'''Genes''' are a system for modifying [[human]] pawns, added by the [[Biotech DLC]]. They can be obtained from character creation or implanted via [[xenogerm]]s.

== Mechanics ==
Genetics are limited by metabolic efficiency, denoted by the [[File:Metabolism.png|20px|Metabolism]] symbol. This affects pawns' [[hunger rate]]. Harmful genes improve metabolic efficiency, lowering hunger rate, and thus consuming less food overall. Helpful genes lower metabolic efficiency, getting hungry faster. A baseline human has a metabolic efficiency of 0 (100% hunger rate), and genes can bring it as low as -5 (225% hunger rate) or up to 5 (50% hunger rate). The game will not allow the creation of xenogerms with a metabolic efficiency lower than -5.

Note that genes with over [[File:Metabolism.png|20px|Metabolism]] 5 cannot be extracted by themselves, and must be extracted in a pack with another gene that lowers metabolism cost.

Complexity, denoted by the [[File:Complexity.png|20px|Complexity]] symbol, affects how many [[gene processor]]s you need to create a [[xenogerm]] from a set of genes. A [[gene assembler]] can create xenogerms with a maximum complexity of 6, plus 2 for every attached gene processor. Complexity also determines the base time it takes to create the xenogerm, ranging from 4 hours at ≤3 complexity, to 23 hours at ≥20 complexity (which is then scaled by the [[research speed]] of whoever operates the gene assembler).

== Gene expression ==
When looking at a pawn's gene tab, each gene can be considered to be in one of three categories:
* [[File:GeneBackground Endogene.png|32px]] Germline Genes
* [[File:GeneBackground_Xenogene.png|32px]] Xenogenes
* [[File:GeneBackground ArchiteGene.png|32px]] Archite genes

Germline genes are freely distributed through and only through [[reproduction]]. Xenogenes are genes that have been [[Operation|surgically implanted]] through a xenogerm, and can override germline genes that are identical to or conflict with the xenogene; a [[Dirtmole]] that was converted into a [[Sanguophage]] will have half of their genes overwritten by the Sanguophage xenotype. Xenogerms cannot be passed through reproduction.

Note that germline and xenogenes are determined by the way they are obtained, not by the effects of the gene itself. For example, there is only one [[fire resistant]] gene coded into the game - "germline fire resistant" and "xenogene fire resistant" are the same gene obtained in different ways. Trying to have both would simply disable the redundant germline version.

Archite genes are non-inheritable (even if they are forced into the germline of a [[Xenotypes#Customization|custom xenotype]]) and xenogerms containing them must be supplied with the requested number of [[archite capsules]] before being assembled. Archite genes cannot extracted through the [[gene extractor]], but can be implanted using the [[gene implanter]] ability.

== Work Required ==
The work required to create a xenogerm is determined by its [[File:Complexity.png|20px|Complexity]]. First, a base value is obtained from the post-process curve with the points:
:{| class="wikitable"
|-
! colspan=2 |Xenogerm work
|-
|
* (0, 3)
* (4, 5)
* (8, 8)
* (12, 12)
* (16, 17)
* (20, 23)
| {{Graph:Chart|width=400|height=100|type=line|x=0,4,8,12,16,20|y=3,5,8,12,17,23|xAxisTitle=Gene Complexity}}
|}
This value is then multiplied by 2500 to obtain the final number.
:{| class="wikitable"
|-
! colspan=2 |Xenogerm work
|-
|
* (0, 7500)
* (4, 12500)
* (8, 20000)
* (12, 30000)
* (16, 42500)
* (20, 57500)
| {{Graph:Chart|width=400|height=100|type=line|x=0,4,8,12,16,20|y=7500,12500,20000,30000,42500,57500|xAxisTitle=Gene Complexity}}
|}
The actual time required is inversely proportional with the [[research speed]] of whoever operates the gene assembler. At 100% research speed, it takes between {{ticks|7500}} (for 0 complexity) to {{ticks|57500}} (for complexity 20 and above).

:''Implant this person's xenogenes into a willing subject using a special injector organ. If this person's genes are currently regrowing, they will implant their xenogerm and die in the process. When implanted, a xenogerm will overwrite the target's xenogenes. Germline genes will be unaffected.''
:* Passes on a copy of all xenogenes to a target. Both pawns will start regrowing genes for a [[Time|period of around 2 years]]. The pawn that implants the genes will suffer [[Hediffs/Biotech/Various/Gene_loss_shock|gene loss shock]] for 2 days as well. The pawn receiving the xenogerm will be put into [[Hediffs/Biotech/Various/Xenogermination_coma|xenogermination coma]] for a flat 2 days.
:* Using this ability while genes are regrowing will kill the caster and remove all of their xenogenes.
:* Cannot target a hostile pawn unless they are [[downed]].
:* Cannot target members of a temporary faction, even if they are downed. This can be worked-around by [[Prisoner|imprisoning]] the pawn then [[Slavery|enslaving]] or recruiting them, which changes their faction.
:* The caster must have xenogenes, and the target must be of a different [[xenotype]].
:* If the target's [[ideoligion]]{{IdeologyIcon}} includes one or more [[Ideoligion#Xenotype_preferences|xenotype preferences]],{{IdeologyIcon}} the caster's xenotype must match one of target's preferred types. This restriction applies even if the target is downed, enslaved or imprisoned.
:* If the caster has the [[#Bloodfeeder|bloodfeeder]] gene, they cannot target a pawn whose [[ideoligion]]{{IdeologyIcon}} includes the [[Ideoligion#Bloodfeeders|Bloodfeeders: Reviled]]{{IdeologyIcon}} precept. This restriction applies even if the target is downed.

=== Body type ===
Since people without these genes can have any of the four body types, these genes effectively limit what body types a xenotype can have. For example, [[File:Neanderthal.png|20px|link=Neanderthals]][[Neanderthals]] cannot be thin, because they have all three of the other genes.

=== Melanin ===

These natural skin colors are '''not available in the xenotype editor and cannot be extracted'''. Every person gets one of these as a germline gene unless they already have a skin-color germline gene (e.g. [[File:Dirtmole.png|20px|link=Dirtmoles]][[Dirtmoles]] have light gray skin instead of these).

These genes are defined in Core, not Biotech. They are all named "Skin color" in-game.

=== Skin ===
These exotic (non-natural) skin colors do not appear on anyone without the gene. Like body type genes and hair genes, a person can have more than one skin color gene (e.g. [[File:Impid.png|20px|link=Impids]][[Impids]] have three), and one will be chosen.

All of these genes have a "random brightness factor" of 0.18 unless otherwise specified.

! Resurrect<br>[[File:Gene Resurrect.png|64px]]
| Carriers have a reserve of unique resurrector archites which can infuse a corpse, rebuild degenerated tissue and kickstart the vital processes. This brings the dead back to life - though possibly with health issues. This can only be done very rarely, and comes at a steep hemogen cost.
----
* Requires Hemogenic
* Adds ability: [[File:Resurrect gene ability.png|16px]] Resurrect
:''Use archites in the bloodstream to infuse a corpse's body with new life, repairing degenerated cell structures and kickstarting vital functions. The older and worse-preserved the corpse is, the more likely it is that they will come back with memory loss or health conditions. This ability seems to exhaust the archites somehow, so it can only be used very rarely.''

== Notes ==
* Certain genes will not be properly negated by other genes. For example, a drug dependency germline gene, while appearing to be negated by the same drug dependency as a xenogene, will instead cause the negative mood from the lack of the drug to start at 2.5 days instead of at 5 days.

== Version history ==
* [[Biotech DLC]] Release - Added.
* [[Version/1.4.3524|1.4.3524]] - Children no longer get adult body types from genes.
* [[Version/1.4.3525|1.4.3525]] - Fix: Suppressed genes contributing to romance chance still apply. Fix: Attempting to absorb a xenogerm of your own colonist displays a warning message saying you'll anger your faction.
* [[Version/1.4.3527|1.4.3527]] - Fix: Never sleep xenohumans still rest when caravanning alone.
* [[Version/1.4.3530|1.4.3530]] - Fix: Removing passion-adding genes doesn't revert effect. Fix: Psychically bonded pawns in the same caravan still get "psychic bond distance" mood malus in some circumstances.
* [[Version/1.4.3531|1.4.3531]] - Fix: AI sanguophages can use longjump without any remaining hemogen. Increase the effect of the temperature genes. From {{Bad|3}}/?{{Check Tag|Value?}}/{{Good|10}} to {{Bad|5}}/{{Good|10}}/{{Good|20}}. Fix: Some hemogenic abilities can be queued without enough hemogen.
* [[Version/1.4.3534|1.4.3534]] - Fix: Melanin genes can be extracted by gene extractor. Reduced volume and frequency of yttakin sounds.

* [[Version/1.4.3555|1.4.3555]] -
** [[#Psychic bonding|Psychic bond]] now gives +10% [[psychic sensitivity]], or +5% if on different maps. Hediff description changed from ''This person has a psychic bond with another person based on the psychic bonding gene.'' to ''This person has a psychic bond with another person based on the psychic bonding gene. The bond itself grants some limited psychic awareness, allowing it to connect even with the psychically deaf''. Bonds can now be created during lovin' allowing pawns already in a relationship when the gene was implanted to bond.
**Many genes now give direct boosts instead of forcing traits, which allows genes and traits to stack:
*** '''Depressive''' gene renamed to [[#Very unhappy|Very unhappy]], no longer forces [[Depressive]] trait instead decreases mood by {{--|10}}. '''Pessimist''' gene renamed to [[#Unhappy|Unhappy]], no longer forces [[Pessimist]] trait instead decreases mood by {{--|5}}. '''Optimist''' gene renamed to [[#Happy|Happy]], no longer forces [[Optimist]] trait instead increases mood by {{+|5}}. '''Sanguine''' gene renamed to [[#Very happy|Very happy]], no longer forces [[Sanguine]] trait instead increases mood by {{+|10}}.
*** [[#Slow runner|Slow runner]] no longer forces [[Slowpoke]] trait instead decreases move speed by {{--|0.2}} {{CS}}. [[#Fast runner|Fast runner]] no longer forces [[Fast walker]] trait instead increases move speed by {{+|0.2}} {{CS}}. [[#Very fast runner|Very fast runner]] no longer forces [[Jogger]] trait instead increases move speed by {{+|0.4}} {{CS}}.
***'''Slow learner''' renamed to [[#Slow study|Slow study]], no longer forces [[Slow learner]] trait instead multiplies [[Global Learning Factor]] {{Bad|×50%}}. '''Fast learner''' renamed to [[#Quick study|Quick study]], no longer forces [[Fast learner]] trait instead increases [[Global Learning Factor]] {{+|50%}}.
*** '''Staggeringly ugly''' gene renamed to [[#Very unattractive|Very unattractive]], no longer forces [[Staggeringly ugly]] trait instead decreases beauty by {{--|2}}. '''Ugly''' gene renamed to [[#Unattractive|Unattractive]], no longer forces [[Ugly]] trait instead decreases beauty by {{--|1}}. '''Pretty''' gene renamed to [[#Attractive|Attractive]], no longer forces [[Pretty]] trait instead increase beauty by {{+|1}}. '''Beautiful''' gene renamed to [[#Very attractive|Very attractive]], no longer forces [[Beautiful]] trait instead increase beauty by {{+|2}}.
** '''<Drug> addict-resist''' genes renamed to [[#Alcohol resistant|<Drug> resistant]], Addiction-resistant genes for alcohol, smokeleaf and psychite provide a 50% reduction in tolerance buildup. Addiction-resistant genes for psychite, wake-up and go juice have a 50% multiplier on overdose chance. Smokeleaf and Alcohol resistant metabolism cost reduced from {{--|2}} to {{--|1}}.
** '''<Drug> addict-immune''' genes renamed to [[#Alcohol impervious|<Drug> impervious]]. Addiction-immune genes for psychite, wake-up and go juice grants immunity to overdoses from the drug. Addiction-immune genes for alcohol, smokeleaf and psychite provides a 100% reduction in tolerance buildup. Smokeleaf and Alcohol impervious metabolism cost reduced from {{--|5}} to {{--|3}}.
**[[#Smokeleaf dependency|Smokeleaf]] and [[#Alcohol dependency|Alcohol dependency]] metabolism gain reduced from {{+|4}} to {{+|3}}.
** Fix: Remove reference to damage over time in acid spray ability description. {{Hover title|Spray a sticky acid substance from glands in the neck up through the mouth and all over the target area. The acid will stick to targets and burn them over time.|''[...] stick to targets and burn them over time.''}} to {{Hover title|Spray a sticky acid substance from glands in the neck up through the mouth and all over the target area. The acid will stick to targets and burn them.|''[...] stick to targets and burn them.''}}
** [[#Furskin|Furskin]] and [[#Beardless|beardless]] genes are now mutually exclusive.
** Buffed [[#Furry tail|furry tail]] minimum comfy temperature offset from {{Good|{{temperature|-5||delta}}}} to {{Good|{{temperature|-10||delta}}}}.
** When a [[#Deathless|deathless]] pawn takes damage that would have been lethal and falls into a deathrest coma instead, as an additional consequence they lose 3-6% of XP in a random skill. This should make non-death less trivial for these characters and preserve the sense of risk and danger. We’ll tuned this ongoing as needed.
** Fix: Bloodfeed can be used on pawns in mental states.
* [[Version/1.4.3557|1.4.3557]] - [[#Slow study|Slow study]] gene applies a {{Bad|x50%}} factor to [[Global Learning Factor]] instead of a {{--|50%}} offset.
* [[Version/1.4.3563|1.4.3563]] - Fix: Pawns with "dead calm" gene can get into fights over botched conversion attempts. Fix: Genes that remove all passions don't save previous values, causing passions to reset on removal. Fix: Pawns being carried by other pawns strains psychic bond.
* [[Version/1.4.3580|1.4.3580]] - Fix: Furskin_Average3 head uses the wrong graphic. Fix: Tattoos render below heavy brow. Fix: Furskin gene hair/fur color not staying when implanted with a skin color xenogene. Fix: Exception trying to visit sick pawn with neversleep gene.
* [[Version/1.4.3613|1.4.3613]] - Fix: Reimplant ability not working with custom xenotypes.
* [[Version/1.4.3641|1.4.3641]] - Fix: Inactive sterile gene affects fertility.
* [[Version/1.4.3682|1.4.3682]] - [[Arrest]]ing dead calm pawns now never fails, to prevent them going berserk.
* [[Version/1.5.4062|1.5.4062]] -
** Made psychic bond distance thought more permissive. As long as both pawns are on the same map and not suspended (cryptosleep casket) they get the positive thought.
** Remove reference to damage over time in acid spray gene description. ("...it will stick to enemies and burn them over time." to "...it will stick to enemies and burn them.")
** Added more acid filth texture options for acid spray so it never looks tiled.
** Attached helpful text to mouse when selected pawn is aiming animal warcall ability.
** Updated fire spew LOS highlighting.
** Updated psychic bonding hediff tooltip to factor in pawns contained in buildings.
** Clarify that pawns with no xenogenes cannot implant their xenogerm into another person. Show correct warning message on attempt.
** Fix: Pawns with genetic drug needs aren't getting mothballed. Can improve performance in late-game saves.
** Fix: Chemical genes affect tolerance buildup and addiction chance of all chemicals, not just the specified one.
** Fix: On colonist selection, wasters and hussars are currently generating without their drug dependencies.
** Fix: Small increments of pawn speed differences are lost due to integer calculations. Very quick and quick genes were effectively the same on an otherwise unmodified pawn.
** Fix: Drug dependency endogenes aren't properly being overridden by other drug-related xenogenes of the same chemical.
** Fix: Psychic bonds can form between two pawns that have the psychic bonding genes even if they are bonded to other people.
** Fix: Pawns still carry a weapon after getting incapable of violence gene.
** Fix: Pawns incapable of violence still can use combat gene abilities
** Fix: Fire spew can shoot through walls.
** Fix: Fire spew ability not leaning like other ranged attacks.
** Fix: Fire spew ability can't target walls.
** Fix: Perfect immunity doesn't block gut worms or muscle parasites.
* [[Version/1.6.4518|1.6.4518]] - Added 2 new genes: [[#Indoor dweller|Indoor dweller]] (Disables the outdoors need) and [[#Webbed phalanges|webbed phalanges]] (Ignores movement speed penalties from water terrain Decreases manipulation by 5%). The former is added to dirtmoles, resulting in complexity increasing from 9 -> 10, Net metabolism decreasing from +1 -> 0, hunger rate increasing from 90% -> 100%.
* [[Version/1.6.4535|1.6.4535]] - Made the [[#Breathless|breathless]] gene suppress the normal [[#Vacuum resistant|vacuum resistant]] gene, removing its metabolic impact.
* [[Version/1.6.4566|1.6.4566]] - Rebalanced the starjack xenotype, added the [[Low gravity adapted]] gene. Removed [[Awful plants]], replaced [[Poor melee]] with [[Awful melee]] and replaced [[Cold tolerant]] with [[Cold super-tolerant]]. Net metabolism decreasing from +1 -> 0, hunger rate increasing from 90% -> 100%. [[Breathless]] and [[Vacuum resistant]] now grants [[Minimum Comfortable Temperature]]: {{---|{{temperature|5||delta}}}}
* [[Version/1.6.4850|1.6.4850]] -
** Fix: Pawns can infinitely desire a looks-change if their ideoligion and genes clash.
** Fix: Having an endogene and an overriding xenogene with the same trait can cause the trait to never be applied at all.
