Synergistic Traits

7/4/25 - added patch for CE, added 1.6 compatibility

This mod adds 17 (vanilla), 2 (royalty), 2 (ideology), 3 (biotech), 1 (anomaly) traits that add synergy with stat improving drugs/traits/clothes/etc...

They 'synergize' more than other traits by making use of Stat Factors rather than Stat Offsets. So stats are multiplied rather than flat increases.

For example:
The trait 'Fast Hands' multiplies Global Work Speed by 125%. This is different from industrious which adds a flat increase of +35%. Not only is the pawn's default Global Work Speed 125% but also any other Global Work Speed increasing items are 25% more effective.
Wake-up +50% Global Work Speed -----> +62.5% Global Work Speed
Industrious +35% Global Work Speed -----> +43.75% Global Work Speed

For stats that increase with skill level (think mining speed or plant work speed) these traits are more effective at higher levels and less effective at lower levels unlike regular traits that have the same effectiveness across all skill levels.

As for balance, these traits are a bit rarer than 'tortured artist' or 'ascetic' - don't expect to see any specific trait often, but expect about 1/10 pawns to have a synergistic trait.
