Summary

Content "Restricted Genetics trait for Alpha"

Purpose of change

Alpha focuses on the superiority of it's genome, mentally and as a category. This will expand that facet of the tree.

Describe the solution

Adds a trait that restricts the PC from getting new traits outside of Alpha.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Adding two more mutations as well.

Testing

Tested and appears to work

The fact that mutations make evolution viable makes me think that Alpha is a doomed genetic line. Without mutations (or, I guess, extra mutations), Alpha mutants are doomed to fail because they're inflexible. Not that the game is modelling life on an evolutionary scale, but... it makes me wonder if this is something worth emphasizing even in the short term. Yes, Alphas are superior, for a given sense of the word. Are they not, then, a prime example of hubris, and are thus forging their own path to failure?

I know they get some of the mental traits that make them think they're superior to everybody else. I wonder if at the higher levels they could also get... I dunno, a trait that prevents them from forming antibodies against non-common diseases? Or maybe prevent their skills from rising? Something about "I am perfect as I am, I cannot possibly be more".

A minor suggestion - it sounded like Alpha needs more unique mutations, a simple precursor trait for this one could be one that does the inverse of what robust genetics does.

I’m trading some json work for the c++ on the precursor trait. Precursor trait will multiply vitamin costs for other mutation categories.
