Genepacks each contain between 1 and 4 [[genes]], as shown by the number of blue bars on the texture. They will constantly deteriorate at a rate of 5/day, even in storage, unless placed in a [[gene bank]]. While placed in a gene bank, their contained genes will become accessible for recombination in a connected [[gene assembler]]. You cannot alter the amount of genes in the genepack in any way.
Genepacks each contain between 1 and 4 [[genes]], as shown by the number of blue bars on the texture. They will constantly deteriorate at a rate of 5/day, even while on a shelf, unless placed in a [[gene bank]], in a pawn's inventory, on a caravan, in a transport pod, in a shuttle, or similar.  Genepacks have an auto load toggle displayed when selected. When off, the genepack will not be taken to a gene bank.
 
 
 
Players can sell genepacks currently inside gene banks. The bank must be within the beacon's radius for trading with ships.
 
Genepacks have a base market value of $100. This is then altered based on two additional factors: the number of genes inside the pack (more genes actually reduce the final market value), and the specific genes (some, like [[Genes#Special_abilities|Fire Spew]], are worth more money).<br>1 gene: x300%, 2 genes: x250%, 3 genes: x200%, 4 genes: x150%
 
 
 
While inside a gene bank, the genes contained in a genepack will be accessible for recombination through a connected [[gene assembler]]. The genepacks are '''not''' consumed in the process.<br>Choosing what genes to add to a [[xenogerm]] is done on a genepack-by-genepack basis: you can't add only some of the genes inside a given pack. This gives single-gene packs an advantage in flexibility.

Genepacks always contain xenogenes, even if they were extracted from somebody with exotic germline genes.

Without a [[gene bank]], genepacks will normally deteriorate. It takes 20 days{{Check Tag|Verify|Based on 5 hp/day and 100 base hp. Not actually tested in-game.}} for a genepack's health to fully deplete. Therefore, acquiring genes too soon before researching and constructing the necessary facilities can be problematic. Note that genepacks kept in the inventory of a caravan will also not deteriorate.

Since it is impossible to use or store genepacks without a [[gene bank]], they are useless to colonies without the necessary technology. However, it does take 20 days{{Check Tag|Verify|Based on 5 hp/day and 100 base hp. Not actually tested in-game.}} for a genepack's health to fully deplete, giving you some time to research and construct the necessary facilites.

* [[Version/1.4.3555|1.4.3555]] - Players can sell genepacks currently inside gene banks. The bank must be within the beacon's radius for trading with ships. Identical genepacks can stack in the trade dialog. Increased frequency of genepacks in [[quest]] rewards. Added an auto load toggle for genepacks. When off, the genepack will not be taken to a gene bank.
