Using the gene assembler, you can combine your genepacks for your own desired custom [[xenotypes|xenotype]]. Any type and number of gene can be added, as long as no genes conflict, and as long as you do not exceed the maximum genetic complexity, or the minimum metabolic efficiency. | Using the gene assembler, you can combine your genepacks for your own desired custom [[xenotypes|xenotype]].

By default, the assembler's maximum genetic complexity is 6. The maximum complexity is raised by 2 for each [[gene processor]] that is currently connected and active. Up to 100 processors can be connected, for a hard maximum of 206 complexity. | By default, the assembler's maximum genetic complexity is 6.

Gene processors will only contribute complexity when powered. If the connected processors lose power during recombination, and the maximum complexity falls below the xenogerm's requirement, then recombination will be put on hold. | Gene processors will only contribute complexity when powered.

Nearly all non-cosmetic genes will affect your pawn's metabolic efficiency, which in turn affects their hunger rate. A higher metabolic efficiency represents a pawn that uses less energy, and requires less food. Likewise, a lower metabolic efficiency represents a hungrier pawn that requires more food. There is a tradeoff, where positive genes result in lower efficiency, and negative genes result in a higher efficiency (with a few exceptions). | Nearly all non-cosmetic genes will affect your pawn's metabolic efficiency, which in turn affects their hunger rate.

Positive, efficiency-lowering genes must be balanced out by negative, efficiency-raising genes for the xenogerm to become valid.
