Adds 16 positive, 16 negative and expands 14 vanilla traits
(and optional "bonus to skill" traits module) The information below is for the most recent version of the game, older versions might slightly differ.
This is Multiplayer focused mod. Though it should work fine overall in Single Player
It targets hardcore setting: high pop, tough zombies, sprinters, pinpoint. Please report bugs in discussion thread which corresponds to the version used
About the traits which affect character stats
- The positive traits have very subtle effects, stacking is helpful but won't be game changing
- The negative traits on the other hand hit pretty hard as soon as player meets the conditions and some go away as soon as those are no longer met
- While positive traits won't counter the effects of negative traits while those are active, they will help with the aftereffects and the amount of character maintenance in general

Notes
- Does not add new professions or change the existing ones (long term compatibility reasons)
- Does not add traits which affect interactions/communication between players or the experience gain (apart from "bonus to skill" traits module)
- Big thanks to @clementine for creating pixel art for traits
- A group of experienced players was helping with the ideas for the traits
- Compatible with Combat Traits and Keen Perception
- Made for Sunday Drivers server
- Should be compatible with other small trait mods but there might be issues when used with other big trait mods, please do not report bugs related to incompatibility with other trait mods
- Can be added to existing save/server
- The initial release of this mod took about 80 hours to develop
To Server Owners
- This mod avoids sendClientCommand and doesn't use it for anything meaningful
- All stats management is handled entirely by the server
- It should have little to no performance impact for both client and server, the load is equally distributed over time instead of running for all players at once
A thumbs up helps with the mod's discoverability, thank you if you left one Check my other mods, maybe you'd like some of them
Modpacking or reuploading is not allowed as long as the original version is present.[/code]
