This article has been verified for the current PC version (2.7) of the game.

Traits represents a species' innate functions, abilities and personality. A species's traits are selected at the start of a new game, but a species or certain pops of a species can adapt new traits through genetic engineering or occasionally events. Traits affect a wide variety of areas, from population growth rate to resource output to lifespan or even how pops are viewed by other aliens. Most traits come in mutually exclusive groups that affect the same aspect of the species, such as Nomadic.png Nomadic and Sedentary.png Sedentary, and each pop can only have one such trait from the group at any given time. These groups include traits with opposite effects, as well as stronger variants of a trait. Though traits are initially decided at a species level, individual pops of the same species can end up with different traits with genetic modification, producing new subspecies or variants. This rarely happens without player intervention.

Traits are mostly fixed at the start of the game. Altering traits during the game is generally possible only later in the game through some select events or by using genetic engineering. Certain technologies and Ascension Perks add additional trait points that can be used to alter a part of your species' pops; modifications can range from altering their planet habitability to adding an additional positive trait or removing a negative one.

Organic traits

Traits are purchased from a points pool, with 2 points being available at the start of the game. Some traits are negative and have a negative cost, refunding points into the pool. Each species is limited to a maximum of 5 traits; non-standard traits do not count against this limit. Non-standard traits are all traits that have a cost of zero.

Initial traits

Initial traits are available when first creating a species. They can all be changed later via genetic modification. Initial traits can be both positive and negative, with the two being mutually exclusive. Traits that affect Mod pop happiness.png Happiness cannot be added to species with the Hive-minded.png Hive-Minded trait.

Origin traits

Origin traits can only be given by certain Origins. The Trait primitive.png Serviles trait can be removed after researching the Tech genetic resequencing.png Genetic Resequencing technology but other origin traits are permanent. All origin traits have a 33% chance of being inherited by hybrid species.

Special traits

These traits are required for special cases of species and cannot be removed from the creation menu.

The Leader trait ruler hive mind.png Hive-Minded trait can only be added by hive mind empires and can only be removed by empires that are not hive minds. Pops with this trait in an non-Hive Mind empire will slowly die while pops without the Hive-Minded trait in a Hive Mind empire can only be displaced, purged or used as livestock.

Special traits that cost trait points can be removed via the biological ascension path. Special traits that do not cost trait points have a fixed chance of being inherited by hybrid species.

Climate preference traits

Each organic species has a climate preference trait that determines their base Mod habitability.png Habitability on the various types of planets, usually that corresponding to the type of their homeworld. Habitability traits can be changed through genetic modification, but a pop can never have more than one Habitability trait. The Habitability of other celestial body types is unaffected by these traits.

Robotic traits

All Robotic Pops have either the Trait mechanical.png Mechanical or the Auth machine intelligence.png Machine trait. Both traits grant +200% Mod habitability.png Habitability on all planets. Trait mechanical.png Mechanical Pops can exist within Auth machine intelligence.png Machine Intelligence empires via conquest but Auth machine intelligence.png Machine Pops cannot exist outside Auth machine intelligence.png Machine Intelligence empires. All Robotic Pops can then be given new traits through Robomodding, a few of them being restricted to Trait mechanical.png Mechanical or Auth machine intelligence.png Machine pops. Robotic Traits can be both positive and negative, which are mutually exclusive with each other, and both of them can be added and removed at will once the technology to enable Robomodding becomes available.

Empires that are not Auth machine intelligence.png Machine Intelligence must research higher tiers of robot technologies before they can add some of the more powerful traits to Robot Pops.
