Mod contains three versions: Vanilla - balanced to play with base game/traits. Dynamic - balanced for playing with the Dynamic Traits mod. Mini - contains only traits with +1 to missing skills and…

Mod contains three versions:

  • [h1]Dynamic - balanced for playing with the Dynamic Traits mod.[/h1]
  • [h1]Mini - contains only traits with +1 to missing skills and balanced with base game/traits.[/h1][/list]
  • [h1]You only need to choose one of them![/h1]
  • Installing Dynamic Traits mod is not necessary if using the Vanilla version.
  • I highly recommend using the Vanilla version everywhere except playing with the Dynamic Traits mod. The main reason is the balance of traits cost.
  • The mod works in single player and multiplayer 41.71+
  • Please rate the mod for promotion. Thank you <3

  • Main purpose of the mod is about to expand the standard set of traits by adding balanced and understandable traits, which you can use in many variety of builds to improve your game experience.
  • Fair gameplay is core: every trait cost or give a balanced amount of points.
  • Mod contains:
  • - Traits icons in the style of the original game (drawn by me with love);
  • - Added missing traits (+1 for skills): Foraging, Cooking, Trapping, Carpentry, Metalworking, Mechanic, Electrical, Lightfooted, Nimble, Sneak, Maintenance, Axes, Short Blades, Short Blunt, Long Blades, Spears, Aiming and Reloading.
  • - New positive traits:
  • [list][*]"Marathon Runner": +1 Fitness; +1 Running; can run a little longer without getting tired.
  • "Relentless": +1 Strength; +1 Nimble; have a chance to consume less endurance while attacking with melee weapons.
  • "Way of the Ninja": +1 Sneak; +1 Lightfoot; restores endurance while sneaking.
  • "Mushroom picker": increased chance to find mushrooms in search mode; can recognize poisonous mushrooms and berries; + 1 Foraging.
  • "Taut": +1 Strength; +1 Fitness.
  • "Thick Blood": reduced bleeding damage.
  • "Sniper": +3 Aiming
  • "Generator Expert": can operate and fix generators.
  • "Accumulated Metabolism": +30% XP for Strength and Fitness if not hungry.
  • "Optimist": Bored less. Can resist depression for long time.[/list]
  • - New negative traits:
  • "Slack": -1 Strength, -1 Fitness;
  • "Weather Sensitive": headaches while raining or when the weather changes.
  • "Panic Attacks": sometimes suffers from panic attacks. any panic passes slower.
  • "Allergic": sneezes involuntary from time to time.
  • "Depressive": Often sad. Can fall into depression without reasons.
  • "Sensitive Digestion": overeating can cause pain and nausea.
  • "Liquid Blood": increased bleeding damage.
  • "Owl": drowsiness accumulates faster in the morning, but slower in the evening.
  • "Lark": drowsiness accumulates faster in the evening, but more slowly in the morning.
  • "Sore Lego": legs hurts while walking, running, fitness and stomping.
  • "Alcoholic" (only for vanilla): easily tolerates strong drunkenness; overall condition will worsen if alcohol not been drunk for a long time.

- Some traits increase the chance of finding items in Search mode (foraging). - Mutually exclusive traits: when taking the Clumsy trait, you cannot take the Lightfoot trait (+1 Light step); Owl cannot be taken with Lark and so on. - Sleeping traits disabled for multiplayer of SleepNeeded and SleepAllowed are turned off.

Traits are rebalanced from time to time to reach the ideal state. So don't be surprised if your favourite trait gets nerfed or buffed. I always read feedback and trying to be competent about balance.

Compatibility with mods:

  • Dynamic Traits - full support in the Dynamic version. You can earn many traits (more info in description).
