Cheat Traits

Cheat Traits adds 14 overpowered Ch* traits for players who want standout specialists, hero pawns, or deliberately broken colony builds. Each trait is built around a clear role: unarmed fighter, revolver ace, speedster, tank, master grower, miracle doctor, beastmaster, diplomat, and more.

All traits use commonality = 0, so they are best suited for custom starts, edited pawns, dev-mode setups, or other deliberate trait assignment.

Requirements

• RimWorld 1.6
• Harmony
