Dubiously Balanced Archite Genes

Description
Adds archite versions of some biotech genes. Powerful, but expensive.
Also patches the perfect immunity gene to increase immunity gain rate to a fitting value.

I was a bit disappointed by how the archite genes existed in vanilla purely to be used by vampires, and the mods I found that added more archite genes either had some features I didn't like, were too bloated or just didn't scratch that "literally just normal genes but better and not costing any metabolism" itch.

Nearly all of these genes cost 1 archites (with the exception of melee damage, toughness and psy-sensitivity) and 3 complexity. I feel that's generally balanced with how rare archite genepacks and archites are in vanilla, you'll need mods to reliably get all of them on a pawn in less than several in-game years.

seems to be working perfectly fine on 1.6 after a quick test with no other mods, just needs a 1.6 tag put on it so it wouldnt throw a warning in the log

I like this mod. Could you please update to 1.6? Thanks!

Well, further testing shows that the -5 mood penalty from toxic fallout is indeed removed by Archite Tox Resistance. I don't know about acidic smog though. Mayhap both penalties are removed but mentioning that in the gene description felt unneccesary?

@TheBronzeWarrior, that's already been patched so that it's down to +10. Your comment about looking like an omniscient being still holds true, but at least it doesn't jack up their market value to such an insane degree that raids become unwinnable anymore! Plus, it's other function is to counter the negative effects of the Stoneskin Gland Implant on your pawn's appearance ;)

Very cool mod! As far as I can tell, there's only one archite gene left that may still need an improvement. Archite Tox resistance is mostly superior to it's normal Tox Immunity counterpart, but unlike said counterpart, it doesn't remove the -5 mood penalties from Toxic Fallout and Acidic Smog. If pawns are already immune to these things, they wouldn't think anything of them right? Mayhap one final patch is in order to round out this last rough edge? Aside from that, this mod is basically perfect!
