Perfect Function Traits

This mod adds rare traits to the game that disable various needs, such as the need for food, recreation, or even sleep.

Trait List:

~ Perfected Nerves
+ Disables Comfort Need

~ Vanometric Metabolism
+ Disables Food Need

~ Perfect Focus
+ Disables Recreation Need

~ Circadian Ouroboros
+ Disables Sleep Need

~ Refined Deathrest
+ Disables Deathrest Need

~ Perfect Body
+ Disables Comfort and Food Needs

~ Perfect Mind
+ Disables Sleep, Recreation, and Deathrest Needs

~ Perfect Specimen
+ Disables Comfort, Food, Recreation, Sleep, and Deathrest Needs all in one
- Comes with minor tradeoffs such as a lower mental break threshold


The mod comes with an Archite Gene that gives the Perfect Specimen trait and increased lifespan for 5 archite capsules and 25 complexity. The traits themselves I tried to make as balanced as I could given the nature of disabling needs, but this gene is just extremely overpowered and I don't think there is a way to make it even remotely balanced. I may eventually remove the gene and split it up into multiple genes for the individual traits instead, though if you'd rather not have the genes at all or if you'd rather have an arguably more balanced version of these traits, I've made another version of the mod that does both, which you can find here: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3540032524 (Don't use both!)

Recommended Mods:

• Do Lovin' When Idle - Let your sleepless pawns get love despite not going to bed to sleep. Without this your pawns with disabled sleep will only do Lovin' when resting as a patient (so not often)

I have no experience modding Rimworld, and I barely have any coding skills, so this is a very simple implementation. I have little idea how backwards compatible this is with earlier versions of the game, but my guess is that it'll work on anything after 1.4 (when Biotech was added) at the very least. Let me know if it is working without issue on a particular version and I'll add it to the supported versions.

Again, I'm not a full on modder, at least not yet, and I made this for my own personal use (but figured other people might want the functionality), so I'll be slow to do things if at all. Case in point; Dub's Bad Hygiene support (traits for disabling Bladder and/or Hygiene) was originally planned, but I failed to get it to work. Maybe it'll be added in the future but no promises on that since it might need some actual coding and I'm not at that level yet
