Gunsaw Genetics
Gunsaw Genetics adds species selection inspired by Gunsaw. Its multiplayer patch is a separate project: match the patch's own requirements, and distinguish it from cosmetic Sprite Replacer files. The main mod's current version is not established by this research snapshot.

Species selection versus ordinary skins
Gunsaw Genetics is presented as a species-selection modification, with species traits and sprites drawn from Gunsaw. The research snapshot records fourteen species plus an Albino variant. That count belongs to the mod description; it should not be inserted into the vanilla characters table, which describes Experiment, Milky and Dune. A Gunsaw species name appearing in a skin pack does not establish that the same character is a selectable base-game survivor.
A cosmetic Sprite Replacer changes displayed sprites. Gunsaw Genetics selects a species and associates it with species-specific behavior in its own description. This is why a visual match between two screenshots cannot settle whether an installation is running the species mod, a texture pack for that mod, or a stand-alone sprite replacement. Keep those three kinds of files separate when following a download link.
The MPv5 patch and older fixes
The Gunsaw Genetics MPv5 Patch is credited to jyanseivrc, with version 4 recorded on 29 October 2026. Its author instructions in the snapshot require both host and client installations and describe saving the selected species in save.sv. That save-file change makes a backup particularly relevant before replacing the species package. A patch version is not the version of the main Gunsaw Genetics mod, and the date on the patch should not become the main mod's update date.
An older project called Gunsaw Genetics Skills Fix was recorded separately with host-only instructions. Its installation rule must not be merged with the MPv5 patch's host-and-client rule. The difference is evidence of two different fixes, not a contradiction to smooth into a single installation recipe. Use the exact author listing for the chosen multiplayer generation instead of mixing steps from similarly named projects.
The Sprite Replacer conflict
The MPv5 patch snapshot identifies a conflict between its built-in skin-changing component and Multiplayer Sprite Replacer. Choose the skin system described for that package; do not interpret the warning as a reason to delete an unspecified DLL from every mod folder. The Sprite Replacer comparison identifies the cosmetic branches, while the co-op guide covers Casualties Together itself. No version number is supplied for the main Genetics download because the available record does not contain one.
