Duplicants need: a page in the Codex, explanation on the initial start of the game.

[The Plum Gate]

All this stuff in the duplicant tooltip could be explained a bit better with a codex entry. The page could include various links to each underlying topic ( barring any unusual data like underwater movement that is ).

Also, duplicant base traits aren't explained from the outset - this tooltip is not present anywhere at the start of a game or on the printables selection screen. Though many of the traits are explained alone, 'duplicant' itself is not.

A duplicant has traits, skills, etc. but no explanation of what a "duplicant" statistically is to begin with, what we see on the initial selection screen is only what sets a particular duplicant apart from another and not what a duplicant's base stats are - duplicant basics simply aren't shown.

For example, the initial selection screen is shown below - it makes it look like the duplicant is going to die shortly after arrival because it doesn't tell you anywhere that the base regeneration rate is 15%. They'll really only be regenerating 11% per cycle which isn't shown here. Germ resistant is equally mysterious.

The resultant calculated information isn't shown for any of the traits on the selection screen, one has to guess if they don't already know what duplicant base stats are. In game, it tells you all the base stats, but it's hiding in a tool tip as shown in the first image.

So, a possible solution when starting a new game is have a 'wireframe dupe panel' - a reactive dummy panel, and the base statistics to exemplify what a dupe is to begin with without any other traits. This could be off to the right or left of the three starters. If this were a reactive panel - when you mouse over or activate a duplicant selection panel, the wireframe duplicant would show the various calculated stats for that particular selection and give more insightful information about how positive and negative skills and traits affect the duplicant as a whole. This would be a panel reflecting the calculated results of the duplicant's skills and traits as you mouse over them.
