Hope it helps anyone!

RIP mod, the configurablity was nice.

You know, at first I was thinking that this mod would be too powerful, but I gave it some thought. If I'm gonna spend 7-13 years raising a child until its useful, I feel like they should be pretty strong considering I can just down and recruit a good enough pawn and train them to be better at something in those years.
Very cool mod!

'Better Gene Inheritance' is a good replacement.

Without this mod all my colonies are dying.

any similar mods i can use?

question is this mod not needed anymore?
or maybe was it abandoned or plans to update?

pls 1.5

nvm the last update was in 2022 :skull:

is the author still updating this?

Update for 1.5 please?

1,5?

this would benefit with a patch to VE highmates - there is a gene there that is recessive and should allow entire genome to be inherited, but it conflicts with this mod

Hi, a bit confused about the note on archite gene inheritance. Is the stated formula the one used in vanilla, or the one used in the mod?

And which number does the multiplier in mod options change? I had assumed the "0.5" in the notes, but it's 1.0 in mod options by default.

@PaprikaRobin
LMAO

I would like to know if this mod works in multiplayer as well! I love genetics and inheritance, I am positively obsessed with it. TvT

does it work in multiplayer?

Please change the god awful mod picture

That shit jumpscared me

This is only true for genes of the same type of course, xenogerms always dominate over germline genes.

@ScoSteSal afaik it's entirely possible in vanilla for pawns to have conflicting genes, and many pawns have multiple eg. skin colours. As I understand the priority for which gene is active will be that the negative trait dominates. If the traits are of equal badness (such as cosmetics which are all neutral) it will be random.

is there anyway to remove these xenogenes since they get turned into germline genes?

@Jdalt40 both of the genes were endo-genes in the child.
I understand that a xenogene can overwrite a mutually-exclusive endogene in one particular pawn when a xenogerm is implanted in that pawn.
However, I didn't think vanilla would ever produce a child which, say, had both fast wound healing and slow wound healing when you paired a Dirtmole and a Ytakkin.

ScotSteSal, this is vanilla, genes will be inherited regardless of exclusivity, but only one will be active. Also xenogenes override endogenes so the xenogene will be active

I've noticed some weird behavior, like someone inheriting Super-fast wound healing from one parent (a sanguophage iirc) and slow wound healing from the other parent (iirc ytakkin). Because those are mutually exclusive, it shouldn't be possible for the embryo to have both genes, but it does. I don't think I have any other mods related to gene inheritance (besides your other mod which relaxes metabolism constraints during inheritance).

In particular, I think the scenario was that Super-fast wound healing was a xeno-gene from one parent while slow wound healing was an endogene from the other parent

Could you please check whether your code for xeno-gene inheritance already has logic to prevent that kind of problem, and add it if it isn't yet there?

I'm having an issue where I have a child with, for example: human jaw (which is bolded, showing it's inherited) and gaunt head. The gaunt head is greyed out, and says it's overridden by human jaw, but the pawn has a gaunt head nonetheless. This is the only mod I have that changes genetic inheritance, so I was wondering if anyone else was having this problem? It's quite possible there's some interplay between mods but figured it was worth asking.

Incompatible with Keeping the Best Jeans In The Family.

Might I suggest adding a function: Injecting a xenogene directly into a fertilized ovum (that was removed for IVF) turns that xenogene into an endogene in the resulting child. My reasoning here is based off Dr.Tyrell's famous scene in Blade Runner about altering DNA in an established lifeform, which implies that doing so in an fresh embryo is the right way to go about genetic modification. Since the DNA of an embryo is still "open to suggestion" as it were, deeper changes become possible.

A different mod just gave someone deathrest....when they don't have the required "Hemogenic" - so....if you aren't checking requirements for new genes, you might do that

@BOT Frank I found that another mod called "keeping the jeans in family" stopped this from working right

it'd be nice if you could prescribe a load order for those looking to use both of your genome mods (consistent inheritance and offspring)

Can we get an option to adjust the chance to inherit Archite genes? And can inheritance also be broken down by parent? so have a separate slider for the mother and the father?

That's how I solved the metabolism issue

"Pregnancy failed: combined genes exceeded metabolism limits."
:(

Do offsprings inherit archite genes as well?

Idk I tried a couple times with changing settings but no luck

can you make a option so the children only inherit from one parent

idk works for me. But that's interesting.I didn't know the vampires could breed.

Yeah my two sangophages aren't making a non base liner child, this mods broken

Is this even working for vampires?

Thanks for making this mod, installed mid playthrough and it worked perfectly !

Probably a mod conflict @Fishbone . My xeno inheritance is set to 100 and all of my babies inherit both parents' xenogenes.

I've had two children now, the parents being custom xenotypes (Xeno A and B for child 1, and Xeno A and C for child 2.) Neither of the children have any of the xenogerms, even though I've set the genes as inheritable. Have I done something wrong? Is there possibly a mod conflict?

THANK YOU. I was malding because I made a custom xenotype, got excited that the baby got the mother's custom xenotype... and then had zero of her special features. Much appreciated!

I agree with @Hallanvaara. My sanghophage/baseliner hybrid baby is just a regular baseliner

I don't think xenogenes are inherited even in latest patch without mod

does the base game not have this now?

Thank you for the update <3

Oh yea my bad, i missread the last patchnote

Updated for the latest patch now! Please tell me if there are any issues!
