C3DS Unknownase List

  5/20/2013  4

This thread exists for two reasons: 1) If you know a breed that uses unknownases, post it so that it can be logged; and 2) so that developers can easily find which unknownases are already in use by other breeds.

This first post has the chem list in it. Chemicals already in use by official breeds are listed in sets to save space. The second post has a list of what the unknownases are named and used for by breed.

Key:
Chem #: breed(s) or official function.

Italics mean this set of chems aren't unknownases and are used in official genomes.

Green text mean that this chem isn't an unknownase but isn't use in any official genomes.

Red text means that this unknownase used for diffrent things by different breeds!

Pink text means that the breed or agent is in development.

Thanks for this list, very useful!

Can I reserve 58?

I think in this case it's less "reserving" and more "oh hey BTW my breed uses chemical # and might conflict with other breeds". 8;^)

new chemicals for the list...

CFF Creatures now use:

Chemical 37: LDH
(Lactate Dehydrogenase, regulates pyruvate-lactate cycle)

Chemical 61: Lactic Acid
(represents low-oxygen lactate buildup, responsible for muscle burn and feeling of suffocation in CFF)

As far as I can tell these don't conflict with other breeds.

This is very useful thank you! I had a look for one of these topics earlier but didn't find it.

Is there also a list of floating recep-emitters that are in use?

Hmm, not that I know of... FRE 00-22 are used in the normal genomes (though a few are kind of mixed up, these are some of the CFF fixes...) CFF additionally use 23 & 24... one to fix a broken testosterone receptor that previously attached to a hunger stress locus, using it to control inhibin in males instead, and one to control the lactate-pyruvate cycle... That leaves 25-31, which I don't know of in any other breeds.

The naming convention Gameware used in the gene descriptions puts a "(loc0-22)" in the description of nearly all receptor or emitter genes that attached to a FRE locus (but they missed doing this with one or two), and I followed that naming convention within CFF. So going into a genome and sorting by gene type then looking at emitters or receptors, should give you a good idea which are used in it, as long as you have the .gno descriptions file for the genome as well... Though of course breed developers didn't necessarily have to follow that convention in their gene descriptions (if they even give .gno files with their breeds), and I don't know of any uses of the FRE loci besides CFF where they are specifically documented.

Thanks, I saw the loci mentioned in the descriptions of some but didn't want to accidentally use any that were not labeled, so I ended up using 30 and 31.

Abyss Dragons v2.0 and all succeeding versions will use 196 and 197 as digestive/nutrition chemicals allowing them to live exclusively on animal prey, as per Dragoler's suggestion.

Conclude with killer catchphrase.

I know I'm the last person who posted, but it seems wise to let the thread bump so other people can more easily see this update.

I am using chemical 236 in v3.0 of my dragon project. From here on out it shall be known as motase. Motase shall be used as a reactant with starch to produce flyerase and with protein to produce swimmerase. This allows me to control those reactions so they don't just run until all the Norn's nutrients are used up. Instead they only run so long as a supply of motase is available. I'm still tweaking the specifics of this system, but the end result should be a more realistic use of the flight/swimming abilities. The creatures will have to keep themselves properly nourished and eat a complete diet in order to be able to swim and fly, but they also won't be forced to eat constantly to fuel a never-ending -ase reaction.

I'm now claiming chemical 233 as well for the Dragon genome, and most likely for the as-yet unnamed genome which shall be made to include all the non-Dragon Norn-specific edits, like the brain edits Geat_masta came up with. I tried to come up with an innovation of my own, and this is it. 233's name from here on out shall be oneirogenase ( "dream-making chemical" ). It produces an intoxication similar to that of tryptamine/130, but following a different rule. Instead of using a random seed number, its seed number is the same each time, with the variance in the effect controlled only by the amount of the drug currently in the creature's system. This leads to a much more consistent series of illusions. More details about the effects of the core of this edit will require further study.

In addition to the brain effect, though, oneirogenase will be used in a few other places to give it additional effects in the manner of most RL drugs. (For example, it currently reacts with and destroys Boredom at a moderate-to-slow rate, meaning they feel less bored so long as it's in their system, and it also decays into small amounts of H4C and H4F, leading to a craving for sugary, fatty foods. Other effects are still being considered/tested.)
