Fungoids aren't that ugly!

Description
A patch for the Vanilla Races Expanded - Fungoid mod.

Ever wonder why you can have a colonist sit in a pile of rotting corpses and get a near lethal dose of rotstink without losing their lunch, but the moment they so much as speak to a fungoid they feel an uncontrollable and immediate urge to hurl? Or are you simply not willing to become a fungal horde just to experience this xenotype in any meaningful way? Well worry not, as I finally decided to do something about this.

This mod replaces the "Repulsive" gene on the Fungoid xenotype (the gene that causes the uncontrolled vomiting after any social interaction with a fungoid) with the same "Replusive" gene from the Alpha Genes mod (which instead inflicts a mood penalty on every non-repulsive pawn that views them). Hopefully this will allow those who were put off by the gameplay issues the uncontrolled vomiting caused to be able to try out what is otherwise a very unique and interesting xenotype!

This can be loaded in an existing save, however it will only affect newly spawned Fungoid pawns. Also, ensure that no other mod is loaded after this one that modifies the same genes from either Alpha Genes or VRE-Fungoid as it may override this patch.

If you are interested in just removing the "repulsive" gene with no replacement, check out my other patch: Fungoids look alright actually!

Wow I didn't expect you to actually make another mod what the heck, thank you!

@exBenNN For this patch specifically, no as I feel the Repulsive gene thematically makes sense while also keeping the Xenotype balanced. But I'll look into releasing a new patch that just removes the vomiting gene for those that don't care about that.

Oh my god finally, thank you. Is there a way to patch this so I don't have to use Alpha Genes? I find it kind of bloaty

Yet another patch for this mod that replaces the Gene Infector gene with the vanilla Gene Implanter gene, preventing unwanted fungoid xenogene infections from combat with one. Check it out here: https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3435626742

I just released another patch for VRE Fungoid to remove the "No Study" gene. Check it out here for those that are interested: https://sp.zhabite.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3435043901

This is exactly what I did in my personal patches! I also went further, though. I love Fungoids, so I wrote a Patch that made it so that the fungal infection didn't turn them into mindless, drooling retards without Skills. They aren't mindless zombies, at least not to me. I thought that was unfair and unbecoming of something so based.
