This mod adds several new genes types: Ancient Genes, Thalamus Genes, Cyborg Genes and Gorgon Genes!

They could be identified from Strange Unidentified Genetic Material and could be combined with any other genes.

Strange Unidentified Genetic Material could be bought at City/Research Outpost or found at Wrecks and Ruins, it could also be bought at vending machines but with a much higher price and low amount.

Greatly increase the swimming speed, can withstand deep water pressure up to 6400 meters, and has a built-in sonar system and medium cargo capacity. Multiple damage reduction and resistances.

This mod does not override any vanilla content, it only adds independent content, so it’s most likely compatible with any other mod, If you find any issue, please leave a comment.

Also, it’s safe to add or remove MID-CAMPAIGN / EXISTING SAVES.

I tried to make Thalamus genes act like husk symbiosis, making Thalamus wreck neutral to player, but I could not find a way to rewrite Thalamus AI to make it ignore players with thalamus genes, maybe in the future I would complete this feature. (Implemented!)

I might keep updating and adding more genes in the future, I hope you enjoy this mod!
