I was hoping that some sort of mod that adds traits would exist (that has balanced traits) and here it is! Thankyou for making this super mod!

Nontheless, I'd like to suggest a few ideas:

- Exerciser
LEONARDO never likes to stay in one place, and hates work that makes them sit in one place, they prefer hauling and short-term tasks over construction work.

Colonist is 25% faster than normal.
Colonist prefers short-term tasks (like hauling) over others, and will get a minor mood penalty for doing them. Never can get passions in long-term tasks.

- Bully
RUBY always insults someone to increase their happiness whenever she can, although usually alone with nobody to hear. She dislikes work and is more likely to social fight with others.

Colonist Insults someone atleast once or twice per day, and gets a minor mood buff for doing so, which can stack - and a minor mood penalty for being unable to insult anybody.
Slightly less global work speed.
25% more chance to start a fight with other colonists.

- Peaceful
MAX doesn't like being hateful to each other, and is always kind to other humans, including enemies and animals. They hate fighting - never insult anybody, and is unable to start a social fight.

Colonist has a strong mood debuff when forced to hit someone, even bigger one if forced to kill someone.
Refuses to slaughter animals or humans - unless a cannibal or psychopath, then they can buther humans.
Unable to hunt animals.
Bigger mood penalty when seeing a dead animal or corpse than usually.
Unable to insult.
Unable to start a social fight.
Priorities to rescue downed animals and raiders over any other task if nearby, unless in a toxic fallout or in a raid, but afterwards they will try to rescue them - if not dead.

- Resistant

MAX is suprisingly resistant to starvation, and can suprise around 50% longer without eating food, and stays up longer for 25% more time without much consequence - Although this makes them a little panicky.

Colonist can survive a full day with eating only one or two meals.
Colonist can stay awake for 2 more additional hours without penalties.
Slightly higher chance to have a mental break.

- Insider

ROBOMUMMY loves staying indoors with a little track of rain, but sometimes going outside for a walk through a calm breeze is what they need.

Colonist is immune to "Indoors", but not "Cabin Fever".
Colonist has a medium-large mood bonus when its raining when they're inside.
Colonist has a higher chance to have a mental break.
(Props to Obsidian29 for this suggestion)

- Joyfull

EM has no feelings for sadness, in their childhood coma, their feeling for sadness has been removed, rendering them unable to feel it - but they're inable to do some complex tasks.

Colonist unable to perform "Violence"
Colonist unable to perform "Cooking"
Colonist unable to perform "Intelligence/Research"
Colonist has a 50% additional workspeed to cleaning.
Colonist can never go on a mental break, but their "happiness" metre isn't high enough to cause "Inspirations" - for that you need to give additional mood buffers, like fancy meals and rooms.
Colonist has a "Thankyou." minor mood buff when performing "Social" with others.
Colonist when rescuing a person or animal which is going to die - if they're succesfsull - have a medium-major mood buff, "They don't have to Feel My Pain."

Colonist has a Significantly High mood bonus when their lover proposes to marry them.
Colonist never cheats on their lover/husband/married person.
Colonist 5% more likely to have a mental break.

- Perfectionist

In ROBODAD's eyes, everything has to be perfect. Anything unclean and not in the right place will make HIM go mad, fixing it immediately if possible to do so. Anything that isn't perfect is a disgrace in their eyes and will be unhappy.

Every room of each Colonist has to be atleast the quality of "Decent", if all the rooms are better than "Decent", the Colonist will have a minor mood buff, which lasts forever, as long as the rooms are kept above Decent quality, and if all the rooms are the same quality.

Colonist has 45% more global work speed when doing:
- Building / Deconstruction
- Making Weapons
- Making Art
- Making Clothes / Armour / Shield Belts / etc.

Colonist is unable to have a lover, unless they have the same Torturer trait.

- Technology Inclined

MAX loves technology, and absolutely dreams about getting good prosthetics - but no peg leg will satisfy his transhumanist needs. Although the longer they aren't near technology or have prosthetics, they will progressively get unhappier until they reach the minor break threshold.

Colonist is happy with technological prosthetics (such as a Bionic Leg) but hates simple prosthetics like peg legs - instead having a minor mood penalty.

Colonist has a +6 mood bonus when watching telivision - but only a +3 mood bonus when they're "bored" of it.

- Technology Disinclined

GRANDMA doesn't quite understand technology, and believe it isn't good for the human body. They don't mind simple prosthetics, simple power things (such as lights and workbenches) but is confused by prosthetics (such as Bionic Legs) - and gets a -7 mood debuff when having one or two bionics, but slowly progresses into a slightly possitive mood bonus after some time.

Colonist has a major mood penalty when installed with complicated prosthetics (such as Bionic Legs or Arms) but it slowly turns into a slightly possitive mood bonus after some time.
Colonist slightly likes telivision, unless they're bored of it.
Colonist doesn't mind workbenches, lights or anything simple that requires power.
Colonist has a -35 mood penalty when consuming drugs - unless they have an addiction.

- Bloodline Architect

BOB is an architect that never leaves work not completed. He won't rest until whatever he was working on is complete. He only accepts construction as a carreer and dislikes doing anything else. He knows how to construct things perfectly to the perfect size of wood and strength.

I realize that the mod has 2 similar traits already like this already, but this is just a suggestion thread, so might as well :D

It's possible to add tiny dividers at traits pick/ban window? And tooltips with mouse over about traits to get clue what this trait about, please?

Mood buff from being outside
Mood debuff from being inside

If 80% or more of allowed area is indoors (roofed or unroofed), may panic

+1 quality boost to objects created with gold stuff
Mood debuff from selling gold or gold stuff objects

I've been spinning gears on my own trait mod for a while, but the notes sound more promising in your hands. I entrust them to you; use them to steer the future of the Rimworlds in the right direction.

• Arrogant
  
• KURT has an inflated opinion of XERself. This gives XER an aura of confidence that draws people in at first, but makes XER considerably more likely to put others down.

These traits are a bit strange to implement, but give us a rare incentive to specialize different pawns in different weapon types. These are only viable if we have a way to discriminate different weapon types(spears vs. swords, etc;) even across mods.

• Pistolero
  
• MCCREE is an ace when it comes to single-handed firearms, and can train XER sights on targets much more quickly when using them.

• Gains +10 mood, +20% accuracy, and -20% aim delay when using a bow.

• ARAN is most at ease using weapons with long handles. XE uses them to keep foes at distance, improving XER survivability.
  
• Gains +5 mood and +30 dodge chance when holding an Ikwa or Spear
  
  
• Axeman

• Gains +5 mood and has a higher chance to ignore target armor when holding an axe or hatchet.
  
  
  
• Clubber
  
• CONAN loves the thrill of bashing foes senseless with blunt weapons. The force has a chance to cause enemies to stagger./i]
  
• Gains +10 mood and has a chance to stun the target on hit when holding a mace or club.
  
  
• Weeaboo
  
• GENJI has an excessively romantic ideal of what it means to wield a sword. This obsession is often seen as somewhat disturbing by others. Unless, of course, they too are also fanciful about it.
  
• +10 mood when holding a gradius or longsword.
  
• -5 opinion from other colonists, but +8 from colonists with Weeaboo.
  
  
  
• Milquetoast
  
• FAWKES isn't the toughest or bravest individual. XE goes down faster than most.

• Will never accidentally set off landmines or IEDs
  
• Greatly Increased accuracy with grenade-type weapons
  
• Increased accuracy and loading speed with mortars and artillery.
  
  
• Unhindered
  
• JOHN seems to be a natural at wearing otherwise cumbersome armor. XE is able to move at the same speed in heavy plate as if they were wearing nothing at all.
  
• No speed malus from armor.

I have yet to use the mod(need to clear my schedule to get into Rimworld), but I do have some suggestions and observations judging from the traits presented so far:

• Big-boned should deal damage to chairs instead of breaking them. I don't care how many sandwhiches you eat; you shouldn't be able to accidentally break a Plasteel chair in one sitting.
  
• Vengeful pawns have a special relationship with guilty pawns: they shouldn't suffer a mood malus when guilty prisoners die, are executed, tortured, or harvested. If anything, they gain mood from these incidents.
  
• Being one myself, I can tell you that absentminded people are usually this way because they are always thinking. This can be reflected in Rimworld by secretly giving them a significantly higher rate of inspiration.
  
• Eccentric people are, by definition, not ordinary. For better and worse, their personalities stick out, and this can be reflected in giving them doubled social impact.

I second the traits in the above post. I love all of those.

Grammer suggestion.
I don't find "Brave" the right word for it's description and effects. Seeing as it's even stronger than Iron-willed + higher pain threshold, I'd personally use something along the lines of "Dogged." "Headstrong," (<== Fits nice with the description) or "Bullheaded" comically.
Thank you for considering.

I have a UI suggestion, if it's not already been suggested: In the trait enable/disable menu, it'd be very nice for a pop to appear when you hover on a trait, giving it's description and effects. It's a hassle to guess from the trait names what it does, and for mods that don't have pages describing what traits they add (like Psychology) it'd be very convenient. Maybe alongside that, some description of what mod added the trait?

- Misanthrope -
Hates their fellow man equally. Gets a mood debuff for every other Pawn in the colony. Higher tendency to insult people. Doesn't mind being mean to prisoners or anything like that.

- Cynical -
Expect the worst and you won't be disappointed. Positive mood debuffs are halved, but so are negative ones. Have trouble doing social stuff.

- Pacifist -
Get a mood debuff if holding a weapon. Killing Pawns grants more mood debuff. Basically works like a reverse bloodlust.

Suggested Trait
