A Genome Base or Base Genome is a genome that is not intended to be a unique breed in and of itself, but rather applied to base genetics of the game as a whole. Often genome bases are developed with the intent of fixing, enhancing, or adding complexity to different aspects of the gameplay experience. Common third-party C2 genome bases include the Canny and Nova Subterra norns, while CFE and TWB are common C3/DS bases.

Base genomes are usually, though not always, fundamentally incompatible with one another. Due to the nature of the changes involved, crossbreeding creatures from different genome bases tends to result in nonviable offspring. For this reason, players generally choose a single genome base for use in a world.

  1. ForF Support Lobe: Allows creatures to remember who they like and dislike, see Forf Lobe
  2. Drive -> Comb tract Learning fix: Alters tracts leading from the drive lobe to the combination lobe so they add to the values instead of completely overwriting them. [1]
  3. Swearing lets off steam' loop fix: "The 'swearing let's off steam' stimulus reduces their crowdedness when they'd express, while the 'heard creatures speak' stimulus raised their crowdedness. This caused a feedback loop in the tract which made them stand around, expressing their crowdedness. I fixed this by making the crowded chemical in the 'swearing lets off steam' gene silent, and thus not learned." [2]
  4. Pain Overwhelmsion organ fix: Fixes a typo wherein pain was converted into 'hungry for protein' backup drive instead of pain backup. [3]
  5. CFF Male Reproductive Overhaul: Several fixes including a testosterone emitter fix, a longer libido lowerer half-life to reduce the window of time that females are fertile. [4]
  6. Tiredness Stress Emitter Fix: Fixes an issue where Stress(Crowded) and Stress(Tired) are both tied to the same receptor-emitter, causing either drive to cause both kinds of stress at the same time. [5]
