[b]1-2-3 Personalities[/b] is the first entry in a [b]series of social mods[/b] based around idea of modularity and letting players choose how much in-depth impact they want:

[b]1-2-3 Personalities[/b] makes each colonist a unique being: thinking, talking and behaving differently, depending on who they are and who they interact with. This mod is designed as a much more compatible, less game-file invasive successor of [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2016263135]Psychology[/url], while adding new game mechanics and decision-making.

This part of the mod grants every pawn a set of characteristics using [url=https://i.ibb.co/hFnZDnM/image.png]this pattern[/url] and a vast pool of descriptions. M1 can be used as a stand-alone for storytelling purposes, with no impact on performance and pristine compatibility.
Animals got simple personalities as well! They grant small bonuses, so be sure to switch them off in mod options if you want a truly vanilla balance.
Kind animals have [b]20% lower nuzzle interval[/b], intense deal [b]10% more damage[/b], energetic move [b]0.20 faster[/b] and calm can [b]carry 20% more[/b] items.

All pawns are granted a multi-layered psychological profile to achieve pawn uniqueness. There are ~1 300 000 possible personalities, further differed with description variety.
On its own, M1 just generates a believable personality and displays a fitting description.
[h1]Personality type[/h1]
Whole system is loosely based on the [b]Enneagram[/b]. You can learn more about your pawn’s personality by googling [i]“Enneagram + their type”[/i]. There are 9 main personality types recognized by color, each with 4 subtypes. They are a sort of “character class”, like a warrior or mage, but social.
[h1]Psychological drive[/h1]
This is a very generalized characteristic that describes how colonists make decisions and respond to events or people. It might not add too much for the narrative, but it’s an easy way to check if in general pawns act more similar or different.
[url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2781023972]Module 2[/url] is all about making those similarities and differences matter in small, intuitive ways.
[h1]Character traits[/h1]
Each pawn has 2-3 character traits. [b]These are entirely separate from vanilla traits.[/b] There is no reason to deny a Tough-Beautiful-Brawler colonist a personality, just because they ran out of trait slots.
At least one character trait is guaranteed to be closely tied to pawn’s personality type and get strong description. There’s a 33% chance that pawn will be generated with 3rd character trait. (With [url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2781023972]Module 2[/url] active, pawns can also gain it during the game after worldview-changing events.) 3rd character traits are sometimes hidden under vague text lines.
[b]Character traits do not influence pawn statistics.[/b] Module 3 will make them important, but it’s focused mostly on social interactions.
[h1]Psychopaths[/h1]
Pawns with Psychopath trait have unique description pool. It varies from real-world psychopathy and sociopathy through movie tropes to random gibberish. For the M2 and M3 purposes they do have character traits, but they are hidden. [b]Psychopaths are meant to be the wild cards[/b], influencing social life of the colony in unpredictable ways.

[list][*][url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2567599974]Serious Animals[/url] – changes animal personalities to short, down-to-earth descriptions
[*][url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2567609886]Anime Romance[/url] – replaces Enneagram personality types with anime archetypes
[*][url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2784393849]RPG Alignments[/url] – swaps Enneagram types for classic D&D character alignments
[*][url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2798112027]16 Personalities[/url] – patches 16 personalities over corresponding Enneagram types[/list]

Currently work is focused on M2 compatibility testing and making M3.
M1 will be updated to offer some more mod options (i.e. a possibility to switch off animal personality reveals) as well as the Worldviews tab initially meant for M3, with an option to migrate personality text there, out from Bio. This should help notebook/low resolution players solve their UI issues.

There are a lot more frequently asked questions than I can squeeze under the workshop sign cap, so [url=https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/2527258500/3052859736124137533/]here's the separate FAQ[/url] thread. Somewhere down the line you can find also a tutorial for personality editor.
Remember that only [b][url=https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1874644848]Character Editor[/url][/b] can save personalities for later use, [b]Prepare Carefully[/b] can't.
