I always had jogger in high regard and avoided slowpoke... It says -0.2 move speed... But, on summary its, over the base speed of 4.60:
Jogger: +8.7%
Fast walker: +4.35%
Slowpoke: -4.35%

Honestly, while its nice to have hte good ones, they arent that important, neither the bad one is that important... I dont understand why you put the raw numbers, you should put the % instead. 4% speed is almost nothing. You do put the % in drill arm, hand talon, etc, says directly -8% move speed.

You should do the same with other similar topics, for example beauty. Traits and parts say "gives +1 beauty", like, what the hell is that? How it affects pawns? Beautiful trait says "it affects social interactions", but then the social impact stat says nothing about beauty. I have read somewhere that every point of beauty is +10 opinion of others... Why just not say that in the trait?.

It feels so wrong that every time I want to know how something works SLIGHTLY i have to go data mining or using a goddamn calculator.

Maybe the moving offset isn't a fixed percent, for example you need 13 ticks to move one grid normally(i.e. 60ticks/13ticks=4.6grid/sec), and if you are walking on the ice, you need another 12ticks. What i just want to say is the 8.7% might be the normal case, in other scenario, this percentage will change. It can't be a exact description in the text.
As for beauty, it doesnt affects social stat, it's relative with more deep things. For example, the prob of two pawns' romance attempt, opinions etc.
