Can you please link Split genepack to your mod description. They are absolutely a fucking duo.

Updated mod with updated research item placements in the research menu for new DLC layouts.

This MOD creates the atmosphere of a real genetic engineer browsing and selecting in a sample library, which feels great!

Having done no formal testing, I added 1.6 to the tags and called it a day. If anyone runs into any bugs please let us know.

@Uncle Jack Hughes after 2 weeks of daily play with a heavy modlist, no errors from this one! I think you should be good to update the About.xml version number and let it ride.

Please let me know if there are any issues noted on 1.6, and I'll take a look.

Looks like it's still working in 1.6

So this version still have trader?

Thanks for the reply :D The mod in question is this one:

I don't know the creator personally, but from the FAQ it seems that he does not do the graphics side of things so maybe you guys could actually collaborate very well?

Nightfish: That sounds pretty cool, not something I'd be capable of doing though. The number of marks on top of the register and archive don't match up with the number of genepacks held, though I could change that if a lightup mod existed for this. If the person that made the light up mod wanted to do a collaboration I'd be willing to help with the graphics side.

Very useful mod! Is there any chance to make the lights on the structure correlate to how many genes are in it? I've seen a mod that does this for the vanilla gene banks and it's just so nice to see it fill up gradually.

He's just a useless troll, ignore him

Matthew: I've been play-testing the mod on a recent run, is something not working for you?

ya call this a fix? the Netherlands aren't sending their best

Sweet! This is one of my favorite mods for genes. Thanks Uncle Jack Hughes! :)

Alright, the mod is officially updated, everyone make sure to thank Uncle Jack Hughes.

The Dutchman I added the link to your fork into the description, if anyone else makes their own version I'll add them. Thank you guys for doing the heavy lifting.

Helixien you can use any part of this you want so long as you credit what parts you use.

Hey mate, would you mind if I partly integrate your mod into my ReSplice core, as you don't plan to maintain it?

Made a 1.5 fork with proper credits. Removed the trading assembly

PSA. this mod breaks trading in 1.5, dont use it

I didn't write the code for the dll that makes the trading possible, so all I've ever had is the file given to me by Uncle Jack. Presumably that part could be removed and maybe a call to it here and there edited and it would go back to functional, albeit without the ability to trade directly from the added machines.

The gene banks work fine in 1.5 that's just xml. But the ability for traders to view and buy genes directly from archives and registers, which is handled by the assembly, is what breaks trading.

@redundantusage unless I'm missing something here the github repo looks like it's just the same thing that's on Steam. There's no source code

To those asking, the github respository should be visible now, and is listed in the description. Hope one of you can get this working again.

still dont get how it breaks trading but oh well, gonna have to wait for 1.5

Does the issue still happen if you turn off the traders ability to check genebanks in the mod options?
I suspect it could be failing to find the genebank defines/buildings, as I have had the error occur when I had no genebanks built.

Is the source code for this around anywhere? I used to be a c# dev and would be happy to update this.

i spent a whole week trying to figure out which mod broke trading and now i just want to know how a gene bank mod broke trading

If you just want the gene banks and don't care about the bugged trading function, this still works
fine. Just go to "steamapps\workshop\content\294100\2883683444\Assemblies" and delete the file in that folder.

Wow it took me forever to find the mod fucking up my game.

This prevents my colonists from even initiating a trade with traders. Not sure if its only traders carrying genes or not, I haven't tested it that extensively. Definitely game breaking for me currently so I'll wait for an update to 1.5.

Also, It wasn't throwing any errors that I could find. Just stopped the trading window from opening.

The gene bank and processor buildings work fine but the gene trading function is what causes an error.

seems to work fine in 1.5 but ran an error checker and this was one of the ones that came up

redundantusage// :'(

Is there a Github repo somewhere?

-[BSM]-Raff - I won't say it's impossible, but Uncle Jack is the real one to answer since he did the code part. At this point I don't actually even remember how to mod Rimworld. :P

Any chance that this mod gets updated for 1.5?

No problem my friend. I may have found the issue. I have found that it seems the packs weren't despawning, rather stacking (which made it look like only one pack remained), which may have more to do with modding the gene banks at all or just the WVC mod itself. In any case I think I found a workaround. Thank you regardless!

hashbrownselfie - Haven't modded or played since posting this, I'd call it very unlikely that I'd know how to add compatibility for the other mod even if I wanted to. Sorry about that.

I had the same issue as @G-Fiti where a number of genepacks from WVC just disappear. Perhaps it is because of the packs being different in type? The pack types are mechpacks, ultrapacks (if I remember correctly), and I can't immediately think of the last one as it has been a bit. Definitely a very good mod, but seeing as someone else mentioned this issue is it possible if you could check if this is something fixable?

Oh hey, nice to see an update on this after so long. Cheers for the helping hand of the community, right?

Doesn't seem to play nice with WVC - Xenotypes and Genes, I saw some genepacks from that mod straight up getting deleted when loaded into a Gene register. :L

Hey @redundantusage

The mod is really mandatory at this point. Thanks for all of the work on this. I've (hopefully) remedied the issue regarding being unable to trade from the new gene banks. I've also added a config option to enable/disable the feature since I know some prefer to use these only as deep storage. It needs just a bit more to polish up, but if you're interested let me know and I can push the files to github or something. If it's easier to chat via steam messages, feel free to send me a FR on here.

Support of ALphaGenepacks would be highly appreciated. Nice mod nonetheless! :)

@Zed use FSF tweaks

Why does the Gene Archive require the Xenogenetics research to unlock in addition to the Gene Archive tech? The Gene Archive tech already depends on Xenogenetics. It makes using the Research Reinvented mod kind of difficult since I can't build prototype Gene Registers.

Is possible set own price and electricity consume in mod setting?
