The Base Default is 5.
These are a list of mods for you to pick the number you want instead.
The plan is from numbers 1 through 9 points.
10 is unnecessary.
How selecting traits work when creating a faction is the minimum is 1 Trait until the maximum is 5 traits to choose at base.

I hope you enjoy. If your looking for 7 its made by another user.

For important notes of each of these mods by when you want pick or switch between the helpful info is written below.
