Diminutive

This species is very small and weak.

Army Damage: -50%
Worker Pop Resources Output: -5%
Pop Housing Usage: -5%
Pop Food Usage: -5%

Beserker

When provoked, this species has a natural tendency to fly into a murderous, unrestrained rage with no regard for their own safety.

Offensive Army Damage: +100%
Moral Damage Inflicted: +50%
Army Damage Taken: +50%

Boring

May it be appearence, tone of voice, mannerism, multiple traits or something you just can't quite put your finger on but this species appears to be plainly boring to others.

Amenities from Jobs −10%
Unity from Jobs −5%

maybe a similar mod, but crates a new cultural sistem?

How about as a counterbalance to Dellar's Boring, something like;

Interesting or Cute

+Amenities and Unity from jobs.

But also for an associated leader trait it could be something like;

Celebrity (Any)

+Pop Happiness, Trust Growth, and like Trade Value or Unity Production.

This could also be a good leader trait for some events, similar to the Crawler event and associated trait from the More Events Mod. Maybe stuff like strange fans confronting them, or The Preservers asking if they can have the Celebrity Leader as an outstanding example of your species.


Edit: And as an addition as well to Dellar's Boring, could have like;

Dullard (Any)

-Unity Production, Amenities, Trade value maybe.

This one might also be a good one to set up some sneaky spy bonuses in when the next DLC drops, as boring spies are harder to spot.

This isn't as much as a suggestion but more of a question about traits that were in the previous version of the mod but not this mod

Unbound (3)

• Free Pop Resource Output : +5%
• Pop Happiness Without Slaves : +5%
• Slave Pop Resource Output : -50%

Land of the Free (Ruler)

• Free Pop Resource Output : +5%
• Pop Happiness Without Slaves : +5%
• Slave Pop Resource Output : -25%
• Unrest : +100%

Iconoclasts (-3)
• Government Ethics Attraction : -50%
• Unity : -20%

These were probably my 2 fav traits from the last mod. I mostly liked them because of the little description you gave them and the fact that I pinned them on my species since they were naturally rebellious. Mostly asking for RP reasons tbh but I can see how the unbound trait could be a little OP. I'd make the suggestion to add them in but change the unbound a bit

Unbound (3)

• Pop resource output: +5%
• Slave pop resource output: -50 percent
• Pop happiness with slaves: -5%

Land of the Free (Ruler)

• Pop resource output +5%
• Slave pop resource output: -25%
• Unrest: +100%

I don't really have any changes for Iconoclasts, they did good as they did in my normal games. Not terrible early game, lots of unrest and aids late game across my empire. But if I did a good job, they wouldn't rebel. I ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up, I have a rebellion mod that made rebellions more aids to deal with. So I'd constantly have political groups making forts on planets and threating to dissolve the empire into civil war. That was the reason why I liked these 2 traits. If you can, please add them back!! But if not, oh well. I'll stick to Deviants (vanilla) and Humble (this new mod) though...the flavor of having my empire be threatened with civil war by the end game won't be as extreme. Idk, up to you. But I'd love to see an addition/rebalanced version of the mod.

I have an idea: I think that the Sanguine trait should have the chance or always spawn the champion of the people trait.

I miss the old Cowardice Trait, from a previous version, which gave -2 to max Level for Admirals and Generals (and did something to Armies, as I recall).

It was a good fit for pacifistic species and polities. However, with all the bonuses you can get to max Level, I think that in addition to -2 max Level and some kind of Army malus, it should also increase the Hire Cost of Admirals and Generals by something like 100%. Maybe their Upkeep too.

I’m also sceptical about Traits that increase the need for Housing being genuinely bad. With the 3.0 changes, savvy players will over-provide Housing to maximize POP Growth, early on, and will continue to do so well into the mid game.

Hi super weird and specific request, I really loved the Apex Predator trait from before, any chance of adding that back?

Hey I dont know if you will see this but if you do I think it would benefit to have a Discord or Patreon so you can post progress updates.
