Patreon Survey: Help with naming in Vanilla Genetics Expanded!
Added 2021-10-29 09:48:56 +0000 UTC
Hello everyone!
I need your help coming up with a name for the centerpiece of Vanilla Genetics Expanded. For you to make an informed decision, I will explain indepth what the item is.
Formerly known as the Genepod, the structure is responsible for creating growth cells from various genomes, frameworks and boosters.
It comes with such an intricate UI system. Player enters two different genomes that reflect what the animal will be (for example, avian and canine and create a chickenwolf, or a wolfchicken).
Player also needs something called a genoframe, which dictates what quality the hybrid will come out as. That's right, you hear it first, hybrids will have quality levels just like items and structures do!
Player can also insert various boosters to improve the speed of this machine, or to lower the chances of failure.
Once the procedure initiates (called synthesis, but it can be renamed), the progress bar will appear on the machine. Once the progress reaches 100%, player extracts a growth cell of a specific animal, that then needs to be incubated to grow that animal.
This is the growth cell.
Growth cell gets inserted into Electrowomb, which is a highly advanced system that imitates the animal womb. There is a small electrowomb and a large electrowomb.
So, we need a name for the machine that makes these growth cells. Originally it was called a Genepod, but since Ancients already comes with Gene Tailoring Pod, for obvious reasons the name needs to be made more unique.
We have a few of the names listed out but feel free to comment your own idea.

2021-11-01 16:28:37 +0000 UTCwords of inspiration: incubator; gene machine; embryo; gestation; designer; studio; printer; life; fusion; primordial soup; eugenics; control; mixer; concept; life cycle; circle of life; apex; manufacturing; engineering; plant; some folks said some of these, i liked 'weaver', that was witty; saw 'Gene Machine' book title on the web; this does seem to be a genetic sequencer and gestation/ embryo incubator combo; but also thinking of the GUI like this is something you can buy COTS and do it yourself at home like a Maker or 3D printer, but with biogenetics like CRSPR... i don't know how you fit that all into a name, other than to just make your own name, and put the details in the description.. so, it should be a simple yet witty abbreviation

2021-10-30 11:45:55 +0000 UTCOr Sequence Harmonizer And Growth machine if you feel naughty.
2021-10-29 20:47:33 +0000 UTCOr in-vitro-matic. Go wild!
2021-10-29 20:33:07 +0000 UTCCan stand for Cross-breeding High-throughput InterMolecular Assembler
2021-10-29 20:28:23 +0000 UTCI feel like hybridisation is a good alternative to synthesis. Also it is probably better to actually name a machine using something with hybrid in the name. Or maybe go more decadent with name like C.H.I.M.E.R.A.
2021-10-29 20:26:06 +0000 UTCI like "Genetic Combinator" for the cadence, but, that leans a bit more away from the specific 'genome' naming.
2021-10-29 16:51:00 +0000 UTCIf we want a modern slant call it the CRISPR lol

2021-10-29 16:12:03 +0000 UTCI think I'll second Gene Resequencer or just Resequencer.

2021-10-29 16:00:56 +0000 UTCAlso, very excited to see this mod regardless of what stuff is named!
2021-10-29 14:45:25 +0000 UTCYou could also take “gene” out of the name and instead name it after the product, embryos. Embrylizer, Embryo-tron, splice-o-matic.
2021-10-29 14:44:19 +0000 UTCGene splicer or gene resequencer as it combines genes from the 2 animals and overlays them on a general frame, similar to Jurassic Park using frogs. Resequencer ties in nicely with today's science terms, as rapid sequencing is the big thing right now in biology.
