This mod adds one gene and one gene only - the unaging gene!
The unaging gene works like the normal ageless gene, except it prevents aging in kids too!
Things to keep in mind:
- If you put them in a growth vat, they'll age normally.
- If you have another gene present that alters aging, the unaging gene will functionally take precedent, because anything multiplied by zero is zero.
- Chronopath from VPE and other things that just slap on or remove years from a character's age should work fine.
Obvious applications:
- Undead xenotypes. This is what sparked me to make this gene. I always found it weird to see zombie kids grow up. That's a corpse, it shouldn't be growing up. Never getting to grow up is part of the tragedy of becoming undead.
- Divine/godly children that don't age.
- Cheesing the growth points system by waiting for an unaging kid to reach growth tier 8 and sticking them in a growth vat until they reach the next aging tier.
Requirements:
None!
(except Biotech. Obviously you need Biotech)
Compatibility
Not compatible with Jimothy's Archite Genes, as this gene is already present in that mod. I made this mod with just this gene since I figured it's so cool that some might just want it specifically.

Future Plans:
None with this, unless one of you has any good ideas for how to expand on this.
Thankyou to:
