Ascetic is useful for the Royalty DLC. It basically blocks pawns from wanting better rooms and food as they gain titles from the Empire.

[@JB30678]

I love ascetic on a pawn with good social, i also try to get asexual because it prevents them or a bedmate from getting a mood debuff. Id rather have the ocasional rejection debuff than q permanent bedroom debuff

[@remliqa]

@@JB30678 You could make them falls in love with another Ascetic. I forget the name ATM and too lazy to google but there is a psycast for that.

[@dukedynamite3d]

I disagree with you on bisexual. It's worse than the others since the pawn now has double the chance to get the rebuffed negative mood. Early on that shit can be crippling for moods.

My favorite pawn was an iron willed, kind, very neurotic pawn, she had high medical, cooking, decent social shooting and intellectual and an insanely high planting, she pretty much carried the colony in the background, she was the moral guide (sub leader basically) of the ideology too, she was just so good, never had a break down, and I would never send her into missions outside the colony, she was just so precious to me, I was using a mod called rabbie: the moon rabbit, she was from that race and got planetarium visions in her first season (spring), it gave her +10% vision and +20% accuracy, I'm still playing that save, she already saved the lives of her friends so many times, I didnt have to do many surgeries, only like 4, but she never failed any, she really deserved the title of "Colony's Princess"

[@lkaryy]

There was a trait where the pawn hates the other gender and i had an entire colony hating female and male and i realized this later on having like 14 of them with the traits hahaha no relationships in my colony

fast learner and tough should be in their own tier honestly. They are so insanely OP. Especially tough.

Teetotaler is F tier simply because it forces me to create another drug policy.

[@JohnSmith-bs9ym]

Tough, brawler, nimble, 20 melee. Oh my Hercules, how I've missed you. He single-handedly wiped out a platoon of mechanoids one time. (With good positioning, of course.)

Trigger Happy ,20 shooting, and shooting specialist holding a minigun is just the best fighter out there.

[@hideshisface1886]

Trigger happy is definitely not a B tier - it is solid A, perhaps even S. But it is a trait that is sort of a late bloomer. You need a good shooting skill to start with to benefit from it - but with a good shooter, and peferably a shooting specialist as well... This becomes a complete and utter beast in ranged combat. Shooting specialist sniper with a trigger happy trait... it is a walking 45 range death. And a wall of bullets if you give such a pawn a minigun. And a positive one shot machine with Charge Lance. Or short ranged monster with a chain shotgun. In turn - Careful Shooter is a positive early on, but a detriment once the pawn learns how to shoot decently well. Too smart is hilarious if you happen to have it combined with Fast Learner - you get a pawn that learns everything at absurdly rapid rate.

[@christianwhite8877]

I can understand the psychic sensitivity reduction traits being a positive trait but the ones that increase psychic sensitivity I wouldn't say are a negative trait because with psychic sensitivity it makes you better with psychic powers in the royalty dlc you just have to keep in mind there mood will be changing more from the psychic drones and at worst it's downside is manageable

[@marcosda4th92]

This assumes you go through the effort for a psycaster.

[@christianwhite8877]

@@marcosda4th92 I do try to have psycasters but regardless what I said still is true even if you don't have any psycasters the downsides of psychic sensitivity are manageable at worst

[@firstname4097]

too smart stacks with fast learner, if you wanted to make them learn faster. If you keep this with great memory on a double passion crafter, then you can have them learn really fast and keep their experience. I personally use the medicines+ and drugs+ mods to get aniracetam, so I Can use it to increase learning speed. Also, vanilla brewing expanded allows you to get whiskey and double whiskey to help global work speed, as well as coffee, which decreases sleep fall rate, and I think it helps with global learning speed too.

[@GAMouse]

I think you didn't figure how trigger happy works. The -5 shooting skill is easily offset by the ability to shoot 2 times faster which translates to 2 chances to hit, Instead of 1. You are also going to gain shooting skill 2 times faster because you are using it at 2 times the speed every time. At 32 tiles the difference at max level is 73%(base) vs 2x53%=106%(trigger happy). This only gets better as the distance reduces, so at a really short range the chance to hit is almost the same but you get 2 chances. So I'll take my 2 chances (106%) instead of 1(73%) every time. Not to mention you can move and shoot and kite better if you're taking half the time to aim. This should be your main force of combat type pawn. You only really need 2 passions, animals and shooting then add trigger happy trait and he goes out hunting, from day 1 starting with rats, provides food and leather and maxes shooting skill before midgame. He already is the one man Rambo S tier, but then there is more. You make him into a shooting specialist and add marksman command and now you shoot 4 times faster(25%) and eliminate the initial -5 with a +11 to shooting. Yet there is even more. The Marksman command is an aura that stacks with other marksman commands from another shooting specialists at the same time. Go this route of you want to cut butter with a katana.

[@SaltyMaud]

Trigger happy only halves the _aiming time_ (also called warm-up), it does nothing to reduce the cooldown, or the burst duration. For low warm-up weapons trigger happy has quite negligible effect on total rate of fire - revolver, for example, only observes a ~11% reduction in time between shots. Sniper rifle has the highest benefit at ~30% reduction of time between shots, however for long range weapons the shooting accuracy penalty is worse than the rate of fire benefit. Generally trigger happy is still a great trait, especially for short range killboxes and/or against crowds where a missed shot might still hit another enemy, or grenades where accuracy is less important (with the caveat that a pawn with extra poor shooting accuracy can miss _more_ than the minimum 1 tile miss radius). But trigger happy isn't _always_ automatically better than a traitless, or careful shooter pawn.

[@blazezz1101]

I personally value traits that boost mood to counteract the decreasing bonus as colony wealth increases so I have a large buffer against mental breaks. Body Modder at the peak is almost as good as Sanguine with +40 opinion bonus to all pawns with 5 or more installed parts. Quick Sleeper is awesome for productivity but has a hidden downside of making mood management more challenging since sleeping halts the Recreation bar from decreasing. Kind and Ascetic also negates negative opinion towards Ugly/Staggeringly Ugly pawns (though Ascetic also ignores Pretty/Beautiful too). Ascetic pawns also make the best candidates for Royal titles.

[@acctsys]

IMO, S tier should be reserved for traits that you are willing to get negative traits/injuries as a trade-off--meaning they're so good that you don't mind what comes with it to a certain point.

[@dogulahurst3187]

I had a jogger with trigger happy once. That was a broken pawn once it took a hit of go juice. It was capable of doing some pretty crazy tricks. Once I gave it one archotech arm it was doing snapshots with a sniper rifle. I think those two traits together in some ways break the game. But I suppose thats true when you combo a lot of traits. I heard tough and nimble were a hellish combo, but I've oddly never gotten that yet..

[@Cothfotmeoo]

Lol! Definitely enjoying these rating vids and, yes, we're seeing about eye-to-eye on these. XD Well played!

[@KokoplaysMB]

Glad you like them!

[@4GOT10_1]

Gourmand is definitely not B tier as it can also give them mental breaks at random, regardless of their mood. Ive had a colonist with a joywire get a mental break because of gourmand. On top of that i also enjoy having colonists smoke that ganja so more often than not, im already prepared for hungry colonists, so in my opinion it's bottom of C tier, maybe even lower. Edit: Bisexual is also definitely F tier as they get rebuffed double the amount which sucks for their mood, but also opinions. Ive had colonists go full Elliot Roger cuz of this trait. Bisexual is only a half decent trait when paired with pretty or beautiful.

[@aswadianknight4766]

1/3 less sleeping means ~2h more working (8h sleep) so depending how long they need to chill, eat. etc something like 15% more work without opinion debuff

[@CapybaraEnthusiast882]

my tough body modder colonist joined into my play through of making the most enhanced super soldiers possible with a high melee skill, he almost two shots people with a mono however i installed 2 elbow and 2 knee spikes to make him devistating in under armed

[@robertkowalczyk6218]

I like rimworld

[@Imbapiranha]

The faster walking traits are both A-or S-tier. The amount of work they can do considerably increases with less commute and especially when rescuing bleeding people, this might save 1 or 2 hours on longer runs.

[@gytisbl]

trigger-happy + minigun is a very nice combination for crowd control

[@zinamac8611]

Ascetic is one of the best traits, they have no title requirements with the empire, so you can make an ascetic pawn max rank with no drawbacks.

[@sullyvanbastien4526]

3:50 carefull shooters must be equiped with fast weapons. Snipers are way too long to shoot with, so with a carefull shooter it will take 25% more time

I don’t really use drugs in rimworld and my colonists are fine should I start use ING them tho?

[@medichap4626]

I normaly use them as an emergency tool, incase anybody gets a extreme break risk i just drug them out, its also good for selling just be careful to not give someone an addiction Cuz its annoying as hell

[@HolyApplebutter]

Bisexual has been really annoying for me in my most recent playthrough, because all he hits on is straight guys. So at any given moment he usually has at least one "rebuffed" debuff.

[@KokoplaysMB]

They do be like that yeah

[@frikenchiken3202]

Now you should do a tier list for xenotypes

[@KokoplaysMB]

I'll look into it for sure.

[@Jaime_Protein_Cannister]

Body moder above brawler... ok :) Industrious ends runs , because they have very heavy malus against "lazy people" Industrious people fight a lot and then in turn get your colony killed because you're recovering from Fight wounds. Naturally negative stance towards certain type of pawn has snowballing effect , they just keep being mean to one another. IF you're going industrious you might as well go night owl. Fast learner causes Raid difficulty to skyrocket on the hardest difficulties. You want to throttle your stats. Iron willed causes pawns to be hardstuck in their belief systems , it's a bastard to conver them to your ideology Jogger Though Nible Optimist and Quick Sleeper are S tier Jogger limits the time you travel so naturally they do work faster any type of work that involves walking , but even their entire day is faster. They get to Research benches faster start early finish late. They get to recreation spots early , they do everything faster. Quick sleeper is the exact same , it reduces Downtime by some 30%. There are 3 ways of making colonies more efficient , 1 walk time, 2 sleep time , 3 time wasted on Recreaton and obv Global work rate is a thing.

[@jaysonp9426]

You should give some reasons and think these through first instead of just "this is c tier because it sucks". Relationships are a major part of the game. Shared beds, wedding ceremonies, buffs for partners, debuffs for losing a partner. Same with beautiful. It's horrible because it's constantly attacking negative buffs on your whole colony. Fast walker/jogger literally impacts everything your pawn does. Nudist is great, literally all you have to do is unequip for a second and you get a buff...

[@tombayley7110]

Koko does the light house have a fog horn? if yes, how far could it pull zombies from and how much would it save on having to search for them?

[@xawee7254]

I think beautiful and pretty are negatives unless their on ur main social guy. If you play very specialized then beautiful is awesome if u use that person as a trade/warden otherwise its a negative for all the rebuffing they will do

Asexual is underrated they won’t get upset over breakups

[@remliqa]

Psychicly deaf is F- tier if you wanst psycast or use any psy based enhancers.

[@sausageman4086]

How dare you put trigger-happy, brawler and BEAUTIFUL on the same tier. A brawler can easily solo a mech raid as long as you build them a decent corridor and a trigger-happy pawn with a minigun and the shooting specialist role will tear through tribals like agent orange through Vietnamese livers. beautiful on the other hand will provide a social buff in exchange for making your pawn worth more than the entire country of Liberia.

because it's basically a trait that doesn't do anything, like any of the other sexualities in the game. with modding ofc it can have more use, depending on the mods.

Was interesting to see how someone else values traits. On some i agree but i was just watching like this: WHAAT? HOW? :D Anyway the most shocking was for me in Trigger Happy being so low i basically recruit anyone with trigger happy cuz if the shooting skill goes up they do insane damage so even if the colonist is quite useless they can still defend the colony plus good for exploration.
