V_TRAITS

The mod is currently in the process of being updated to 4.1 with me trying to figure out how to translate as many of the traits to the new system as possible. As of now, the mod is missing some of the traits to be re-added at a later time and some brand new ones.

In the game only Fungoids, Plantoids and Lithoids get unique traits that no other species class has. This is a bit of a problem because at the end of the day there is no difference between them. There is no difference between Arthropods and Mamalian species when it comes to unique traits as they get none. This mod adds over 200 traits, that are divided between all species classes. All of these traits are based on real phenomena, and tropes related to the species class.

A lot of these traits are focused on how they impact or are impacted by the environment they find themselves in and how they impact the environment themselves. As a example Avian, Arthropoid and Aquatic species gain access to the Brood Parasite trait, that increases their pop growth speed at the cost of other species. For a more positive kind of impact we have the Fertilising trait avilable to Plantoids and Fungoids that increases habitability for all by +1%. There is something for even pop bombing connoisseurs with traits like Infertilising, Locusts, Plagued, and Polluting that reduce habitability, but do it in different ways and differing severity.

Maybe you want to have a different take on Xenophilia. A more... Parasitic kind of it. Growing your species at the expense of others via brood parasitism, or by being a brain parasite that slowly takes over other empires. You can even be a social parasite and refuse to do any worker jobs at all. And if you want to be nicer to your neighbors you can always have your species make use of the Behaviour Altering trait making your other pops more happy.

This mod might be on the more resource intensive side of things. So if you feel the game lags too much for your taste go and subscribe to the Performance Patch and put it below V_TRAITS in the load order. The Patch disables randomization for traits using triggered modifiers, only allowing custom empires to make use of them. Another thing you can do is to turn Xenocompatibility off.

If any mod also overwrites these files, something will most likely break and will require a compatibility patch.
