The **DNA Decryptor** is used to analyze [DNA Helices](@geneticsresequenced:dna_helix) to reveal the Genes they contain.

## Usage

Insert a DNA Helix with an unknown Gene into the Decryptor.

The Decryptor will check all possible Genes for that entity type, and pick one at random using their weights.

For example, a Sheep's default Gene weights are:

- Basic: 5
- Eat Grass: 3
- Wooly: 4

So there's a 5/12 chance of getting Basic, 3/12 chance of getting Eat Grass, and 4/12 chance of getting Wooly.

The Helix will be moved to the output slot, with the Gene set. If there's already a Helix in the output slot that can't be stacked with the new Helix, the Decryptor will stall until there's room.
