For whatever reason, some genes including Angelic beauty, Alcohol / Ambrosia / Smokeleaf impervious still have a negative metabolic efficiency. Had this issue on both 1.5 and 1.6, got Alpha genes and Vanilla Genes Rebalanced active.

thanks you so much my pawns have 3500% hunger rate from the genes lol

@ksauthor Thank you! That is a good idea, I've considered the possibility of creating a set of genes that adjust hunger rates separate from the metabolic efficiency mechanic, but at the moment I have no plans to make that. If I do make such a mod down the road I'll be sure to link it in the description here.

LOVE this mod. I had been thinking about building one specific to my load order to patch the metabolism cost out of each gene; you saved me an incredible amount of time! If I could make a small suggestion: add a set of genes excluded from whatever operation you’re performing here that is just +- metabolism efficiency with a range mirroring the vanilla limits. I don’t like the metabolic cost system as a balancing mechanic, so this mod is GREAT, but it’d be great to still have a way to make specific xenotypes need more/less food.

yeah It works with literally everything, I have like 500+ mods in my modpack and ALL of the genes, even the ones that lower metabolic efficiency, are affected. Nevertheless have fun creating a race of literal gods, because what is stopping you now.

You sir are the GOAT. *Yoink*. Take my Points.

Ty for your mod good sir

A couple things just to address past and future comments:
1) Yes, this works with modded genes, but I haven't tested it with unique gene categories such as those added by the Vanilla Expanded Androids or Insectors for special genes that aren't available in the xenotype editor.
2) This mod is not balanced, it explicitly removes an aspect of the game's balance. This does, however, allow for some xenotypes to be more powerful than others without affecting hunger rates.

Would this work with modded genes?

2 op

I swear a mod like this existed before and I could never find it again. Nonetheless I appreciate you putting this (and our other) one out. TYSM! Now I can get to my genetic experimentation in peace

on one hand this feels really cheaty...
on the other I am going to create the world's strongest xenotype

omfg your the goat! every thing works!

very good mod

@Manaroth It's done! Link is in the description.

@Manaroth Absolutely, the concept looks to be about the same, I'll see if I can get it out later today.

@Paradox It does apply to modded genes, @aabb987 I use alpha genes and it does work with them for me.

i tried and it work on modded gene like Nephilim and Seraphim Xenotype
I havent try it on Alpha gene so i dont know it work on those or not

Does this apply automatically to modded genes as well, or is it patching specific ones?

would you be willing to make a 0% complexity mod as well so all the massive over powered peoples can has babys

good so my elf race aka better human will not suffer from starvation

Peak.
