gene assembler
A workbench for creating implantable xenogerms from genepacks stored in nearby gene banks. Genepacks are not consumed in this process and can be reused.

The gene assembler assembles one or more xenogenes into an implantable xenogerm.
Acquisition
Gene banks can be constructed once the Xenogenetics research project has been completed. They require 200 Steel, 4 Components, 12,000 ticks (3.33 mins) of work, and a Construction skill of 4.
Summary
The gene assembler must be connected to nearby gene banks, which must contain genepacks. The gene assembler can access the genes in these stored genepacks, and reassemble them into an implantable xenogerm.
Using the gene assembler, you can combine your genepacks for your own desired custom xenotype. Any type and number of gene can be added, as long as no genes conflict, and as long as you do not exceed the maximum genetic complexity. By default, the assembler's genetic complexity is 6. The maximum complexity is raised by 2 for each gene processor that is currently connected and active. Up to 100 processors can be connected[Verify].
Once you are done customizing your xenotype, a researcher will begin processing the xenogerm. The process takes a few hours, depending on the xenogenes selected[Check]. When finished, a completed xenogerm will be dropped onto the ground nearby. This process does not require any resources.
