(A lot of updates, updated all complexities that needed checking, verified if UV weakness is affected by sunlamp (it isnt), added very sleepy gene (was missing), updated descriptions for a lot to contain the info given when hovering over the gene (descibing what it does), isn't perfect though, im not the best at formatting (hyperlinks and highlights and stuff)) |

Genes are a system for adding capabilties to human pawns.
Metabolism, denoted by the symbol, is a measure of how much food a colonist needs to eat. Negative traits will increase their metabolism, meaning they need to eat less food, while positive traits will decrease their metabolism, meaning they need to eat more food. The metabolism counter caps at -5 (250% food intake) and 5 (50% food intake). You can have a metabolism higher than 5, but the food needed will not go below 50%. You can not have a metabolism below -5.
Complexity, denoted by the symbol, is a measure of how complex the genetic makeup of a colonist will be. It affects the amount of time needed to regrow the colonist's genes, if need be.
Archite
Name | Description | |||
---|---|---|---|---|
Gene implanter |
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.

Resistance and sensitivity
Name | Description | Prereq. | Exclude | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Partial antitoxic lungs |
Carriers of this gene are resistant to environmental toxins. They get less toxic buildup from tox gas, polluted terrain, and toxic fallout, but are still vulnerable to direct attacks with venom or injected poison. Additionally, they build up rot stink exposure slower.
|
−1 | 1 | ? | ? |
Total antitoxic lungs |
Carriers of this gene are immune to environmental toxins, but not from direct toxic attacks. They get no toxic buildup from tox gas, polluted terrain, or toxic fallout, and they are not bothered by acidic smog. They are still vulnerable to direct attacks like venom and injected poison. Additionally, they are immune to rot stink exposure.
|
−3 | 2 | ? | ? |
Fire resistant |
Carriers of this gene have special fast-acting sweat glands and heat-resistant skin. They only take 25% of the normal damage from fire. The chance of them catching on fire is also drastically reduced.
|
−2 | 1 | ? | FireDamage |
Tinderskin |
Carriers have dry, thin skin which burns easily from fire, and their immune systems react very poorly to this kind of threat. Damage from fire is multiplied by 4.
|
+2 | 1 | ? | FireDamage |
Pyrophobia |
Carriers of this gene have an intense fear of fire. When fires are close, there is a chance they will have a mental breakdown at any moment.
|
+4 | 1 | ? | ? |
Tox resistance |
Carriers of this gene are resistant to toxic buildup from any source. This includes pollution, toxic fallout, tox gas, and direct attacks with venom or injected poison. They'll gain half the amount of toxic buildup compared to others. Cellular filters in the lung and skin reduce the dose of toxins entering the bloodstream.
|
−2 | 1 | ? | ? |
Tox immunity |
Carriers of this gene are totally immune to toxic buildup from all sources including polluted terrain, toxic fallout, tox gas, and direct attacks with venom or injected poison. They are also not bothered by acidic smog. The carrier's biochemical pathways are modified to route around interference from nearly all known toxins. Along with enhancements to the kidneys and liver, this keeps carriers comfortable in even the most toxic of environments.

Mild UV sensitivity |
Carriers of this gene have biological compounds in their skin that react painfully to UV radiation. They are unusually sensitive to sunlight.

Notes
- If a pawn with Deathless gene and a Deadrest gene takes lethal damage, it will go into an involuntary Deadrest. Their hemogen reserves will also be emptied. This deadrest works like normal deadrest and can be interrupted early, though doing that while their injuries are still lethal will immediately start a new involuntary Deadrest.
- If a pawn with Deathless gene and without a Deadrest gene takes lethal damage, it will go into a regeneration coma. The coma will end in seven days, but will only tick down while their injuries are non-lethal. Their hemagen reserves will not change if they are Hemogenic.
- Genes that are restricted for specific xeno humans will cause a bug if its present at humans not belonging to said xeno races. (i.e: unable to draft)
