Editing Xenotypes


{{Biotech}}
'''Xenotypes''', also known as '''xenohumans''', refer to the various subspecies of [[human]]. They have a different set of [[gene]]s, whenever by adaptation or gene editing. There are 11 xenotypes found in each world by default, but you can add your own types during colonist selection or in-game genetic modification. All xenotypes drop [[human meat]] and [[human leather]], no matter how foreign they may be.

! [[File:Baseliner.png|32px]] Baseliners
| A naturally-evolved human with no major significant genetic modifications. 
| N/A || '''±0''' || 0 
|-
! [[File:Other.png|32px]] Hybrids
| A genetic mix of 2 established xenotypes. Note that not all xenotypes are passed down from birth; a Highmate and Genie couple would only produce Baseliners, for instance.

|-
! [[File:Dirtmole.png|32px]] [[Dirtmoles]]
| Dirtmoles are extremely capable at digging or mining tasks, but suffer from a sensitivity to light, and have poor eyesight at distance.

|-
! [[File:Genie.png|32px]] [[Genies]]
| Designed to be engineers, genies are calm and great at crafting and intellect, but are fragile and otherwise socially inept.

|-
! [[File:Highmate.png|32px]] [[Highmates]]
| Designed to be perfect mates, highmates can psychically bond with whoever they first romance, for strong buffs. Happy, but incapable of violence.

|-
! [[File:Hussar.png|32px]] [[Hussars]]
| Designed as soldiers, hussars are great at combat and not much else. They are dependent on go-juice, but immune to any of its negative side effects.
| [[File:GeneBackground Xenogene.png|20px|Xenogene|link=Xenogene]] || {{+|2}} || 16
|-
! [[File:Impid.png|32px]] [[Impids]]
| Fast runners that can spew fire, impids are depressive and struggle with farming and melee combat. 
| [[File:GeneBackground Endogene.png|20px|Endogene|link=Endogene]] || '''±0''' || 11
|-
! [[File:Neanderthal.png|32px]] [[Neanderthals]]
| Ancient humans that are slow to move and slow to learn, but are incredibly tanky. 
| [[File:GeneBackground Endogene.png|20px|Endogene|link=Endogene]] || {{+|2}} || 12
|-
! [[File:PigskinXenotype.png|32px]] [[Pigskins]]
| Ungulate-like humans that can eat raw food efficiently and are resistant to disease, but have clunky trotter hands and are nearsighted.
| [[File:GeneBackground Endogene.png|20px|Endogene|link=Endogene]] || {{--|1}} || 16
|-
! [[File:Sanguophage.png|32px]] [[Sanguophages]]
| Vampires. They don't age, are nearly deathless, and have multiple special abilities. In exchange, they have a need for [[hemogen|blood]] and catatonic [[deathrest]], and suffer in the light.
| [[File:GeneBackground Xenogene.png|20px|Xenogene|link=Xenogene]] || '''±0''' || 57
|-
! [[File:Waster.png|32px]] [[Wasters]]
| Bioweapons that can thrive in toxic buildup, survive disease, and can ingest wake-up freely, but have a need for some form of psychite.

== Customization ==
{{Main|Genes}}
Fully custom xenotypes can be created in the colonist selection screen. Any amount of [[gene]]s can be added, so long as [[File:Metabolism.png|20px|Metabolism]] metabolic efficiency is at least -5, and if genes don't conflict.

There are 2 options available in this screen:
*Ignore restrictions: If checked on, this gives access to the [[Genes#Archite|Archite]] genes, and enables conflicting gene combinations (such as Slow Runner and Fast Runner).
*Genes are heritable: If checked on, then these genes will be passed on to the xenotype's [[children]].

Player created xenotypes will appear throughout the game if a starting colonist is of that xenotype, or if an [[ideoligion]] refers to that xenotype.

== Ingame creation ==
{{Main|Gene assembler#Summary}}
Xenotypes can be created during a game within a [[gene assembler]], and delievered via a [[xenogerm]]. You are limited by the [[genepack]]s you found or have [[gene extractor|extracted]]. The complexity of your xenotype is also limited by the [[gene processor]]s you have available.

All xenotypes from a xenogerm are considered ''xenogenes'', not ''germline'' genes, so they will not be passed onto offspring. The xenogerm item is easily replicable, however, once you have all the infastructure set up.

==Trivia==
* An unused icon called 'grunter.png' [[File:Grunter.png|18px]] can be found in the game files. It's located in the same folder as the icons for the other xenotypes.
