nudist is the dumbest trait....

Freezing to death, but NAH I don't want to wear clothing.... Stupid.

[dengeist]

Nudists can wear clothes.

He knows that. He's just saying, that the perk is stupid because they will get a mood penalty while wearing clothes, something necessary in the winter.

[KalkiKrosah]

The mood penalty is small in the grand scheme of things, but it does make starts harder.

Nudists, pyromaniacs, nyctophobics (yeah, go look that one up... it is a thing in Rimworld if not a defined trait), transhumanists, and on and on...
Gawd lol... sometimes I swear Rimworld is the sorriest assortment of misbegotten social misfits! I often believe that whatever ship they rode in on and crashed from was the galactic mental institution transporter. It's either that or somebody back on Earth had this bright idea of purging mankind and dumping all of these misfits into space far from home ;)

Unless its really cold a good wool tuque will deal with the problem without upsetting them.

[Serge]

U get like -3 if the dude has clothes but like +20 if he is naked WITH a woolcap, if decent quality he is still safe to - ~20.
So where is your very point?

[Maht]

Nudists don't have to be outside when it's cold.

It may not be ideal, but that's the nature of traits.

Personally, I understand where the nudists are coming from...

I really think nudist is a good trait. They get some small penalty in normal time, but after they shot you just strip them and they get a huge boost when they are much more likely to break.

Just be grateful he doesn't have nomophobia cause in this game he would certainly misplace his mind. I would give him wooden legs to show the others in the group that ignorance will not be tolerated.

@grapplehoeker
Ha! I love the idea of them coming from a galactic mental institution transporter. Its got a good ring to it. It sure would make sense too. Send those psychos to the rimworlds and let whatever god who watches out that way sort them out. Or they can eat each other, either way we win not having them around here anymore.

Since it's such a small debuff, it makes a really nice character enhancement for flavor/roleplaying. If it was a larger penalty, it would be a pretty bad attribute, bordering on "broken."

[dengeist]

I thought they didn’t get the debuff when they wear tribalwear?

[CellNav]

Any TRAIT by themselves is easy to manage, it's when we get multiple traits throwing that curve ball at us ... Some players want the pitcher to throw slow balls all the time and they cannot stand a spit ball now and then .... :/ ... but most players have their solutions with regards to non-slow balls.

[kevinshow]

I always equip my nudists the same way. I figure protection from weather or .. bullets and sharp weapons ... is a good enough reason for them to be a little upset.

[davetlow]

My nudists always put clothes on when they were uncomfortable or something. I always missed it, but they would have clothes on and the little debuff, so they had their DS duster or whatever on like everyone else, but when it counted and you put them in the hospital you could strip them out and it was never anything more than a positive to have a nudist. If they're under stress, put them in the rec room and take their clothes off! I have had my own mental stress from being a perfectionist but seeing this little debuff on my guy that normally performs as a posistive when it counts... hard to understand.

True, having a nudist can be a pain in the butt to deal with, but I have gotten around the issue by setting up a zone just for them that keeps them inside during the freezing winter months.
Only slight problem with this is that they actually get cabin fever after a while, and go a little bonkers....which also makes for good entertainment. :P
Assign them to nothing but cooking or other crafting keeps them inside most of the time as well.
I think having a nudist trait is an excellent "flavour enhancer" as it were, and makes for interesting, if weird gameplay. :)
