DNA Helices each contain a specific Gene. By default this Gene is unknown, and must be identified using a DNA Decryptor.
Each entity type has a specific set of possible Genes that they can provide. These Genes are also weighted, so some Genes are more likely to be obtained than others.
You can check what Genes a mob can provide using the Gene Checker, using EMI, or checking the mod's datapack.
For example, a Cow has the following Gene weights:
- Basic: 5
- Eat Grass: 3
- Milky: 4
These weights add up to 12. That means decrypting a Cow DNA Helix has a 5/12 chance of having the Basic Gene, a 3/12 chance of having the Eat Grass Gene, and a 4/12 chance of having the Milky Gene.
Once a DNA Helix has been decrypted, it must be inserted into a Plasmid in the Plasmid Infuser.
