Genemodding allows you to cyberize your pops.

I was playing and decided to just get cyborg peeps and not go full synth and ended up getting bioengineering to try to give my self a bit more flexibility, when i noticed i could add the cyber trait to my other non-cyber pops.

is this intentional? who knows, but at least i can cyborgize people on command now.

i hope so

You know, I saw this and thought it was a mod. Kinda cool though!

I kinda wonder if that one event where people start cyberizing themselves leads into this trait...

Yes, it's intentional. Once you finish the research project, the event text even tells you that you can add the trait to pops that join your empire at a later date.
