Just a note, this seems to introduce a visual bug in the traditions tree in 3.2 possibly in older versions too. Doesn't effect gameplay though.

revive the revival of this mod!

So I've just arrived here from the apparently dead official version, and this one seems to have been dying for some time as well. So if anyone re-revives the official mod, please post a link! :-D

Is it just me, or is it not possible to see all the effects of certain abilities like Tiny or Titanic? I tried UI scaling and higher resolution but it looks like there is only 13 lines to work with and 7 of them are taken up by the trait name, description and flavor quote...

@the reaper seems to work fine

Does anyone know if this works with 3.0?

I can see that you used my trait descriptions for the RPG traits renewal! Looks like I'm going to be doing some more quote rewrites as my writing skills have improved a lot over the years...

@themidnightfoundation This mods description says nothing about that. Ya potato.

cant get this to actually show the traits in game, when i select traits its just the normal base game ones, any clue on what i messed up?

any updates for 2.8?

why does this mod not show up in my mod list?

I think revising Subterranean to Burrowers and setting them to work in a clean way where once population with the trait hit a threshold on a world you can take a decision to expend resources to add a district slot or something. Subterranean was conceived back in the days where tiles still existed, and hasn't been properly rethought since. I definitely think having a trait that supports tall play on a few taller worlds in that fashion still makes sense from a game play perspective.

I like people like @Dragon of Desire that are just a weeeee bit thick and don't understand that these traits were never intended for player use. They're for building boss monster AI empires.

'This is waaayyyy overpowered!'

Yes it is! It's supposed to be! It's a flavorful way to make the AI competitive!

If you stack these traits onto a player empire you only have yourself to blame for the outcome. Maybe read the description in the future. :)

fun mod so far, sadly the "obsessed with armor" trait wont work for me. is it bugged or is it blocked by some of my other mods?

So, unfortunately, after doing a playthrough with these traits, I can 100% say that the traits added are absolutely gamebreaking. +900% assembly speed? +400% resources? It's utterly broken. Things need some SERIOUS tweaks before this is useable in any balanced way. Accept my friend invite when ya can; I'd be willing to help you make changes and do balance sweeps on the traits so they fit better.

Also, it should be done soon, as I discovered that Build Underground Districts is a default decision; ANYONE can use it immediately at the start of the game.

I think it'd be best to remove entirely. It'd be less work for you and if people want it, as you said, they can get Gwen's Alternate Playstyles. If you'd like some assistance, I can help you with balance and bug finding.

Reworking descriptions is something high on the list too ofc.

Regarding subterranean: I thought the same thing actually, but was left a little conflicted regarding whether to remove it entirely, as I know a similar thing is added as an origin within Gwen's Additional Playstyles (GAPs)

Yeah I'm working to balance all those things, as well as others. That's why I've split the mod into the Classic version and this one.

Tho thanks for the info in any case.

Also, the Grey Goo trait is FAR too powerful. I highly recommend having it given ONLY by defeating the Grey Tempest, and even then, halving the current bonuses that it currently gives. As it is right now, the trait is simply a god-trait and makes you unstoppable.

Also, wanted to share that the defensive trait seems to be bugged; it's not reducing the cost of defense stations or modifying the stats of Starbases at all. This COULD be because I have Expanded Starbases, however.

YEah, the descriptions need to be reworked on a lot of the traits. I chose "Tiny" thinking I'd just get the bonuses and negatives of what it says, but instead I get into the game and find out that it gives massive penalties to things that are NEVER mentioned in the description.

Lithovore and Energy Lifeform should probably be removed; Lithovore is now added with the Lithoids Pack.

Also, Subterranean should be an Origin, not a trait. It should probably be removed and/or swapped to an Origin.

Wanting to warn you that several traits that say they are locked behind ascension perks can be taken at species creation. You might want to fix that.

Dude, please, make normal descriptions for traits. I take trait and wonder what it will do (like broodparasite)

Is this mod compatible with:

Additional Traits https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=681576508
and
Enhanced Robomodding https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2027195339

I have to put Enhanced Robomodding below Additional Traits, but they seem to work nicely enough together. Wondering if I can add this mod to it.

There's a conflict I'm having with this and either NSC2 or Downscaled ships. No ship models load, at all. At empire creation the there is just black boxes when selecting ship types.

RPG Traits Classic Version Released!

@Phoenix Nebula
Yeah, I already mentioned that if the poll was tight I'd just do both.

The poll was pretty close do you think you will still do a full rebalance version?

Yes! I'm so happy. I loved the original. The unbalanced traits is what made it so roleplay feeling for me.

@CervicalSpear

I'll be removing the balance measures in this mod, so it'll be back to how it was prior to my tweaking.
That's what the poll was for, to see what people wanted. So no worries about that.

So its not *revived* its nerfed and changed? Might want to change its misleading title

@Gun Built
If the poll results end up with a tie between 2 (or all 3) options, I'll most likely make separate mods for those. I kinda just wanted to see how everyone's feeling about the direction going forward.

@Yandros
Energy Lifeform was in the state I had found it in the original. Stuff that's straight up broken will be fixed or removed tho.

Are all traits finished? Like "energy lifeform", seems to give -100% food production and nothing else?

Regarding the balance or no balance maybe make a separate mod with reworked balance and have this one stay the way it is

I wanted to get some user input about the mod actually.
If anyone is so inclined, I'm curious to what you have to say!
https://strawpoll.com/f1z24k7ck

I had thought i replied, my bad. I've commented out a few traits for the time being in order to give me time to balance out values and costs that I wasn't sure about in the meantime.

Yeah, same as Phoenix said, there are traits missing, the weird thing is they were there when I started a game a few days ago, but now they're seemingly gone, what gives?

I feel like some traits are missing there is only one trait for intelligance, one motivated triat, and only one sedantary and nomadic traits.

Dost thou git? I checked the original mod to see if this was a fork or a branch and couldn't find anything.

Bless you! This mod makes gene engineering sooo worthwhile!
