Jaggid's Survivor Tweaks

Description
This mod sprang up because I just simply got tired of always using exactly the same survivors in almost every playthrough because of of my own preferences in traits/skills/etc.

What I did was go through and tweak every survivor. This means many of my favorite traits now have more than one survivor that I can pick to get that trait, and survivors I skipped over due to lack of anything interesting might be more appealing.

While I was in there, I also added favorite foods and favorite relaxation to any survivors that did not have one assigned, and also gave every survivor a favorite beverage.

Overall, this mod will make the game a bit easier, because almost every survivor is just a tiny, tiny bit better than they were before. Feel free to not subscribe if that bothers you.

doesnt work on loaded save.

Thanks @Omega13. That's actually why I made this mod. 9 out of 10 of the additional survivors on the workshop are quite ridiculously OP, which means I pretty much only use the games default survivors but I had a short list of which ones I liked and which I'd pretty much never use if given the choice. So I tweaked things such that I'd be willing to use any of them.

I was skeptical at first since literally every mod I've looked at that added new survivors or "vanilla-like" survivor tweaks has been ridiculously OP but this one looks rather nice! Creative and flavorful instead of "Everyone has 7+ skills and five traits." I shouldn't be surprised since a lot of your mods have been pretty great.

I was thinking of "modding sensibly" stuff I wanted and did a search first, end 90% of them was already here made by you 8) I am very grateful for making "sensible" mods instead of stupid "new look" or "godmode" mods 8)) Did you play Jagged Alliance franchise, re you name ? 8))

Clear, thanks.

Re-subscribing indeed fixed the issue on my end.

Aright, I fixed Carter as well. I also found a way to (mostly) avoid issues with that glitch that I mentioned, so hopefully this doesn't happen again.

Regarding Vivian and Daniel, the trait's internal name (in the code) is Attentive, but what you would see is "Compassionate", which is the designated english display name. I'm correcting the mod's description...I imagine most players aren't familiar with the internal name "Attentive" that I used.

Sometimes Steam is funny and you need to unsubscribe and resubscribe to properly get a workshop update. It happens with other games too but I have it occur quite a bit with Stranded compared to many other games that I play.

I'll check out those other findings.

Thanks. Weirdly enough I still do not see updated Talas in the new game screen. Steam supposedly downloaded the update, but maybe some issue on my end, not sure.

Nevertheless, I did a quick check for full list above. Here are all findings:

Carter - missing combat interest
Daniel - missing attentive trait
Talas - missing crafting interest
Vivien - missing attentive trait

Thanks for the report @Artie!

The mod editor has some glitches when editing skill inclinations as property changes, I did not notice that one failing to stick. I have fixed it with the update I just put up now. Unfortunately, I do not believe it will take effect in an ongoing playthrough.

Great mod, thank you!

Small note: Talas seems to be missing the interest in Crafting?
