DNA Resequencing

My primary idea is to have a service that allows you to resequence your DNA to match your current race or appearance. This would change your natural race, essentially, and the genes that you pass along to offspring. I'll admit that I don't know how hardcoded the Steele offspring options are, but if it's modular like descriptions and scenes, it shouldn't be too bad, I think.

Some points to consider:

I think it should be rare and expensive

It should probably be limited to a couple of uses or even a one time thing, considering the strain that it would place on your biology

It should probably cause a very large amount of taint, because gods only knows what chemicals go into rearranging your DNA like that

I would think that it would be a large on planet machine/chamber rather than a ship installation or a consumable

Maybe they also provide a still fairly expensive service to restore you to your genetic baseline (original or resequenced respectively) if your mods get out of hand, excluding one way transformations

Full Vanae TF

Ok, so second idea. I like being vanae for my current playthrough, however I've found that there's no way to get the vanae hands and feet or their tentacle skirt. I can understand why the tentacle skirt might be hard to work with for Steele. I would like to see the vanae appendages added to the transformative, or an upgraded tf that can do that. If the skirt is doable too, that's great (maybe it could be handled in the wing slot for adding and removing, or be a tag added to skin or tail).

I do understand that Steele isn't necessarily meant to take on the entire natural look of all the other races. However, some can get really really close, and the full races of the available half race options for Steele are pretty achievable. Not to mention that some unnatural races can be achieved in their entirety with no other features leftover. It'd be awesome to at least be uncertain if I modded to be vanae, or if I'm a vanae with a minor mod.

I'll admit that I don't know how hardcoded the Steele offspring options are, but if it's modular like descriptions and scenes, it shouldn't be too bad, I think.

Steele's offspring are hard-coded to be either human or half-human, depending on the other parent. The only exceptions are that initially half-ausar Steeles will often produce full ausar children if the other parent is an ausar, and their kids with Haley will be the same as their initial race.
Regardless, Steele's original hair colour, eye colour and skin tone are inheritable with a 50% chance by default, though some children are hard-coded to be guaranteed either way for certain features (e.g. Sera's first kid is guaranteed to have hazel hair (Sera's original hair colour), while Briha's first two kids are guaranteed to have Steele's initial hair and eye colours).
Changing which race Steele breeds as would introduce the complexity of making non-human hybrids for non-human parents, and half-humans for human parents; even if we only allowed that for starter races, that's still six more races that have to be hybridised with almost every single other race that can be bred with (excluding parasitic and oviposition breeding since Steele doesn't contribute any genes to those, as well as humans because half-humans are already considered). While that's not impossible, it's time-consuming and probably not worth it from most perspectives.

Ok, yeah, that's a big nope on a rework that'd only appeal to probably a few players.

As an alternative idea, it could make a backup copy of Steele's current mods for a fee and could revert Steele to that state for another large fee. Again, I don't know how hard that would be. Certainly not worth a nightmare rework.

The vanae tf thing still bugs me, but it's minor, all things considered.

This is much more manageable, at least code-wise; you'd just need to make a new creature object whose appearance is identical to Steele's current appearance, save that object, then copy all that stuff back to the PlayerCharacter object later. I doubt there'll be any new body parts added, so this system probably won't need any maintenance; the hardest part would be writing the TF sequence, assuming they don't just skip/skim over it.

The TF sequence would definitely be tough, especially if you fully describe each body part changing the way that it typically happens with other TFs.

The only thing that I can think of really quick would be to describe there being a fizzy bubbly feeling all along their body, their body feels like it begins to dissolve, then describe it restabilize into the different body parts. Unless it can easily make calls to the regular TF text without having to manually call each possible change, but I have a feeling that might not be possible. Otherwise it may only be able to insert race and body part and color with a more generic description.

It's certainly a bit of a conundrum if there has to be a description written for each possible racial body part.

Easy, just make it so that the mod knocks you out for a few hours during the transformation. Then you wake up as the new you.

Sure it's a cop out, but considering how cool the ability to hot swap between bodies would be so cool I think we can give it a mulligan.

Yeah, as it'd probably be a long process to restore a stored body state, it would make sense that you would be knocked out for it. I can't imagine how excruciating it would be to have your whole body rearranged in a relatively short time span.

Maybe the description could focus on the ominous looking preparation for the process while they're already in the chamber, then they get knocked out (gas, injection, whatever) and wake up surprised that it went exactly as it was supposed to (since most things in the universe mess with you), well besides some serious taint (like 25 or 50 points, but maybe capped at a 99 total, requiring you to do something else stupid to max taint).

There could be something slightly off that builds up over many uses, but only triggers a "perk" if your taint is also above a certain threshold when starting the process. (Thinking like a Mutable Body: 25% chance to receive an additional transformation upon using a transformative item with multiple possible transformations) Just a thought, though that might be hard to do. Or something crazy like Tainted Love: your lust damage increases as your taint increases. Anyway, that's outside of the scope of my core idea.

On a more relevant/realistic note - Shekka's Myr venom addiction is almost locked behind either Shekka having a cock or Steele having a vagina.
There are 13 interactions that can raise her Myr venom addiction:

If Shekka has at least one point of addiction, getting a blowjob from her sex menu has a venom variant that raises addiction. Doing the workout scene once qualifies.

cough Myrellion cough

Oh God I just realized does that mean they'll never finish the Myrellion content?

Fenoxo was working on that, but I have no idea what happened to it.

 

[MarcoPolo121]

Fenoxo got burned out on writing smut.

Oh, neat, that wasn't in the wiki in the table listing addiction changes, only in the scene description…

That makes it much easier.

Nothing. It's dead, Jim.

The grey goo armor can currently gain two heal abilities:
One heals you up to 50 HP using grey goo vials in your inventory, 1/hour, and a 24 hour -2 armor debuff.
The other heals you 50% or 100% of your HP, and costs stored body fluids - which are trivial to get late in the game, making the first option essentially worthless, especially since the first option also requires you to drag stuff around with you, costing you an inventory slot.

There's also the Augment-Weave Armor, which is… honestly, probably broken, because it allows you to recover a level of soreness by simply resting for 5 minutes, which doesn't quite seem right to me, but does set a precedent.

It would be neat if, when the goo armor has both of these heal abilities, the "health for goo vials" would instead (or in addition) heal a level of soreness.
That way, I wouldn't have to carry an Augment-Weave Armor with me wherever I go.

That's what having Pippa onboard is good for, since a massage will remove soreness.

If I wanted to go back to the ship for it, I'd just sleep. Yeah, it takes more time, but passage of time barely matters in the game, anyway.
Besides, at the moment, Augment-Weave Armor allows you to remove soreness "in the wild" through basic rest, without sleeping or even returning to the ship.

I do wish there were more upgrades for the Goo armour. The last upgrade was back in Uveto for electrical defence. Been multiple planets since then. Would be good to see more for the evolving armour.

Also, it would be nice to do quest 3 for Saendra. I don't think she has had any content since before Myrellion.

If Steele manages to impregnate Feruze and gets the fetus shipped to the Nursery, the next time Steele runs into Feruze there should be some mention of that. Did Feruze willingly part with the child? Or, as seems more likely, did Steele's cousin force Feruze to terminate the pregnancy? Did cuz know who the sire was?
I think it would be an interesting story if cuz told Feruze to terminate (all the way terminate), and instead Feruze shipped the kid off to the Nursery on the q-t (shades of Snow White). I could see that really pissing Feruze off - perhaps enough that during the final battle on Phaedra Feruze tells cuz "Take this job and shove it" and "So, Steele, is there a position on your staff for me?" (which would be a comical way to have the final combat just go poof!).

 

[Amakawa Yuuto]

This should definitely depend on how your relationship with the cousin is at that point, since they might have mellowed out into a friendly rival at the end of Dhaal. All the way to "Yeah, I'm still planing on winning, but I'll have to hire you afterwards because you're way to competent and it'd be a waste not to."

 

[SmithEK]

More content on new Texas would be great. Maybe more Big T and Zephyr. Ooh threesome that I swear I read somewhere between Zephyr and Mirrin.

That's a bug, not a function of Augment-Weave.

I'm hoping Gedan finishes squashing the Sentry crash bugs soon, so she can come on and deal with more minor bugs like this one. There's a lot of them.

 

[Zarkrai]

When are we going to see an Adjatha bust for Penny? I remember that there was a few in some of the sex scenes with her in the form of a in-game image instead of a bust. Just wondering if it's something that we'll get to see soon?

 

[SmithEK]

Since Bimbo Kiro has some good sex scenes, it would be interesting if Steele could lend Kiro the bimbo hat so normal Kiro gets the bimbo sex scenes too, without destroying her personality.

 

[Zarkrai]

Would it be possible to have the Overqueen as a crew member? I kind of liked her and since she's royalty it would be interesting and it sounded like she has some personal problems that sounds like something we might be able to help with I'm guessing. If the devs can't/won't do that then can we at least get a snake crew member? Also hope that Snake Tf come soon since Kineticist got released publicly.

 

[Amakawa Yuuto]

She isn't there on her own, she has an entire crew there. She's not going to abandon everything to accompany a random rusher.

More sneks would be nice, though.

 

[PanzerGuitar00]

More sneks would be nice, though.

Seconded. And a snek tf. I remember a few people working on some but I think those have been abandoned.

 

[Zarkrai]

I remember them saying that they weren't gonna add it until they have gotten the psychic mechanic worked out. So now that they have finally added a psychic class, we might see a snake tf soon if it's still a part of their plan.

Omg yes! Finally!

I'm hoping they add cobra hoods and gorgon hair. Those are so cool.

Another humble request to add the ability to add 2 extra arms for our character. I want to be a real ant girl..

 

[MarcoPolo121]

Not much chance of that. Suddenly EVERY scene would have to be rewritten to check for four arms and have branches for it.

 

[nebulous_doofus]

I dont know if this has come up in the past or not, apologies in advance if so, but it'd be neat to be able to see the pc's erect member alongside the other variable parts of the manequin protagonist portrait like the breasts, ass and muscles, just to visualize better how different sizes and volumes possibly look, because the mannequin actually helps me alot with making a cohesive character that doesn't look too crazy and I'd like to be able to extend that to the playable character's cock(s).

 

[Amakawa Yuuto]

Another humble request to add the ability to add 2 extra arms for our character. I want to be a real ant girl..

They specifically added "most people can't handle four arms" to the game's canon because they didn't want a four-armed Steele. Having to account for the number of arms in every scene creates to much baggage.

And that was even before the scope of the game got reduced.
