Welcome to the world of Evolving Traits
This mod allows you to get really ripped in PZ and see an actual character progression besides getting your skills from lvl 0 to lvl10. You'll be able to purge the majority of negative traits and earn a lot of positive ones (but also earn some negative ones as well). This would help you to go from your average Joe to actual GigaChad in-game. You repair a lot of cars? You get better at it. You train yourself to take long-range kills with proper rifles? Why wouldn't it warranty getting Eagle-Eyed? You pick up thousands of plants through your lifetime and still can't call yourself Herbalist? Yea, that doesn't sound right to me. You maintain great sleeping schedule but for some reason you still need same amount of sleep as when you were sleeping whenever? Not anymore. Welcome to the Dynamic Traits World, ladies and gentlemen!

Features
  • NEW! UI with all the mod information in-game! Default hotkey is "["
  • 70+ dynamic traits (vanilla + added by the mod), full list on this spreadsheet[docs.google.com].
  • FULL sandbox customization. Choose which perks you want to be dynamic, choose how fast you get them, choose how fast you lose them, customize anything with more than 150 sandbox options. Nothing is forced upon player, if you like 1% of the mod, you can literally set it up so you get to use that 1% and nothing else.
  • Advanced systems that affect a lot of traits. Affinity system, that allows you to stick to your starting traits better. Delayed traits system, that allows you to get/remove traits with random delay.
  • QOL (Quality of Life) submod - mark all traits that are dynamic so in character creating you can see which perks are obtainable during gameplay! Can be enabled without enabling main mod, so if you don't like main features added by this mod and just want to see which traits are dynamic in your game with SOTO/MST/MT/DT - you can do that.
  • For new traits (aka not vanilla game), customization is also present. Want Hoarder perk to give you more carry weight per point of STR? Go adjust it in Sandbox. Want to be even happier under rain with Pluviophile? Sandbox it is.
  • Client-sided configuration available with Mod Options.
  • Don't like some/all traits added by this mod but only want to have vanilla traits dynamic? Also possible, with help of Evolving Traits World (ETW) - Disable Selected Traits.

Hello, I have survived 27ish days with cowardly and agoraphobic, i dynamically lost cowardly but now every hour i am getting the notification that i lost agoraphobic + claustrophobic (which i didnt have) and gained back agoraphobic... meaning im not gaining or losing anything and its just playing the sound every hour. Any way to disable this?
MusicManiac  [author] 1 Nov @ 2:09am 
Open some other panel and then just switch tabs. Alternatively you can change it in mod settings.

how do i remove the guitar riff after every time it shows the stat gains and loses over my head
Sly Marbo 27 Oct @ 10:09am 
That is one of the statements of all time. I guess you only take positive traits.
