Lifeform Oven Interface
Research Handbook
The Rare Creations tab of the Research Handbook allows the player to view Special Mutations. The player is able to set one Special Mutation at a time as an objective. They will then need to produce Ruan Mei's Creations with the required genetic traits to pair in order to create the Special Mutation. At most, a Special Mutation will have three traits that are required to create them. These traits can be viewed at the top right of the Research Handbook interface.
The Special Mutation creations are each based off of a playable character. Once the player has created a Special Mutation, they will trigger an interaction with the related playable character through text.
Rare Creations
The Creation Traits tab of the Research Handbook allows players to view their obtained genetic traits. These include variations of Fillings, Patterns, Decorations, and Eyes. For Decorations and Eyes, the materials used to determine each "Mutant Trait" are listed.
Accommodate Creations
Accommodate Creations allows the player to place up to three of their creations in three different areas, each. Creations with matching traits will have special dialogue when interacted with.
The player begins with one area already unlocked, but must unlock the Rest Area and the New Dining Area through the Event Adventure Mission Critter Pick: Care.
