Bad Can Be Good

Those bad traits that everyone skips are now not as bad. These traits are now flavorful. This also means these traits aren't as bad when the game calculates the difficulty of the traits and the market value of the pawns with these traits.




These traits have been rebalanced so the downsides are matched up with bonuses that make sense for each trait

Note: The downsides of the following traits have not been altered or removed unless specifically mentioned.

▶ Abrasive: +3 to melee, cannot be insulted as this one loves attention
Abrasive people are constantly getting into fights and so know how to take a punch, and are amused or indifferent to insults.

The pyromaniac loves fire, but still understands survival is at stake.

The critters and creatures of the colony and wild are the only thing keeping this one together.
