[bug] xenotype reset on resurrect
So, the weird interaction with biotech just happened:
1) I've installed Nerotonin-4b serum into a pawn with genie xenotype.
2) I've put that pawn into gene extractor.
3) I've put that pawn into gene extractor the second time, dismissing the warning that it will die.
4) The pawn dies.
5) The pawn got resurrected.
6) I've checked that pawn health tab: Nerotonin-4b serum is gone.
7) I've checked that pawn xenotype: all xenogenes are gone and xenotype is reset to baseliner.

Is that intentional?

If I just kill this pawn, it resurrects with the correct xenotype.

Hey buddy, thanks for the clear report. As I've said before I don't get notifications of these little sub-threads from Steam which is a big issue. I've handed over your report to Taran and we'll sort it out.

How the resurrection works is that it heals all hediffs that are negative as the pawn resurrects. Why it removes xenogenes is beyond me, other than Ludeon coded xenogenes as ultimately "hediffs" somehow. I'll let him work on the issue, though when I'm asked if an issue is ever intentional, it'd be amiss for me to say that yes, we're intentionally trying to take over the world with our faulty features.

An update should come eventually, but I'll post a reply if I remember to when its sorted out.

Hello to update you this is what Taran said after opening up his resurrection code and investigating what's going on based on your report:

"that's not the implant wiping the xenogenes
it's the gene extractor itself"

I didn't know this myself and took the report seriously, I know hediffs can be funky but it's come from the lion's mouth that this is 100% a vanilla feature, not our mod's.

Well, that's weird.
Probably needs to be reported as a bug to Tynan/Ludeon, not sure.
