New Trait :

Messy

...

And they can also have random mental breaks where they trash everything around them

[b0rsuk]

Make Luciferium craftable from human meat.
(actually cannibal colony players would love it)

[Greep]

Make a release that automatically comes with random mods that are autochecked to **** with people

Also:  Thought the thread title was a statement not a suggestion haha.

Add a new trait called 'Backwards' - that 1% of people in your colony which you won't regret 'forgetting' to build the table for. Randy Random has a higher chance of generating pawns with this trait.

Clue's somewhat in the name: Backwards people will get positive thoughts where others get negative, and vice-versa... examples?

A normal person: Got married to JohnDoe123 +50
A backwards person: Got married to JohnDoe123 -50

A normal person: Insulted -5
A backwards person: Insulted +5

A normal person: Alcohol withdrawal -35
A backwards person: Alcohol withdrawal +35

A normal person: Ate without table -3
A backwards person: Ate without table +3

and so on...

What if this and masochist is combined?

Does it kind of, make them normal?

A backwards masochist would experience the same negative moodlet an that an ordinary person would. Same with backwards ascetics that live in pig-sties.

Bullshit research
Some people are so bad at research they actually research false, dead-end theories. 2500 into Charged Shot you discover your researcher had a fake degree and was making stuff up. You have to start researching that from scratch.

When your research bench is destroyed, you lose your notes and entire scientific progress.

The first one could genuinely make it into the game as a trait. Unironically.

Semi-legit, but not serious enough for a thread:  TROJAN CARAVANS!

In the same vein as mechanoid spy event:  Any caravan or visitor, summoned or not, has a chance to instead turn rogue upon entering your base, using a steal and leave agenda with sapper ability.  If it was a caravan and summoned, the actual legit caravan comes moments later.

Colonists with backgrounds like Courtesan, Sex Slave, Urbworld Pimp etc could be sent to another faction's base to earn money. The downside is that it periodically causes shitstorms in media, RPS and so on.

And of course a few weeks after when they get back....

Colonist infected with Herpes!

I would pay for special plant seeds. Imagine genetically engineered seeds that let me grow finite number of special plants - more potent herbal medicine, fancy decorative plants, bonsai, fruit trees, etc. Only they are terminator seeds. Genetically engineered to never produce offsprings and seeds, just fruit or adult specimen.

Rarely, instead of terminator seeds, you get dropped Terminator seeds because of a bookkeeping error, and the sees grow into Scythers and Centipedes that try to attack your colony.

(Not a comment on the quality of the original idea, which I think is pretty cool.)

notification sound when a colonist levels up

This .. but with additional music, sparkle effects and a qte to get more xp.

[Eric]

"Magician" background for colonists that allows them to pull rabbits out of hats, fake their own deaths, escape from near-death situations and end up safe at home, and more
