What is it about

In the game only Fungoids, Plantoids and Lithoids get unique traits that no other species class has. This is a bit of a problem because at the end of the day there is no difference between them. There is no difference between Arthropods and Mamalian species when it comes to unique traits as they get none. This mod adds over 100 traits, that are divided between all species classes. All of these traits are based on real phenomena, and tropes related to the species class.

A lot of these traits are focused on how they impact or are impacted by the environment they find themselves in and how they impact the environment themselves. As a example Avian, Arthropoid and Aquatic species gain access to the Brood Parasite trait, that increases their pop growth speed at the cost of other species. For a more positive kind of impact we have the Fertilising trait avilable to Plantoids and Fungoids that increases habitability for all by +1%. There is something for even pop bombing connoisseurs with traits like Infertilising, Locusts, Plagued, Vector and Polluting that reduce habitability, but do it in different ways and differing severity.

For now the mod includes:


  • 8 Previously cut negative traits
  • 18 Generic traits for Biological and Lithoid species.
  • 50 Species class specific traits for Biological species.
  • 6 Traits for Lithoid species.
  • 15 Traits for Robot and Machine species.
  • 9 Traits for Presapients.
  • 1 Trait for Hiveminds
  • 1 Optional trait for the Post-Apocalyptic Origin


Performance

This mod might be on the more resource intensive side of things. So if you feel the game lags too much for your taste go and subscribe to the Performance Patch and put it below V_TRAITS in the load order. The Patch disables randomization for traits using triggered modifiers, only allowing custom empires to make use of them.

Compatibility

Files owerwritten: 00_social_classes, 01_gestalt_drones, 02_other_categories, 00_personalities, 00_other_jobs, 02_specialist_jobs, 03_worker_jobs, 04_gestalt_jobs, 06_event_jobs, 08_overlord_jobs
If any mod also overwrites these files, something will most likely break and will require a compatibility patch.

The mod comes with a inbuilt compatibility with Planetary Diversity. In that case put V_TRAITS below Planetary Diversity in the load order.
