod files; just input "2904282270" in "Steam\steamapps\workshop" to find the correct .xml files; be sure to save copies of your bespoke chance weights tho, in case I update this mod.
   
3. Use dev mode to alter a pawn's germline; great for on the fly tweaking of important colonists, in case a bright pink Highmate shivers ye timbers.

None reported so far; please let us know if there is one--

To be figured out! (But as the mod is designed, it should not be incompatible with much. All vanilla genes are still included, meaning that modded xenotypes still play nice with CRIMSPR.)

If I disappear, y'all have free reign to resurrect the mod. You can use CRIMSPR genes in your own works (I don't exactly own colors), though I'd appreciate a shoutout :] I'd be flattered if you'd include CRIMSPR mods in a collection; I however assert dominance over the CRIMSPR brand >:}
