Genetics Machines
These blocks allow for extensive genetic manipulation of pokémobs, as well as reviving fossils, and cloning of non-legendary pokémobs. These blocks are very dangerous, and should be used with great care.
Warning
Failure to properly use these devices can result in the complete loss of pokémobs and items!
These blocks require energy to run, this can be provided via the Energy Siphon.
Gene Extractor
This block is used to extract DNA from various sources, including:
Filled pokécubes
Fossils - contain species genes
Bottles of DNA
Warning
The Gene Extractor can delete pokémobs when used on a filled pokécube!
To use the extractor, place the source of the DNA in the left most slot (source slot), and then a bottle of water in the bottle slot (top slot). Next place the required selector in the book slot (bottom slot). The machine will then consume Forge Energy, and attempt to extract the selected DNA from the Source into the bottle.
Warning
Use with Legendary pokémobs is not advised, their DNA is volatile, and liable to be destroyed on extraction!
Cloning Device
The Cloning Device allows reviving most sources of species DNA. In the case of Fossils, the DNA must first be extracted.
Warning
Placing a filled pokécube in the DNA slot of the cloner will destroy it when revived, and in the case of a legendary, it will revive wild, so you cannot re-capture it!
The Cloning Device gui has 3 main sections, the Egg/Material slot (Lower Left), the DNA Source slot (Upper Left), and the Other Items slots (Hexagon).
An Egg of some form is always required in the Egg/Material slot!
In the case of general DNA reviving, the DNA source goes in the DNA Source slot. For custom Recipes, such as make_type_null, the Other Items slots are used instead.
Warning
DO NOT place the egg in the DNA Source slot when using Other Items slots recipes, the egg’s DNA will be spliced into the resulting mob, often resulting in un-wanted mutations and the loss of items!
Gene Splicer
This thing is cheaty and overpowered.
Gene Selector Books
The Gene Extractor and Gene Splicer require a selector to function.
Selectors have 3 main sets of properties:
List of genes to selector for
Chance for selector to be lost on use
Chance for DNA source to be lost on use
Warning
Default selectors have 90% chance of DNA source loss.
Making a Selector
Selectors are made via vanilla written books. You can place each required gene on a separate line of the first page of the book, and then when the book is signed, it can be used as a DNA selector. Valid genes can be found in the Genetics Guide in the watch, or via the tooltip of a filled pokécube in the GUI of any of the Genetics Machines. To select all genes, you can just use all, instead of a specific gene name.
Crafting a selector with a nether star will reduce the DNA loss chance to 0%, however will result in an increase in the selector loss chance.
