Fantasy Genetics

i decided to try to make this mod for fun to see how the genetics system works and how i could change it. its a WIP, but i will take a break for a while after getting to this point (maybe I won't, who knows, I might hyperfixate). to see some potential outcomes for children, look at the screenshots Recommended for saves in a fantasy setting (you don't mind the possibility that regular human paras may carry recessive fantasy traits) How does it work? - adds unnatural colours to the gene pool (will add more swatches over time) - Unnatural skin is recessive and on a gradient scale, meaning that a pink and blue para could have a pink, blue or purple child. The gradient goes through a cycle: pink, purple, blue, green, yellow, red, orange. - there is also a misc colour gene tied to the gradient system that greys and multi coloured skin tone can appear under (i plan to separate this gene later) - A fantasy paras can have a child of any colour with a human para, as it is recessive and natural paras may carry recessive genes that can produce a different colour baby - you can see recessive genes by using the PrintGenome cheat, although it may not show all the information and does not always work well with any genetics mods right now - all hair and eye colours are recessive with the chance of any para with unnatural eyes/hair to carry the multi coloured eye/hair gene - also made ginger hair recessive rather than having it tied to brown hair Let me know if any issues occur!!! The genetics system is a little fragile right now, so sometimes the mods don't behave. Like, only 4 people are working on genetics mods right now, and we are learning as we go without an official dev guide lmao. I briefly tested this with aki and Satomi's mods (will link below) you may get some funky results if you use this in conjunction with other mods but it seemed to not produce a charlie. (did not test with blams mod as blams mod is producing charlies atm will test it later when its fixed) SPECIAL THANKS SATOMI: Her raving about her alien genetics mod inspired me to dive down the rabbit hole and try it myself. You can see her mod here https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3741731917 BLAMS: sharing their advice on Discord and writing their own fan guide for genetics modding were unbelievably helpful; their guide and mod are here. https://paralives.wiki.gg/wiki/Genetics_modding https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3734167717 AKI: also joining in on the conversation, sharing their own experience making their mod.
