Questionable Ethics Enhanced Mod

Questionable Ethics Enhanced Mod expands RimWorld with advanced cloning, organ growth, and pawn manipulation systems, building upon KongMD’s original mod and the 1.3 update by Mario55770. This enhanced version integrates modern DLC systems and significantly improves balance, usability, and compatibility.

This mod focuses on ethically questionable technologies, allowing colonies to grow organs, clone pawns and animals, manipulate brains, and control pawns through invasive procedures, all while offering extensive configuration options.
