Description
Don't like the coldblooded gene? Wish saurids were good in the desert? This mod removes the coldblooded gene from Saurids.

I respect the design decisions made for saurids and I think conceptually coldblooded is a cool idea for a gene. However, some people don't like to micromanage temperature for them and just want cool looking dinosaur dudes. So I made this mod. Coldblooded is replaced with slowpoke, heat resistance, and cold weakness.

This makes them basically lizards, but it does mean they no longer have their enhanced metabolism. I plan to change their descriptions in game to reflect the changes made to their genes later, but right now it works fine.

Future plans:
Update descriptions to reflect gene changes.
Add saurids and other xenotypes to tribes, likely in a separate mod.

Only newly generated Saurids will be affected, so it does not have any effect on Saurid colonists midgame.

Permissions:
I don't care if you modify or update it. Its literally just a few lines of xml. Just wait till it doesn't work to post the mod with the same name.

Oh cool. Personally my issue with the cold blooded isn't having to manage temperatures, it's that the sensitivity on the max temp feels too extreme. Reptiles tend to thrive in the desert and Saurids can't tolerate desert climates very well. :(
