Vanilla Android Genes Unofficially Expanded

Description
VAGUE (Vanilla Android Genes Unofficially Expanded)
This mod adds more subroutines to the Vanilla Races Expanded androids!

Many of these mods mimic existing Biotech genes, however some are unique!




Contents
  • Movement Speed: Added 2 genes that increase movespeed by 0.2c/s and 0.4c/s, identical to vanilla movespeed genes.

  • Carry Capacity: Added 2 genes that increase carrying capacity by 15kg and 30kg (This does NOT increase caravan capacity, only on-map carrying capacity. These genes don't do much unless you're running a mod that increases stack size.)

  • Size: Added 2 genes that "change" the androids size. This doesn't actually modify the bodySize stat since that stat has a LOT of effects that I didn't want to change. Instead, they're custom buffs.

  • Damage Taken: Added genes that increase or decrease damage taken by 50%, identical to Delicate and Robust vanilla genes.

  • Mood: Added 5 genes related to mood. None of these genes can be used with Anti-Awakening protocols. 3 of these genes are identical to vanilla genes (Pessimist, Optimist, and Sanguine). Depressive has been changed to guarantee an android becomes a Psychopath upon awakening, but will also always go berserk when they awaken. The final mood gene gives +999 mood, but removes itself when the android awakens. This guarantees the android awakens positively and as soon as possible.

  • Infravision: Identical to the Darkvision gene.

  • Napalm Emitters: Identical to Fire Spray gene.

  • Neutro-Coagulation: Allows androids to slowly coagulate their neutro-leaks. Every 10 seconds an android will automatically tend the largest neutro-leak source that is older than 15 seconds, this does NOT allow androids to passively heal, it only prevents further 'bleeding' (Very similar to the superclotting gene, slightly weaker and more expensive though, since Neutroamine is more valuable than blood)

anyway to add more gene points in android creator? (Dev mode seems not working)

@Eagle Kinda. It would be easy enough to trigger the awakening on spawn (mind you doing so in a way that doesn't tank performance might be a little tougher), but since awakening has 2 types (Inspiration and Berserk), You would either need 2 different subroutines, or you'd need to choose one of the types to be the one that always happens.

The alternative is to make a gene that changes the 50/50 chance of awakening every hour to a 100% chance, and also reduce the required mood to trigger either awakening, making it easier to positively awaken, but also easier to accidentally negatively awaken.

Is a "Guaranteed awakening" subroutine possible where the android would have the awakening mental break as soon as they're finished being built?

@IronVodka you might want to check out my latest addition to the VAGUE modset then! Links in the description.

Next project will be expanding this mod to include a couple more genes that aren't as transformative as the archite genes were (I needed to rewrite the entire JobDriver for the behaviourist station in that mod, it was a mess.)

Instant subscribe, I always felt the VEA lacked customisation, If your taking suggestions can you add in a gender gene, maybe a skeleton/no skin gene for the Terminator look. Thanks mate
Every new mod I see thats good is always 1.5, it just won't stop.

The gene I added mimics the tough trait or the Robust gene (-50% incoming damage), but I could add a gene like 'Plasteel Plating' that increases armor.

Was also thinking of adding a gene like 'Fireproof Chassis' that increases fire armor and decreases flammability

@ Narlindir

Before writing this, I carefully studied all the genes presented in this mod. The mod contains a gene that reduces incoming damage, but it does not completely block it, like armor does. I suggested a gene that would give the carrier of the gene a percentage of the armor. An example of such a gene already exists in another mod - the Plasteel Leather gene from the Genes+ mod.

@Беккит have you read anything?
it literally adds a thing that mimics tough

It would be great to add a gene that enhances the android's armor.
