[A16] Psychology
Manual Psyche/sexDrive/romanticDrive Editing
I didn't want to clutter up the comments section, so I decided to ask this here. If this is better placed somewhere else, sorry.

I was wondering if I could have some help reguarding editing pawn's psyches via save files. I noticed that each personality trait introduced by psychology has a "rawRating" in the save file for each colonist. I was originally assuming that this was possibly a percentage (because they're all between 0 and 1, similar to how Rimworld does severity). But, looking at a colonist's save file and their psyche tab side by side, it is hard to see any correlation between them. Some of the traits that my colonists feel very strongly about have a very low "rawRating", and the same goes the other way around. It seems very random to me.
(I looked at some other colonists, and it seems that I just didn't have my eyes working properly. Lower numbers = Don't feel as strongly about).

Also, I'm not sure if there is an in-game value I can check my colonists sexDrive and romanticDrive against (to see if I'm making them too far into an extreme).

I also noticed that some pawns don't have a sexDrive value that I can change, whereas others do. Is there something that affects their sexDrive value in a way that prevents it from using the same scale as romanticDrive? I noticed that certain traits (Rimworld traits like Abrasive) cause psyche traits (like polite) to change (which makes sense). Are there other traits that can change/remove a pawns sexDrive value?

Any and all help would be really appreciated. I'm sorry if I gave a poor description, I am about as familiar with coding and save file editing as I am with the moon's landscape.
