|---|---|---|---|
| Baseliner |  |
Humans with no extra genes of note | Biotech DLC |
| Dirtmole |  |
Dirtmoles love to be in dark places, the more cramped the better, and therefore thrive in close combat. Whilst they are extremely capable when it comes to mining or digging, they suffer from poor long-distance eyesight, have slow movement speed, and will have an adverse reaction to light. | Biotech DLC |
| Genie |  |
Genies are solely designed to be engineers. With their brains specifically hardwired to analyze and construct machinery, they are socially inept and emotionally void. This lack of emotion does however allow them to stay calm and follow orders when most others would/could not. They also suffer from weak bones and therefore can become debilitated with very little effort, from very little pain. | Biotech DLC |
| Hussar |  |
Hussars are soldiers, through and through. They fight with aggression and precision that most others cannot achieve, have enhanced healing capabilities, can survive in extreme temperatures, and continually ingest military drugs. They consume these drugs so much they have a dependency on them, making them completely subservient to their commanders. | Biotech DLC |
| Neanderthal |  |
The Neanderthals are strong and well-built; so much so that they are very difficult to injure. Furthermore, their immune systems are strong enough that they are resistant to infection. Much like real-world Neanderthals, however, these humans have yet to fully develop into a functioning society and therefore are weaker at intellectual and social tasks. They are also impulsive and quick to anger. | Biotech DLC |
| Pigskin |  |
Capable of speech, two-legged movement, and the use of tools, the Pigskins are human-pig hybrids. Their trotter hands leave them disadvantaged when it comes to the precise use of tools, objects, or equipment, but their stomachs allow them to eat almost anything with no consequences. Struggling at a distance, the Pigskins tend to prefer close-range weaponry. | Biotech DLC |
| Impid |  |
Impids were made for desert life, with the ability to survive high temperatures, move incredibly fast, and spew fire from their mouths. As they are specifically designed for the desert, they will struggle to survive in most other environments, and furthermore have terrible abilities when it comes to farming. Capable fighters at range, the Impids will very easily lose a fight should it become a more close-quarters encounter. | Biotech DLC |
| Waster |  |
Wasters are immune to toxic pollution and can ingest as much psychite and drugs as they want to with no ramifications. Their metabolism in fact demands that they must consume some form of psychite to survive. This lifestyle leads to a grey-skinned appearance, and an aggressive demeanor. | Biotech DLC |
| Yttakin |  |
Almost the exact opposite of the Impids, the Yttakin are engineered to survive in ultra-cold environments. Their size and coating in fur allow them to be incredibly sturdy, at the cost of their speed, energy, and precision. The Yttakin are in tune with nature, and as such can summon animals to their side during a battle. | Biotech DLC |
| Highmate |  |
Highmates are designed to be the perfect companion in life. With huge amounts of empathy and beauty, these beings psychically bond with their mate. But this is their sole purpose, meaning they cannot perform manual tasks, are incredibly weak, and are literally incapable of violence, regardless of the situation. (vanilla expanded highmates added the cat features) | Biotech DLC |
| Sanguophage |  |
"Sanguophages are capable of passing amongst other xenotypes undetected, and for good reason. These beings are in possession of superhuman powers and have a genetic need for sustenance via human blood.These beings are mentally adept in every field, and endlessly beautiful. In combat, they are capable of throwing deadly spines, but can also heal injured allies. They cannot age or die naturally, and will never be afflicted by a poison or disease. A Sanguophage can create a new Sanguophage by re-implanting its own xenogerm into a person. " | Biotech DLC |
| Fleetkind |  |
These creatures produce children every 25 in game days. Be careful not to send them into combat as they are delicate and explode on death.

| Helixian |  |

"The Fenrisúlfr are a relatively simple product of mixing canine genes with humans, designed to be fiercely strong in groups, making them perfect for close combat. However, due to the immense amount of energy these genes provided, they can never sit still quite long enough to heal, taking them much longer than the average person, even with their strong immunity. Their constant need to be approved by others can be seen as a negative initially, however once opinion improves, they can be amongst the happiest of colonists." | Erin's Fenrisúlfr |
| Faun |  |
"Fauns possess a psychic link with the earth which passively boosts the growth of plants around them. Nature returns the favour, granting Fauns the ability to constrict foes in a barrage of thorny chokevines when cornered, giving them ample time to escape. Their intelligence and hot-footedness comes at the cost of their physical fragility and inherent reclusiveness – a personality trait that sets them apart from their frisky cousins, the Satyrs." | Roo's Faun Xenotype |
| Satyr |  |
"Satyrs stand at a similar height to baseliners, but insist that their bold goat horns make them taller, darker, and much more handsome.

| Scorchlander |  |
"Much like their Kenshi counterparts, scorchlanders can eat raw food and excel in crafting. They however struggle with cooking, farming, and especially mining, and can carry less things than their baseliner counterparts. Unlike Kenshi they can tolerate higher temperatures, but I felt it was appropriate given they're mostly desert nomads." | Scorchlander Xenotype |
| Rotfish |  |
"Rotfish is a subspecies of human living deep in the rainforest, they have been genetically adapted to this humid and sultry environment. Their digestive systems can eat meat that is completely rotten, and with the help of their almost completely degenerated noses they do not find the smell of rottenness unpleasant, but rather prefer the "heavy" smell. The fish genome allows them to move more swiftly in wet environments, and they can also store deadly rotten gases in their air sac organs and release them in battle. Their bodies and the deadly virus create a balance that allows them to inject toxins into their enemies with every attack, but once the rotfish dies, this balance is immediately broken and their bodies decay rapidly.." | Biotech xenotype expanded - Rotfish |
