Editing Xenotypes

{{Biotech}}
'''Xenotypes''', also known as '''xenohumans''', refer to the various subspecies of [[human]]. They have a different set of [[gene]]s, whether 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.

== List of xenotypes ==
Humans without any modifiers are called '''Baseliners'''.
* '''[[Dirtmoles]]''': Dirtmoles are extremely capable at digging or mining tasks, but suffer from a sensitivity to light, and have poor eyesight at distance.
* '''[[Genies]]''': Designed to be engineers, genies are calm and great at crafting and intellect, but are fragile and otherwise socially inept.
* '''[[Highmates]]''': Designed to be perfect mates, highmates can psychically bond with whoever they first romance, for strong buffs. Happy, but incapable of violence.
* '''[[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.
* '''[[Impids]]''': Fast runners that can spew fire, impids are depressive and struggle with farming and melee combat.
* '''[[Neanderthals]]''': Ancient humans that are slow to move and slow to learn, but are incredibly tanky.
* '''[[Pigskins]]''': Ungulate-like humans that can eat raw food efficiently and are resistant to disease, but have clunky trotter hands and are nearsighted.
* '''[[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.
* '''[[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.
* '''[[Yttakin]]''': Fur-skinned humans that are well adapted to the cold, and have an animal warcall. Prefer to be nude.

'''Hybrids''' are 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.

== Customization ==
{{For|full list of genes|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|Genetics}}
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.
