INSECTOID GENE PACK
This module of Biotech Expansion focuses on a set of highly specialized insectoid xenotypes, based on the vanilla insects we all know and love(?). Unlike most BTE xenotypes, these have a much stricter niche than normal. Universally reviling the light, the spliced insectoid xenotypes lock themselves deep into mountains and caves, feasting on insect jelly and relaxing in toxic pollution. These xenotypes are designed to be dangerous raiders as much as they are playable colonists, heavily favoring toxic weaponry with genetic abilities that are boosted so long as they have a healthy diet of insect jelly. Each xenotype has its own specific role in the hive!


Insect Jelly and Hunger
Many genetic abilities in BTE - Insectoid consume your pawn's nutrition as a resource for casting them. Make sure your jelly stockpiles are big enough for a big fight! Why exactly insect jelly? Because many abilities in Insectoid are buffed after eating insect jelly because of a single, foundational gene.

Factions


Originally posted by Splice Hive:
These people are insectoid hybrids who have, for one reason or another, created a nest in this area.

Splice hives are almost always hostile to other factions due to their extreme lifestyle differences.
These always have Tunneler/Darkness Memes if Ideology is enabled.

Furried imagin if the hive queen xenotype has a gene that lets her choose the genotype of her offspring maybe the other xenotypes could be updated to being sterile to make the queen extra important to colony growth

UPDATE:
New Xenotype: Splice-Locusts!
Splice-Locusts are a rare caste that specializes in operating spacecraft and surviving in space. They are fast and capable of a little of bit everything needed to make a living on a ship, but need expensive drugs to keep alive.

@Droider Well a locust would be better at planting than a scarab, they could have a faster movement speed and a short flying leap

there was a past reddit post with designs for exactly those two. queen i like but i dont get how a ocust xenotype could differ from the previous ones
Sikri 14 Jul @ 5:50am 
do you think you might add in locusts and the hive queen? i think they would be super cool
Droider 12 Jul @ 9:16am 
could it be possible to add an ideology precept that nullifes the mood penalty from splice transformation?

Hello, I used this mod in the 1.6 unstable version. During the battle with the insect nest, I noticed that a pawn with the immunity to poisoning gene was knocked down by the poisoning effect directly caused by the invader's stinger attack. Is this a bug? (This message was translated using a translator.)

Dumb question but does the jelly metabolisim work if the jelly is cooked into a meal?
