Semicustoms are on a point system, allowing you to purchase point packs to spend on various rarities of traits to get what you want/need.
For how this works, you purchase a basic semicustom, which gives you 15 points to spend. You can upgrade this with point packs to increase the number of genes you have on your Drak. Any unspent points can be used to add more genes to your Semi, even if you bump them to carried or hide them! Once approved, however, you can't use the points to add more. This is only for initial creation. Points also can't be moved from one semicustom to another (So you can't buy two basic Semicustoms, and one Semicustom upgrade, and split the points between the two basic Semicustoms)
