[[File:traits_preview.png|right]]'''Traits''' personalize and add flavor to your colonists by granting a wide variety of special bonuses or conditions to their day to day activities, and so encourage more complex player-conceived stories based on those individual characters.  Traits provide physical or psychological abilities or limitations, likes/dislikes, behavior tendencies, personality quirks, and so on.  Some are beneficial, some are harmful to the colonist or your colony as a whole.  Some are constant, some only rarely triggered.  Some can be more or less easily negated or manipulated to your advantage by catering to them (or denying them), others are more problematic or outright dangerous.

{{Stub|section=1|reason=How traits work, when and how they're selected, how they work with genes, limits, etc.}}
+
Only humans have traits. Most humans have 1-3 traits, with the possibility of an "extra" sexuality trait. Adults cannot gain new traits, and there is no way to remove traits.
 +
 
 +
{{BiotechIcon}} Children usually only have a number of traits no higher than the number of [[Children#Growth_moments|growth moments]] they have reached, and babies have none. Children can attain a new trait every time they reach a new [[Children#Growth_moments|growth moment]] (birthdays 7, 10, and 13).
 +
 
 +
=== Trait acquisition ===
 +
 
 +
When a human is generated, it acquires traits according to this process:
 +
 
 +
* First, the pawn gains any traits that its "pawn kind" requires. ''For example, the titular mechanitor{{BiotechIcon}} of [[Scenario_system#Default_Scenarios|The Mechanitor]] start scenario always has the [[Recluse]] trait.''
 +
* Second, if the pawn is being generated for a quest, it gains any traits required by the quest. ''For example, the imperiled noble from the [[Quests#Noble_Wimp|Noble Wimp]]{{RoyaltyIcon}} quest always has the [[Wimp]] trait.''
 +
* Traits from the pawn's [[backstories]] are then acquired, unless they would conflict with the pawn's "pawn kind". ''For example, a pawn with a backstory composed of the [[Backstories/Tribal_Child|Cave Child]] childhood and the [[Backstories/Tribal_Adult|Scout]] adulthood would have the [[Undergrounder]] and [[Jogger]] traits. However, a hypothetical backstory that grants the Brawler trait will not grant it if the pawn is a "tribal archer", as that pawn kind specifically prohibits the Brawler trait.''
 +
* A trait count limit is chosen, based on the pawn's age. [[Reproduction#Babies|Babies]]{{BiotechIcon}} and [[children]] under seven years of age have a limit of 0 traits; children with 7-9 birthdays, 1 trait; children with 10-12 birthdays, 1-2 traits; and anyone older, 1-3 traits, with no bias towards any particular number. If the pawn's current number of traits is lower than the trait limit, each 'missing' trait is filled in by a random trait, weighed based on each trait's commonality. The randomly gained traits cannot be any of the following:
 +
** Any sexuality trait ([[Asexual]], [[Bisexual]], or [[Gay]])
 +
** [[Wimp]], but only if the pawn is from a [[faction]] hostile to the player's faction
 +
** Any that the pawn already has
 +
** Any that conflict with a trait the pawn already has
 +
** Any prohibited by the pawn's "pawn kind" or backstories
 +
** Any that would disable a work type required by the pawn's "pawn kind"
 +
** Any that requires a work type disabled for the pawn
 +
** Any that would cause the pawn's minor [[mental break threshold]] to rise above 50%
 +
* If the pawn is at least 13 years old, their sexuality is then determined. If the pawn has any romantic or ex-romantic relationship with someone of the same gender, they acquire the Gay trait. Otherwise, they may be Asexual, Bisexual, Gay, or straight (which is not a trait, merely an absence of the three sexuality traits). The random choice is weighted by each sexuality trait's commonality, or in the case of 'straight/no sexuality trait', weighted by the sum commonality of every non-sexuality trait that the pawn does not currently have. Note that since the [[Biotech DLC]] adds two traits with non-zero commonalities, sexuality traits are marginally rarer if Biotech is enabled.
 +
* Afterward, the pawn's [[xenotype]]{{BiotechIcon}} (if any) is determined. If [[Traits#Trait-affecting_genes|certain genes]] are present, this can affect the pawn's trait set, either adding or suppressing traits.
 +
* If the [[Scenario_system#Voluntary_parts|starting scenario forces any traits]], the pawn gains any such traits. The "Forced trait" scenario part can be configured to apply to all pawns in the game, only the player's starting pawns, or only non-player pawns; it can also be configured to have a chance to trigger per pawn between 0-100%.
 +
* Finally, if the pawn is a [[creepjoiner]]{{AnomalyIcon}}, it gains any traits granted by its benefit and/or downside.
 +
 
 +
=== Starting possessions ===
 +
{{Move|section=1|destination = Pawn Selection|reason=While some of this info can likely be kept in this page, most of it should move to [[Game_Creation|Pawn Selection]] once that page has been created}}
 +
Certain traits may influence the initial possessions of your colonists in the pawn selection menu (either for [[Game_Creation|creating a new game]] or [[Endings#Colony_End|selecting new colonists after a game over]]). Unless you have chosen the [[Scenario_system#Default_Scenarios|Naked Brutality]] start scenario or used the Scenario Editor to add the "no possessions" scenario part, each such colonist may have up to two possessions in their inventory. A stack of items counts as 1 possession. Possessions for each colonist are generated in the following order, ending prematurely if the colonist has two possessions:
 +
 
 +
* [[Ghoul]]s{{AnomalyIcon}} never have possessions.
 +
* [[Reproduction#Babies|Babies]]{{BiotechIcon}} have between 30-40 units of baby food.
 +
* If the colonist is addicted to a drug, they have enough of the drug to satiate the addiction for roughly 25-35 days.
 +
* If the colonist has a [[Genes#Drugs|genetic drug dependency]]{{BiotechIcon}}, they have enough of the drug to satiate the dependency for roughly 25-35 days.
 +
* If the colonist has [[hemogenic]] gene{{BiotechIcon}}, they have 8-12 [[hemogen pack]]s.
 +
* If the colonist has an adulthood backstory that can grant possessions, there is a 25% chance for them to have those possessions. Note that, should a backstory be capable of granting multiple possessions, this process will still stop once the colonist has two possessions, and the backstory's possessions are always granted in the order they are defined in the backstory.
 +
* '''Traits are accounted for only after all the above steps have been performed'''. There is a 25% chance for a colonist to receive possessions based on their [[Traits#Trait-affecting_genes|non-suppressed traits]]. As with backstories, it is possible for this step to stop midway through once the colonist has two possessions; possessions are always granted in the order the traits present themselves, and per-trait they are granted in the order they are defined in the trait. ''For example, a pawn with the Psychopath trait has a 25% chance to gain a skull and a heart, but a pawn who already has a prior stack of [[flake]] due to a flake addiction would have a 25% chance to only gain a skull.''
 +
* If the colonist still has less than two possessions, there is a 6% chance for them to have a random possession. The list of possible possessions is lengthy, but does not include every possible item in the game.
 +
 
 +
=== Trait-affecting genes ===
 +
{{Biotech|section=1}}
 +
Certain genes can modify a pawn's traits, either by forcing a trait to be added or suppressing a trait. Forced traits function as normal, though they are visible in the pawn's Bio tab in pale blue text. Suppressed traits do not have any effects, but are still visible in the pawn's Bio tab in dark grey text.
 +
 
 +
If a forced trait would ordinarily conflict with non-genetically forced trait(s) the pawn already has, the latter is/are suppressed. If it would ordinarily conflict with genetic trait(s) the pawn already has, the latter is/are removed. If a trait-granting gene is removed, the trait will also be removed (unless the pawn already has the trait independent of genes); this un-suppresses any traits it had suppressed which are not suppressed by another gene or trait, and restores any genetically-forced traits that were removed by that gene and which do not conflict with any other trait the pawn has (including suppressed traits). This almost always leads to intuitive results, with one exception: if a pawn has the psychically hyper/sensitive trait, also has the psychically dull/deaf gene in their germline (e.g. due to being a [[Yttakin]]), and then has the other psychic sensitivity trait gene in their xenogenes... removal of the xenogene will remove the trait it forces, but it will also not result in the restoration of the other gene's trait and will not un-suppress the psychically hyper/sensitive trait.

Traits preview.png

Traits personalize and add flavor to your colonists by granting a wide variety of special bonuses or conditions to their day to day activities, and so encourage more complex player-conceived stories based on those individual characters. Traits provide physical or psychological abilities or limitations, likes/dislikes, behavior tendencies, personality quirks, and so on. Some are beneficial, some are harmful to the colonist or your colony as a whole. Some are constant, some only rarely triggered. Some can be more or less easily negated or manipulated to your advantage by catering to them (or denying them), others are more problematic or outright dangerous.

Mechanics[edit]

Only humans have traits. Most humans have 1-3 traits, with the possibility of an "extra" sexuality trait. Adults cannot gain new traits, and there is no way to remove traits.

Content added by the Biotech DLC Children usually only have a number of traits no higher than the number of growth moments they have reached, and babies have none. Children can attain a new trait every time they reach a new growth moment (birthdays 7, 10, and 13).

Trait acquisition[edit]

When a human is generated, it acquires traits according to this process:

  • First, the pawn gains any traits that its "pawn kind" requires. For example, the titular mechanitorContent added by the Biotech DLC of The Mechanitor start scenario always has the Recluse trait.
  • Second, if the pawn is being generated for a quest, it gains any traits required by the quest. For example, the imperiled noble from the Noble WimpContent added by the Royalty DLC quest always has the Wimp trait.
  • Traits from the pawn's backstories are then acquired, unless they would conflict with the pawn's "pawn kind". For example, a pawn with a backstory composed of the Cave Child childhood and the Scout adulthood would have the Undergrounder and Jogger traits. However, a hypothetical backstory that grants the Brawler trait will not grant it if the pawn is a "tribal archer", as that pawn kind specifically prohibits the Brawler trait.
  • A trait count limit is chosen, based on the pawn's age. BabiesContent added by the Biotech DLC and children under seven years of age have a limit of 0 traits; children with 7-9 birthdays, 1 trait; children with 10-12 birthdays, 1-2 traits; and anyone older, 1-3 traits, with no bias towards any particular number. If the pawn's current number of traits is lower than the trait limit, each 'missing' trait is filled in by a random trait, weighed based on each trait's commonality. The randomly gained traits cannot be any of the following:
    • Any sexuality trait (Asexual, Bisexual, or Gay)
    • Wimp, but only if the pawn is from a faction hostile to the player's faction
    • Any that the pawn already has
    • Any that conflict with a trait the pawn already has
    • Any prohibited by the pawn's "pawn kind" or backstories
    • Any that would disable a work type required by the pawn's "pawn kind"
    • Any that requires a work type disabled for the pawn
    • Any that would cause the pawn's minor mental break threshold to rise above 50%
  • If the pawn is at least 13 years old, their sexuality is then determined. If the pawn has any romantic or ex-romantic relationship with someone of the same gender, they acquire the Gay trait. Otherwise, they may be Asexual, Bisexual, Gay, or straight (which is not a trait, merely an absence of the three sexuality traits). The random choice is weighted by each sexuality trait's commonality, or in the case of 'straight/no sexuality trait', weighted by the sum commonality of every non-sexuality trait that the pawn does not currently have. Note that since the Biotech DLC adds two traits with non-zero commonalities, sexuality traits are marginally rarer if Biotech is enabled.
  • Afterward, the pawn's xenotypeContent added by the Biotech DLC (if any) is determined. If certain genes are present, this can affect the pawn's trait set, either adding or suppressing traits.
  • If the starting scenario forces any traits, the pawn gains any such traits. The "Forced trait" scenario part can be configured to apply to all pawns in the game, only the player's starting pawns, or only non-player pawns; it can also be configured to have a chance to trigger per pawn between 0-100%.
  • Finally, if the pawn is a creepjoinerContent added by the Anomaly DLC, it gains any traits granted by its benefit and/or downside.

Starting possessions[edit]

Form Caravan.png
This section is suggested to be moved. Destination: Pawn Selection. Reason: While some of this info can likely be kept in this page, most of it should move to Pawn Selection once that page has been created.

Certain traits may influence the initial possessions of your colonists in the pawn selection menu (either for creating a new game or selecting new colonists after a game over). Unless you have chosen the Naked Brutality start scenario or used the Scenario Editor to add the "no possessions" scenario part, each such colonist may have up to two possessions in their inventory. A stack of items counts as 1 possession. Possessions for each colonist are generated in the following order, ending prematurely if the colonist has two possessions:

  • GhoulsContent added by the Anomaly DLC never have possessions.
  • BabiesContent added by the Biotech DLC have between 30-40 units of baby food.
  • If the colonist is addicted to a drug, they have enough of the drug to satiate the addiction for roughly 25-35 days.
  • If the colonist has a genetic drug dependencyContent added by the Biotech DLC, they have enough of the drug to satiate the dependency for roughly 25-35 days.
  • If the colonist has hemogenic geneContent added by the Biotech DLC, they have 8-12 hemogen packs.
  • If the colonist has an adulthood backstory that can grant possessions, there is a 25% chance for them to have those possessions. Note that, should a backstory be capable of granting multiple possessions, this process will still stop once the colonist has two possessions, and the backstory's possessions are always granted in the order they are defined in the backstory.
  • Traits are accounted for only after all the above steps have been performed. There is a 25% chance for a colonist to receive possessions based on their non-suppressed traits. As with backstories, it is possible for this step to stop midway through once the colonist has two possessions; possessions are always granted in the order the traits present themselves, and per-trait they are granted in the order they are defined in the trait. For example, a pawn with the Psychopath trait has a 25% chance to gain a skull and a heart, but a pawn who already has a prior stack of flake due to a flake addiction would have a 25% chance to only gain a skull.
  • If the colonist still has less than two possessions, there is a 6% chance for them to have a random possession. The list of possible possessions is lengthy, but does not include every possible item in the game.

Trait-affecting genes[edit]

BiotechIcon.png
This section relates to content added by Biotech (DLC). Please note that it will not be present without the DLC enabled.

Certain genes can modify a pawn's traits, either by forcing a trait to be added or suppressing a trait. Forced traits function as normal, though they are visible in the pawn's Bio tab in pale blue text. Suppressed traits do not have any effects, but are still visible in the pawn's Bio tab in dark grey text.

If a forced trait would ordinarily conflict with non-genetically forced trait(s) the pawn already has, the latter is/are suppressed. If it would ordinarily conflict with genetic trait(s) the pawn already has, the latter is/are removed. If a trait-granting gene is removed, the trait will also be removed (unless the pawn already has the trait independent of genes); this un-suppresses any traits it had suppressed which are not suppressed by another gene or trait, and restores any genetically-forced traits that were removed by that gene and which do not conflict with any other trait the pawn has (including suppressed traits). This almost always leads to intuitive results, with one exception: if a pawn has the psychically hyper/sensitive trait, also has the psychically dull/deaf gene in their germline (e.g. due to being a Yttakin), and then has the other psychic sensitivity trait gene in their xenogenes... removal of the xenogene will remove the trait it forces, but it will also not result in the restoration of the other gene's trait and will not un-suppress the psychically hyper/sensitive trait.

    Pyrophobia
    Gene FireTerror.png     		Carriers of this gene have an intense fear of fire. When fires are close, there is a chance they will have a mental breakdown at any moment. Suppresses the Pyromaniac trait
    Kind instinct
    Gene KindInstinct.png     		Carriers of this gene are high in trait agreeableness and are very conscientious. They rarely insult others or starts fights, and will sometimes offer kind words to brighten the moods of those around them. They also never judge people by their appearance. Forces the Kind trait
    Inbred
    Gene Inbred.png     		This genetic condition affects a person's fertility, immunity, and mental capacity. Forces the Slow learner trait
    Psychically deaf
    Gene PsychicallyDeaf.png     		Carriers of this gene are deaf to all psychic energy and influence outside their own minds. They cannot be affected by psychic influence, nor can they ever wield psychic power. Forces the Psychically deaf trait
    Psychically dull
    Gene PsychicallyDull.png     		Carriers of this gene are less psychically-sensitive than others. Forces the Psychically dull trait
    Delicate
    Gene Delicate.png     		Carriers of this gene take greater injuries than others from the same damage. They have thin, brittle bones and less binding molecules in joints and flesh. Forces the Delicate trait
    Extra pain
    Gene ExtraPain.png     		Carriers of this gene feel more pain than others given the same injuries. Neuron activity in the brain's nociception center is amplified, so pain feels extra-intense and fiery. This can be protective, but overall it's considered a negative and makes it hard to push through difficult situations. Forces the Wimp trait

    • General traits[edit]

    These traits are generalized into groups, organized roughly by topic but there are no such groupings laid out formally in the game. There are no relations or prohibitions between traits grouped together here unless noted (e.g. a colonist cannot be both "ascetic", wanting a minimal bedroom, and "jealous" of those with better bedrooms).

    Spectrum traits[edit]

    Theses are groups of related traits, that are inter-related and grouped by degree, creating a "spectrum" of good/bad/better/worse in that specific sphere of behaviour. A colonist can only have one trait from any single related spectrum for these traits, defining whether they are notably outside the norm for, for example, movement speed, or drug interest, or their physical (un)attractiveness.

    Drug desire[edit]

    These traits affect a colonist's likelihood to consume drugs.

    Note that despite the common misconception, chemical fascination and interest pawns no longer randomly go on drug binges independent of mood.

    Unaffected by ideoligious prohibitions that would ordinarily prevent a pawn from taking or administering drugs Content added by the Ideology DLC

    Chemical interest NAME has an unusual interest in chemical sources of enjoyment. Consuming recreational drugs will create a good mood, while abstaining will lead to increasing frustration over time and possible drug binges. S/He will ignore directives to not use recreational drugs, and will consume more than a normal person.

    Creepjoiner traits[edit]

    AnomalyIcon.png
    		This section relates to content added by Anomaly (DLC). Please note that it will not be present without the DLC enabled.

    These traits are never randomly assigned to pawns. They are normally found on creepjoiners, and therefore have powerful positive or negative effects to balance out the other strengths and weaknesses creepjoiners have.

    Positive traits[edit]

    These traits are considered benefits, to compensate whatever mysterious downside haunts the creepjoiner.

    Name Description Effect
    Perfect Memory NAME has outstanding memory, both in terms of retaining information but also muscle memory. His/Her skills will never decay. Skills cannot decay
    Always and only spawns on creepjoiners with the "Perfect Human" benefit, which also comes with the Industrious trait and a starting level of 14-18 for each skill.
    Occultist NAME has deep knowledge of the twisted patterns of dark psychic energy. S/He can study unnatural entities faster than others. S/He will also periodically teach this inhuman knowledge to others when s/he gets the chance. Study Efficiency +100%
    Entity Study Rate +50%
    Can perform an "occult teaching" random social interactions, giving +1 dark research. This has a cooldown of 1 day; when off cooldown, it will always be the next random social interaction chosen.
    Joyous NAME has the ability to make everyone feel better and inspire them to be the best version of themselves. +20 opinion from other pawns
    While not imprisoned or enslaved, +3 mood to all other non-prisoner colonists on the same map who are not currently in a mental break. The effect does not stack even if there are multiple Joyous pawns present. Pawns not of the player's faction cannot receive the mood buff. A Joyous pawn will not grant its mood bonus to anyone it is currently hostile to.
    Always and only spawns on creepjoiners with the "Joybringer" benefit, which precludes the "Disturbing" downside.
    Body Mastery NAME doesn't have basic needs like eating, sleeping, or comfort. His/Her body is driven by some unknown mechanism, which has turned his/her eyes completely white. Food, Sleep, and Comfort needs disabled
    Eyes are white

    Negative traits[edit]

    These traits are downsides, meant to counterblance the creepjoiner's powerful benefits. Note that, unlike most other creepjoiner drawbacks, these traits are never hidden; as such, you be assured there are no other nasty surprises waiting for you.

    Name Description Effect
    Disturbing NAME is a peculiar person who seems fixated on horrendous ideas. Talking to him/her is often upsetting. − : Only ever selects the "strange chat" type when doing random social interactions, giving −2 OTHER rambling mood for 1 day to any non-deaf, non-inhumanized pawns in 9.9 cells radius. Unlike most other interaction types, strange chats can be performed without an explicit recipient. Non-inhumanized recipients gain −3 opinion of the initiator for 1 day.
    + : Gains the Morbid meditation focus type, replacing the Artistic meditation focus type if they had it Content added by the Royalty DLC
    Always and only spawns on creepjoiners with the "Disturbing" downside, which is precluded by the "Joybringer" benefit.

    +6 Captured entity mood while there is at least one captured entity in the colony

    − : Entity liberation breaks randomly occur with an MTB of 60 days
    + : Gains the Void meditation focus type, replacing the Artistic meditation focus type if they had it Content added by the Royalty DLC
