Mind Altering Device

Description
Mind Altering Device
A16 v1.16

Description:
Well howdy fellow Rimworlders!
I’m here to present to you the latest technology in mind altering … technology.
Erhum…
Are you tired of your lousy traits?
Pessimist are you? Lazy perhaps? Maybe a bit abrasive?
Have no fear, the Mind Altering Device is here!
Just give it lots of power, jump in and brace yourself for a brand new start!
Take a look at our first live test or take a look at our pictures above!

But wait, there's more!
With just a little bit more research you'll be able to change your memories as well!
Had a rough childhood?
Unpleasant adulthood?
Change it now!

Usage:
Simple 3 step program:
1 => Install the device using our blueprint.
2 => Provide the device with enough power.
3 => Enjoy your new life!

Honest Description:
This mod was just a test to see how far I could go with Rimworld code and my limited knowledge of C#.
The code is not optimized and is held together with proficient amount of ducktape.
The video might be an exaggeration but I couldn’t resist taking the joke a bit further.

So it's basically a machine, closely resembling the cryptosleep casket.
Order your colonist to step inside and wait for the process to finish.
Your colonist will now have 2 or 3 new random generated traits.
There are side effects to this of course. (you wouldn’t want it to be overpowered would you?)
Closely examine your colonist for any health issues or mood swings before using the device multiple times in a row.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

Incompatibilities:
Minor issue:
CommunityCoreLibrary ~The actual lighting of the MAD will not work due to CCL overriding CompGlower.

(Always make a backup of your world before installing new mods!)

Update:
~~1.16~~
Updated to A16

~~1.15~~
Updated to A15
Added new research that allows the MAD to switch its altering function.
New function added to MAD: You can now randomize your backstory as well.

odd query, can it forcibly make a prisoner into your allies?

The intro video just killed me. Love it

My mistake... The mods I mentioned has some of the functionality of this mod - changing a pawn's traits. But they lack the ability to change a pawn's background (such as having a bad childhood), like this mod did. Also, the [PS] Reconditioning Pod mod can be used to add, remove or change traits.

Albion has an updated version for 1.0. Check out either Sparkling Worlds Addon - Mind Altering Device or Sparkling Worlds - Full Mod . Both of these include the functionality of this mod.

Seems abandoned. Shame. This was an amusing mod.
