So out of curiousity, does the natural psionics trait allow non-spiritualist empires to research psionics?

Looking at the files, it doesn't seem so.

Is there a way to add/remove traits via console? I keep getting "trait not found" every time I try these new traits. Vanilla traits works fine.

The mod description should still include the note on the change, but in order to ensure compatibility I've used the naming pattern trait_svafa_ followed by the traits name. This way two trait_violent or trait_abhorrent or whatever won't conflict should another mod or the base game use the same name. Bloodthirsty is the only exception, being named trait_svafa_violent in the files.

I've updated the list using NordikaMan's formatting, as well as adding the trait keys for console commands.

"Cannibalistic (-2): -10% Growth Speed, -5% Other Species Happiness
- Members of this species practice cannibalism and see nothing wrong with it, much to the chagrin of their neighbours.
- trait_svafa_cannibalistic"

You probably don't want the word "chagrin" here. That means "distress from being humiliated", specifically, rather than "distress" in general.

Can we have a new trait called. "Queens"
The basic idea is that the Majority of this race's Pops is Created by just a Fraction of the populace or just a few individuals. Think how Ants, Bees, Wasps, and Termites, have queens that Give birth to the whole colony by them selves. And if they die. the Colony will die, Unless a replacement is found.

I was thinking maybe this could be done by a combination of these 2 traits you listed.
1) Drone Mentality, 2) Parthenogenetic.
But if you have a better or cooler idea for how this trait could work. I would love to hear it. :)

OOO. Here is an idea for the "Queens" Trait.
1) Leaders of all kinds get a character trait that Boosts Pop Growth Massively. But now your Race can't Create pops normally. So the more leaders you have the Greater your pop Growth is, in that Sector/system/Planet.
2) Also All Leaders can Now Produce Troops right where they are at. Even if they are a Science ship, An Admiral with a fleet, Or a General with Troops on a Planet(even while attacking or defending,)
3) This race Trait Could Give a special Colony ship. Called "Young Queens Escort". Which Puts a special pop on a planet, that pop would have a trait called "Queens". Where they Give a Massive boost to Pop Growth. But all other Pops that are made after the planet is colonized, has a Trait called Infertile. Meaning they will not make new pops by them selves. also if your queen pops die. You can replace them. in the same way, as how the tree of Life Origin replaces a New sapling tree if the one you all ready had is destroyed.
4) I guess maybe this Trait could have similarities with the Tree of Life . But these are just My ideas what are your thoughts? :)
5) Your Administrative Buildings Replace some administrators with Queens. Who Buff Pop Growth, and Give some thing else. Like Stability or some thing.
