Gecko’s Traits

CURRENT VERSION: 1.8 (Updated 7/21/2019!)
Uploading on a sunday this week instead of the usual monday as I will be travelling tomorrow. 1.8 includes a couple icon tweaks, namely for wargear traits (biological pops) and reuse of some trait icons for robotic traits so that they are no longer just placeholders. There are also two new wildcard traits, one for biological species and one for machines.

IMPORTANT: Though not required, it is recommended you use this mod with my more trait picks mod available here https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1764318101

Inspired by RPG Traits, my trait mod is primarily for use by friends in modpacks but I figured the community might be interested in it as well. As of version 1.3, there are 31 working, English localized traits. Some may be lacking custom icons and so have a placeholder instead, but they are fully functional!

Also, I’m no longer going to update the list of traits here. Check the pictures to see the most recent additions.

This mod should be compatible with any mod, as it doesn’t overwrite any vanilla files (for now.)

Obviously, many more traits are planned. Feel free to report any bugs in the comments, as well as make suggestions as to what I should add next.

Thanks!
