Gene Menu

This mod allows you to customize biostats of any gene with precise control - set custom values for metabolism, complexity, and archite costs, or make genes completely free! No more limitations to just "on/off" - now you have full numerical control over every gene's costs.

🎯 Key Features:

• Custom Value Input: Type any number directly into input fields for each gene stat
  
• Real-time Updates: Changes apply instantly as you type
  
• Quick Reset Options: Right-click any field to reset to original value
  
• Bulk Operations: Reset all genes or just visible ones with dedicated buttons
  
• Global Overrides: Force all genes to zero cost with global toggles
  
• Advanced Search: Filter genes by name or description
  
• Flexible Sorting: Sort by any column in ascending/descending order

🔧 How to Use:
1. Open Mod Settings → Gene Menu
2. Find the gene you want to modify in the list
3. Click on any number in the metabolism/complexity/archite columns
4. Type your desired value (supports negative numbers too!)
5. Changes apply immediately - no restart needed!

The mod is entirely translated using keyed localization. Every string is now editable in the localization file, and I would be grateful if you would create a translation for your language, even though the mod is small :)

• 1.0.0 - Initial release
  
• 1.0.1 - Added search tags.
  - This system allows you to search for genes using various tags.
  - As of now, there's only one tag - "#", which allows searching for genes using any text in their description.
  Example: "#combat" will find genes with "combat" in their description.
  Example: "strong #combat" will find genes with "strong" in their name and "combat" in their description.
  - Searchbar is still able to search for genes by their name, it's done by not using "#" at the start of the search term.
  
• 1.0.2 - Added gene list sorting.
  - Now, you can sort the gene list by clicking on the column headers. It can be sorted in ascending and descending order by gene names, metabolism, complexity and archite capsules price.
  
• 1.03 - Updated for 1.6.
  
• 1.1 - Major UI overhaul with custom value input system.
  - Direct Input Fields: Click and type values directly instead of using buttons
  - Custom Values: Set any number you want for metabolism, complexity, and archite costs

  - Right-Click Reset: Instantly restore original values with right-click
  - Improved Reset System: Better bulk reset functionality with immediate visual feedback
