Once you create a xenotype, click the icon at the top of the gene editor menu. This locks the template to your local game files. Spawning Custom Xenotypes in the World
"Slow Learner" is a great way to get high-value genes for a combat-oriented pawn because combat proficiency is not determined by skills.
Engineered to survive in extreme biomes without relying heavily on temperature-regulating clothes.

Understanding how traits are passed on is vital for long-term colony planning:
To expand your gene library during gameplay, build a . Populating a colony with diverse custom genes allows you to harvest them, combine them into custom xenogerms at a Gene Assembler , and forcibly upgrade your existing baseline colonists into your engineered master race.
Creating custom xenotypes is not without its challenges. Several common mistakes can derail your genetic ambitions:
Build a to harvest genes from prisoners or willing colonists. Build a Gene Bank to store the collected gene packs.
By mastering the system, you can turn a standard, challenging playthrough into a tailored experience where your pawns are designed exactly for your colony’s goals. If you'd like, I can:
Efficiency ranges from -5 (225% hunger rate) to +5 (50% hunger rate).
: In the "Create characters" screen, click on the Xenotype name next to a colonist's background.
Your pawns consume 50% of the food a normal baseline human needs.
A genetic super-soldier designed to hold choke points and survive brutal raids.
Click the "Create Custom Xenotype" button in the character customization screen.
Every gene has a value, ranging from positive integers (which improve your pawn but lower efficiency) to negative integers (which hinder your pawn but raise efficiency).
Toxin-loving xenotypes who thrive in polluted environments. Their psychite dependency can be turned into an advantage with proper drug management, and they possess natural immunity to toxic buildup.
