Topic on Talk:Genes

I am new to editing the wiki and trying to learn formatting with this post, sorry if things are wonky.

Mechanics

Additive Value

Some genes have an additive modifier to market value

• Very Attractive: Market Value +700
• Attractive: +350
• Unattractive: −350
• Very Unattractive: −700

Skill Genes

Skill genes modify value through the provided skill offset. A pawn with shooting skill 10 would gain the same value by implanting the great shooting gene as would be gained by training shooting skill from 10 to 18.

Positive Value Genes

• Tested every gene for effect on market value in dev mode.
• Used baseliner pawn with 5 in all skills, no health issues, and no traits.

Gene	Value
None	1625
very attractive	2325
attractive	1975
great skill	1790
strong skill	1710

Negative Value Genes

Gene	Value
None	1625
poor skill	1540
awful skill	1515
trotter hands	1500
violence disabled	1410
extra pain	1360
unattractive	1275
very unattractive	925

Notes

• While extra pain reduces market value, reduced pain has no effect.

• Fire breath, acid spew, speed genes, immunity genes, and some other genes not listed above currently have market value modifiers in the wiki. I did not find any change when testing.

Crabpeople (talk)

You're talking about changes to the market value of characters with the genes, by directly or indirectly changing the character quality. I think the ones you removed are changes to the market value of genepacks containing the genes.

Both should be documented on the wiki somewhere. They could be here and/or on the Character Quality and Genepack pages, if there were a character quality page. Which there should be, but the game doesn't tell you the factors and I can barely find any information about them, on the wiki or elsewhere.
