For Modders:

The mod is entirely translated using keyed localization. Every string is now editable in the localization file, and I would be grateful if you would create a translation for your language, even though the mod is small :)

Updates:

• 1.0.0 - Initial release
• 1.0.1 - Added search tags. - This system allows you to search for genes using various tags. - As of now, there's only one tag - "#", which allows searching for genes using any text in their description. Example: "#combat" will find genes with "combat" in their description. Example: "strong #combat" will find genes with "strong" in their name and "combat" in their description. - Searchbar is still able to search for genes by their name, it's done by not using "#" at the start of the search term.
• 1.0.2 - Added gene list sorting. - Now, you can sort the gene list by clicking on the column headers. It can be sorted in ascending and descending order by gene names, metabolism, complexity and archite capsules price.
• 1.03 - Updated for 1.6.
• 1.1 - Major UI overhaul with custom value input system. - Direct Input Fields: Click and type values directly instead of using buttons - Custom Values: Set any number you want for metabolism, complexity, and archite costs - Negative Numbers: Full support for negative values for advanced scenarios - Input Validation: Smart filtering prevents invalid characters and crashes - Right-Click Reset: Instantly restore original values with right-click - Improved Reset System: Better bulk reset functionality with immediate visual feedback - Real-Time Updates: Changes apply instantly without requiring restarts - Enhanced Tooltips: Show original vs current values for better clarity
