More Traits (Taking suggestions)

[TheFlameTouched]

Alright, so I'm slowly working on trying to get a few more traits available to use, just for some more variety, and while I have plenty of ideas that I'm willing to try and implement, there's no way I can think of all the ideas you can come up with. So if there are any traits you'd like to see, let me know and I'll do my best to add them.

Take a look here https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=20166.msg220693#msg220693 for the Trait pack.

Well I would like more traits that give mood boosts when "working", just like Green Thumb. For instance

Animal Lover: Mood boost when taming and extra for being nuzzled.
Artist: Mood boost when crafting and making sculptures.
etc.

I would also like to see more traits that changes others opinion like Ugly, maybe..

Fat: -15 opinion from other colonists, mood boost when eating and -10% movement speed.
Athletic: +15 opinion from other colonists, +20% movement speed and maybe extra melee.
etc.

These are just a few I came up with in like 5 mins, not really balanced. If you like these I could think of more and maybe help you code them.

I'm doing this to teach myself the coding, so thank you for the offer, as it is I'm not looking for balance as much as I'm looking at a more "immersive" trait system, which makes all of your suggestions completely suitable  I will of course try to keep them in line with vanilla stat changes, and am aiming mostly to provide a range in different sectors. e.g. Agoraphobe : Hates wide open spaces, but loves closed areas. (No cabin fever, mood loss outside)

If you want you could make some kind of document and share it with me. I could add more traits as I come up with them and give you feedback on those you've got. Just a suggestion  

[hector212121]

Devout(Lower mood penalties for family/lovers who die, higher penalties for immoral actions, -5 or 10 relations with non devout)
Fanatic(No mood penalty/mood bonus for death of other Fanatic family members, no mood penalty for immoral actions, -15 or 25 to relations with non-fanatics)

Devout is supposed to reflect a 'good' religion, while fanatic is supposed to represent, well, *cults*.

Good idea and shouldn't be too hard to implement, will see if I can add it.

I wouldn't of found that on my own. Thanks!

[Clibanarius]

Oh, hey, since you were asking me for suggestions, I might as well second one I just found in this thread: That Animal Lover one and Artist one seems like a good path to go down! Green Thumb already exists, but seems kinda isolated in what it is; there should be something like that for hunting, smithing, all those. That'd be an idea, anyhow!

@Near

I love the list and will try add some of those in. As is there are some that are similar already incorporated, so the new ones will be in the next version :p

[Admiral Obvious]

If possible, I'd "reword" some of Nears suggestions before actually using them.

I get that this is your mod, but I think the game itself tries to avoid more "abrasive" terms, and you probably should too.

Rapist can probably be replaced with Volatile.
Asshole can be replaced with Jerk.
Retard isn't "politically correct", but I can't think of any more interesting term for it than dumb.

As for my own suggestions.

Arrogant: Takes half the relationship penalty from being insulted/slighted, and receives double the positive effect from "good talks... ecetra". Also has a lower mental break threshold.

Photographic memory: No expiry for events that happen to the character, except for mood related effects, such as "filled with joy" or "feeling terrible". The point would be to emphasize burying/hiding corpses, and to put up decorations.

Unwittingly Psychic: (This one would probably be out of the scope of what you can do.) This colonist unwittingly "projects" their emotion onto whoever passes near to him/her. They are more sensitive to psychic activity, and can influence other colonist moods based on their own mood.

Volatile is already a trait -.-

I've never seen it after about 40 hours...

Not sure why, since it should be somewhat common.

Maybe the trait should just be named "difficult", especially given the connotation that pawns can't reproduce.

American : Must have a gun. the bigger the gun the better mood bonus (random chance of shooting randomly direction)
