Mod «Superhero Genes - Base» for Rimworld (v1.4)

Note about requirements: If, for whatever reason, you cannot or do not want to have one of the listed requirements, this mod will still work. This mod was designed in a way that made it so genes related to the requirements will not be added if the mod is disabled. If you cannot find a power that should be on the list please make sure all listed mods are enabled.

Ever wanted your pawns to be able to lift extreme weights? Want them to be able to research things at frankly ridiculous speeds? This mod allows you to give pawns some of the more mundane super powers, like super strength and super speed. Much like in superhero movies, there is little balance in what they can do, but you didn't come here for common sense. In this base, there are 3 categories of powers, and 6 powers within each one, each power influencing a different aspect of the pawn, along with a straggler or two as a bonus. All superhero genes, from this mod or any that may or may not be made after this, have a prerequisite superhero gene that provides boosts to numerous aspects of the pawn at no cost.

The three categories are Super, Unsuper, and AntiSuper. The supers increase stats even further beyond the what the base gene provides, while unsuper genes negate the base bonus for that type. Antisuper genes provide another penalty in addition to the unsuper version, and in exchange they increase metabolic efficiency by a decent chunk.

For those who are wondering, yes, I have added a CE compatibility patch.

Requires:

• Alpha Genes
• Biotech Gene: Laser-Eyes
• Vanilla Expanded Framework

Superhero Genes - Villain Factions adds xenotypes that use these genes and a contantly hostile faction. It's separate from this one so that people don't have a bunch of extra xenotypes filling their list, or a hostile faction of strong opponents disrupting their colony constantly. I'm also thinking of making an additional mod that restricts superhero genes more by restricting the types of normal genes that can be taken with the superhero gene more, but that is going to be delayed based on whatever my work schedule says and how interested I am in it at any given moment.

Superhero Genes - Supers Everywhere gives all xenotypes the superhero gene, and replaces many negative genes with anti-super genes. The end result is that all of the negative aspects of each xenotype become more significant, and if you're using Villains and Stereotypes it makes it easier to find pawns that can fight Villains one on one.

Want to make the super genes feel a little more balanced? Superhero Genes - Activatable Super Genes moves many of the innate bonuses super genes provide into an activatable ability. When activated, the super will gain the full extent of that power for half an hour in exchange for multiplying the rate their body consumes nutrition by 1.75. This is kept separate because some people aren't here for balance, they just enjoy making godlike pawns.

If you're just want the base superhero gene cost to be the same as what all of the unsupers combined give you, Superhero Genes - Expensive Base sets the metabolic cost of the superhero gene to -8 and adds a new archetype called Dormant Super, which combines all of the unsuper genes into one gene.

For those who expect to have a superhero pawn alive for a REALLY long time, check out my Always Very Fertile mod. It removes the effects of fertility caused by old age.

For anyone who's tempted to actually make religions based on a group of supers, I made Increased Max Deities in Theist Relgions, which increases the max gods you can assign to a theistic religion from 4 to 20.
