- If VFuE - Architect or ReBuild is loaded, renames Security door research to “Reinforced structures”. Armored door/wall, Wall armor and Reinforced glass/clerestory walls/autodoors alternatively or additionally require Reinforced structures as a research prerequisite.
- (other rebalance) Castle doors/gates (VFEM2): base HP 1600/1200/800 -> 600/450/300 (Grand granite castle door had 2720HP: replacing Security door with this turned containment strength of 9x9 wooden containment room with 4 platforms from 108 to 388) (still has 1020 HP: stronger than Security door but weaker than Large security door from ReBuild, with less opening speed)
- (other rebalance) Armored door (VFuE - Architect): base HP 450 -> 225 (Plasteel armored door had 1260 HP, which is more than 1.5x of Secutiry door with less ingredient cost.)

- Production amount of Jelly sacs gene scales with body size (req: B&S Framework) (same as B&S genes)
- Production amount of Chemfuel production, Devilstrand wool grower, Excess milk production and Rapid coat growth (Biotech Expansion Mammalia) scales with body size (req: B&S Framework) (same as B&S genes) (also buffed to around 100 market value per day*met discounting other effects with standard body size, in accordance with Jelly sacs gene in Alpha Genes)
- (gene rebalance) Chocolate production and Insect jelly production (B&S) are buffed to around 100 market value per day*met with standard body size, in accordance with Jelly sacs gene in Alpha Genes (Spider abdomen genes have around 0.4 met worth of productions in this context, and untouched.)

- (minor change) Cannon (VFE - Pirates) require Siege equipment (VFE - Security) as prerequisite even without VFEM2 now

- “Allow biocoded apparel” and “Allow tainted apparel” are unchecked in Mend apparel/armor recipe (VFE - Ancients) by default
- Humanlike races added by B&S are checked in Cremate corpse recipe by default
- Chocolate production gene (B&S) doesn’t change meattype if Alpha Genes is also loaded (to avoid overlap with Chocolate flesh gene) (still produces milk when butchered) (also met -2 -> -1 so that it will be the same when combined with Chocolate flesh gene)
- Revived Genetics supplier (VGE) - B&S gene tool compats (also made market values of B&S gene tools determined by ingredient/labor cost instead of being fixed to 1000)

[Other changes]
- Mortars research additionally require Siege equipment as prerequisite (req: VFuE - Security)
- Cannon (VFE - Pirates) additionally require Siege equipment as prerequisite (along with Matchlocks) (req: VFuE - Security, VFEM2)
- (techprint locks) With Semi Random Research, Basic hivetech (VFEI2) require studying insect jelly to start researching
- (other rebalance) Decorative plant pot (VFuE - Art): base beauty 50 -> 20 (the same as Pottery: had the same amount with Small sculpture with the half ingredient cost)

- Removed redundant research prerequisites from VFE - Tribals + ReGrowth: Core
- (research merging) Fixed an error with VFE - Tribals + ReGrowth: Core

- Removed redundant research prerequisites from VFE - Tribals + Erin's Japanese Furniture / More Ritual Seats / ReBuild / VPE - More Plants / VFEE / VFuE - Spacer

- Added research prerequisites to Subcore gestation vat and Uranium recycler (was empty)
- Removed redundant research prerequisites from VFE - Tribals + VFuE / Biotech

- (minor conflict fix)

- (gene rebalance) amplified or simplified some genes for B&S - VU xenotypes so that they stay in -5~5 total metabolic efficiency after gene rebalances

- (techprint locks) Climate adjuster, Sun blocker, Vanometric generator and Weather controller research projects (Reinforced Mechanoids 2) require studying the corresponding chip to start researching (similar to mechanitor chips: this doesn’t consume chips)
-(gene rebalance) Dryad queen (WVC): met +7 -> -1 (effectively -2 as it conflicts with Sterile)
