[[File:traits_preview.png|right]]'''Traits''' personalize and add flavor to your colonists by granting a wide variety of special bonuses or conditions to their day to day activities, and so encourage more complex player-conceived stories based on those individual characters.  Traits provide physical or psychological abilities or limitations, likes/dislikes, behavior tendencies, personality quirks, and so on.  Some are beneficial, some are harmful to the colonist or your colony as a whole.  Some are constant, some only rarely triggered.  Some can be more or less easily negated or manipulated to your advantage by catering to them (or denying them), others are more problematic or outright dangerous.

== General traits ==
These traits are generalized into groups, organized roughly by topic but there are no such groupings laid out formally in the game. There are no relations or prohibitions between traits grouped together here unless noted (e.g. a colonist cannot be both "ascetic", wanting a minimal bedroom, ''and'' "jealous" of those with better bedrooms).

=== Lifestyle ===
One likes what one likes...

* Uniquely to them, Gay/Bisexual/Asexual sexuality traits are the only ones that can generate after 3 traits limit, resulting in rare pawns with 4 traits. 
* And see also the [[Traits#Beauty|Beauty]] category of traits, below.

== Spectrum traits ==
Theses are groups of related traits, that are inter-related and grouped by degree, creating a "spectrum" of good/bad/better/worse in that specific sphere of behaviour. A colonist can only have one trait from any single related spectrum for these traits, defining whether they are notably outside the norm for, for example, movement speed, or drug interest, or their physical (un)attractiveness.

=== Drug desire ===
These traits affect a colonist's likelihood to consume drugs.

Note that despite the common misconception, chemical fascination and interest pawns randomly no longer go on [[mental break|drug binges]] independent of [[mood]]. <!-- Dated but important to clarify that it was previously true so reliable evidence in the past doesn't show it as wrong, just since outdated. -->
