Ideas for traits

POSITIVE TRAITS
'Hot Blooded' - this duplicant has higher than average tolerance to hot temperatures
'Cold Natured' - this duplicant has higher than average tolerance to hot temperatures
'Friendly' - this duplicant is always helpful and nice to be around (reduces stress of those nearby)
'Stylish' - this duplicant has impeccable sense of style (improves decor nearby)

POSITIVE TRAITS
'Slob' - this duplicant makes a mess wherever they go (reduces decor nearby) cannot perform the jobs 'sweep' and 'mop'
'Thermosensitive' - (probably could use a better name) this duplicant is more sensitive to heat and cold.

STRESS RESPONSE
'Sleepwalker' - walks around at night (moving through doors as needed) waking up other duplicants when passing nearby

how about: 

  • Dancer ... 
  • Singer ...
  • Swimmer ...
  • Amathophobic ... fear of dust, might suddenly clean/sweep instead of work.
  • Nyctophobic ... fear of darkness, just a little light, right there, and here and here and over there and ... please?

This one is pretty cool. Not enough game mechanics use light.

 

Traits:

  • Acrobatic - increases speed of movement animations other than walking and climbing ladders (jumps, climbing tiles etc.)
  • Germaphobic - stressed out by dirty hands and grimy conditions
  • Amphibious (modification of existing trait) - also decreases stress penalties for soggy feet and soaking, possibly to 0

Stress reactions:

  • Panic/outburst - runs around the colony with hands in the air, screaming, causing stress and interrupted jobs (and sleep) in others
  • Heart attack - drops to the ground and loses some health, can become incapacitated if dropped to 0

Or maybe a new trait - dirtbag. Not stressed by soggy feet, soaking wet, dirty hands. Never uses showers. Smelly to other duplicants to the level that his proximity interrupts their sleep just like loud sleeper. Immune to others' smell. Cannot mop or sweep.

Why cannot sweep?

No mopping would make it almost like gastrophobic cook ;)

Maybe some efficiency reduction but no disabling

He's a dirtbag, he doesn't care about litter. 

Current traits can already make a dupe unable to do some jobs: combat (scaredy cat), cooking (gastrophobic), art (uncultured), research (yokel), digging (can't dig it), building (dimensionally inept), repairs (destructive). So why not mop/sweep? They're not "covered" yet. It's not like you have to hire all dupes like him, he'd just get some pros and some cons from the trait.

IMHO traits should not block doing jobs but cause stress build up and decerased efficiency at doing certain job.

Well there are already some in the core game that block doing jobs.

'Heavy Sleeper' - tends to sleep later than other duplicants
Does not wake at the end of the nighttime cycle, remains in bed until need to eat or use bathroom causes them to wake up.
But on the plus side, they can sleep next to loud sleepers
