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 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%.
Complexity, denoted by the 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:

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, Neanderthals cannot be thin, because they have all three of the other genes.
Hair
This section could use some more or updated images. You can help RimWorld Wiki by uploading images to make this section better. Note: Please upload images of hair-color genes.. |
These genes are defined in Core, not Biotech.
All of them have a "random brightness factor" of 0.12 unless otherwise specified.
Melanin
This section could use some more or updated images. You can help RimWorld Wiki by uploading images to make this section better. Note: Please upload images of melanin genes.. |
These natural skin colors are not available in the xenotype editor and cannot be extracted. Every person gets one of these as an endogene unless they already have a skin-color endogene (e.g. 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. Impids have three), and one will be chosen.
All of these genes have a "random brightness factor" of 0.18 unless otherwise specified.

Removed genes
This table contains genes that are no longer found as-is in the current game version. They may have been removed or migrated in an update, or cut during development before a release.
Name | Description | Removed | Reason | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Resurrect |
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.

Skill apathy | The carrier will have no passion in (skill). | 2 | 1 | - | Before Biotech DLC release | From an XML comment:
"Removed since the downsides are too easy and boring to avoid, and synergize with skill loss genes too much. If you already aren't using the skill it's too easy to just kill passion on it too. -Ty" |
Drug addict-sensitive | Carriers of this gene get addicted to (drug) very easily.
|
2 | 1 | - | Before Biotech DLC Release | From an XML comment:
"Removed since these just aren't very interesting, very narrow in application, and the downsides are too easy and boring to avoid. Just not much interaction or story here. -Ty" |
Notes
- 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)[Clarify]
- Certain genes will not be properly negated by other genes. For example, a drug dependency endogene, 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.
- 1.4.3555 -
- 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, no longer forces Depressive trait instead decreases mood by −10. Pessimist gene renamed to Unhappy, no longer forces Pessimist trait instead decreases mood by −5. Optimist gene renamed to Happy, no longer forces Optimist trait instead increases mood by +5. Sanguine gene renamed to Very happy, no longer forces Sanguine trait instead increases mood by +10.
- Slow runner no longer forces Slowpoke trait instead decreases move speed by −0.2 c/s. Fast runner no longer forces Fast walker trait instead increases move speed by +0.2 c/s. Very fast runner no longer forces Jogger trait instead increases move speed by +0.4 c/s.
- Slow learner renamed to Slow study, no longer forces Slow learner trait instead multiplies Global Learning Factor ×50%. Fast learner renamed to Quick study, no longer forces Fast learner trait instead increases Global Learning Factor +50%.
- Staggeringly ugly gene renamed to Very unattractive, no longer forces Staggeringly ugly trait instead decreases beauty by −2. Ugly gene renamed to Unattractive, no longer forces Ugly trait instead decreases beauty by −1. Pretty gene renamed to Attractive, no longer forces Pretty trait instead increase beauty by +1. Beautiful gene renamed to Very attractive, no longer forces Beautiful trait instead increase beauty by +2.
- <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.
- 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).
- 1.4.3563 - Fix: Pawns with "dead calm" gene can get into fights over botched conversion attempts.
