Gene Randomizer - KonradHeinser/EBSGFramework GitHub Wiki

This hediff comp allows you to create hediffs that alter a pawn's genes, usually randomly:

        <comps>
            <li Class="EBSGFramework.HediffCompProperties_GainRandomGeneSet">
            </li>
        </comps>

These are all the tags that can be added to the comp:

• removeGenesFromOtherLists : Default (true) : While true, when a random set is selected it will remove the genes from all the other sets that are on the pawn. Individual sets can choose to ignore this
• inheritable : Default (true) : Dictates if the genes created are inherited. Individual sets can override this
• delayTicks : Default (10) : If this is just something you want the pawn to use when spawned, the default is good. Otherwise, you can create a delay for activation. The minimum is 10 to avoid some weird issues
• validSeverity : Default (0~99999) : Causes the delay to only tick down when in this range. If a single value is entered, then any severity above that number will tick down the hediff
• alwaysAddedGenes : Regardless of chosen set, genes on this list are always added. This is the first step of the gene changing process
• alwaysRemovedGenes : List of genes to always remove. Removing these genes is the last step
• removeHediffAfterwards : Default (True) : If you can't apply multiple hediffs for some reason and need this hediff to do more, set this to false
• geneSets : Special list of items that determines the random options available
  • weightOfGeneSet : Default (1) : Alters how likely it is that this item will be chosen using a weighted average
  • reverseInheritence : Default (false) : This set does the reverse of what the inheritable tag says
  • alwaysRemoveGenes : Default (false) : If true, the geneSet will be removed even if removeGenesFromOtherLists is false
  • geneSet : The list of GeneDefs to apply

This example gives the pawn a gene that will help them avoid dying more easily. If the pawn has one of the genes already, then that gene set creates a chance for nothing to happen (i.e. a pawn with super fast wound healing will have a 70% chance of having nothing happen):
