Traits you NEVER allow in your base

[mar3usmc]

As the title says, what traits do you NEVER permit in your base, regardless of how good the other traits and talents are.

Personally, I refuse any dupe with the following

Loud Sleeper: I know this isn't that big of a deal, but I just don't want to be bothered using a different barracks set up.

Narcolepsy: I just can't stand this one. I tried it once, and it was very irritating. I had to micro that dupe all the time; forced them to move to wake them up.

Yokel: Intelligence is the best skill as you can learn OTHER skills faster. You can't train this up with scientist if you have this talent, and it also limits late game jobs.

Bottemless Stomach and Mouth Breather: Not at the start, but maybe late game. These are traits that basically make a dupe consume 50% and 100% extra food and oxygen respectively. You can have 2 dupes instead for the price of one.

Flatulent: Not the worst thing in the world, sorta free energy, but I like to keep my gases organized and this ruins that. OCD

for loud sleeper i make shift so their next bed is empty when the loud sleeper sleep, it's an area no need to make him a room.

I like to do Flatulent only runs, its added extra challenge and you can go very long stretches without getting a new dupe. And you can give them cute gassy names like Lady Stinkbottom and Gassy Cassie.

But absolute no-gos;
Unconstructive
Tryptophobia
Yokel

I will occasionally be willing to accept a Narcoleptic dupe if they have enough positives, but otherwise find them annoying.

All the others are fine. Loud Sleeper is welcome, since they all have single bed rooms from the very beginning anyways,

I'm interested in hearing more about this? What are the pros and cons you found starting them with their own bedrooms and what do they normally look like from start, finish and in between?

There are no real "pros" to this.
I just do it because i hate sleeping in the same room as others myself, so i make them nice bedrooms. Usually a bed, a statue, two pictures and a flower pot. Later upgraing it to a comfy bed obviously.

Well, i can take loud sleepers. That is a pro i guess. ;-)
The game is pretty easy once you figure out what to do. And i have done dozens of restarts.
Just avoid using electricity and water, move to shrooms for food asap and everything else is pretty smooth sailing. Enough wiggle room to do whatever i want to do, including building oversized single bed rooms.

Is anybody else doing full narcoleptic team? I've done it a few times in the past. I wonder if they've adjusted this in recent patches...

Why is everyone so quick to hate on narcolepts?

I first didn't think of narcolepts that bad. Having a short nap from time to time, if other traits outweight it, why not.

Then I started to notice some very annoying behavior, and upon some more stalking, it turned out to be a pretty big deal.
When they go for a nap, they stop their job, thus -not only wasting their own time getting there, but also wasting another dups time running there and eventually having to pick up the item that narcoleptic dropped when falling asleep.
That kind of waste of time sometimes is a pretty big deal.


As for other annoying traits:
- loud sleeper I started to deal with by picking the right time to sleep.
- farting around is a dealbreaker if you want your base to look nicely clean (and smell good, lul) - but I mostly go for bases with open bottom (so CO2 and natural gas doesn't matter)
- mouth breather I try to avoid, unless they can do work of 2 dupes.
- slow learner I also avoid at all costs.
