[[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.
 +
 +
== Mechanics ==
 +
{{Stub|section=1|reason=How traits work, when and how they're selected, how they work with genes, limits, etc.}}
 +
A human pawn can be generated with up to 3 traits, which are selected based on the weights of each one. Sexuality traits are special insofar as can be assigned even after all the normal traits were already selected, allowing for rare 4-trait pawns.
 +
 +
Some [[backstories]] will force or prevent certain traits from being chosen, as will certain [[genes]].
  
−
Traits grant special bonuses or conditions to your colonists in addition to adding flavor and allowing more complex player-conceived stories based on those characters.
+
{{Biotech}}
 +
A gene with a '''forced trait''' will forcibly add said gene to the pawn in question, limiting the available traits if this happens upon pawn generation. If the gene is removed afterwards, the force trait will be removed as well with no replacement.

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).

== 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.

This article is a stub. You can help RimWorld Wiki by expanding it. Reason: Creepjoiner traits, likely in their own section due to unique mechanics.
AncientTerminal east.png
This page has been suggested for recoding. Reason: 1) Use of Template: Thought 2) add links to genes that force traits from the traits that they force - dealer's choice as to hoe thats implemented (e.g. new column vs wffect entry etc.). You can help RimWorld Wiki by improving it.
Traits preview.png

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.

Mechanics[edit]

StumpChoppedA (cropped).png
This section is a stub. You can help RimWorld Wiki by expanding it. Reason: How traits work, when and how they're selected, how they work with genes, limits, etc..

A human pawn can be generated with up to 3 traits, which are selected based on the weights of each one. Sexuality traits are special insofar as can be assigned even after all the normal traits were already selected, allowing for rare 4-trait pawns.

Some backstories will force or prevent certain traits from being chosen, as will certain genes.

BiotechIcon.png
This article relates to content added by Biotech (DLC). Please note that it will not be present without the DLC enabled.

A gene with a forced trait will forcibly add said gene to the pawn in question, limiting the available traits if this happens upon pawn generation. If the gene is removed afterwards, the force trait will be removed as well with no replacement.

Currently, there are 6 instances:

Gene Forced trait Prevents/supresses
Psychically deaf
Gene PsychicallyDeaf.png 		Psychically deaf Other Psychic Sensitivity
spectrum traits
Psychically dull
Gene PsychicallyDull.png 		Psychically dull Other Psychic Sensitivity
spectrum traits
Kind instinct

Psychopath
Delicate
Gene Delicate.png 		Delicate Tough
Extra pain
Gene ExtraPain.png 		Wimp Brawler
Masochist
Inbred
Gene Inbred.png 		Slow learner Too smart
Fast learner

Singular Traits[edit]

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[edit]

One likes what one likes...

Name Commonality Description Effect Possessions Conflicting Traits
Night owl 1.3 {PAWN_nameDef} likes to be up during the night, and sleep during the day.

This section relates to content added by Anomaly (DLC). Please note that it will not be present without the DLC enabled.

These traits are never randomly assigned to pawns. They are normally found on creepjoiners, and therefore have powerful positive or negative effects to balance out the other strengths and weaknesses creepjoiners have.

Perfect memory, Occultist, Joyous, and Body mastery are considered benefits, to compensate whatever mysterious downside haunts the creepjoiner.

Disturbing and Void fascination are considered downsides, meant to counterblance the creepjoiner's powerful benefits. Note that, unlike most other creepjoiner drawbacks, these traits are never hidden; as such, you be assured there are no other nasty surprises waiting for you.
