Just a small mod that introduces 35 48 49? 53 (May of miscounted) new traits into the game. The new traits are aimed mostly at making your pawns more interesting and more capable, all at once. The traits are a mixture of traits and mini backstories but they all fall under the trait section. For now they mostly add skill bonuses and de-buffs according to their classes but a few do have other effects. (I'm still learning.) All traits will appear on all pawns, however quite a few traits cancel each other out, and others are rare enough to have a relatively low spawn rate.

Included on this page are other small mods of mine, such as the Grenade fix (updated to A15 by Dingo) and a Stun turret mod (which will soon become a full set of "non-lethal" weapons.)

Stun Turret: Adds a single turret, that will knock enemies out. Due to limitations with the hediff's stun turrets can in fact be lethal and can kill instead of stunning. However, my own testing has shown a roughly 60% chance to stun instead of kill. Mileage may vary since damage resistance, previous consciousness levels and the amount of times hit with a stun bullet can vary the chances of death.

Stun turrets have limited range and fire in single shots. Two stun rounds should incapacitate a target, and anymore will result in a kill. It is not recommended to use these against your own pawns, due to the inconsistencies caused by numerous features.

Grenade fix has been removed and a link to Grenade Fix Reloaded by Dingo has been provided.

Compatibility: The Expanded Traits Pack will work with any other mod, except if they introduce a trait, mental state or related Def with the exact same name as mine. The Grenade and Launchers Fix will work
with any mod that doesn't change the same lines they do. And finally the Stun turret mod will be compatible with absolutely every mod, unless they completely redo the way turrets and hediffs are treated by the game.

License: Feel free to include it in any mod-packs and mods that you want to as long as you give credit. No monetization in any way please.

Savegame friendly? Will like to try it out.  :)

Yes  , unless there's already a mod that modifies Thoughts_SocialConditional or Thoughts_Memories. Even then it shouldn't cause too much trouble

As Razor said, and they should occur frequently in terms of if you look at a trade caravan, at least one will have a new trait.

How about this one:

Insomniac: Needs less sleep but is always tired and works a bit slower as a result (+20% rest efficiency, -10% work efficiency)

Believe it or not but I've already considered something like that, however I can't do C# coding which would be required for that. Maybe later when I've had time to learn

What the HELL, I just came to this thread to post this exact idea. Although my thought was have them TIRE less, rather than sleep more efficiently/effectively. I just want something that makes my pawns less reliant on sleep and food. Going back home to sleep interrupts their mining too much! :P

I'll definitely be taking a crack at attempting to do something with insomnia, seeing as everyone suggests it :p

Seeing as how traits matter way more than backgrounds, I say this mod'll be important in the future. Just keep thinking up creative things to throw in there. Ask for help from some of the more experienced modders if you need to, if implementation isn't at your current skill/knowledge level. This community is pretty open and awesome, in my experience.

Yea they are pretty helpful and friendly. I actually started this so I could learn more about the coding and implementing. I should (if nothing breaks) have at least 20 or so new traits available later today.

Clibanarius

Later today? Damn, that's some good turn-around time.

This is why I'm asking for suggestions, I have a bit of time on my hands and I don't need sleep either :p.
