Ancient Genes

---

Adds enhanced and inheritable versions of archite genes (minus Deathless and Gene Implanter). Also adds the ability genes exclusive for hemogenic pawns (including the removed "Resurrect" gene).

Originally starting as a fork of Inheritable Uninheritables, these genes since have had their texture, names and flavor text changed alongside adding additional functions.

These are the main genes of the mod. These genes have had their archite requirements stripped off and metabolic costs set at 0 (with the exception of Archite Metabolism). Two new genes have been added to supplement the lack of required archite capsules and inheritability.


The de facto requirement for every gene in the mod. Psychological recondition gives access to Central modification and boosts learning rate and mental fortitude. Unfortunately, the sensitive nature of neurological and psychological modification gives the carrier violent, antisocial behavioral tendencies and extreme impediment to language and speech.


The secondary requirement for all genes. Central modification gives access to all other genes (sans the Ability genes) and enhances all general nervous and sensory functions (consciousness, sight, hearing). This comes with side effects that completely disassociate carriers from the greater psychic field and actively discouraging carriers from performing certain complex sociological functions such as romance and intimacy.


Primal Immunization inherits its archite predecessor's ability while augmenting it by additionally protecting the carrier from obscure, niche diseases (blood rot, scaria, paralytic abasia) and doubling the immune system's efficacy in fighting diseases that it does not protect from.


Hormonal Coordination inherits its archite predecessor's ability while augmenting it by additionally protecting the carrier from hearing loss. It also provides the carrier with a boost in metabolism / digestion.


Progenitor Retention inherits its archite predecessor's ability while augmenting it by additionally providing a massive enhancement to the carrier's healing factors.


Genesis Imitation inherits its archite predecessor's ability while augmenting it by additionally multiplying the carrier's lifespan factor by 10.


Metabolic Invigoration inherits its archite predecessor's ability while augmenting it by additionally protecting from food poisoning and mutating the stomach into a multi-fold digestive tract, amplifying the nutrition gained from eating raw food.

The secondary genes of the mod. These genes are mostly adopted from sanguophage's / hemogenic's abilities with one exception. In exhange for not requiring hemogen / archite capsules, these abilities have charges and become replenished in 12 or 24 hours (also with one exception).


Messianic Rejuvenation is an elusive and potentially world-breaking ability that requires Genesis Imitation in order to be utilized properly. It has the power to resurrect living beings through copious use of hepatocytes, stem cells and hormones. This ability has no charges and has a fixed cooldown of 120 days (2 years). It additionally provides a boost in blood filtration.


Digitigrade Locomotion is a movement ability that requires Hormonal Coordination in order to be utilized properly. It grants the ability to Leap to any location in line-of-sight within a 40-cell radius via stem cells and hormones. It possesses five charges and it becomes replenished in 12 hours. It additionally provides a boost in movement.


Sympathetic Regeneration is a healing ability that requires Progenitor Retention in order to be utilized properly. It provides the carrier with the ability to quickly tend to others' wounds via redirected flow from an additional chamber in the heart. It can also be redirected to one's self. It has three charges and it becomes replenished in 24 hours. It additionally provides a boost in blood pumping.


Ossific Weaponization is an offensive ability that requires Primal Immunization in order to be utilized properly. It allows the carrier to fire cartilaginous spines via an upper chest opening and nitrous oxide propellant. It has five charges and it becomes replenished in 24 hours. It additionally provides the carrier with some degree of damage reduction.

I was getting tired of using archotech wizardry and the entirety of cyberpunk so I went ahead to the great frontier where no unbalanced min-maxer has ever gone before: genetics. This is shown in the numerous capacity boosts I sprinkled here and there on the genes.


Balance? What balance?

(This is my first time modding and I usually use modlists where I end up with essentially either the Ubersoldats from Wolfenstein or the Rakyat from Far Cry 3. Balance is probably non-existent (I tried with the two added pre-requisites and it probably failed miserably lmfao)).


Deathless I cannot add since it requires some degree of C# shenanigans (the Deathless gene class ONLY applies to base game Deathless and no other gene). I'm starting to learn C# to dish out more schizophrenic shenanigans, however, so (fingers crossed) it'll probably get added in a future update.


The lack of gene implanter is also one of my ""balance"" changes (since it'll be hilarious horrifying to see an entire colony of fleshy Securitrons on day 3 not that you wouldn't do it in day 1 in the first place lmfao).


Look, buddy, I only did like three google searches for each flavor text of a gene. Obviously, most of it will sound like overuse of jargon and mishmashing medical and scientific facts. However, I'm a loreworm and I like lore and my milk lore is delicious.


Yes. Since I've already abandoned the notion of balance, might as well drive the mile. Coming soon (probably): psychic abilities made not psychic and into genes /// genetic creatine and steroids ON STEROIDS (RAGGHHH) /// and genetic mechanitors (also on steroids RAGGHHH).
