Description:
This is a continuation of Enhanced Gene Modding by ParasiteX.

This mod provides you with a menu of additional customization options that pop-up after successfully gene-modifying a species.

These options include:

  • Rename species.
  • Change appearance of species.
  • Modify all leaders, armies and colonizers of same sub-species to new genemod species.
  • Set gene modded species as your new founding species.
  • Convert a species you have gene modded into a subspecies of your founding species.
  • Designate a new homeworld for a species within your empire.
  • Change species class.
  • Change species name-list.
  • Convert machine species into robots by changing their species class.


Only the appearance of your species or a species whose homeworld you own can be changed to the built-in and DLC-exclusive species portraits. You will need to have the DLC installed to be able to apply any of the DLC exclusive portraits.

Only one gene modding menu can be up at a time. This was made this way to avoid scripting conflicts. So avoid gene-modding other species while the window is still up.

Several of the more advanced options. Like changing to a different species class or converting species identity, requires the Genetic Resequencing. If you don’t own Utopia, then you instead need Targeted Gene Expressions.

Short delay of one in-game days before gene modding menu pops up after uplifting a species.


Compatibility

Should be very compatible with most mods without any major issues. It does not edit any vanilla files.
So it is also fully savegame compat.

For support of custom portraits and namelists (and older versions) see here.

Not compatible with Ironman achievements.

For Modders: To support other mods and use as addon: you can call one of the two specific ‘on_actions’ events directly or use the ‘fire_on_action’ command with the right scopes, e.g. as used in Species Engineering. (If a established mod needs built-in support, you can make a request.)

Troubleshooting:
If for whatever reason the menu doesn’t appear when it should. Then you can try this console command to reset the mod: "event genemodenh.661".

If a species with 0 pops is still showing in menu, then you simply need to modify the species template and click the trashcan icon in bottom to get rid of it.

Known Minor Issues:
If you save the game when the gene-modding window is still up, and then reload that game, then the window will be gone, and it won’t appear again the next time you genemod a species.
You can fix this by using the "event genemodenh.661" console command.

Cheat mode!
Cheat mode removes all the balance restrictions and prevents happiness penalties. To enable cheats, type "event genemodenh.369" in console without quotation marks. Re-enter it again to disable cheats.
