Absurd traits and dumb limitations

[Wheatley]

Maybe instead of disabling skills all together, they could get mood penalties for doing things they don't want to do?

Pawns Are Capable! by RimRue replaces "incapable of" restrictions with a set of traits that provide work speed and/or mood penalties when pawns are stuck doing tasks they don't like.

I think one of the easiest ways to make a soft penalty is to make an opposite of the Interest/Passion for skills. Disinterested/Hating a task gives a mood malus and penalty to learning, the exact opposite of a passionate pawn.

Isn't it already only 33% learning for anyone without passion? I've always interpreted this as disinterest. A malus value to learning would make it almost impossible to improve at all.

I'm adjusting some of the work disable proportions for next update.

Thanks. The concept was never the problem, the amount of them was.

Pawns are humans? from a distant future..you cant apply current values and motivations to them. These restrictions enhance the story and you are free to completely remove certain traits with the scenario editor. I usually increase the the possibility of a pyro because forest fires are cool.

I agree the proportions were the issue. Instead of 25% of people being unable to lift a stick IRL it's more like 10%

And these people even when they hate it will do it to save their lives 99.9% of the time.

Maybe a new stat buff could come into play if starving or bleeding moderate + where a pawn is now unrestricted in all regards.
