Zack: Furskin having no opinion loss of pawns with uncovered body parts

{{Recode|reason=Thought templates}}
{{See also|altphrase=This page is a list of genes. For a full explanation of the gene system see|Genetics}}
'''Genes''' are a system for adding capabilities to [[human]] pawns. They can be obtained from character creation or implanted via [[xenogerm]].

Metabolic efficiency, denoted by the [[File:Metabolism.png|20px|Metabolism]] symbol, controls the rate at which pawns get [[Saturation|hungry]]. Harmful genes will increase their metabolic efficiency, getting hungry slower, and thus consuming less food overall. Meanwhile helpful genes reduce metabolic efficiency, getting hungry faster, and thus consuming more food. 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 prevents you from giving pawns less than -5 metabolic efficiency; it doesn't stop you from exceeding 5, but hunger rate will not go below 50%.

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).

The type of gene is shown both by its position in the gene tab of the pawn and its background:
* [[File:GeneBackground Endogene.png|32px]] Germline Genes
* [[File:GeneBackground_Xenogene.png|32px]] Xenogenes
* [[File:GeneBackground ArchiteGene.png|32px]] Archite genes

== 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).

=== 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.

| 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.''
:* Resurrects the targeted corpse, similarly to [[Resurrector mech serum]]
:* Target: Any non-mechanoid corpse
:* Warmup Time: {{Ticks|2}}
:* Cooldown: {{Ticks/gametime/years|6840000}} to {{Ticks/gametime/years|7560000}}
:* Charges: 1
:* AI Can Use: False

== 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/1.4.3541|1.4.3541]] - Fix: Victims of bloodfeeder bites can gain hemogen from the interaction.
* [[Version/1.4.3542|1.4.3542]] - Fix: Coagulate can still be queued if hemogen is below casting cost.
* [[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]] and [[#Webbed phalanges|webbed phalanges]]. 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]] gene suppress the normal [[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}}}}

Mechanitor

2025-10-14T21:29:42Z

Zack: updated version history, mechinators can now summoner mechanoid bosses while in space

{{Biotech}}
'''Mechanitors''' (pronounced ''Mek-AN-it-TOR'')<ref>Tynan Sylvester Interview, Hot Potato 2022 [https://youtu.be/SaqYff8kEs8?t=3607]</ref> are pawns who have a [[mechlink]] installed and are used to create and control [[mechanitor#Allied mechanoids|friendly mechanoids]].

== Mechlink ==
Colonists can become mechanitors through a [[mechlink]]. Mechlinks are self-installed implants, meaning a solo colonist can become a mechanitor. Multiple mechanitors may exist in a colony, and function normally. A mechanitor in [[cryptosleep]] will maintain control of mechanoids linked to them.

Other than [[Scenario system#The_Mechanitor|starting out]] with one, they can be obtained in the following ways:
* Destroying an [[ancient exostrider midsection]], which generates on most new maps. This allows you to call in a mechanoid ship, with the mechlink and some hostile mechanoids. Note that the Mechanitor starting [[scenario]] prevents the spawning of the exostrider by default.
* The "discovered mechanitor complex" quest, with hostile mechanoids guarding it.

Either way, you will have to extract the mechlink from the long-dead [[corpse]] of an ancient mechanitor. They can also be extracted from your dead colonist mechanitors, assuming it isn't destroyed.

Pawns that are [[psychically deaf]] can't become mechanitors, and pawns that are [[Incapable|incapable of Smithing]] cannot gestate or repair mechs. To be able to unlock mechanitor research the pawn can't be [[Incapable| incapable of Intellectual]]. Also, pawns with [[trauma savant]] can't summon a [[diabolus]] directly from the [[comms console]] and must summon them by using the "summon mech threat" button of the pawn.

Mechanitors also decrease the severity of [[Scanning sickness]] at twice the rate of normal rate, allowing them to recover faster.

== Summary ==
Mechanitors are required to control, build, and repair your [[Mechanitor#Allied mechanoids|allied mechanoid]]s. They are required to initiate the mech gestation processes, and at least one mechanitor must be present in order to work on mech-related [[research]]. Mechanitors are limited to controlling mechs they have enough bandwidth for (See [[#Bandwidth]] for detail). They can't tame mechanoids that are already hostile, even if they were once part of your colony.

Mechanoids require [[power]] and create [[pollution]] when recharged normally.

=== Mechanoid control ===
{{Stub|section=1|reason=Upon death or exceeding bandwidth, which go wild? Only enough to reduce bandwidth demand to less than current or all? If the former, is which are selected it predictable, and if so, which are selected? Pre-split version of page said: "Mechs can be rezoned regardless of the state of the mechanitor, allowing for them to be imprecisely controlled even when the mechanitor is having a mental break." - Is this inaccurate?}}
Mechs are fully autonomous. Mechanoids assigned to work tasks have an effective [[Skill]] of 10, though most have a 50% [[Global Work Speed]], and some of them work even slower. You cannot order mechanoid work in any direct way, though you can indirectly control it through setting [[zone]]s. Specifically, mechs are put into '''control groups''', and the control group as a whole can then be assigned to one of four orders:

* '''Work''': Do available work tasks. Start charging after reaching a configurable % of power left (defaults to 5%).
* '''Escort''': Follow the mechanitor around and fight enemies. Start charging after reaching a configurable % of power left (defaults to 5%).
* '''Recharge''': Look for available recharging stations and use them. Enter dormant self-charging if full or no available charging stations.
* '''Dormant self-charging''': Turns off the mechs. While dormant, mechs recharge a very small amount of power (+1% power / day) without a charger or any pollution. Mechs can be woken up again when they reach 15% energy.

Control groups and orders may be changed, however the mechanitor must be controllable (not [[downed]] and not under a [[mental break]]), and their mechs are in the same map. If they are separated, mechs will continue to do their tasks without a problem, and won't become hostile. However, control groups and their orders can not be changed. By default, a mechanitor has 2 control groups, but this can be increased through the use of [[control sublink]]s and the [[control pack]].

Mechs can also be drafted for combat, where they are controlled like any colonist. However, the mechanoid can only be ordered to move ''to'' spaces within a 25-tile radius from their master, and they can only be ordered to do other commands while ''in'' said radius. Mechs can be drafted outside of this range (but not if the mechanitor is downed), where they can defend themselves, carry out previous combat commands, or be commanded to go near the mechanitor.

If the mechanitor dies or runs out of [[bandwidth]], mechanoids will go into the Uncontrolled state. Mechanoids in the uncontrolled state will ignore previous [[Allowed area|area]] designations. They will not be uncontrolled if the mechanitor is downed, in a caravan, etc., and mechs with enough bandwidth are unaffected. After 1 game-day, or {{ticks|60000}} uncontrolled, there is a chance for a mech to go feral with a {{MTB}} of 10 in-game [[time|days]]. Any other uncontrolled mechanoids within a 25 tile radius will also go feral. This cascading effect does not cause chain reactions: of three uncontrolled mechanoids positioned left, center, and right 25 tiles apart, if the left mechanoid goes feral, the center mechanoid will also become feral, but the mechanoid on the right will not.

=== Upgrades ===
All mechanitor upgrades are installed like the mechlink itself.
* [[Control sublink]]: Increases work speed by {{+|6%}} per sublink, and increases control groups by {{+|1}}, to a cumulative max bonus of {{+|6}} additional control groups and {{+|36%}} work speed.
** [[Standard control sublink]]s can be installed 3 times.
** [[High control sublink]]s can be installed 3 times on pawns with 3 standard sublinks already installed.
* [[Mech gestation processor]]: Increases [[Mechanitor#Gestation|mech gestation]] speed by 33.3% per implant. Can be installed up to 6 times.
* [[Remote repairer]]: Allows repairing mechanoids from range. Can be installed up to 3 times to increase range.
* [[Remote shielder]]: Allows creation of bullet-blocking shield on a mechanoid. Can be installed up to 3 times.
* [[Repair probe]]: Increases mech repair speed by 33.3% per implant. Can be installed up to 6 times.

== Allied mechanoids ==
With the release of the [[Biotech DLC]], '''mechanoids''' may be built, gestated, and controlled by a colony - specifically, by a mechanitor.
=== Acquisition ===
Mechanitors are required to build, gestate, and control your own mechanoids. [[Research]] must be done while a valid mechanitor is present in the colony, and only a mechanitor may initiate any of the mech creation processes. First, creating your own mechs requires the [[Research#Basic Mechtech|Basic Mechtech]] research, which in turn requires the [[Research#Electricity|Electricity]] research to be completed first.

# Mechanitors must have enough [[bandwidth]] for the mechanoid in question. The larger and more complex the mechanoid is, the more bandwidth is required.
# All mechanoids require a subcore to create, along with other materials like [[steel]]. Simple mechs use a [[basic subcore]] (from a [[subcore encoder]]), while more complex ones require a [[standard subcore]] (from a [[subcore softscanner]]) or [[high subcore]] (from a [[subcore ripscanner]]). The ripscanner in particular requires killing a human pawn to create.
# After being "built" for a tiny amount of a mechanitor's work, mechs must gestate at a [[mech gestator]] or [[large mech gestator]].
:: Gestation times are measured in cycles, where larger mechs require more cycles, and each cycle will need to be initiated by the mechanitor after the previous one is completed. When cycling is done, the mechanitor must take the mech out. If power is lost during gestation, the cycle will be paused, but no other adverse effects will occur.

More complex mechanoids require more research. Mechanoid research in particular requires killing one of three mechanoid commanders - the [[diabolus]], [[war queen]], and [[apocriton]], in order of progression - and studying their specific item before it is possible.

Hostile mechanoids cannot be tamed or converted in any way, even if once part of your colony. You can create every mechanoid in the game, except for the [[termite]] and [[apocriton]].

==== Gestation ====
{{Stub|section=1|reason= Initiating time modified by anything? What happens if the mechanitor dies mid cycle?}}
Rather than traditional work to make them, creating mechanoids requires the undertaking of some number of gestation cycles. A mechanitor must work at the gestator for {{Ticks|1800}}{{Check Tag|Modified?|Is this time value modified by any stat or skill?}} in order to initiate each cycle, but once initiated each cycle will run independently for its duration. Initiating a gestation cycle is considered [[Work#Smith|Smithing]] work.

Each gestation cycle lasts for a baseline of 2 days, modified by the initiating mechanitor's [[Mech Gestation Speed]]. Mech Gestation Speed is controlled by the mechanitor's [[Crafting]] skill and the number of [[mech gestation processor]]s they have installed. This varies the resulting duration from 64 hrs with 0 Crafting skill and no processors, to 14.77 hrs with 20 Crafting and 6 processors. Gestation cycle time is updated when Mechanoid Gestation Speed is, even if a cycle is already running - if you start a cycle, then install a [[Mech gestation processor]] or level the Crafting skill, then it will reduce the remaining cycle time proportional to ratio of the new speed to the old. For a full breakdown of the factors affecting mech gestation speed and the resulting cycle durations, see [[Mech Gestation Speed]].

If a cycle is interrupted temporarily (e.g. by losing power), the cycle will pause until the interruption is ended (e.g. by power being restored), but no other adverse effects will occur

=== General information ===
Mechanitors are required to control mechanoids. A mechanitor has a limited amount of [[bandwidth]], which limits the number of mechanoids they can command. Larger and more complex mechanoids require more bandwidth.

In general, [[mechanoid]]s are immune to [[fire]], toxicity, and [[temperature]] extremes, despite having a Comfortable Temperature. They are vulnerable to [[EMP]] attacks, being stunned by them. Mechanoids do not need to eat, sleep, and have no mood. However, they require [[power]], and cause [[pollution]] in the process.

Mechs considered "light" use a regular [[mech recharger]] and [[mech gestator]]. Mechs considered "medium" or heavier use the [[large mech recharger]] and [[large mech gestator]].

==== Power ====
Player mechanoids use a variable amount of power, depending on their state.
* They use 10% power / day when active: labor mechs doing work, or combat mechs being awake at all.
* All labor mechs use 3% power / day while idle, or not doing work.
* Mechanoids can be commanded to enter a state of dormancy, preventing power drain, instead recharging at a very slow rate of +1% power / day. Mechs that run out of power will also enter this state.
* When [[downed]], or in the world map on a [[caravan]], they use 0% power.

They can be recharged at a [[mech recharger]] or [[large mech recharger]], which quickly recharges them - +50% power / day. This leads to a theoretical uptime of 83.3% - 5 days working, 1 day charging. The mech recharger itself creates waste. Once its waste meter is filled, [[toxic wastepack]]s are created. The amount of waste is directly correlated to the mech's bandwidth, where 1 bandwidth = 5 wastepacks.

==== Repair ====

Mechanitors can repair friendly mechanoids regardless of who actually controls it, at the cost of Energy. Damaged parts are repaired first in random order before missing parts are replaced, although replacing a completely destroyed part takes roughly the same amount of time as repairing 1 point of damage to a non-destroyed part. The overall Energy cost depends on the mech's weight class, and the speed of repair on the Mechanitor's crafting skill, starting at 80% for skill level 0 and +10% speed for every level, to a max of 280% at level 20{{Check Tag|rate in dps?| 100% looks like about 1 dmg per second based on observation, but I can't find a better source}}. If killed, Light mechanoids can be resurrected with a [[Mech gestator]] and all other mechs using a [[Large mech gestator]] at the size-dependent cost of some [[steel]] and 1 gestation cycle.

|}

=== Work speed ===
Most mechanoids have a natural [[Global Work Speed]] of 50%. [[Tunneler (Mechanoid)|Tunnelers]] have a Global Work Speed of 150%, and the [[agrihand]] and [[constructoid]] have special modifiers to their specific job's work speed (applied after all Global Work Speed calculations).

Work speed can be increased in a number of ways, and final work speed is controlled by the following equation:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
| '''Final work speed =''' (Base Work Speed × Mech booster) + (6% * Num. Sublinks) + Mechanoid Labor Bonus
|}
* Being in range of a [[mech booster]] boosts workspeed by 50%, multiplicative. This does not multiply any future factors to work speed.
* Each [[control sublink (standard)|control sublink]] installed into the mechanitor increases [[Global Work Speed]] by {{+|6%}}, after the mech booster is applied. Up to 3 standard and 3 high control sublinks can be installed at a time, for a {{+|36%}} boost.
* If their mechanitor follows an [[ideoligion]]{{IdeologyIcon}} with the [[Ideoligion#Mechanoid labor|Mechanoid Labor: Enhanced]] precept, mechs gain an additive {{+|20%}} boost to [[Global Work Speed]], at the cost of colonist work speed. This boost is additive with sublinks and the booster but its effect is not multiplied by the boosters.

As most mechs start with 50% Global Work Speed, additive boosts are larger than they seem. For example, Labor: Enhanced will boost most mechs from 50% to 70% - that's a {{Good|x140%}} increase.

For example, with a work speed of 50%:
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Control<br>Sublinks !! Work Speed !! Mech Boosted !! Mech Boosted<br>+ [[Ideoligion#Mechanoid labor|Labor: Enhanced]]{{IdeologyIcon}}
|-
! 0
| 50% || 75% || 95%
|-
! 1
| 56% || 81% || 101%
|-
! 2
| 62% || 87% || 107%
|-
! 3
| 68% || 93% || 113%
|-
! 4
| 74% || 99% || 119%
|-
! 5
| 80% || 105% || 125%
|-
! 6
| 86% || 111% || 131%
|}

Work speed can be further modified by regular factors, such as [[light]] and the [[Manipulation]] stat.

=== Raid points ===
{{Main|Raid points}}
The market value of mechs, and of any weapons they carry, do count as wealth for [[raid points|raid point calculations]]. Mechs also contribute towards "[[raid points#Pawn points|pawn points]]" relative to their mech's combat power. The exact percentage depends on current [[wealth]] and can be viewed in the [[raid points#Pawn points|pawn points]] section. The combat power of all combat mechs can be viewed [[Mechanoid hive#Pawns|here]].

== Bandwidth ==
{{About|section=1|bandwidth generally|the stat for [[mechanoids]]|Bandwidth Cost|the [[mechanitor]] stat|Mech Bandwidth}}
'''Bandwidth''' controls how many mechs a single mechanitor can control at any one time. The mechlink itself gives {{+|6}} bandwidth. To increase it further, you must build or craft items.

Each mechanoid has its own [[bandwidth cost]]. The sum of the bandwidth cost of all mechanoids under the control of a single mechanitor must be equal to, or below, the [[mech bandwidth]] of the mechanitor. Mechanoids cannot be gestated without enough bandwidth. If a mechanitor's bandwidth is lowered below the total bandwidth cost, then the mechanoids will become uncontrolled.{{Check Tag|Which? How many? How Selected?}} Uncontrolled mechanoids may leave or become hostile to your colony after enough time. A mech's bandwidth also dictates how many [[toxic wastepack]]s they will produce after recharging.

=== Bandwidth cost ===
{{Recode|section=1|reason=Consider Merge wastepacks into main table and replacing section with intrapage link to table. Discussion welcome}}
The heavier the mechanoid is, the more bandwidth it takes up:

{{Mech Bandwidth}}

=== Increasing mech bandwidth ===
Apparel and gear items must be worn, and band nodes must be [[power]]ed, for bandwidth to actually increase.

* [[Band node]]: {{+|1}}
* [[Airwire headset]]: {{+|3}}
* [[Mechlink]]: {{+|6}}
* [[Array headset]]: {{+|6}}
* [[Mechcommander helmet]]: {{+|6}}
* [[Bandwidth pack]]: {{+|9}}
* [[Integrator headset]]: {{+|9}}
* [[Mechlord helmet]]: {{+|12}}
* [[Mechlord suit]]: {{+|12}}
* [[Cerebrex node]]:{{OdysseyIcon}} {{+|15}}

Therefore, the maximum bandwidth possible without band nodes is acquired with a mechlink, bandwidth pack, mechlord helmet and mechlord suit for a total of {{Good|{{#expr:6+9+12+12}}}} for builds only reliant on the Biotech DLC. With the [[Odyssey DLC]], the cerebrex node replaces the bandwidth pack for a total of {{Good|{{#expr:6+15+12+12}}}}.

To connect to a band node, select a band node, click the '''Tune to...''' button and select an available Mechanitor. Tuning for the first time lasts '''5 seconds''', re-tuning lasts '''3 days'''. Band nodes stay tuned to a pawn when they leave the map. A band node is no longer tuned when the connected mechanitor [[Death|dies]]. When band nodes no longer receive [[power]], they shutdown and because of that, mechanitors bandwidth gets lowered, which can lead to unconnected [[mechanoids]].

== Mech signaling ==
Mechanoid bosses may be called in by a mechanitor via the Summon Mech Threat gizmo.

* [[Diabolus]] - Powered [[comms console]]
* [[War queen]] - [[Mechband antenna]]
* [[Apocriton]] - [[Mechband dish]]

Except for the comms console, the building used to call in the mech will be destroyed. After a delay, the respective boss will drop in from the outskirts of the map. There is a cooldown before spawning in another boss.

'''Passenger shuttles''' are reusable transportation vehicles used to carry [[pawn]]s and/or items across the world map, and to locations in [[orbit]].

== Acquisition ==
{{Acquisition}}

== Summary ==
Each passenger shuttle can hold up to 500 kg of items or pawns. For comparison, an adult [[human]] weighs {{Q|Human|Mass - Adult}} kg before equipment. They can be launched up to 62 tiles away. A launch takes {{Icon Small|Chemfuel||3}} chemfuel per tile with a minimum of {{Icon Small|Chemfuel||50}} [[chemfuel]] for flights of 16 tiles or less. A shuttle can be refueled with {{Icon Small|Chemfuel}} [[chemfuel]] stored in its cargo hold, increasing its effective range with sequential launches.

After landing the shuttle requires a {{Ticks|3750}} cooldown before it can be launched again.

Launching a shuttle requires a pilot with a minimum [[piloting ability]] of 10%, which is easily achieved by any pawn that isn't missing their eyes and is capable of intellectual.{{Check Tag|Detail needed|Does piloting ability affect anything else besides needing to pass the 10% number? If yes, specify. If not, explicitly state that it affects nothing else}}

Shuttles cannot be launched during a blizzard, blind fog or sandstorm.{{Check Tag|Other weather?|Does any other weather affect take off?}} Shuttles cannot be launched with a roof built above them.

== Analysis ==
Passenger shuttles are a fast, flexible, and powerful late-game transportation option that can completely negate the need to form traditional caravans. With a 500kg weight limit a shuttle is generally limited to carrying six human pawns at a time.

===Compared to [[Transport pod]]s===
Shuttles are reusable, carry 500kg of weight instead of 150kg per pod, and are capable of making round trips. Shuttles have 4 less maximum range for a single trip when compared to a transport pod, and are only available after researching multi-analyzer. Shuttles also require a [[shuttle engine]] to craft, although with the [[Royalty DLC]] enabled every crashed empire shuttle is potentially a free shuttle engine.

Shuttles have a minimum chemfuel consumption of 50 per hop, and are less chemfuel efficient than transport pods for the same number of tiles traveled. That said, time spent refining chemfuel is time not spent tying up a fabrication bench making components, so for many players the decrease in chemfuel efficiency is a small price to pay.

===Maximum carry amounts===
In practice these amounts don't account for the weight of a pilot.

Traits

2025-10-06T14:34:46Z

Zack: Error on my last comment, just tiny tweaks to make the opinion losses pop out in text on nudist, masochist, misandrist and misogynist more.

{| align=center
| {{Character_Properties_Nav}}
|}
<hr>

[[File:traits_preview.png|right]]'''Traits''' personalize and add flavor to your colonists by granting a wide variety of special bonuses or conditions to their day to day activities, and so encourage more complex player-conceived stories based on those individual characters. Traits provide physical or psychological abilities or limitations, likes/dislikes, behavior tendencies, personality quirks, and so on. Some are beneficial, some are harmful to the colonist or your colony as a whole. Some are constant, some only rarely triggered. Some can be more or less easily negated or manipulated to your advantage by catering to them (or denying them), others are more problematic or outright dangerous.

== Mechanics ==
Only humans have traits. Most humans have 1-3 traits, with the possibility of an "extra" sexuality trait. Adults cannot gain new traits, and there is no way to remove traits.

{{BiotechIcon}} Children usually only have a number of traits no higher than the number of [[Children#Growth_moments|growth moments]] they have reached, and babies have none. Children can attain a new trait every time they reach a new [[Children#Growth_moments|growth moment]] (birthdays 7, 10, and 13).

=== Trait acquisition ===

When a human is generated, it acquires traits according to this process:

* First, the pawn gains any traits that its "pawn kind" requires. ''For example, the titular mechanitor{{BiotechIcon}} of [[Scenario_system#Default_Scenarios|The Mechanitor]] start scenario always has the [[Recluse]] trait.''
* Second, if the pawn is being generated for a quest, it gains any traits required by the quest. ''For example, the imperiled noble from the [[Quests#Noble_Wimp|Noble Wimp]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} quest always has the [[Wimp]] trait.''
* Traits from the pawn's [[backstories]] are then acquired, unless they would conflict with the pawn's "pawn kind". ''For example, a pawn with a backstory composed of the [[Backstories/Tribal_Child|Cave Child]] childhood and the [[Backstories/Tribal_Adult|Scout]] adulthood would have the [[Undergrounder]] and [[Jogger]] traits. However, a hypothetical backstory that grants the Brawler trait will not grant it if the pawn is a "tribal archer", as that pawn kind specifically prohibits the Brawler trait.''
* A trait count limit is chosen, based on the pawn's age. [[Reproduction#Babies|Babies]]{{BiotechIcon}} and [[children]] under seven years of age have a limit of 0 traits; children with 7-9 birthdays, 1 trait; children with 10-12 birthdays, 1-2 traits; and anyone older, 1-3 traits, with no bias towards any particular number. If the pawn's current number of traits is lower than the trait limit, each 'missing' trait is filled in by a random trait, weighed based on each trait's commonality. The randomly gained traits cannot be any of the following:
** Any sexuality trait ([[Asexual]], [[Bisexual]], or [[Gay]])
** [[Wimp]], but only if the pawn is from a [[faction]] hostile to the player's faction
** Any that the pawn already has
** Any that conflict with a trait the pawn already has
** Any prohibited by the pawn's "pawn kind" or backstories
** Any that would disable a work type required by the pawn's "pawn kind"
** Any that requires a work type disabled for the pawn
** Any that would cause the pawn's minor [[mental break threshold]] to rise above 50%
* If the pawn is at least 13 years old, their sexuality is then determined. If the pawn has any romantic or ex-romantic relationship with someone of the same gender, they acquire the Gay trait. Otherwise, they may be Asexual, Bisexual, Gay, or straight (which is not a trait, merely an absence of the three sexuality traits). The random choice is weighted by each sexuality trait's commonality, or in the case of 'straight/no sexuality trait', weighted by the sum commonality of every non-sexuality trait that the pawn does not currently have. Note that since the [[Biotech DLC]] adds two traits with non-zero commonalities, sexuality traits are marginally rarer if Biotech is enabled.
* Afterward, the pawn's [[xenotype]]{{BiotechIcon}} (if any) is determined. If [[Traits#Trait-affecting_genes|certain genes]] are present, this can affect the pawn's trait set, either adding or suppressing traits.
* If the [[Scenario_system#Voluntary_parts|starting scenario forces any traits]], the pawn gains any such traits. The "Forced trait" scenario part can be configured to apply to all pawns in the game, only the player's starting pawns, or only non-player pawns; it can also be configured to have a chance to trigger per pawn between 0-100%.
* Finally, if the pawn is a [[creepjoiner]]{{AnomalyIcon}}, it gains any traits granted by its benefit and/or downside.

=== Starting possessions ===
{{Move|section=1|destination = Pawn Selection|reason=While some of this info can likely be kept in this page, most of it should move to [[Game_Creation|Pawn Selection]] once that page has been created}}
Certain traits may influence the initial possessions of your colonists in the pawn selection menu (either for [[Game_Creation|creating a new game]] or [[Endings#Colony_End|selecting new colonists after a game over]]). Unless you have chosen the [[Scenario_system#Default_Scenarios|Naked Brutality]] start scenario or used the Scenario Editor to add the "no possessions" scenario part, each such colonist may have up to two possessions in their inventory. A stack of items counts as 1 possession. Possessions for each colonist are generated in the following order, ending prematurely if the colonist has two possessions:

* [[Ghoul]]s{{AnomalyIcon}} never have possessions.
* [[Reproduction#Babies|Babies]]{{BiotechIcon}} have between 30-40 units of baby food.
* If the colonist is addicted to a drug, they have enough of the drug to satiate the addiction for roughly 25-35 days.
* If the colonist has a [[Genes#Drugs|genetic drug dependency]]{{BiotechIcon}}, they have enough of the drug to satiate the dependency for roughly 25-35 days.
* If the colonist has [[hemogenic]] gene{{BiotechIcon}}, they have 8-12 [[hemogen pack]]s.
* If the colonist has an adulthood backstory that can grant possessions, there is a 25% chance for them to have those possessions. Note that, should a backstory be capable of granting multiple possessions, this process will still stop once the colonist has two possessions, and the backstory's possessions are always granted in the order they are defined in the backstory.
* '''Traits are accounted for only after all the above steps have been performed'''. There is a 25% chance for a colonist to receive possessions based on their [[Traits#Trait-affecting_genes|non-suppressed traits]]. As with backstories, it is possible for this step to stop midway through once the colonist has two possessions; possessions are always granted in the order the traits present themselves, and per-trait they are granted in the order they are defined in the trait. ''For example, a pawn with the Psychopath trait has a 25% chance to gain a skull and a heart, but a pawn who already has a prior stack of [[flake]] due to a flake addiction would have a 25% chance to only gain a skull.''
* If the colonist still has less than two possessions, there is a 6% chance for them to have a random possession. The list of possible possessions is lengthy, but does not include every possible item in the game.

=== Trait-affecting genes ===
{{Biotech|section=1}}
Certain genes can modify a pawn's traits, either by forcing a trait to be added or suppressing a trait. Forced traits function as normal, though they are visible in the pawn's Bio tab in pale blue text. Suppressed traits do not have any effects, but are still visible in the pawn's Bio tab in dark grey text.

If a forced trait would ordinarily conflict with non-genetically forced trait(s) the pawn already has, the latter is/are suppressed. If it would ordinarily conflict with genetic trait(s) the pawn already has, the latter is/are removed. If a trait-granting gene is removed, the trait will also be removed (unless the pawn already has the trait independent of genes); this un-suppresses any traits it had suppressed which are not suppressed by another gene or trait, and restores any genetically-forced traits that were removed by that gene and which do not conflict with any other trait the pawn has (including suppressed traits). This almost always leads to intuitive results, with one exception: if a pawn has the psychically hyper/sensitive trait, also has the psychically dull/deaf gene in their germline (e.g. due to being a [[Yttakin]]), and then has the other psychic sensitivity trait gene in their xenogenes... removal of the xenogene will remove the trait it forces, but it will also not result in the restoration of the other gene's trait and will not un-suppress the psychically hyper/sensitive trait.

== General traits ==
These traits are generalized into groups, organized roughly by topic but there are no such groupings laid out formally in the game. There are no relations or prohibitions between traits grouped together here unless noted (e.g. a colonist cannot be both "ascetic", wanting a minimal bedroom, ''and'' "jealous" of those with better bedrooms).

* The Gay/Bisexual/Asexual sexuality traits are unique in that they are the only ones that can generate after the 3 trait limit, resulting in rare pawns with 4 traits.
* See also the [[#Beauty|Beauty]] category of traits, below.

== Spectrum traits ==
Theses are groups of related traits, that are inter-related and grouped by degree, creating a "spectrum" of good/bad/better/worse in that specific sphere of behaviour. A colonist can only have one trait from any single related spectrum for these traits, defining whether they are notably outside the norm for, for example, movement speed, or drug interest, or their physical (un)attractiveness.

=== Drug desire ===
These traits affect a colonist's likelihood to consume drugs.

Note that despite the common misconception, chemical fascination and interest pawns no longer randomly go on [[mental break|drug binges]] independent of [[mood]].

! Chemical fascination
| NAME is utterly fascinated with chemical sources of enjoyment.

=== Beauty ===
{{Main|Beauty (Pawn)}}
These traits influence a colonist's appearance and how it affects other colonists' opinions of them - as well as sexual attractiveness.

Each point of beauty corresponds to +20 opinion from other colonists, e.g. a colonist with 2 beauty will have +40 opinion, while another with -1 beauty will have -20.

== Creepjoiner traits ==
{{Anomaly|section=1}}
These traits are never randomly assigned to pawns. They are normally found on [[creepjoiner]]s, and therefore have powerful positive or negative effects to balance out the other strengths and weaknesses creepjoiners have.

=== Positive traits ===
These traits are considered benefits, to compensate whatever mysterious downside haunts the creepjoiner.

{| {{STDT| sortable c_08 }}

! Perfect Memory
| NAME has outstanding memory, both in terms of retaining information but also muscle memory. His/Her skills will never decay.
| Skills cannot decay<br>Always and only spawns on creepjoiners with the "Perfect Human" benefit, which also comes with the Industrious trait and a starting level of 14-18 for each skill.
|- id="Occultist"
! Occultist
| NAME has deep knowledge of the twisted patterns of dark psychic energy. S/He can study unnatural entities faster than others. S/He will also periodically teach this inhuman knowledge to others when s/he gets the chance.
| [[Study Efficiency]] {{+|100%}}<br>[[Entity Study Rate]] {{+|50%}}<br>Can perform an "occult teaching" random social interactions, giving +1 dark research. This has a cooldown of 1 day; when off cooldown, it will always be the next random social interaction chosen.

| {{+|20}} opinion from other pawns<br>While not imprisoned or enslaved, {{+|3}} mood to all other non-prisoner colonists on the same map who are not currently in a mental break. The effect does not stack even if there are multiple Joyous pawns present. Pawns not of the player's faction cannot receive the mood buff. A Joyous pawn will not grant its mood bonus to anyone it is currently hostile to.<br>Always and only spawns on creepjoiners with the "Joybringer" benefit, which precludes the "Disturbing" downside.
|- id="Body mastery"
! Body Mastery
| NAME doesn't have basic needs like eating, sleeping, or comfort. His/Her body is driven by some unknown mechanism, which has turned his/her eyes completely white.
| [[Saturation|Food]], [[Sleep]], and [[Comfort]] needs disabled.<br> Note: Because a pawn's mood is partially averaged by their needs, having less needs can render them more prone to mood swings. <br>Eyes are white
|-
|}

=== Negative traits ===
These traits are downsides, meant to counterblance the creepjoiner's powerful benefits. Note that, unlike most other creepjoiner drawbacks, these traits are never hidden; as such, you be assured there are no other nasty surprises waiting for you.

[[File:traits_preview.png|right]]'''Traits''' personalize and add flavor to your colonists by granting a wide variety of special bonuses or conditions to their day to day activities, and so encourage more complex player-conceived stories based on those individual characters. Traits provide physical or psychological abilities or limitations, likes/dislikes, behavior tendencies, personality quirks, and so on. Some are beneficial, some are harmful to the colonist or your colony as a whole. Some are constant, some only rarely triggered. Some can be more or less easily negated or manipulated to your advantage by catering to them (or denying them), others are more problematic or outright dangerous.

== Mechanics ==
Only humans have traits. Most humans have 1-3 traits, with the possibility of an "extra" sexuality trait. Adults cannot gain new traits, and there is no way to remove traits.

{{BiotechIcon}} Children usually only have a number of traits no higher than the number of [[Children#Growth_moments|growth moments]] they have reached, and babies have none. Children can attain a new trait every time they reach a new [[Children#Growth_moments|growth moment]] (birthdays 7, 10, and 13).

=== Trait acquisition ===

When a human is generated, it acquires traits according to this process:

* First, the pawn gains any traits that its "pawn kind" requires. ''For example, the titular mechanitor{{BiotechIcon}} of [[Scenario_system#Default_Scenarios|The Mechanitor]] start scenario always has the [[Recluse]] trait.''
* Second, if the pawn is being generated for a quest, it gains any traits required by the quest. ''For example, the imperiled noble from the [[Quests#Noble_Wimp|Noble Wimp]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} quest always has the [[Wimp]] trait.''
* Traits from the pawn's [[backstories]] are then acquired, unless they would conflict with the pawn's "pawn kind". ''For example, a pawn with a backstory composed of the [[Backstories/Tribal_Child|Cave Child]] childhood and the [[Backstories/Tribal_Adult|Scout]] adulthood would have the [[Undergrounder]] and [[Jogger]] traits. However, a hypothetical backstory that grants the Brawler trait will not grant it if the pawn is a "tribal archer", as that pawn kind specifically prohibits the Brawler trait.''
* A trait count limit is chosen, based on the pawn's age. [[Reproduction#Babies|Babies]]{{BiotechIcon}} and [[children]] under seven years of age have a limit of 0 traits; children with 7-9 birthdays, 1 trait; children with 10-12 birthdays, 1-2 traits; and anyone older, 1-3 traits, with no bias towards any particular number. If the pawn's current number of traits is lower than the trait limit, each 'missing' trait is filled in by a random trait, weighed based on each trait's commonality. The randomly gained traits cannot be any of the following:
** Any sexuality trait ([[Asexual]], [[Bisexual]], or [[Gay]])
** [[Wimp]], but only if the pawn is from a [[faction]] hostile to the player's faction
** Any that the pawn already has
** Any that conflict with a trait the pawn already has
** Any prohibited by the pawn's "pawn kind" or backstories
** Any that would disable a work type required by the pawn's "pawn kind"
** Any that requires a work type disabled for the pawn
** Any that would cause the pawn's minor [[mental break threshold]] to rise above 50%
* If the pawn is at least 13 years old, their sexuality is then determined. If the pawn has any romantic or ex-romantic relationship with someone of the same gender, they acquire the Gay trait. Otherwise, they may be Asexual, Bisexual, Gay, or straight (which is not a trait, merely an absence of the three sexuality traits). The random choice is weighted by each sexuality trait's commonality, or in the case of 'straight/no sexuality trait', weighted by the sum commonality of every non-sexuality trait that the pawn does not currently have. Note that since the [[Biotech DLC]] adds two traits with non-zero commonalities, sexuality traits are marginally rarer if Biotech is enabled.
* Afterward, the pawn's [[xenotype]]{{BiotechIcon}} (if any) is determined. If [[Traits#Trait-affecting_genes|certain genes]] are present, this can affect the pawn's trait set, either adding or suppressing traits.
* If the [[Scenario_system#Voluntary_parts|starting scenario forces any traits]], the pawn gains any such traits. The "Forced trait" scenario part can be configured to apply to all pawns in the game, only the player's starting pawns, or only non-player pawns; it can also be configured to have a chance to trigger per pawn between 0-100%.
* Finally, if the pawn is a [[creepjoiner]]{{AnomalyIcon}}, it gains any traits granted by its benefit and/or downside.

{{Move|section=1|destination = Pawn Selection|reason=While some of this info can likely be kept in this page, most of it should move to [[Game_Creation|Pawn Selection]] once that page has been created}}
Certain traits may influence the initial possessions of your colonists in the pawn selection menu (either for [[Game_Creation|creating a new game]] or [[Endings#Colony_End|selecting new colonists after a game over]]). Unless you have chosen the [[Scenario_system#Default_Scenarios|Naked Brutality]] start scenario or used the Scenario Editor to add the "no possessions" scenario part, each such colonist may have up to two possessions in their inventory. A stack of items counts as 1 possession. Possessions for each colonist are generated in the following order, ending prematurely if the colonist has two possessions:

* [[Ghoul]]s{{AnomalyIcon}} never have possessions.
* [[Reproduction#Babies|Babies]]{{BiotechIcon}} have between 30-40 units of baby food.
* If the colonist is addicted to a drug, they have enough of the drug to satiate the addiction for roughly 25-35 days.
* If the colonist has a [[Genes#Drugs|genetic drug dependency]]{{BiotechIcon}}, they have enough of the drug to satiate the dependency for roughly 25-35 days.
* If the colonist has [[hemogenic]] gene{{BiotechIcon}}, they have 8-12 [[hemogen pack]]s.
* If the colonist has an adulthood backstory that can grant possessions, there is a 25% chance for them to have those possessions. Note that, should a backstory be capable of granting multiple possessions, this process will still stop once the colonist has two possessions, and the backstory's possessions are always granted in the order they are defined in the backstory.
* '''Traits are accounted for only after all the above steps have been performed'''. There is a 25% chance for a colonist to receive possessions based on their [[Traits#Trait-affecting_genes|non-suppressed traits]]. As with backstories, it is possible for this step to stop midway through once the colonist has two possessions; possessions are always granted in the order the traits present themselves, and per-trait they are granted in the order they are defined in the trait. ''For example, a pawn with the Psychopath trait has a 25% chance to gain a skull and a heart, but a pawn who already has a prior stack of [[flake]] due to a flake addiction would have a 25% chance to only gain a skull.''
* If the colonist still has less than two possessions, there is a 6% chance for them to have a random possession. The list of possible possessions is lengthy, but does not include every possible item in the game.

=== Trait-affecting genes ===
{{Biotech|section=1}}
Certain genes can modify a pawn's traits, either by forcing a trait to be added or suppressing a trait. Forced traits function as normal, though they are visible in the pawn's Bio tab in pale blue text. Suppressed traits do not have any effects, but are still visible in the pawn's Bio tab in dark grey text.

If a forced trait would ordinarily conflict with non-genetically forced trait(s) the pawn already has, the latter is/are suppressed. If it would ordinarily conflict with genetic trait(s) the pawn already has, the latter is/are removed. If a trait-granting gene is removed, the trait will also be removed (unless the pawn already has the trait independent of genes); this un-suppresses any traits it had suppressed which are not suppressed by another gene or trait, and restores any genetically-forced traits that were removed by that gene and which do not conflict with any other trait the pawn has (including suppressed traits). This almost always leads to intuitive results, with one exception: if a pawn has the psychically hyper/sensitive trait, also has the psychically dull/deaf gene in their germline (e.g. due to being a [[Yttakin]]), and then has the other psychic sensitivity trait gene in their xenogenes... removal of the xenogene will remove the trait it forces, but it will also not result in the restoration of the other gene's trait and will not un-suppress the psychically hyper/sensitive trait.

== General traits ==
These traits are generalized into groups, organized roughly by topic but there are no such groupings laid out formally in the game. There are no relations or prohibitions between traits grouped together here unless noted (e.g. a colonist cannot be both "ascetic", wanting a minimal bedroom, ''and'' "jealous" of those with better bedrooms).

* The Gay/Bisexual/Asexual sexuality traits are unique in that they are the only ones that can generate after the 3 trait limit, resulting in rare pawns with 4 traits.
* See also the [[#Beauty|Beauty]] category of traits, below.

== Spectrum traits ==
Theses are groups of related traits, that are inter-related and grouped by degree, creating a "spectrum" of good/bad/better/worse in that specific sphere of behaviour. A colonist can only have one trait from any single related spectrum for these traits, defining whether they are notably outside the norm for, for example, movement speed, or drug interest, or their physical (un)attractiveness.

=== Drug desire ===
These traits affect a colonist's likelihood to consume drugs.

Note that despite the common misconception, chemical fascination and interest pawns no longer randomly go on [[mental break|drug binges]] independent of [[mood]]. 
{| {{STDT| sortable c_08 }}

| NAME is utterly fascinated with chemical sources of enjoyment.

=== Beauty ===
{{Main|Beauty (Pawn)}}
These traits influence a colonist's appearance and how it affects other colonists' opinions of them - as well as sexual attractiveness.

Each point of beauty corresponds to +20 opinion from other colonists, e.g. a colonist with 2 beauty will have +40 opinion, while another with -1 beauty will have -20.

== Creepjoiner traits ==
{{Anomaly|section=1}}
These traits are never randomly assigned to pawns. They are normally found on [[creepjoiner]]s, and therefore have powerful positive or negative effects to balance out the other strengths and weaknesses creepjoiners have.

=== Positive traits ===
These traits are considered benefits, to compensate whatever mysterious downside haunts the creepjoiner.

{| {{STDT| sortable c_08 }}
! Name

|- id="Perfect memory"
! Perfect Memory
| NAME has outstanding memory, both in terms of retaining information but also muscle memory. His/Her skills will never decay.
| Skills cannot decay<br>Always and only spawns on creepjoiners with the "Perfect Human" benefit, which also comes with the Industrious trait and a starting level of 14-18 for each skill.
|- id="Occultist"
! Occultist
| NAME has deep knowledge of the twisted patterns of dark psychic energy. S/He can study unnatural entities faster than others. S/He will also periodically teach this inhuman knowledge to others when s/he gets the chance.
| [[Study Efficiency]] {{+|100%}}<br>[[Entity Study Rate]] {{+|50%}}<br>Can perform an "occult teaching" random social interactions, giving +1 dark research. This has a cooldown of 1 day; when off cooldown, it will always be the next random social interaction chosen.

| {{+|20}} opinion from other pawns<br>While not imprisoned or enslaved, {{+|3}} mood to all other non-prisoner colonists on the same map who are not currently in a mental break. The effect does not stack even if there are multiple Joyous pawns present. Pawns not of the player's faction cannot receive the mood buff. A Joyous pawn will not grant its mood bonus to anyone it is currently hostile to.<br>Always and only spawns on creepjoiners with the "Joybringer" benefit, which precludes the "Disturbing" downside.
|- id="Body mastery"
! Body Mastery
| NAME doesn't have basic needs like eating, sleeping, or comfort. His/Her body is driven by some unknown mechanism, which has turned his/her eyes completely white.
| [[Saturation|Food]], [[Sleep]], and [[Comfort]] needs disabled.<br> Note: Because a pawn's mood is partially averaged by their needs, having less needs can render them more prone to mood swings. <br>Eyes are white
|-
|}

=== Negative traits ===
These traits are downsides, meant to counterblance the creepjoiner's powerful benefits. Note that, unlike most other creepjoiner drawbacks, these traits are never hidden; as such, you be assured there are no other nasty surprises waiting for you.

* [[Version/1.3.3066|1.3.3066]] - Transhumanist trait renamed to Body Modder. Kind description changed "''NAME is a nice person. They have a tendency to brighten everyone else's day and never insult others.''" -> ''"NAME is an exceptionally agreeable and giving person. S/He never insults others and will sometimes offer kind words to brighten the moods of those around her/him. {PAWN_pronoun} also never judges people by their appearance."''. Undergrounders have a new Need_Indoors, which is increased by spending time indoors, especially inside mountains.
* [[Version/1.4.3523|1.4.3523]] - Pyromaniacs are happier around fires and get a stacking (up to 4x) mood buff for nearby fires. This includes torches and campfires. “Wimp” trait’s pain shock threshold has been increased from 50% to 60%. [[Ascetic]]s no longer get a negative mood debuff when eating nutrient paste meals. [[Plasmasword]]s and [[persona plasmasword]]s now provide the mood bonus to [[pyromaniac]]s like other incendiary weapons.

{{See also|altphrase=This page is a list of genes. For a full explanation of the gene system see|Genetics}}
'''Genes''' are a system for adding capabilities to [[human]] pawns. They can be obtained from character creation or implanted via [[xenogerm]].

Metabolic efficiency, denoted by the [[File:Metabolism.png|20px|Metabolism]] symbol, controls the rate at which pawns get [[Saturation|hungry]]. Harmful genes will increase their metabolic efficiency, getting hungry slower, and thus consuming less food overall. Meanwhile helpful genes reduce metabolic efficiency, getting hungry faster, and thus consuming more food. 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 prevents you from giving pawns less than -5 metabolic efficiency; it doesn't stop you from exceeding 5, but hunger rate will not go below 50%.

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).

The type of gene is shown both by its position in the gene tab of the pawn and its background:
* [[File:GeneBackground Endogene.png|32px]] Germline Genes
* [[File:GeneBackground_Xenogene.png|32px]] Xenogenes
* [[File:GeneBackground ArchiteGene.png|32px]] Archite genes

== 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).

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.

* 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/1.4.3530|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.

** [[#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:

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.

** 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.

** 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]] and [[#Webbed phalanges|webbed phalanges]]. 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%.

=== External factors ===
==== [[Weather]] ====
* Rain and Foggy rain: '''×90%'''
* Rainy thunderstorm and Hard snow: '''×80%'''

==== Path cost ====
Floors, buildings, items and plants add path cost. Where each path cost adds about 7.7% to the time it would take the pawn to traverse this tile unhindered. The move speed factor can therefore be calculated like this:

move speed factor = 1 / (1 + path cost * 0.077)

For terrain, flooring and things with a path cost of 20 or below, a pawn is slowed down every time they enter a tile with that thing. For things with a path cost of 25 or above continuing walking on a thing with a path cost of 25 or higher doesn't slow the pawn down again (even if it gets higher).{{Check Tag|Fact check|1) What about 21 to 24? Especially Blood torch need testing. 2) What does the pathCostIgnoreRepeat parameter do?}} Walking over an item on a workbench slows the pawn down again, items on shelves have no additional effect, however.

Below is a selection of some common values. Minified things have a path cost of 14.

'''Move speed''' = (Base value + Offsets) × Factors × External factors

Let us calculate how fast a human could possibly go. It would have the following values:
* Base value: '''{{Q|human|Move Speed Base}} c/s'''
* Offsets:
** [[Jogger]] trait: {{+|0.4 c/s}}
** [[Very fast runner]] gene {{BiotechIcon}}: {{+|0.4 c/s}}
** [[Naked speed]] gene unclothed {{BiotechIcon}}: {{+|0.1 c/s}}
** [[Juggernaut serum]]:{{AnomalyIcon}} {{+|0.5 {{CS}}}}
** [[Frenzy inducer]]:{{AnomalyIcon}} Variable, caps at {{+|0.4 {{CS}}}}
** [[Low gravity adapted]] gene in space {{BiotechIcon}} {{OdysseyIcon}} {{+|0.4 {{CS}}}}
* Factors:
** Moving capacity: '''×{{%|{{Q|Moving|Effective Maximum}} }}''' (''see [[Moving#Example|moving]]'')<ref>Be aware that it is not normally possible to achieve this speed in a short time since the three hard drugs required to take have a 100% chance of causing a Minor Overdose and reducing Consciousness by 50%. With [[Biotech (DLC)]]{{BiotechIcon}}, it is possible to gain [[Genes]] that can reduce the likelihood of an overdose, or even prevent it entirely. However, even with the Gene for Wake-up Impervious, a heart attack can still occur if the pawn does not have a Bionic heart. </ref>
** [[Glucosoid pump]]: Creates Glucosoid Rush effect, +12% per Glucosoid pump. Maximum four, for x148%. Requires ability to [[Deathrest]].
** [[Pollution stimulus]]: Maximum x120% when the pawn is on polluted tiles.
** [[Inspiration#Go frenzy|Go frenzy]] inspiration: '''×140%'''
* External factor: '''×100%'''

'''Move speed''' = ({{Q|Human|Move Speed Base}} c/s + 0.4 c/s + 0.4 c/s + 0.1 c/s + 0.5c/s + 0.4c/s + 0.4c/s) × (4.28 × 1.20 x 1.48 1.4) × 1 = '''{{#expr: ({{Q|Human|Move Speed Base}}+0.4+0.4+0.1+.5+.4+0.4)*4.28*1.2*1.48*1.4 round2}} c/s'''

<references/>

== Notes ==
Offsets, such as the speed decrease from gear or traits, occurs before multiplicative factors such as Moving. So while a normal human moves at 4.6c/s, and a human in a flak vest moves at 4.48c/s for a difference of -0.12c/s, a pawn with 2 [[archotech leg]]s would move at 6.9c/s while the same pawn in a flak vest would move at 6.72c/s for a difference of -0.18c/s. Similarly, jogger-traited human moves at 5.00c/s for a difference of 0.40/s compared to baseline, but a pawn with 2 [[archotech leg]]s would move at 6.9c/s while the same pawn as a jogger would move at 7.50c/s for a difference of +0.60c/s.

== Slowing down attackers ==
[[File:Speed in cluttered corridor.mp4|thumb|Different constructions and items that can be placed in a corridor to slow down attackers.]]
Structures can be built to reduce the speed of movement of attackers, for example before a [[killbox]].

One of the most commonly used techniques is to place objects or constructions alternating with empty tiles, as it is not the items or constructions that slow down the pawns, but the fact of climbing on and off them.

However, pawns are significantly more slowed down by doors held open in a row, and even more by placing chunks or other items inside them.

Here is a table of the configurations shown in the thumbnail video, as well as other similar items or constructions (time is to cross 41 tiles, move speed factor is approximate):

; Notes
* Only 1×1 constructions have been tested here.
* It doesn't seem to matter what the construction is made of (wooden shelves are identical to granite ones, as are the doors), how big it is (an elephant's corpse is just as quick to get past as a rat's, one block is the same as a stack of 25), or if it's turned on or not (for example, braziers that are lit or not are identical).
* Fence gates have been tested, but enemies cannot pass over them, open them or shoot through them, so they are not useful here.
* Items and constructions available in the DLCs have not been tested.

=== Analysis ===
The best solution seems to be to have a row of open doors with alternating [[chunk]]s and [[corpse]]s (1×1 [[stockpile]]s are an easy way to replace destroyed items and corpses).

The advantage of adding rotting/dessicated human corpses is that it gives enemies who pass the '[[Mood#Observed rotting corpse|Observed rotting corpse]] ×5' debuff -12 (also using 1×1 stockpiles, placing 5 corpses is sometimes not enough, but 10 are), the downside is that it gives the same debuff to your pawns if they're within four tiles (unless they are [[bloodlust]]; [[cannibal]]s and [[psychopath]]s don't care about fresh corpses, but corpses rot pretty quickly). Animal corpses can also be used, but they're often more useful as meat.

One drawback is that it is not possible to target a [[fire]] in a door with the [[Waterskip]] psycast, but on the other hand, [[Temperature#Heat transfer between rooms|heat]] spreads slower as every door creates its own room (although temperature gets quickly extreme as the 'room' is tiny).

In the early game, using only chunks every two tiles is a good option, as they cost nothing and can be quickly replaced using the stockpile trick.

Zack: Psycic bonded pawns have +50 opinion of each other

{{Biotech}}
{{Recode|reason=Thought templates}}
{{See also|altphrase=This page is a list of genes. For a full explanation of the gene system see|Genetics}}
'''Genes''' are a system for adding capabilities to [[human]] pawns. They can be obtained from character creation or implanted via [[xenogerm]].

Metabolic efficiency, denoted by the [[File:Metabolism.png|20px|Metabolism]] symbol, controls the rate at which pawns get [[Saturation|hungry]]. Harmful genes will increase their metabolic efficiency, getting hungry slower, and thus consuming less food overall. Meanwhile helpful genes reduce metabolic efficiency, getting hungry faster, and thus consuming more food. 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 prevents you from giving pawns less than -5 metabolic efficiency; it doesn't stop you from exceeding 5, but hunger rate will not go below 50%.

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).

The type of gene is shown both by its position in the gene tab of the pawn and its background:
* [[File:GeneBackground Endogene.png|32px]] Germline Genes
* [[File:GeneBackground_Xenogene.png|32px]] Xenogenes
* [[File:GeneBackground ArchiteGene.png|32px]] Archite genes

== 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).

=== 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.

[[File:traits_preview.png|right]]'''Traits''' personalize and add flavor to your colonists by granting a wide variety of special bonuses or conditions to their day to day activities, and so encourage more complex player-conceived stories based on those individual characters. Traits provide physical or psychological abilities or limitations, likes/dislikes, behavior tendencies, personality quirks, and so on. Some are beneficial, some are harmful to the colonist or your colony as a whole. Some are constant, some only rarely triggered. Some can be more or less easily negated or manipulated to your advantage by catering to them (or denying them), others are more problematic or outright dangerous.

== Mechanics ==
Only humans have traits. Most humans have 1-3 traits, with the possibility of an "extra" sexuality trait. Adults cannot gain new traits, and there is no way to remove traits.

{{BiotechIcon}} Children usually only have a number of traits no higher than the number of [[Children#Growth_moments|growth moments]] they have reached, and babies have none. Children can attain a new trait every time they reach a new [[Children#Growth_moments|growth moment]] (birthdays 7, 10, and 13).

=== Trait acquisition ===

When a human is generated, it acquires traits according to this process:

* First, the pawn gains any traits that its "pawn kind" requires. ''For example, the titular mechanitor{{BiotechIcon}} of [[Scenario_system#Default_Scenarios|The Mechanitor]] start scenario always has the [[Recluse]] trait.''
* Second, if the pawn is being generated for a quest, it gains any traits required by the quest. ''For example, the imperiled noble from the [[Quests#Noble_Wimp|Noble Wimp]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} quest always has the [[Wimp]] trait.''
* Traits from the pawn's [[backstories]] are then acquired, unless they would conflict with the pawn's "pawn kind". ''For example, a pawn with a backstory composed of the [[Backstories/Tribal_Child|Cave Child]] childhood and the [[Backstories/Tribal_Adult|Scout]] adulthood would have the [[Undergrounder]] and [[Jogger]] traits. However, a hypothetical backstory that grants the Brawler trait will not grant it if the pawn is a "tribal archer", as that pawn kind specifically prohibits the Brawler trait.''
* A trait count limit is chosen, based on the pawn's age. [[Reproduction#Babies|Babies]]{{BiotechIcon}} and [[children]] under seven years of age have a limit of 0 traits; children with 7-9 birthdays, 1 trait; children with 10-12 birthdays, 1-2 traits; and anyone older, 1-3 traits, with no bias towards any particular number. If the pawn's current number of traits is lower than the trait limit, each 'missing' trait is filled in by a random trait, weighed based on each trait's commonality. The randomly gained traits cannot be any of the following:
** Any sexuality trait ([[Asexual]], [[Bisexual]], or [[Gay]])
** [[Wimp]], but only if the pawn is from a [[faction]] hostile to the player's faction
** Any that the pawn already has
** Any that conflict with a trait the pawn already has
** Any prohibited by the pawn's "pawn kind" or backstories
** Any that would disable a work type required by the pawn's "pawn kind"
** Any that requires a work type disabled for the pawn
** Any that would cause the pawn's minor [[mental break threshold]] to rise above 50%
* If the pawn is at least 13 years old, their sexuality is then determined. If the pawn has any romantic or ex-romantic relationship with someone of the same gender, they acquire the Gay trait. Otherwise, they may be Asexual, Bisexual, Gay, or straight (which is not a trait, merely an absence of the three sexuality traits). The random choice is weighted by each sexuality trait's commonality, or in the case of 'straight/no sexuality trait', weighted by the sum commonality of every non-sexuality trait that the pawn does not currently have. Note that since the [[Biotech DLC]] adds two traits with non-zero commonalities, sexuality traits are marginally rarer if Biotech is enabled.
* Afterward, the pawn's [[xenotype]]{{BiotechIcon}} (if any) is determined. If [[Traits#Trait-affecting_genes|certain genes]] are present, this can affect the pawn's trait set, either adding or suppressing traits.
* If the [[Scenario_system#Voluntary_parts|starting scenario forces any traits]], the pawn gains any such traits. The "Forced trait" scenario part can be configured to apply to all pawns in the game, only the player's starting pawns, or only non-player pawns; it can also be configured to have a chance to trigger per pawn between 0-100%.
* Finally, if the pawn is a [[creepjoiner]]{{AnomalyIcon}}, it gains any traits granted by its benefit and/or downside.

=== Starting possessions ===
{{Move|section=1|destination = Pawn Selection|reason=While some of this info can likely be kept in this page, most of it should move to [[Game_Creation|Pawn Selection]] once that page has been created}}
Certain traits may influence the initial possessions of your colonists in the pawn selection menu (either for [[Game_Creation|creating a new game]] or [[Endings#Colony_End|selecting new colonists after a game over]]). Unless you have chosen the [[Scenario_system#Default_Scenarios|Naked Brutality]] start scenario or used the Scenario Editor to add the "no possessions" scenario part, each such colonist may have up to two possessions in their inventory. A stack of items counts as 1 possession. Possessions for each colonist are generated in the following order, ending prematurely if the colonist has two possessions:

* [[Ghoul]]s{{AnomalyIcon}} never have possessions.
* [[Reproduction#Babies|Babies]]{{BiotechIcon}} have between 30-40 units of baby food.
* If the colonist is addicted to a drug, they have enough of the drug to satiate the addiction for roughly 25-35 days.
* If the colonist has a [[Genes#Drugs|genetic drug dependency]]{{BiotechIcon}}, they have enough of the drug to satiate the dependency for roughly 25-35 days.
* If the colonist has [[hemogenic]] gene{{BiotechIcon}}, they have 8-12 [[hemogen pack]]s.
* If the colonist has an adulthood backstory that can grant possessions, there is a 25% chance for them to have those possessions. Note that, should a backstory be capable of granting multiple possessions, this process will still stop once the colonist has two possessions, and the backstory's possessions are always granted in the order they are defined in the backstory.
* '''Traits are accounted for only after all the above steps have been performed'''. There is a 25% chance for a colonist to receive possessions based on their [[Traits#Trait-affecting_genes|non-suppressed traits]]. As with backstories, it is possible for this step to stop midway through once the colonist has two possessions; possessions are always granted in the order the traits present themselves, and per-trait they are granted in the order they are defined in the trait. ''For example, a pawn with the Psychopath trait has a 25% chance to gain a skull and a heart, but a pawn who already has a prior stack of [[flake]] due to a flake addiction would have a 25% chance to only gain a skull.''
* If the colonist still has less than two possessions, there is a 6% chance for them to have a random possession. The list of possible possessions is lengthy, but does not include every possible item in the game.

=== Trait-affecting genes ===
{{Biotech|section=1}}
Certain genes can modify a pawn's traits, either by forcing a trait to be added or suppressing a trait. Forced traits function as normal, though they are visible in the pawn's Bio tab in pale blue text. Suppressed traits do not have any effects, but are still visible in the pawn's Bio tab in dark grey text.

If a forced trait would ordinarily conflict with non-genetically forced trait(s) the pawn already has, the latter is/are suppressed. If it would ordinarily conflict with genetic trait(s) the pawn already has, the latter is/are removed. If a trait-granting gene is removed, the trait will also be removed (unless the pawn already has the trait independent of genes); this un-suppresses any traits it had suppressed which are not suppressed by another gene or trait, and restores any genetically-forced traits that were removed by that gene and which do not conflict with any other trait the pawn has (including suppressed traits). This almost always leads to intuitive results, with one exception: if a pawn has the psychically hyper/sensitive trait, also has the psychically dull/deaf gene in their germline (e.g. due to being a [[Yttakin]]), and then has the other psychic sensitivity trait gene in their xenogenes... removal of the xenogene will remove the trait it forces, but it will also not result in the restoration of the other gene's trait and will not un-suppress the psychically hyper/sensitive trait.

== General traits ==
These traits are generalized into groups, organized roughly by topic but there are no such groupings laid out formally in the game. There are no relations or prohibitions between traits grouped together here unless noted (e.g. a colonist cannot be both "ascetic", wanting a minimal bedroom, ''and'' "jealous" of those with better bedrooms).

* The Gay/Bisexual/Asexual sexuality traits are unique in that they are the only ones that can generate after the 3 trait limit, resulting in rare pawns with 4 traits.
* See also the [[#Beauty|Beauty]] category of traits, below.

== Spectrum traits ==
Theses are groups of related traits, that are inter-related and grouped by degree, creating a "spectrum" of good/bad/better/worse in that specific sphere of behaviour. A colonist can only have one trait from any single related spectrum for these traits, defining whether they are notably outside the norm for, for example, movement speed, or drug interest, or their physical (un)attractiveness.

=== Drug desire ===
These traits affect a colonist's likelihood to consume drugs.

Note that despite the common misconception, chemical fascination and interest pawns no longer randomly go on [[mental break|drug binges]] independent of [[mood]].

| NAME is utterly fascinated with chemical sources of enjoyment.

=== Beauty ===
{{Main|Beauty (Pawn)}}
These traits influence a colonist's appearance and how it affects other colonists' opinions of them - as well as sexual attractiveness.

Each point of beauty corresponds to +20 opinion from other colonists, e.g. a colonist with 2 beauty will have +40 opinion, while another with -1 beauty will have -20.

== Creepjoiner traits ==
{{Anomaly|section=1}}
These traits are never randomly assigned to pawns. They are normally found on [[creepjoiner]]s, and therefore have powerful positive or negative effects to balance out the other strengths and weaknesses creepjoiners have.

=== Positive traits ===
These traits are considered benefits, to compensate whatever mysterious downside haunts the creepjoiner.

{| {{STDT| sortable c_08 }}

The effect does not stack even if there are multiple Joyous pawns present. Pawns not of the player's faction cannot receive the mood buff. A Joyous pawn will not grant its mood bonus to anyone it is currently hostile to.<br>Always and only spawns on creepjoiners with the "Joybringer" benefit, which precludes the "Disturbing" downside.
|- id="Body mastery"
! Body Mastery
| NAME doesn't have basic needs like eating, sleeping, or comfort. His/Her body is driven by some unknown mechanism, which has turned his/her eyes completely white.
| [[Saturation|Food]], [[Sleep]], and [[Comfort]] needs disabled.<br> Note: Because a pawn's mood is partially averaged by their needs, having less needs can render them more prone to mood swings. <br>Eyes are white
|-
|}

=== Negative traits ===
These traits are downsides, meant to counterblance the creepjoiner's powerful benefits. Note that, unlike most other creepjoiner drawbacks, these traits are never hidden; as such, you be assured there are no other nasty surprises waiting for you.

* After [[Version/1.4.3542|1.4.3542]] but pre [[Version/1.5.4062|1.5.4062]] - Chemical Fascination and Interest now only randomly take beer, ambrosia and smokeleaf joints, instead of any drug
* [[Version/1.4.3555|1.4.3555]] - [[Xenogenes]] count as artificial enhancements for [[body modder]]s and [[body purist]]s. Fix: Administer drug doesn't display that teetotalers will be unhappy if there is a chemical dependency gene present.
* [[Version/1.4.3557|1.4.3557]] - Fix typo: "yielding" -> "wielding" in pyromaniac trait description.
* 1.5 or prior - Pyromaniac thought mood effect reduced from {{+|5}} to {{+|2}} and description changed from ''"It makes me think of flame and fire. I'm so happy"'' to ''"It makes me think of flame and fire. I can't wait to use it."'' New thought added for using a flame weapon.
* [[Version/1.5.4062|1.5.4062]] - Rebalance brawler trait to offset skill more than mood - mood penalty for using ranged weapon decreased from {{--|20}} to {{--|10}}, shooting accuracy penalty increased from {{--|4}} to {{--|10}}. Added “pyro used fire weapon” thought. Ascetics ignore "Ate without table" thought. Fix: NRE related to pyromaniacs wielding fire weapons.

[[File:traits_preview.png|right]]'''Traits''' personalize and add flavor to your colonists by granting a wide variety of special bonuses or conditions to their day to day activities, and so encourage more complex player-conceived stories based on those individual characters. Traits provide physical or psychological abilities or limitations, likes/dislikes, behavior tendencies, personality quirks, and so on. Some are beneficial, some are harmful to the colonist or your colony as a whole. Some are constant, some only rarely triggered. Some can be more or less easily negated or manipulated to your advantage by catering to them (or denying them), others are more problematic or outright dangerous.

== Mechanics ==
Only humans have traits. Most humans have 1-3 traits, with the possibility of an "extra" sexuality trait. Adults cannot gain new traits, and there is no way to remove traits.

{{BiotechIcon}} Children usually only have a number of traits no higher than the number of [[Children#Growth_moments|growth moments]] they have reached, and babies have none. Children can attain a new trait every time they reach a new [[Children#Growth_moments|growth moment]] (birthdays 7, 10, and 13).

=== Trait acquisition ===

When a human is generated, it acquires traits according to this process:

* First, the pawn gains any traits that its "pawn kind" requires. ''For example, the titular mechanitor{{BiotechIcon}} of [[Scenario_system#Default_Scenarios|The Mechanitor]] start scenario always has the [[Recluse]] trait.''
* Second, if the pawn is being generated for a quest, it gains any traits required by the quest. ''For example, the imperiled noble from the [[Quests#Noble_Wimp|Noble Wimp]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} quest always has the [[Wimp]] trait.''
* Traits from the pawn's [[backstories]] are then acquired, unless they would conflict with the pawn's "pawn kind". ''For example, a pawn with a backstory composed of the [[Backstories/Tribal_Child|Cave Child]] childhood and the [[Backstories/Tribal_Adult|Scout]] adulthood would have the [[Undergrounder]] and [[Jogger]] traits. However, a hypothetical backstory that grants the Brawler trait will not grant it if the pawn is a "tribal archer", as that pawn kind specifically prohibits the Brawler trait.''
* A trait count limit is chosen, based on the pawn's age. [[Reproduction#Babies|Babies]]{{BiotechIcon}} and [[children]] under seven years of age have a limit of 0 traits; children with 7-9 birthdays, 1 trait; children with 10-12 birthdays, 1-2 traits; and anyone older, 1-3 traits, with no bias towards any particular number. If the pawn's current number of traits is lower than the trait limit, each 'missing' trait is filled in by a random trait, weighed based on each trait's commonality. The randomly gained traits cannot be any of the following:
** Any sexuality trait ([[Asexual]], [[Bisexual]], or [[Gay]])
** [[Wimp]], but only if the pawn is from a [[faction]] hostile to the player's faction
** Any that the pawn already has
** Any that conflict with a trait the pawn already has
** Any prohibited by the pawn's "pawn kind" or backstories
** Any that would disable a work type required by the pawn's "pawn kind"
** Any that requires a work type disabled for the pawn
** Any that would cause the pawn's minor [[mental break threshold]] to rise above 50%
* If the pawn is at least 13 years old, their sexuality is then determined. If the pawn has any romantic or ex-romantic relationship with someone of the same gender, they acquire the Gay trait. Otherwise, they may be Asexual, Bisexual, Gay, or straight (which is not a trait, merely an absence of the three sexuality traits). The random choice is weighted by each sexuality trait's commonality, or in the case of 'straight/no sexuality trait', weighted by the sum commonality of every non-sexuality trait that the pawn does not currently have. Note that since the [[Biotech DLC]] adds two traits with non-zero commonalities, sexuality traits are marginally rarer if Biotech is enabled.
* Afterward, the pawn's [[xenotype]]{{BiotechIcon}} (if any) is determined. If [[Traits#Trait-affecting_genes|certain genes]] are present, this can affect the pawn's trait set, either adding or suppressing traits.
* If the [[Scenario_system#Voluntary_parts|starting scenario forces any traits]], the pawn gains any such traits. The "Forced trait" scenario part can be configured to apply to all pawns in the game, only the player's starting pawns, or only non-player pawns; it can also be configured to have a chance to trigger per pawn between 0-100%.
* Finally, if the pawn is a [[creepjoiner]]{{AnomalyIcon}}, it gains any traits granted by its benefit and/or downside.

=== Starting possessions ===
{{Move|section=1|destination = Pawn Selection|reason=While some of this info can likely be kept in this page, most of it should move to [[Game_Creation|Pawn Selection]] once that page has been created}}
Certain traits may influence the initial possessions of your colonists in the pawn selection menu (either for [[Game_Creation|creating a new game]] or [[Endings#Colony_End|selecting new colonists after a game over]]). Unless you have chosen the [[Scenario_system#Default_Scenarios|Naked Brutality]] start scenario or used the Scenario Editor to add the "no possessions" scenario part, each such colonist may have up to two possessions in their inventory. A stack of items counts as 1 possession. Possessions for each colonist are generated in the following order, ending prematurely if the colonist has two possessions:

* [[Ghoul]]s{{AnomalyIcon}} never have possessions.
* [[Reproduction#Babies|Babies]]{{BiotechIcon}} have between 30-40 units of baby food.
* If the colonist is addicted to a drug, they have enough of the drug to satiate the addiction for roughly 25-35 days.
* If the colonist has a [[Genes#Drugs|genetic drug dependency]]{{BiotechIcon}}, they have enough of the drug to satiate the dependency for roughly 25-35 days.
* If the colonist has [[hemogenic]] gene{{BiotechIcon}}, they have 8-12 [[hemogen pack]]s.
* If the colonist has an adulthood backstory that can grant possessions, there is a 25% chance for them to have those possessions. Note that, should a backstory be capable of granting multiple possessions, this process will still stop once the colonist has two possessions, and the backstory's possessions are always granted in the order they are defined in the backstory.
* '''Traits are accounted for only after all the above steps have been performed'''. There is a 25% chance for a colonist to receive possessions based on their [[Traits#Trait-affecting_genes|non-suppressed traits]]. As with backstories, it is possible for this step to stop midway through once the colonist has two possessions; possessions are always granted in the order the traits present themselves, and per-trait they are granted in the order they are defined in the trait. ''For example, a pawn with the Psychopath trait has a 25% chance to gain a skull and a heart, but a pawn who already has a prior stack of [[flake]] due to a flake addiction would have a 25% chance to only gain a skull.''
* If the colonist still has less than two possessions, there is a 6% chance for them to have a random possession. The list of possible possessions is lengthy, but does not include every possible item in the game.

=== Trait-affecting genes ===
{{Biotech|section=1}}
Certain genes can modify a pawn's traits, either by forcing a trait to be added or suppressing a trait. Forced traits function as normal, though they are visible in the pawn's Bio tab in pale blue text. Suppressed traits do not have any effects, but are still visible in the pawn's Bio tab in dark grey text.

If a forced trait would ordinarily conflict with non-genetically forced trait(s) the pawn already has, the latter is/are suppressed. If it would ordinarily conflict with genetic trait(s) the pawn already has, the latter is/are removed. If a trait-granting gene is removed, the trait will also be removed (unless the pawn already has the trait independent of genes); this un-suppresses any traits it had suppressed which are not suppressed by another gene or trait, and restores any genetically-forced traits that were removed by that gene and which do not conflict with any other trait the pawn has (including suppressed traits). This almost always leads to intuitive results, with one exception: if a pawn has the psychically hyper/sensitive trait, also has the psychically dull/deaf gene in their germline (e.g. due to being a [[Yttakin]]), and then has the other psychic sensitivity trait gene in their xenogenes... removal of the xenogene will remove the trait it forces, but it will also not result in the restoration of the other gene's trait and will not un-suppress the psychically hyper/sensitive trait.

== General traits ==
These traits are generalized into groups, organized roughly by topic but there are no such groupings laid out formally in the game. There are no relations or prohibitions between traits grouped together here unless noted (e.g. a colonist cannot be both "ascetic", wanting a minimal bedroom, ''and'' "jealous" of those with better bedrooms).

* The Gay/Bisexual/Asexual sexuality traits are unique in that they are the only ones that can generate after the 3 trait limit, resulting in rare pawns with 4 traits.
* See also the [[#Beauty|Beauty]] category of traits, below.

== Spectrum traits ==
Theses are groups of related traits, that are inter-related and grouped by degree, creating a "spectrum" of good/bad/better/worse in that specific sphere of behaviour. A colonist can only have one trait from any single related spectrum for these traits, defining whether they are notably outside the norm for, for example, movement speed, or drug interest, or their physical (un)attractiveness.

=== Drug desire ===
These traits affect a colonist's likelihood to consume drugs.

Note that despite the common misconception, chemical fascination and interest pawns no longer randomly go on [[mental break|drug binges]] independent of [[mood]].

== Creepjoiner traits ==
{{Anomaly|section=1}}
These traits are never randomly assigned to pawns. They are normally found on [[creepjoiner]]s, and therefore have powerful positive or negative effects to balance out the other strengths and weaknesses creepjoiners have.

=== Positive traits ===
These traits are considered benefits, to compensate whatever mysterious downside haunts the creepjoiner.

|- id="Occultist"
! Occultist

=== Negative traits ===
These traits are downsides, meant to counterblance the creepjoiner's powerful benefits. Note that, unlike most other creepjoiner drawbacks, these traits are never hidden; as such, you be assured there are no other nasty surprises waiting for you.

[[File:traits_preview.png|right]]'''Traits''' personalize and add flavor to your colonists by granting a wide variety of special bonuses or conditions to their day to day activities, and so encourage more complex player-conceived stories based on those individual characters. Traits provide physical or psychological abilities or limitations, likes/dislikes, behavior tendencies, personality quirks, and so on. Some are beneficial, some are harmful to the colonist or your colony as a whole. Some are constant, some only rarely triggered. Some can be more or less easily negated or manipulated to your advantage by catering to them (or denying them), others are more problematic or outright dangerous.

== Mechanics ==
Only humans have traits. Most humans have 1-3 traits, with the possibility of an "extra" sexuality trait. Adults cannot gain new traits, and there is no way to remove traits.

{{BiotechIcon}} Children usually only have a number of traits no higher than the number of [[Children#Growth_moments|growth moments]] they have reached, and babies have none. Children can attain a new trait every time they reach a new [[Children#Growth_moments|growth moment]] (birthdays 7, 10, and 13).

=== Trait acquisition ===

When a human is generated, it acquires traits according to this process:

* First, the pawn gains any traits that its "pawn kind" requires. ''For example, the titular mechanitor{{BiotechIcon}} of [[Scenario_system#Default_Scenarios|The Mechanitor]] start scenario always has the [[Recluse]] trait.''
* Second, if the pawn is being generated for a quest, it gains any traits required by the quest. ''For example, the imperiled noble from the [[Quests#Noble_Wimp|Noble Wimp]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} quest always has the [[Wimp]] trait.''
* Traits from the pawn's [[backstories]] are then acquired, unless they would conflict with the pawn's "pawn kind". ''For example, a pawn with a backstory composed of the [[Backstories/Tribal_Child|Cave Child]] childhood and the [[Backstories/Tribal_Adult|Scout]] adulthood would have the [[Undergrounder]] and [[Jogger]] traits. However, a hypothetical backstory that grants the Brawler trait will not grant it if the pawn is a "tribal archer", as that pawn kind specifically prohibits the Brawler trait.''
* A trait count limit is chosen, based on the pawn's age. [[Reproduction#Babies|Babies]]{{BiotechIcon}} and [[children]] under seven years of age have a limit of 0 traits; children with 7-9 birthdays, 1 trait; children with 10-12 birthdays, 1-2 traits; and anyone older, 1-3 traits, with no bias towards any particular number. If the pawn's current number of traits is lower than the trait limit, each 'missing' trait is filled in by a random trait, weighed based on each trait's commonality. The randomly gained traits cannot be any of the following:
** Any sexuality trait ([[Asexual]], [[Bisexual]], or [[Gay]])
** [[Wimp]], but only if the pawn is from a [[faction]] hostile to the player's faction
** Any that the pawn already has
** Any that conflict with a trait the pawn already has
** Any prohibited by the pawn's "pawn kind" or backstories
** Any that would disable a work type required by the pawn's "pawn kind"
** Any that requires a work type disabled for the pawn
** Any that would cause the pawn's minor [[mental break threshold]] to rise above 50%
* If the pawn is at least 13 years old, their sexuality is then determined. If the pawn has any romantic or ex-romantic relationship with someone of the same gender, they acquire the Gay trait. Otherwise, they may be Asexual, Bisexual, Gay, or straight (which is not a trait, merely an absence of the three sexuality traits). The random choice is weighted by each sexuality trait's commonality, or in the case of 'straight/no sexuality trait', weighted by the sum commonality of every non-sexuality trait that the pawn does not currently have. Note that since the [[Biotech DLC]] adds two traits with non-zero commonalities, sexuality traits are marginally rarer if Biotech is enabled.
* Afterward, the pawn's [[xenotype]]{{BiotechIcon}} (if any) is determined. If [[Traits#Trait-affecting_genes|certain genes]] are present, this can affect the pawn's trait set, either adding or suppressing traits.
* If the [[Scenario_system#Voluntary_parts|starting scenario forces any traits]], the pawn gains any such traits. The "Forced trait" scenario part can be configured to apply to all pawns in the game, only the player's starting pawns, or only non-player pawns; it can also be configured to have a chance to trigger per pawn between 0-100%.
* Finally, if the pawn is a [[creepjoiner]]{{AnomalyIcon}}, it gains any traits granted by its benefit and/or downside.

=== Starting possessions ===
{{Move|section=1|destination = Pawn Selection|reason=While some of this info can likely be kept in this page, most of it should move to [[Game_Creation|Pawn Selection]] once that page has been created}}
Certain traits may influence the initial possessions of your colonists in the pawn selection menu (either for [[Game_Creation|creating a new game]] or [[Endings#Colony_End|selecting new colonists after a game over]]). Unless you have chosen the [[Scenario_system#Default_Scenarios|Naked Brutality]] start scenario or used the Scenario Editor to add the "no possessions" scenario part, each such colonist may have up to two possessions in their inventory. A stack of items counts as 1 possession. Possessions for each colonist are generated in the following order, ending prematurely if the colonist has two possessions:

* [[Ghoul]]s{{AnomalyIcon}} never have possessions.
* [[Reproduction#Babies|Babies]]{{BiotechIcon}} have between 30-40 units of baby food.
* If the colonist is addicted to a drug, they have enough of the drug to satiate the addiction for roughly 25-35 days.
* If the colonist has a [[Genes#Drugs|genetic drug dependency]]{{BiotechIcon}}, they have enough of the drug to satiate the dependency for roughly 25-35 days.
* If the colonist has [[hemogenic]] gene{{BiotechIcon}}, they have 8-12 [[hemogen pack]]s.
* If the colonist has an adulthood backstory that can grant possessions, there is a 25% chance for them to have those possessions. Note that, should a backstory be capable of granting multiple possessions, this process will still stop once the colonist has two possessions, and the backstory's possessions are always granted in the order they are defined in the backstory.
* '''Traits are accounted for only after all the above steps have been performed'''. There is a 25% chance for a colonist to receive possessions based on their [[Traits#Trait-affecting_genes|non-suppressed traits]]. As with backstories, it is possible for this step to stop midway through once the colonist has two possessions; possessions are always granted in the order the traits present themselves, and per-trait they are granted in the order they are defined in the trait. ''For example, a pawn with the Psychopath trait has a 25% chance to gain a skull and a heart, but a pawn who already has a prior stack of [[flake]] due to a flake addiction would have a 25% chance to only gain a skull.''
* If the colonist still has less than two possessions, there is a 6% chance for them to have a random possession. The list of possible possessions is lengthy, but does not include every possible item in the game.

=== Trait-affecting genes ===
{{Biotech|section=1}}
Certain genes can modify a pawn's traits, either by forcing a trait to be added or suppressing a trait. Forced traits function as normal, though they are visible in the pawn's Bio tab in pale blue text. Suppressed traits do not have any effects, but are still visible in the pawn's Bio tab in dark grey text.

If a forced trait would ordinarily conflict with non-genetically forced trait(s) the pawn already has, the latter is/are suppressed. If it would ordinarily conflict with genetic trait(s) the pawn already has, the latter is/are removed. If a trait-granting gene is removed, the trait will also be removed (unless the pawn already has the trait independent of genes); this un-suppresses any traits it had suppressed which are not suppressed by another gene or trait, and restores any genetically-forced traits that were removed by that gene and which do not conflict with any other trait the pawn has (including suppressed traits). This almost always leads to intuitive results, with one exception: if a pawn has the psychically hyper/sensitive trait, also has the psychically dull/deaf gene in their germline (e.g. due to being a [[Yttakin]]), and then has the other psychic sensitivity trait gene in their xenogenes... removal of the xenogene will remove the trait it forces, but it will also not result in the restoration of the other gene's trait and will not un-suppress the psychically hyper/sensitive trait.

== General traits ==
These traits are generalized into groups, organized roughly by topic but there are no such groupings laid out formally in the game. There are no relations or prohibitions between traits grouped together here unless noted (e.g. a colonist cannot be both "ascetic", wanting a minimal bedroom, ''and'' "jealous" of those with better bedrooms).

* The Gay/Bisexual/Asexual sexuality traits are unique in that they are the only ones that can generate after the 3 trait limit, resulting in rare pawns with 4 traits.
* See also the [[#Beauty|Beauty]] category of traits, below.

== Spectrum traits ==
Theses are groups of related traits, that are inter-related and grouped by degree, creating a "spectrum" of good/bad/better/worse in that specific sphere of behaviour. A colonist can only have one trait from any single related spectrum for these traits, defining whether they are notably outside the norm for, for example, movement speed, or drug interest, or their physical (un)attractiveness.

=== Drug desire ===
These traits affect a colonist's likelihood to consume drugs.

These traits influence a colonist's appearance and how it affects other colonists' opinions of them - as well as sexual attractiveness.

Each point of beauty corresponds to +20 opinion from other colonists, e.g. a colonist with 2 beauty will have +40 opinion, while another with -1 beauty will have -20.

== Creepjoiner traits ==
{{Anomaly|section=1}}
These traits are never randomly assigned to pawns. They are normally found on [[creepjoiner]]s, and therefore have powerful positive or negative effects to balance out the other strengths and weaknesses creepjoiners have.

=== Positive traits ===
These traits are considered benefits, to compensate whatever mysterious downside haunts the creepjoiner.

|- id="Occultist"

A Joyous pawn will not grant its mood bonus to anyone it is currently hostile to.<br>Always and only spawns on creepjoiners with the "Joybringer" benefit, which precludes the "Disturbing" downside.
|- id="Body mastery"

| NAME doesn't have basic needs like eating, sleeping, or comfort. His/Her body is driven by some unknown mechanism, which has turned his/her eyes completely white.
| [[Saturation|Food]], [[Sleep]], and [[Comfort]] needs disabled.<br> Note: Because a pawn's mood is partially averaged by their needs, having less needs can render them more prone to mood swings. <br>Eyes are white
|-
|}

=== Negative traits ===
These traits are downsides, meant to counterblance the creepjoiner's powerful benefits. Note that, unlike most other creepjoiner drawbacks, these traits are never hidden; as such, you be assured there are no other nasty surprises waiting for you.

[[File:traits_preview.png|right]]'''Traits''' personalize and add flavor to your colonists by granting a wide variety of special bonuses or conditions to their day to day activities, and so encourage more complex player-conceived stories based on those individual characters. Traits provide physical or psychological abilities or limitations, likes/dislikes, behavior tendencies, personality quirks, and so on. Some are beneficial, some are harmful to the colonist or your colony as a whole. Some are constant, some only rarely triggered. Some can be more or less easily negated or manipulated to your advantage by catering to them (or denying them), others are more problematic or outright dangerous.

== Mechanics ==
Only humans have traits. Most humans have 1-3 traits, with the possibility of an "extra" sexuality trait. Adults cannot gain new traits, and there is no way to remove traits.

{{BiotechIcon}} Children usually only have a number of traits no higher than the number of [[Children#Growth_moments|growth moments]] they have reached, and babies have none. Children can attain a new trait every time they reach a new [[Children#Growth_moments|growth moment]] (birthdays 7, 10, and 13).

=== Trait acquisition ===

When a human is generated, it acquires traits according to this process:

* First, the pawn gains any traits that its "pawn kind" requires. ''For example, the titular mechanitor{{BiotechIcon}} of [[Scenario_system#Default_Scenarios|The Mechanitor]] start scenario always has the [[Recluse]] trait.''
* Second, if the pawn is being generated for a quest, it gains any traits required by the quest. ''For example, the imperiled noble from the [[Quests#Noble_Wimp|Noble Wimp]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} quest always has the [[Wimp]] trait.''
* Traits from the pawn's [[backstories]] are then acquired, unless they would conflict with the pawn's "pawn kind". ''For example, a pawn with a backstory composed of the [[Backstories/Tribal_Child|Cave Child]] childhood and the [[Backstories/Tribal_Adult|Scout]] adulthood would have the [[Undergrounder]] and [[Jogger]] traits. However, a hypothetical backstory that grants the Brawler trait will not grant it if the pawn is a "tribal archer", as that pawn kind specifically prohibits the Brawler trait.''
* A trait count limit is chosen, based on the pawn's age. [[Reproduction#Babies|Babies]]{{BiotechIcon}} and [[children]] under seven years of age have a limit of 0 traits; children with 7-9 birthdays, 1 trait; children with 10-12 birthdays, 1-2 traits; and anyone older, 1-3 traits, with no bias towards any particular number. If the pawn's current number of traits is lower than the trait limit, each 'missing' trait is filled in by a random trait, weighed based on each trait's commonality. The randomly gained traits cannot be any of the following:
** Any sexuality trait ([[Asexual]], [[Bisexual]], or [[Gay]])
** [[Wimp]], but only if the pawn is from a [[faction]] hostile to the player's faction
** Any that the pawn already has
** Any that conflict with a trait the pawn already has
** Any prohibited by the pawn's "pawn kind" or backstories
** Any that would disable a work type required by the pawn's "pawn kind"
** Any that requires a work type disabled for the pawn
** Any that would cause the pawn's minor [[mental break threshold]] to rise above 50%
* If the pawn is at least 13 years old, their sexuality is then determined. If the pawn has any romantic or ex-romantic relationship with someone of the same gender, they acquire the Gay trait. Otherwise, they may be Asexual, Bisexual, Gay, or straight (which is not a trait, merely an absence of the three sexuality traits). The random choice is weighted by each sexuality trait's commonality, or in the case of 'straight/no sexuality trait', weighted by the sum commonality of every non-sexuality trait that the pawn does not currently have. Note that since the [[Biotech DLC]] adds two traits with non-zero commonalities, sexuality traits are marginally rarer if Biotech is enabled.
* Afterward, the pawn's [[xenotype]]{{BiotechIcon}} (if any) is determined. If [[Traits#Trait-affecting_genes|certain genes]] are present, this can affect the pawn's trait set, either adding or suppressing traits.
* If the [[Scenario_system#Voluntary_parts|starting scenario forces any traits]], the pawn gains any such traits. The "Forced trait" scenario part can be configured to apply to all pawns in the game, only the player's starting pawns, or only non-player pawns; it can also be configured to have a chance to trigger per pawn between 0-100%.
* Finally, if the pawn is a [[creepjoiner]]{{AnomalyIcon}}, it gains any traits granted by its benefit and/or downside.

=== Starting possessions ===
{{Move|section=1|destination = Pawn Selection|reason=While some of this info can likely be kept in this page, most of it should move to [[Game_Creation|Pawn Selection]] once that page has been created}}
Certain traits may influence the initial possessions of your colonists in the pawn selection menu (either for [[Game_Creation|creating a new game]] or [[Endings#Colony_End|selecting new colonists after a game over]]). Unless you have chosen the [[Scenario_system#Default_Scenarios|Naked Brutality]] start scenario or used the Scenario Editor to add the "no possessions" scenario part, each such colonist may have up to two possessions in their inventory. A stack of items counts as 1 possession. Possessions for each colonist are generated in the following order, ending prematurely if the colonist has two possessions:

* [[Ghoul]]s{{AnomalyIcon}} never have possessions.
* [[Reproduction#Babies|Babies]]{{BiotechIcon}} have between 30-40 units of baby food.
* If the colonist is addicted to a drug, they have enough of the drug to satiate the addiction for roughly 25-35 days.
* If the colonist has a [[Genes#Drugs|genetic drug dependency]]{{BiotechIcon}}, they have enough of the drug to satiate the dependency for roughly 25-35 days.
* If the colonist has [[hemogenic]] gene{{BiotechIcon}}, they have 8-12 [[hemogen pack]]s.
* If the colonist has an adulthood backstory that can grant possessions, there is a 25% chance for them to have those possessions. Note that, should a backstory be capable of granting multiple possessions, this process will still stop once the colonist has two possessions, and the backstory's possessions are always granted in the order they are defined in the backstory.
* '''Traits are accounted for only after all the above steps have been performed'''. There is a 25% chance for a colonist to receive possessions based on their [[Traits#Trait-affecting_genes|non-suppressed traits]]. As with backstories, it is possible for this step to stop midway through once the colonist has two possessions; possessions are always granted in the order the traits present themselves, and per-trait they are granted in the order they are defined in the trait. ''For example, a pawn with the Psychopath trait has a 25% chance to gain a skull and a heart, but a pawn who already has a prior stack of [[flake]] due to a flake addiction would have a 25% chance to only gain a skull.''
* If the colonist still has less than two possessions, there is a 6% chance for them to have a random possession. The list of possible possessions is lengthy, but does not include every possible item in the game.

=== Trait-affecting genes ===
{{Biotech|section=1}}
Certain genes can modify a pawn's traits, either by forcing a trait to be added or suppressing a trait. Forced traits function as normal, though they are visible in the pawn's Bio tab in pale blue text. Suppressed traits do not have any effects, but are still visible in the pawn's Bio tab in dark grey text.

If a forced trait would ordinarily conflict with non-genetically forced trait(s) the pawn already has, the latter is/are suppressed. If it would ordinarily conflict with genetic trait(s) the pawn already has, the latter is/are removed. If a trait-granting gene is removed, the trait will also be removed (unless the pawn already has the trait independent of genes); this un-suppresses any traits it had suppressed which are not suppressed by another gene or trait, and restores any genetically-forced traits that were removed by that gene and which do not conflict with any other trait the pawn has (including suppressed traits). This almost always leads to intuitive results, with one exception: if a pawn has the psychically hyper/sensitive trait, also has the psychically dull/deaf gene in their germline (e.g. due to being a [[Yttakin]]), and then has the other psychic sensitivity trait gene in their xenogenes... removal of the xenogene will remove the trait it forces, but it will also not result in the restoration of the other gene's trait and will not un-suppress the psychically hyper/sensitive trait.

== General traits ==
These traits are generalized into groups, organized roughly by topic but there are no such groupings laid out formally in the game. There are no relations or prohibitions between traits grouped together here unless noted (e.g. a colonist cannot be both "ascetic", wanting a minimal bedroom, ''and'' "jealous" of those with better bedrooms).

* The Gay/Bisexual/Asexual sexuality traits are unique in that they are the only ones that can generate after the 3 trait limit, resulting in rare pawns with 4 traits.
* See also the [[#Beauty|Beauty]] category of traits, below.

== Spectrum traits ==
Theses are groups of related traits, that are inter-related and grouped by degree, creating a "spectrum" of good/bad/better/worse in that specific sphere of behaviour. A colonist can only have one trait from any single related spectrum for these traits, defining whether they are notably outside the norm for, for example, movement speed, or drug interest, or their physical (un)attractiveness.

=== Drug desire ===
These traits affect a colonist's likelihood to consume drugs.

Note that despite the common misconception, chemical fascination and interest pawns no longer randomly go on [[mental break|drug binges]] independent of [[mood]].

| NAME is utterly fascinated with chemical sources of enjoyment.

=== Beauty ===
{{Main|Beauty (Pawn)}}
These traits influence a colonist's appearance and how it affects other colonists' opinions of them - as well as sexual attractiveness.

Each point of beauty corresponds to +20 opinion from other colonists, e.g. a colonist with 2 beauty will have +40 opinion, while another with -1 beauty will have -20.

== Creepjoiner traits ==
{{Anomaly|section=1}}
These traits are never randomly assigned to pawns. They are normally found on [[creepjoiner]]s, and therefore have powerful positive or negative effects to balance out the other strengths and weaknesses creepjoiners have.

=== Positive traits ===
These traits are considered benefits, to compensate whatever mysterious downside haunts the creepjoiner.

{| {{STDT| sortable c_08 }}
! Name
! Description
! Effect
|- id="Perfect memory"
! Perfect Memory
| NAME has outstanding memory, both in terms of retaining information but also muscle memory. His/Her skills will never decay.
| Skills cannot decay<br>Always and only spawns on creepjoiners with the "Perfect Human" benefit, which also comes with the Industrious trait and a starting level of 14-18 for each skill.
|- id="Occultist"
! Occultist
| NAME has deep knowledge of the twisted patterns of dark psychic energy. S/He can study unnatural entities faster than others. S/He will also periodically teach this inhuman knowledge to others when s/he gets the chance.
| [[Study Efficiency]] {{+|100%}}<br>[[Entity Study Rate]] {{+|50%}}<br>Can perform an "occult teaching" random social interactions, giving +1 dark research. This has a cooldown of 1 day; when off cooldown, it will always be the next random social interaction chosen.

| {{+|20}} opinion from other pawns<br>While not imprisoned or enslaved, {{+|3}} mood to all other non-prisoner colonists on the same map who are not currently in a mental break. The effect does not stack even if there are multiple Joyous pawns present. Pawns not of the player's faction cannot receive the mood buff. A Joyous pawn will not grant its mood bonus to anyone it is currently hostile to.<br>Always and only spawns on creepjoiners with the "Joybringer" benefit, which precludes the "Disturbing" downside.
|- id="Body mastery"
! Body Mastery
| NAME doesn't have basic needs like eating, sleeping, or comfort. His/Her body is driven by some unknown mechanism, which has turned his/her eyes completely white.
| [[Saturation|Food]], [[Sleep]], and [[Comfort]] needs disabled.<br> Note: Because a pawn's mood is partially averaged by their needs, having less needs can render them more prone to mood swings. <br>Eyes are white
|-
|}

=== Negative traits ===
These traits are downsides, meant to counterblance the creepjoiner's powerful benefits. Note that, unlike most other creepjoiner drawbacks, these traits are never hidden; as such, you be assured there are no other nasty surprises waiting for you.

{| {{STDT| sortable c_08 }}

=== Factors ===
The following factors are applied after the ''Offsets''.
* '''[[Moving|Moving capacity]]''': [[Moving Importance::1|100%]] importance, no allowed defect. [[Moving Limit::-|No]] Max (effectively 428%).
* '''[[Glucosoid pump]]''':{{BiotechIcon}} Creates Glucosoid Rush effect, +12% per Glucosoid pump. Maximum four, for x148%. Requires ability to [[Deathrest]].
* '''[[Genes]]''':{{BiotechIcon}} These genes create offsets on Move Speed under certain conditions.
** '''[[Mild UV sensitivity]]''':{{BiotechIcon}} {{Bad|x90%}} when in sunlight (when on an unroofed tile while light levels from natural sunlight are 11% or more).
** '''[[Intense UV sensitivity]]''':{{BiotechIcon}} {{Bad|x80%}} when in sunlight (when on an unroofed tile while light levels from natural sunlight are 11% or more).
** '''[[Pollution stimulus]]''':{{BiotechIcon}} Scales with time spent on polluted tiles, maximum of {{Good|x120%}}.
* '''[[Children#Move_speed|Age]]''': Children have offsets on their movespeed, determined by age.

Pawns that are [[Sight|Blind]], have the [[Ideoligion#Lighting|Lighting: Darklight preferred]] precept,{{IdeologyIcon}} or have the [[Dark vision]] gene {{BiotechIcon}} are unaffected by this factor.{{Check Tag|Animals/Mechanoids?}}

=== External factors ===
==== [[Weather]] ====
* Rain and Foggy rain: '''×90%'''
* Rainy thunderstorm and Hard snow: '''×80%'''

==== Path cost ====
Floors, buildings, items and plants add path cost. Where each path cost adds about 7.7% to the time it would take the pawn to traverse this tile unhindered. The move speed factor can therefore be calculated like this:

move speed factor = 1 / (1 + path cost * 0.077)

For terrain, flooring and things with a path cost of 20 or below, a pawn is slowed down every time they enter a tile with that thing. For things with a path cost of 25 or above continuing walking on a thing with a path cost of 25 or higher doesn't slow the pawn down again (even if it gets higher).{{Check Tag|Fact check|1) What about 21 to 24? Especially Blood torch need testing. 2) What does the pathCostIgnoreRepeat parameter do?}} Walking over an item on a workbench slows the pawn down again, items on shelves have no additional effect, however.

Below is a selection of some common values. Minified things have a path cost of 14.

== Example ==
[[File:Maximum move speed vs normal.mp4|right|thumb|Speed of 29.61 c/s vs base speed of 4.6 c/s]]
Moving speed of a particular pawn can be calculated using the following formula:

'''Move speed''' = (Base value + Offsets) × Factors × External factors

Let us calculate how fast a human could possibly go. It would have the following values:
* Base value: '''{{Q|human|Move Speed Base}} c/s'''
* Offsets:
** [[Jogger]] trait: {{+|0.4 c/s}}
** [[Very fast runner]] gene {{BiotechIcon}}: {{+|0.4 c/s}}
** [[Naked speed]] gene unclothed {{BiotechIcon}}: {{+|0.1 c/s}}
** [[Juggernaut serum]]:{{AnomalyIcon}} {{+|0.5 {{CS}}}}
** [[Frenzy inducer]]:{{AnomalyIcon}} Variable, caps at {{+|0.4 {{CS}}}}
* Factors:
** Moving capacity: '''×{{%|{{Q|Moving|Effective Maximum}} }}''' (''see [[Moving#Example|moving]]'')<ref>Be aware that it is not normally possible to achieve this speed in a short time since the three hard drugs required to take have a 100% chance of causing a Minor Overdose and reducing Consciousness by 50%. With [[Biotech (DLC)]]{{BiotechIcon}}, it is possible to gain [[Genes]] that can reduce the likelihood of an overdose, or even prevent it entirely. However, even with the Gene for Wake-up Impervious, a heart attack can still occur if the pawn does not have a Bionic heart. </ref>
** [[Glucosoid pump]]: Creates Glucosoid Rush effect, +12% per Glucosoid pump. Maximum four, for x148%. Requires ability to [[Deathrest]].
** [[Pollution stimulus]]: Maximum x120% when the pawn is on polluted tiles.
** [[Inspiration#Go frenzy|Go frenzy]] inspiration: '''×140%'''
* External factor: '''×100%'''

'''Move speed''' = ({{Q|Human|Move Speed Base}} c/s + 0.4 c/s + 0.4 c/s + 0.1 c/s + 0.5c/s + 0.4c/s) × (4.28 × 1.20 x 1.48 1.4) × 1 = '''{{#expr: ({{Q|Human|Move Speed Base}}+0.4+0.4+0.1+.5+.4)*4.28*1.2*1.48*1.4 round2}} c/s'''

== Notes ==
Offsets, such as the speed decrease from gear or traits, occurs before multiplicative factors such as Moving. So while a normal human moves at 4.6c/s, and a human in a flak vest moves at 4.48c/s for a difference of -0.12c/s, a pawn with 2 [[archotech leg]]s would move at 6.9c/s while the same pawn in a flak vest would move at 6.72c/s for a difference of -0.18c/s. Similarly, jogger-traited human moves at 5.00c/s for a difference of 0.40/s compared to baseline, but a pawn with 2 [[archotech leg]]s would move at 6.9c/s while the same pawn as a jogger would move at 7.50c/s for a difference of +0.60c/s.

== Slowing down attackers ==
[[File:Speed in cluttered corridor.mp4|thumb|Different constructions and items that can be placed in a corridor to slow down attackers.]]
Structures can be built to reduce the speed of movement of attackers, for example before a [[killbox]].

One of the most commonly used techniques is to place objects or constructions alternating with empty tiles, as it is not the items or constructions that slow down the pawns, but the fact of climbing on and off them.

However, pawns are significantly more slowed down by doors held open in a row, and even more by placing chunks or other items inside them.

Here is a table of the configurations shown in the thumbnail video, as well as other similar items or constructions (time is to cross 41 tiles, move speed factor is approximate):

|}
; Notes
* Only 1×1 constructions have been tested here.
* It doesn't seem to matter what the construction is made of (wooden shelves are identical to granite ones, as are the doors), how big it is (an elephant's corpse is just as quick to get past as a rat's, one block is the same as a stack of 25), or if it's turned on or not (for example, braziers that are lit or not are identical).
* Fence gates have been tested, but enemies cannot pass over them, open them or shoot through them, so they are not useful here.
* Items and constructions available in the DLCs have not been tested.

=== Analysis ===
The best solution seems to be to have a row of open doors with alternating [[chunk]]s and [[corpse]]s (1×1 [[stockpile]]s are an easy way to replace destroyed items and corpses).

The advantage of adding rotting/dessicated human corpses is that it gives enemies who pass the '[[Mood#Observed rotting corpse|Observed rotting corpse]] ×5' debuff -12 (also using 1×1 stockpiles, placing 5 corpses is sometimes not enough, but 10 are), the downside is that it gives the same debuff to your pawns if they're within four tiles (unless they are [[bloodlust]]; [[cannibal]]s and [[psychopath]]s don't care about fresh corpses, but corpses rot pretty quickly). Animal corpses can also be used, but they're often more useful as meat.

One drawback is that it is not possible to target a [[fire]] in a door with the [[Waterskip]] psycast, but on the other hand, [[Temperature#Heat transfer between rooms|heat]] spreads slower as every door creates its own room (although temperature gets quickly extreme as the 'room' is tiny).

In the early game, using only chunks every two tiles is a good option, as they cost nothing and can be quickly replaced using the stockpile trick.

: {{note|1|1}} Note: Despite having a minimum and maximum comfortable temperature defined, mechanoids are unaffected by temperature extremes.
: {{note|2|2}} Note: Unlike most pawns, insectoids do not experience hypothermia and death from low temperatures and instead experience hypothermic slowdown.

== Factors ==
There are three ways to decrease a pawns minimum comfortable temperature: [[Apparel]], [[Genes]]{{BiotechIcon}}, and hediffs. Note that insulation from apparel and the Inhumanized Hediff do not affect whether a pawn receives the ''"Slept in the cold/heat"'' mood penalty, but the effects of genes do.

[[Apparel]] decreases minimum comfortable temperature by its [[Apparel#Insulation|Insulation - Cold]] which is modified by its quality, and if [[stuffable]] by the insulation factor of the material from which it is made. Apparel will never increase a pawns minimum comfortable temperature, so it is not necessary to remove clothing to make a pawn more comfortable. See [[Apparel#Insulation|Insulation]] for further details.

There are 5 genes{{BiotechIcon}} that affect a pawn's minimum comfortable temperature:
* [[Cold weakness]] gene:{{BiotechIcon}} {{++|{{Temperature|5||delta}} }}
* [[Breathless]] gene:{{BiotechIcon}}{{OdysseyIcon}}{{---|{{Temperature|5||delta}} }}
* [[Vacuum resistant]] gene:{{BiotechIcon}}{{OdysseyIcon}}{{---|{{Temperature|5||delta}} }}
* [[Cold tolerant]] gene:{{BiotechIcon}} {{---|{{Temperature|10||delta}} }}
* [[Cold super-tolerant]] gene:{{BiotechIcon}} {{---|{{Temperature|20||delta}} }}
* [[Furskin]] gene:{{BiotechIcon}} {{---|{{Temperature|10||delta}} }}
* [[Furry tail]] gene:{{BiotechIcon}} {{---|{{Temperature|10||delta}} }}

There are five hediffs that affects a pawn's minimum comfortable temperature:
* [[Inhumanized]]:{{AnomalyIcon}} {{Good|{{Temperature|-16||delta}}}}
* [[Ghoul]]:{{AnomalyIcon}} {{---|{{Temperature|40||delta}} }} - Note: Ghouls have significant limitation on their capabilities and cannot wear apparel.
* [[Shambler]]:{{AnomalyIcon}} {{---|{{Temperature|60||delta}} }} - Note: Shamblers are no longer controllable and have significant limitation on their capabilities.
* [[Vacskin gland]]:{{RoyaltyIcon}}{{OdysseyIcon}} {{---|{{Temperature|10||delta}} }}
* [[Blood warmer]]:{{AnomalyIcon}}{{OdysseyIcon}} {{---|{{Temperature|26||delta}} }} for each - Note: Only available for Ghouls.

'''Starjack''' are a [[Xenotypes|xenohuman]] breed engineered to be more effective space crew maintenance workers. They are well suited for construction work outside the safety of space stations in the vacuum of space where heat and cold tend to fluctuate. However, due to being more adapted for zero-gravity environments, they make for terrible melee fighters.

== Lore ==
<onlyinclude>Starjack are one of humanity's oldest xenotypes and played a crucial role in the colonization of space. They are commonly seen on deep-space stations and interstellar ships, where genetic modification is cheaper than designing spacecraft that better support the unaltered human physiology,

Starjack are designed for stellar living, thus are able withstand the conditions of deep space. Their reflective pressure-adaptive skin provides insulation against extreme temperatures and allows them to survive brief exposure to hard vacuum. These adaptations make them invaluable for spacewalk repairs and emergency decompression scenarios. Most starjack spend their lives beyond planetary gravity, leading to lower muscle mass and reduced physical strength compared to baseline humans. However, their resilience in zero-gravity environments makes them essential for maintaining orbital platforms and working aboard long-haul vessels.<ref>[[Starjack]] [[xenotype]] description</ref></onlyinclude>

== Occurrence ==
The table below describes the chance for a given pawn from each [[faction]] being a starjack. Note that this value does not account for chances in xenotype chance from [[ideoligion]]{{IdeologyIcon}} or from pawn kind, it only shows the base value before those factors.

== Analysis ==
{{Rewrite|section =1|reason=Not updated when genes changed}}
=== Usefulness ===

The Starjack's [[Awful plants]] gene makes them ironically one of the worst-suited [[xenotypes]] for survival in space.
* A staggering -8 to plants and loss of all passion makes it extremely difficult to maintain a skill level which is not frequently hindered by botched harvests and sharply decreased [[Plant Harvest Yield]].
* Since there are no animals to hunt in space, this is compounded by the fact they also have the [[Awful animals]] gene, the other skill useful in food generation in space.
* In the early-game, when there are no or few [[gravcore]]s available to build [[gravcore power cell]]s, limited options exist for a space-faring colony given how many of the other power generators require a terrestrial environment in some capacity to run sustainably. A popular choice is to rely on [[chemfuel powered generator]]s powered by [[rice]] grown in [[hydroponics basin]]s using a [[sun lamp]].
* A pawn with low skill in plants will take more basins to self-power the system. This leaves less for food and wastes precious gravship space and colonist work; and could even render this strategy futile by decreasing the efficiency below the point where it is no longer sufficiently power-positive to turn rice into chemfuel to burn in generators to be useful as a power source.

Starjacks are not necessarily better at combat or work in space than other pawns.
* The Starjack's [[Vacuum resistant]] gene is less impactful than one might expect. While it does allow the Starjack to reach 100% vacuum resistance with only a helmet, avoiding the heavy speed penalty of wearing a [[vacsuit]], which theoretically makes Starjacks excellent at working and [[kiting]] enemies in space; clothing with a significant [[Insulation - Cold]] offset is required to prevent hypothermia in space, even with [[Cold tolerant]].
* Hypothermia decreases the utility of not wearing a [[vacsuit]] to do work outside of the confines of the gravship, as this is likely to lead to unconsciousness, frostbite, and death.
* Hypothermia risk also limits the potential combat effectiveness of this gene for kiting enemies in space. By the time such insulating clothing can be fabricated, enemies will likely start being equipped with [[marine armor]], which has a significantly lower speed penalty, lowering the comparative speed bonus for not having to wear armor.
* While [[Great construction]] is generally an incredibly useful gene, it is comparatively less useful in space than on the surface due to gravship components not having minimum construction requirements, compared to surface-only buildings such as the [[geothermal generator]] which has a minimum construction skill of 8.

Their combat utility is further decreased by the close-quarters nature of space combat.
* Space maps have a smaller maximum area of the maps and because the environment often consists of close-quarters of space stations, ruined buildings, or the gravship interior, which is less conducive to hit-and-run tactics.
* This makes any benefit they might gain from increased kiting ability is notably less effective.
* Their [[Poor melee]] and [[Weak melee damage]] genes are potentially more detrimental in for combat in space than they would be for combat on the surface, as the tighter environments make [[melee]] combat more likely, but not unavoidable.

They have some redeeming features that could make them useful, especially part of a colony of other xenotypes.
* [[Great construction]] is a very useful gene that is only found endogenously on the Starjack.
* While having an entire colony of pawns terrible at plants makes survival in space incredibly difficult, a pawn of a different xenotype can easily make up for this weakness.
* [[Indoor dweller]] is a gene that synergizes well with [[gravship]] travel, whether on space or surface maps.
* Although the Starjack's temperature resistance genes are generally insufficient to allow for spacewalking without a full [[vacsuit]], they are marginally useful in keeping the colonist alive in the event that the gravship's climate control is insufficient to fully handle the extreme cold of space. Alternatively, they help make the Starjack more survivable in the extreme climates one will encounter looking for [[gravcore]]s on the surface, allowing for less temperature-resistant pawns to take priority in being assigned more temperature-protective clothing.

=== Gene extraction ===

Remember that [[xenogerm]]s replace '''all''' xenogenes. If you implant a xenogerm into a starjack, all of their genes will be replaced. This also applies to certain other xenotypes. Don't install unstoppable onto a [[genie]] as part of an elaborate joke, unless you ''want'' to erase their other genes (or are prepared to replace them).

Starjacks are a great source of genes. They are the only xenotype with [[great construction]] gene. They are also a source of [[awful plants]], otherwise obtainable only from rare Highmates and Hussars. They also have two other awful genes, which while more common (with default faction settings) are still excellent to have. [[Poor melee]] is the only negative melee skill gene that spawns on default xenogerms, and pairs well with [[weak melee damage]]. While temperature, vacuum and indoors genes are generally less useful, Starjacks still have a relatively low amount of rarely used genes and any extraction has odds to immediately be useful to any colony or gravship.

Zack: Changed Starjack metabolic efficiency to be ±0

{{Biotech}}
'''Xenotypes''', also known as '''xenohumans''', refer to the various subspecies of [[human]]. They have a different set of [[gene]]s, whether by adaptation or gene editing. There are 11 xenotypes found in each world by default, but you can add your own types during colonist selection or in-game genetic modification. All xenotypes drop [[human meat]] and [[human leather]], no matter how foreign they may be.

== Customization ==
{{For|full list of genes|Genes}}
Fully custom xenotypes can be created in the colonist selection screen. Any amount of [[gene]]s can be added, so long as [[File:Metabolism.png|20px|Metabolism]] metabolic efficiency is at least -5, and if genes don't conflict.

There are 2 options available in this screen:
* Ignore restrictions: If checked on, this gives access to the [[Genes#Archite|Archite]] genes, and enables conflicting gene combinations (such as Slow Runner and Fast Runner).
* Genes are heritable: If checked on, then these genes will be passed on to the xenotype's [[children]].

Player created xenotypes will appear throughout the game if a starting colonist is of that xenotype, or if an [[ideoligion]] refers to that xenotype.

== Ingame creation ==
{{Main|Genetics}}
Xenotypes can be created during a game within a [[gene assembler]], and delievered via a [[xenogerm]]. You are limited by the [[genepack]]s you found or have [[gene extractor|extracted]]. The complexity of your xenotype is also limited by the [[gene processor]]s you have available.

All xenotypes from a xenogerm are considered ''xenogenes'', not ''germline'' genes, so they will not be passed onto offspring. The xenogerm item is easily replicable, however, once you have all the infastructure set up.

Genes

Zack: Removed the stub notice about the odyssey additions at the top of the page

{{Biotech}}
{{Recode|reason=Thought templates}}
{{See also|altphrase=This page is a list of genes. For a full explanation of the gene system see|Genetics}}
'''Genes''' are a system for adding capabilities to [[human]] pawns. They can be obtained from character creation or implanted via [[xenogerm]].

Metabolic efficiency, denoted by the [[File:Metabolism.png|20px|Metabolism]] symbol, controls the rate at which pawns get [[Saturation|hungry]]. Harmful genes will increase their metabolic efficiency, getting hungry slower, and thus consuming less food overall. Meanwhile helpful genes reduce metabolic efficiency, getting hungry faster, and thus consuming more food. 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 prevents you from giving pawns less than -5 metabolic efficiency; it doesn't stop you from exceeding 5, but hunger rate will not go below 50%.

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).

The type of gene is shown both by its position in the gene tab of the pawn and its background:
* [[File:GeneBackground Endogene.png|32px]] Germline Genes
* [[File:GeneBackground_Xenogene.png|32px]] Xenogenes
* [[File:GeneBackground ArchiteGene.png|32px]] Archite genes

== 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).

----
* If a pawn would've died, but the brain, head, or neck is not directly destroyed, they enter into either a regenerative coma or involuntary deathrest.
** Pawns without the Deathrest gene enter a regenerative coma. After all fatal conditions are removed, the regenerative coma lasts for 7 more days. [[Hemogen]] is unaffected.
** Pawns with the Deathrest gene enter involuntary [[deathrest]] and lose all [[Hemogen]]. After fatal conditions are removed, the usual deathrest mechanics take place.
** Does not regenerate limbs or organs, except for the torso.
** Entering the regeneration coma or involuntary deathrest will cause the pawn to lose 3% to 6% of total [[skill]] XP in a random skill.

=== 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.

== 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/1.4.3541|1.4.3541]] - Fix: Victims of bloodfeeder bites can gain hemogen from the interaction.
* [[Version/1.4.3542|1.4.3542]] - Fix: Coagulate can still be queued if hemogen is below casting cost.
* [[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.

** 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.

{{See also|altphrase=This page is a list of genes. For a full explanation of the gene system see|Genetics}}
'''Genes''' are a system for adding capabilities to [[human]] pawns. They can be obtained from character creation or implanted via [[xenogerm]].

Metabolic efficiency, denoted by the [[File:Metabolism.png|20px|Metabolism]] symbol, controls the rate at which pawns get [[Saturation|hungry]]. Harmful genes will increase their metabolic efficiency, getting hungry slower, and thus consuming less food overall. Meanwhile helpful genes reduce metabolic efficiency, getting hungry faster, and thus consuming more food. 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 prevents you from giving pawns less than -5 metabolic efficiency; it doesn't stop you from exceeding 5, but hunger rate will not go below 50%.

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).

The type of gene is shown both by its position in the gene tab of the pawn and its background:
* [[File:GeneBackground Endogene.png|32px]] Germline Genes
* [[File:GeneBackground_Xenogene.png|32px]] Xenogenes
* [[File:GeneBackground ArchiteGene.png|32px]] Archite genes

== 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).

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.

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:

** 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.

** 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.

{{Recode|reason=Thought templates}}
{{Stub|reason=Missing low gravity adapted. Odyssey additions not in version history}}
{{See also|altphrase=This page is a list of genes. For a full explanation of the gene system see|Genetics}}
'''Genes''' are a system for adding capabilities to [[human]] pawns. They can be obtained from character creation or implanted via [[xenogerm]].

Metabolic efficiency, denoted by the [[File:Metabolism.png|20px|Metabolism]] symbol, controls the rate at which pawns get [[Saturation|hungry]]. Harmful genes will increase their metabolic efficiency, getting hungry slower, and thus consuming less food overall. Meanwhile helpful genes reduce metabolic efficiency, getting hungry faster, and thus consuming more food. 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 prevents you from giving pawns less than -5 metabolic efficiency; it doesn't stop you from exceeding 5, but hunger rate will not go below 50%.

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).

The type of gene is shown both by its position in the gene tab of the pawn and its background:
* [[File:GeneBackground Endogene.png|32px]] Germline Genes
* [[File:GeneBackground_Xenogene.png|32px]] Xenogenes
* [[File:GeneBackground ArchiteGene.png|32px]] Archite genes

== 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).

=== 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.

== 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/1.4.3541|1.4.3541]] - Fix: Victims of bloodfeeder bites can gain hemogen from the interaction.
* [[Version/1.4.3542|1.4.3542]] - Fix: Coagulate can still be queued if hemogen is below casting cost.
* [[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}}.

[[#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.

** [[#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]] and [[#Webbed phalanges|webbed phalanges]]. 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]] gene suppress the normal [[vacuum resistant]] gene, removing its metabolic impact.
