Genies have a clear role in your colony - Crafting and Intellectual - and not much else. In combat, genies take more damage and are easy to [[down]] as forced [[Wimp]]s. They are poor at other tasks, namely Plants, Animals, and Social. But, being good at those 2 aforementioned skills, genies can be useful for the entire game.

Great Crafting means that, if a baseliner would be at Crafting 12, a genie would be at Crafting 20. Plus, great crafting automatically gives a passion in the skill. And, because the skill is an offset, genies won't have the skill decay of a "natural" 20 pawn. Genies aren't innately better than a highly skilled pawn, but it is ''much'' easier for a genie to reach (and maintain) a very high skill level. Skill has a significant impact on [[quality]], which has a significant impact on item performance. High skill makes it easy to farm excellent (or higher) quality items. When combined with a source of [[inspired creativity]], or if they are a [[Roles#Production specialist|production specialist]],{{IdeologyIcon}} a skill 20 pawn will constantly pump out masterwork and legendary items.

And because the skill is an offset, genies won't have the skill decay of a "natural" 20 pawn. Skill, in turn, has a significant impact on [[quality]]. So while genies are bad at combat, they can support the rest of your colony with high quality gear.
  
−
So, while genies are bad at combat, they can outfit the rest of your colony with some great gear. Having 110% [[Manipulation]] and being good at Intellectual are nice bonuses. This makes one or two genies very worthwhile to recruit. Due to the dead calm gene and a lowered hunger rate, genies can also be good as [[prisoner]]s and a [[hemogen]] source.

With a source of [[inspired creativity]], or as a [[Roles#Production specialist|production specialist]],{{IdeologyIcon}} a crafting-focused pawn can constantly pump out Masterwork and Legendary items. A genie isn't naturally better than a high skill pawn, but it is much easier for a genie to reach and maintain a very high level of skill. Overall, having a genie or two can be highly worth it, even if they are a liability in combat.

* [[Genes#Dead calm|Dead calm]] - Dead calm prevents [[prison break]]s and [[berserk]], making it a great gene to install on any long-term [[prisoner]]s.

Remember that [[xenogerm]]s replace '''all''' xenogenes. If you implant a xenogerm into a genie, all of their genes will be replaced. This also applies to certain other xenotypes. Don't install dead calm onto a [[hussar]], unless you ''want'' to erase their other genes (or are prepared to replace them).
