Hip hip for Swenzi, who was willing to update the mod in my stead. I've made the relevant changes to the Ludeon and Steam postings linking to your updated mod.

You also have my full consent and go-ahead to update the Gods and Heroes update.

See your message box for a suggestion when doing so.

Just to clarify, the 2.1 update isn't save-game breaking, none of those items are a part of my mod. The only change people reported after the update is that their pawns had a randomly assigned trait added to them.

People have been requesting that I upload a version with the Gods and Heroic traits, so attached is the old file (with a new name.) Pick one, don't turn them both on because they'll override each other.

Heavy Sleeper was renamed to fix that compatibility issue. Thanks for the report!

Introducing THOUGHTS!

Version 2.0, professions!

• CarefulSurgeon: NAME is a pretty good surgeon, but they takes a bit more time to complete an operation.
  
• ProfessionalStoneCutter: NAME likes to cut boulders down to size. Their stone cutting speed is greatly increased, but their lack of passion for other crafts slows them down.

• FastMiner: NAME knows how to exploit the cleavage of rocks. They don't understand why plants are so much more fragile, though.

[Additional Traits]

Have you ever felt that there aren't enough traits to immersify your game-play? Well, I've got just the mod for you with Additional Traits! Introducing a wide selection of traits that'll make your game fun and interesting.

These new traits will have a major impact on the variety of pawns you'll be getting.

A list of traits added by this mod can be found here or by scrolling down further: https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=29661.msg300473#msg300473


Requires:
Nothing. I recommend having EdB Prepare Carefully so you can choose what traits your starting pawns get, but pawns have a chance to have these traits just by randomizing them.

Acknowledgements:
Thanks to DaemonDeathAngel for showing me that traits can be modified via XML.
Everyone on the modding Discord for encouraging me to continue.

Feedback:
At the time, I'm unable to make modifications and updates to the Additional Traits mod. Thank you for your support!

Downloads:
- Recommended: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=844563435 A17 version by Swenzi
- Github: https://github.com/yliankuo/Additional-Traits

Installation:
- Save-game compatible!
- Unzip into your RimWorld/Mods folder.
- Activate in the in-game mods menu and restart the game. Newly created pawns have a chance to have the new traits!

Update Log:
1/17/2017: Release of version 1.0! Removed Social Impact from Near-sighted trait. Accidentally left that in there.
1/18/2017: Release of version 1.1, introducing thought-impacting traits! Re-balanced commonality of traits so you'll see new traits slightly less frequently. Grammar fixes, some description edits. Hotfix: Confident was making colonists easier to break.
1/19/2017: Release of version 2.0, adding over 20 new traits. New traits are separated into two classes, professional and heroic. Professional traits make a pawn perform well in one particular skill, but their others suffer as a result. Heroic traits are incredibly rare, and a heroic pawn can completely affect the progress of your colony. You'd better hope that the God of War isn't raiding you.
1/22/2017: Made several changes to traits because they weren't working as intended.
1/24/2017: Removed Godly and Heroic traits, rebalanced other traits. Fixed compatibility issue with Psychology, I think.
6/24/2017: With my permission, Swenzi has updated the mod to A17. The updated mod can be found in the links above.


License stuff:
Feel free to tear this one apart to learn how traits are coded in XML or use it in a mod pack or whatever. Just give me some credit if you post the whole thing elsewhere, or a little tagline if I've inspired you somehow!

Current plans:
- None.

Note:
The gods and heroes update introduced new traits that make a pawn, well, godly. If you don't spawn one in via Prepare Carefully, however, note that it only has a fraction of a chance to spawn.

Does a snowman built this way increase joy?

Hey guys! I was fiddling around with the Stun Gun mod, and I noticed that consciousness debuffs and downing enemies has a tendency to autokill. I wanted a stun mod that would restrain an escaping prisoner or a berserking colonist. so I fiddled with the defs of the Stun Gun and came up with this.

What it essentially does is what every big cat does to your chickens, except 100% nonlethal.

Warning: This weapon does 0 direct damage. Don't give it to a hunting colonist or anyone you want to actually kill something. It won't down anyone by itself, either, so you won't be capturing prisoners en masse with it either. It was designed solely for restraining prisoners so someone could walk over with a club to beat them into submission and berserking colonists.

I'm using your Misc Objects mod and I noticed I can't uninstall weapons from a turret. Is this intended or is my thing bugged?

I'm using the Misc. Objects mod and I'm trying to use the nano replicator. It doesn't seem very intuitive. I can't control what goes in it as a material, and I've lost a few supreme guns/valuable equipment to its aggressive nomming. Am I missing a stockpile options page? I don't have any option to choose what goes inside it.

Saving and exiting while the 3d printer is printing seems to clear its memory, too. I was 3D printing an item and save/exited to remove better pathfinding to test something and I checked the printer, it no longer had the item in memory.

Odd. I'll look into it further, it could just be my mod load order. Thanks for your response!~

I was super excited to see the mod updated on steam! Thanks a lot for your hard work Rikiki!

Wow, Polar Sea Ice challenge isn't so bad anymore.

Just tried it, on implantation, I had this error thrown at me. It did remove pyromaniac, which was neat.

So it sounds to me like this mod can prevent mental breaks, including those done by pyromaniacs and drug addicts. I'm really tempted to try this mod out! I'll go ahead and test it out and give you some feedback.

Nerve Staple sounds weird, and the mood effect bonus called Stapled Nerves sounds even odder since it's a positive mood boost. Hernias are basically impacted nerves, and those hurt like a truck!
Couple of suggestion names: Brain worm, mindwire, euphoria.
Suggestion effect name to go with name: brain wormed, wired mind, euphoric

I experienced some trouble with these bulk recipe mods, they aren't compatible with miniaturization, the mod that allows you to minify workbenches. Do you know of a way to make the two compatible? They modify the same xml file, which i suspect is why they're incompatible. Happy new year!
