Mod «Better Gene Inheritance» for Rimworld (v1.4 - 1.5)

Unlike vanilla this mod will not give you a bunch of babies with 20% of their parents genes and a metabolism of 225%.

It will build up a list of semi-random genes to inherit, this list will also always include every shared by both parents. If the metabolism ends up too high it will remove genes with a metabolism cost; preferring those not shared by both parents.

The mod contains options for metabolism settings.

Archite inheritance; either letting you inherit all of them, or only inherit archite genes if said gene is shared by both parents.

The mod lets you inherit either only endogenes, or both endogenes and xenogenes.

By popular request there are now a few genes that modify how inheritance works.

If a parent has dominant genes only their genes will be passed out and vice versa for recessive genes. If both have dominant/recessive genes it is random as usual.

Compatible with the genes from Vanilla Races Expanded - Highmate

Similar to the above, except instead of passing on only one set of genes, the genes of a character with "Primary Genes" will be considered the primary parent, and unless metabolism is too high all valid genes will try to be passed on. Note that genes from the other parent can still overwrite genes from the primary parent.

Secondary Genes of course does the opposite.

The Binary Inheritance gene, if applied to BOTH parents will make it so an entire gene set from one parent will be picked at random. Suitable for xenotypes with castes or extreme sexual dimorphism.
