Please add dupes selection on start!

[Rusjcd]

Hello dear Klei!

So many years I have loved and played ONI, but 1 thing always makes me frustrated.

Please add the ability to choose a certain dupe at the start window as it appears with choice of profession. I love to play with some certain characters, at least start with them and everytime I start the game I spend several hours at this cursed window! It's cool that you once gave us an opportunity to choose the profession of starting dupes but for me it is not so necessary and useful. I would rather have the ability to choose a specific dupe.
Please, save me, my soul, my time, my nervous system.. Give us this feature...

to be specific; Duplicant Stat Selector, namely its crew preset or personality selector feature

[Rusjcd]

Thank you very much, smart people.
I don't like mods and don't want to use 'em.

I think it could be nice to have this in base game.

(PS: Klei, if you add it to the printer drops too it will be incredibly wonderful!)

Just remember: printing Meep as one of your starting duplicants is strictly forbidden. It's one of the very few things the game really doesn't want you to do 

Infinite storage? Fine. Teleporting liquids? Go ahead.

But NO. MEEP. ON. CYCLE. 1.

Both will change the game. And the mentioned mod has balance features so the dupes you get are ones you could potentially roll. Eventually.

You’re missing out big time. There are some really talented modders working on this game.

Lol. how will this change the game?

I said JUST pick the specific buddy, not his traits. And than roll for lucky one fs it is already presented in the game.

Moreover, you can already achieve the same thing by just spending a few extra hours.
