This article relates to content added by Biotech (DLC). Please note that it will not be present without the DLC enabled.
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 Metabolism symbol, controls the rate at which pawns get 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 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 Complexity symbol, affects how many gene processors 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).[Detail needed]

The type of gene is shown both by its position in the gene tab of the pawn and its background:

    Name Description Metabolism Complexity Archite capsules Baseliner.png Exclude
    Scarless
    Gene TotalHealing.png     		Carriers of this gene have a special type of regenerator cell which can heal old wounds and chronic illnesses like bad back.
    		0 4 1 Sanguophage.png -
    Gene implanter
    Gene XenogermReimplanter.png     		Carriers of this gene can implant a copy of their xenogerm into another person through a somewhat gross-looking injector organ. Their own genetic material will then regrow very slowly. If they implant while their genes are regrowing, they will die.
    • Adds ability: Gene XenogermReimplanter.png Implant Genes
    Implant this person's xenogenes into a willing subject using a special injector organ. If this person's genes are currently regrowing, they will implant their xenogerm and die in the process. When implanted, a xenogerm will overwrite the target's xenogenes. Germline genes will be unaffected.
    • Passes on a copy of all xenogenes to a target. Causes genes to regrow for 2 years afterwards.
    • Using this ability while genes are regrowing kills the casting pawn.
      • If using this ability is lethal, then the caster will lose all of their xenogenes upon death.
    		 0 3 1 Sanguophage.png -
    Perfect immunity
    Gene PerfectImmunity.png     		Carriers of this gene have archite-enhanced immune systems which intelligently destroy invaders. They are totally immune to most normal illnesses.
    		0 3 1 Sanguophage.png Immunity
    Non-senescent
    Gene NonSenescent.png     		Carriers of this gene do not go through senescence in the normal way. They never get chronic age-related diseases like cancer, bad back, cataracts, or dementia.
    		0 3 1 Sanguophage.png -
    Ageless
    Gene Ageless.png     		Carriers of this gene have archites in the bloodstream which continuously reverse the process of aging. Starting at the age of 13, carriers begin to biologically age slower. By 18, the aging process stops completely.
    • Aging ×1 at age 13. Rate linearly slows as the pawn gets older.
    • Aging ×0 at age 18.5.
    		 0 3 1 Sanguophage.png -
    Deathless
    Gene Deathless.png     		Carriers of this gene have archites in the blood which will sustain their life processes no matter what. As long as the brain remains intact, a carrier of this gene will never die.
    • If a pawn would've died, but the brain, head, or neck is not directly destroyed, they enter into a regenerative coma / involuntary deathrest.
      • Pawns without the Deathrest gene enter regenerative coma. After fatal conditions are removed, regenerative coma lasts 7 days.
      • Pawns with the Deathrest gene enter involuntary deathrest and lose all Hemogen. After lethality is removed, the usual deathrest mechanics take place.
      • Does not regenerate limbs or organs, except for the torso.
      • Entering the regeneration coma / involuntary deathrest will cause the pawn to lose 3% to 6% of total skill XP in a random skill.
    • Market value of genepacks containing this gene: ×200% (also multiplied by the usual ×400% for 1 Archite capsule)

    Acid spray
    Gene AcidSpray.png     		Carriers grow glands in the neck that generate and store a sticky acid substance, along with acid-tolerant tissues in the mouth. They can spew this acid over an area, where it will stick to enemies and burn them.
    • Adds ability: AcidSpray.png Acid spray
    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.
    • Spits a fast-moving acid projectile in a 3x3 area around the target. This does 30 damage to buildings and items, and creates a harmless "spent acid" filth on each affected tile. Creatures in the affected area suffer a 30 damage burn (possibly spread over multiple body parts), but suffer no persistent damage over time. The attack has an AP of 80%[Armor type?] and a stopping power of 1.

    Gene Bloodfeeder.png     		Carriers of this gene have small retractable fangs and an organ on the roof of the mouth which can extract hemogen from fresh warm blood. They can bite an unresisting person, suck the blood, and gain hemogen directly.
    • Adds ability: Gene Bloodfeeder.png Bloodfeed
    Bite the target and extract hemogen directly from their blood. The target will lose blood and will be horrified by the interaction, but will be otherwise unharmed. A fast-acting coagulant will seal the wound to prevent bleeding. Can only target non-hemogenic humans. Hemogen gain is affected by the target’s body size.
    • Feed on a pawn to gain up to +20 Hemogen, which scales with target body size, but not the user's.
      • Target will gain +45% blood loss and the −5 Fed on moodlet (5 days, doesn't stack, negated by masochist trait and Bloodfeeders precept.Content added by the Ideology DLC). Also gains a bloodfeeder mark on the neck (+1% pain).
      • If the target does not have enough blood, hemogen gain will be reduced accordingly.[Detail]
      • Bloodfeeder must have a non-0% Eating capacity.
    • Target: Single human target. Target must not have the Bloodfeeder gene. Must be downed or a colonist, slave,Content added by the Ideology DLC or prisoner not on a mental break.
      • A warning will be given if it would kill the target or render them unconscious, but it will not account for continuing blood loss.
    • Interaction with Bloodfeeders precept.Content added by the Ideology DLC
      • Bloodfeeders: Revered - Believers have a higher opinion towards bloodfeeders, negates moodlet for being fed on, mood bonus when bloodfeeders are in the colony or are the Leader,Content added by the Ideology DLC and mood penalty when they die.
      • Bloodfeeders: Reviled. - Believers have a lower opinion towards bloodfeeders, mood penalty when bloodfeeders are in the colony or when they are bloodfeeder, and mood bonus when they die.

If they are physically separated, they will be disturbed by the distance. If one dies, the other's mind will be badly disrupted.
    • Romance attempts always succeed
    • Gains psychic bond with first attempted romance or lovin'
    • 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.

    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. Impid.pngImpids have three), and one will be chosen.

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

    Resurrect
    Gene Resurrect.png     		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: Resurrect gene ability.png 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: 2 ticks (0.03 secs)

    • 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.

      • 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:
      • <Drug> addict-resist genes renamed to <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 <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 and Alcohol dependency metabolism gain reduced from +4 to +3.
      • Fix: Remove reference to damage over time in acid spray ability description. [...] stick to targets and burn them over time. to [...] stick to targets and burn them.
      • Furskin and beardless genes are now mutually exclusive.
      • Buffed furry tail minimum comfy temperature offset from −5 °C (−9 °F) to −10 °C (−18 °F).
      • When a 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.
    • 1.4.3557 - Slow study gene applies a ×50% factor to Global Learning Factor instead of a −50% offset.
    • 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.
    • 1.4.3613 - Fix: Reimplant ability not working with custom xenotypes.
    • 1.4.3641 - Fix: Inactive sterile gene affects fertility.
    • 1.4.3682 - Arresting dead calm pawns now never fails, to prevent them going berserk.
    • 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
