List of mutations

Below follows a list of mutations, for a more advanced enquiry about mutations click here

Categories

Once a mutation is selected, you will begin to mutate towards it. If any mutations you currently have conflict with this mutation, then one of the conflicting mutations is randomly removed. If you have no conflicting mutations, but don't have any of the prerequisites, you will begin to mutate towards a random prerequisite. If you already have a prerequisite mutation and no conflicting mutations, you gain the selected mutation immediately.

Starting traits are underlined. However, initial traits do not increase respective categories strength, unless you gain them later via actual mutation! On the upside, this does mean that you can take Robust Genetics without placing yourself into the rather undesirable slime category.

Basic traits

Starting traits that can sometimes be gained (or rarely lost) through mutation; if you gain one via mutation, you can lose it as normal. If you start with one of these, Purifier will attempt to set you back to it should it be changed.
