Gendered Genes
Adds some sexual dimorphism to xenotypes by making it possible to have a gene only apply to one gender, or leave it at the default vanilla way of applying the gene to everyone of that xenotype. If a gene (or another gene that has it as a prerequisite) is not applicable to a pawn due to this it is merely overridden, meaning that these genes are still inheritable as normal, keeping their gender information.
To set the gender for a gene simply click the little buttons to the left of the gene in the xenotype creation dialog window. The "/" is for unisex (default, applied to both genders as in vanilla), "M" is male only and "F" is for female only.
Gender information is passed on via:
– Xenogerms
– Pregnancy/Birth (including artificial)
– Xenoimplanter gene
Due to technical limitations, modded ways of shuffling genes around or reproduction will likely not retain gender information and as a result will likely cause genes to revert to unisex if used.
Also, this mod "disables" genes by overriding them and preventing code from running that would usually run when the gene is added. There are some mods that add genes that still work when overridden, which can cause their effects to still apply even when they shouldn’t.
