Racial Abilities, all DLCs v3.9

Overview

Since I wanted detailed information about the racial abilities in GC3 for a long time and other people requested that as well, I invested some time and compiled this list. I gathered the information for this from in-game and from the AbilityDefs, MasterTechDefs and ImprovementDefs .xml files.I’ve put things that I’m not sure of in angle brackets, so if you have more precise information post it. Same with bugged items, I would like to put an appropriate note if that’s the case. Also, if you find mistakes, typos or missing stuff please tell me. I will then correct those items once I have time.Thanks to the following people who helped to complete the guide or provided valuable information (in no particular order):Dray PrescotjonninGwyrddurunifocRed EarthHoremvoreThunderINSANEcyborgCharlando
