This mod looks to expand pop assembly to organics and further develop the genetic ascension path. It is best when paired with the Superior Species Mod, but this is not required.

Makes Cloning Vats available to all biological empires that acquire the Cloning technology, instead of being exclusive to those who pursue the Genetic Ascension path, like with the other cloning technologies present in the game. Those who do pursue the Genetic Ascension path unlock an advanced, more efficient, more productive version of the building.
Instead of giving a bonus to pop growth speed, these buildings employ Life Crafters to assemble a biological pops from a species of your choice. This empowers multi-species (or multi-subspecies) empires to grow two pops at a time: Ban reproduction for your slaves to keep your rulers the majority, but continue assembling new servants through cloning!
This also allows those empires who do not wish to use robotics (due to empire ethics or just personal preference) to keep up with those that do. The choice between assembling organic or robotic pops is made through a new Policy, and assembly of either type be disabled as in vanilla. Machine Empires, for obvious reasons, can still only produce machines.

Additionally, those who pursue the Genetic Ascension Path gain access to the Genetic Experiments menu, found in the Edicts tab. For now this focuses on the development of Biomorphs, a new species type with extra trait picks and points and a high universal habitability, but it will be expanded in the future to provide leader creation/cloning and similar toys. Create subservient Bio-Thralls to work as slaves in your empire, or have your own dominant species shed the burden of evolutionary clutter: The power is now yours!
