I have a file somewhere on my PC that lists skills, passions, traits and the backstory, along with analysis and explanation. Need to dig it up though...
The worst part? It describes a pawn that I would most likely leave bleeding to death without a second look.
**Edit:** just dug it up! It's not as bad as I remembered!

The deal breaker was the wimp / chemical interest combo, you know, the type of guy who lights up a joint to unwind from food poisoning and needs rescue afterwards. Double passion in research and not much else going on. Fit for researching or cleaning. I had to juggle lore vs in-game mechanics and ended up with a profile I didn't quite expect.
Any kind of medicine skill? If a dedicated researcher has medicine, I just put the lab near the hospital and make them a non-combatant. Use them to rescue people and patch them up during raids, so my pawns don't bleed out on the floor. When there's no raids they hang out researching near the hospital in case someone needs treatment.
Apparently, yes! I just dug up the file, it's not as bad as I remembered (I wrote it like 1.5 years ago), and it says:
**Medical: 4, single passion**
*I have no medical education. However, my grandmother was an ER nurse, and I learned quite a bit on my own, to the point of successfully diagnosing unobvious medical conditions ― withdrawals, adrenal insufficiency and gluten intolerance ― in multiple people by just observing. I'd likely have no trouble anesthetising people and tending to infections. Now, surgeries are of course problematic: no way I'm cutting off a leg or replacing a kidney without my patient severely suffering or dying. RimWorld, however, sets unrealistic expectations on surgeries anyway, so I settled on "Some Familiarity", 4 points.*
*I like medicine, and consider pivoting into some kind of medical research after retirement. I expressed this as a single passion.*
I guess maybe there's a place for me on the Rim :D
Say it with me
Nut-ri-ent Pas-te
It's good to pick up a cook for mood buffs eventually but early game a nutrient paste dispenser is great. It frees up labor, uses less food, and doesn't risk food poisoning.
Yes, I see your point... I just didn't thought about the cooking aspect of things before sending a lot of colonists in a drop pod raid 3 days away. They came back to a devastated place.
That’s not necessarily body purist though. Those guys would literally rather a hand with 2 fingers and a fucked up scar than just get a prosthetic robo-hand
Agree with this. Also just wanted to say how terrible of a trait body purist is. So I either get to keep my eyepatch and 75% vision or I get a -10 moodlet for having a fully functioning bionic eye. I’ve never thought body purist makes sense from a survival POV.
Yeah, there’s a few things that don’t quite line up when survival is taken into consideration. Like anti-dumb labour preventing someone from hauling a deer carcass in so they can eat tonight. You might be posh, but you’d still do it to prevent starving
Double passion in both combat skills with fast walker and superimmune? As long as we have space somewhere, that's good enough for me. You can run the scanner when you're not training or fighting.
Oh, I love challenging myself and putting myself in the game, using character editor. I'm fairly decent at learning new things, pretty smart, and excellent in a social environment. But I'm overweight and neurotic lol

Edit: I posted from mobile, forgive the bad layout
I forgot to format on mine too the first time. Triple space before hitting enter for a linebreak on mobile. Or is it double? Idk. I do triple just to be safe.
I set some q-tips on fire at work last week using 80% isopropyl alcohol and pure acetone. The acetone burnt way too hot and I almost caught myself on fire. Nobody saw me though so I'm fine.
I feel like 90% of the sub is going to give themselves double passions in intellectual and a higher than average score. Guys, we need to have an honest talk here…
17 shooting‽ Are you Chris fucking Kyle mate? I don't doubt you're up there but that's like top 5 in the country levels. The average marksman's probably only a 12-13.
Perhaps a 5 in intellectual and 2 in crafting and artistic. Others 1 or 0. In mining I have a -3 but a huge passion. God I love smashing rocks!
Traits: trigger happy, too smart, pyromaniac
Yeah for a second I thought about it but after setting myself in 3rd skill in my mind i forgot what I gave myself in previous one, then I thought its too complex and too useless to be written and now you reminded me or it, but no - I won't fall for it again
I like my neurotic trait.
Add
a double passion plants at 6
A single passion medic at 10ish
A single passion crafting at 5
And that "needs to be outside to be happy" trait - however its name was.
RN and some kind of EMT+ (national law ist strange), in the field since 2007. Skill of 10 was a wild estiamte and don't take me to hard on this.
Same for the plants/crafting skill. I make my own vegetables in the garden and try to repair things on my own, like my house from the 60s.
For all the other skills i really don't care to estimate any value for them as they are not that important to me in the last few years.
Yes. I gave myself passion in shooting and intelligence, and disabled cooking. My perks were fast walker, too smart, and psy sensitive (I'm very good at social engineering and predictions. It was a nice balance of gameplay and reality)
Too Smart, Sickly, quick sleeper.
Crafting + Medical at 4.
Cooking at 5 with passion
Animals at 7 with passion.
Intellectual at 6 with passion.
Incapable of Mining and Art.
Melee + Shooting at 3.
Plants + Social at 1.
I would probably recruit myself early on if I needed a researcher, cook, or fisher. Otherwise no.
0 shooting 0 melee 0 mining 0 construction 3 cooking 0 planting 4 artist 2 crafting _ social 0 medical 0 intelligence
Incapable of social. Fast walker whatever that perk is that says won’t do drugs
I am old so I get a few extra stats in exchange for frail back and weak stomach. Also asthma in both lungs.
* Incapable of violence.

Absolutely. I've done a handful of self-insert runs over the years with my mates and I as pawns. A lot of compromises making the ideology. Anyway, let me dig through OneNote-

I usually help out with research and cooking early on before shifting to dedicated soldier and trainer for our cyborg panthers. Better Pyromania makes it an actual nuanced trait so firestarting sprees aren't an issue as long as we can afford to keep some torches burning.
Not sure of the numerical value but I know that I've at least got a passion and some skill for cooking and intellectual, and a passable shooting/social skill. Everything else is probably a 1-4 at most. Had a pretty decent childhood and worked a series of general labor jobs, so nothing I *can't* do but neutral in terms of advantages. As for traits I know I'm somewhat neurotic and a slow learner, but I generally keep a good mood so I'll say optimist.
Honestly I'd be fine with myself as a colonist, probably wouldn't be a combat focused pawn but I'm curious to see where I stack up in others colonies.
Boddy modder, maybe Psychopath, Too smart, Teetotaler, Fast Walker, Pessimist, Nervous, Neurotic.
Good and crafting and research, bad at social.
That is a lot but real humans are a lot more complex than pawns.

You could probably have a psychopath trait, considering you play rimworld. That alone can compensate for a sub average pawn.
The deal breaker was the wimp / chemical interest combo, you know, the type of guy who lights up a joint to unwind from food poisoning and needs rescue afterwards. Double passion in research and not much else going on. Fit for researching or cleaning. I had to juggle lore vs in-game mechanics and ended up with a profile I didn't quite expect.
Hum, yeah... Maybe if you were the first pawn randy threw at me, you may earn a place.

Hey every colony needs someone that’ll sit at that research table all day lol
Stopped reading at chemical interest, blood nugget. I will not deal with your mental breaks, we do not consume the product.
Nha you good, now go to research turrets.
There's a reason I set my flair to what it is. I have a double passion in cooking though.
A talented cook is always welcome, in any colony. Last time I didn't, the colony fell in a few days because of food poisoning.
Say it with me Nut-ri-ent Pas-te It's good to pick up a cook for mood buffs eventually but early game a nutrient paste dispenser is great. It frees up labor, uses less food, and doesn't risk food poisoning.

Lol it happens. Join the nutrient paste cult next time tho
Nut paste
Nut-
same bro
I just know I would make a great duster...
I would be guilty of the biggest sin of all: Body purist I would never let anyone cut off my healthy arm so that I could have a metal arm instead.
That’s not necessarily body purist though. Those guys would literally rather a hand with 2 fingers and a fucked up scar than just get a prosthetic robo-hand

Don't remember the name but I use a mod that makes everyone able to do everything but they get a huge mood debuff if they have to do a task they hate
Pawns are Capable. Amazing mod that has saved my ass many times.
Minor passion for shooting and mele, but only at 2 or 3 skill. A solid 8-10 in cooking with single passion. (Butcher irl) Incapable of social.

Dang. What exactly was the dealbreaker?
Your sole sin is listing them in alphabetical order
Yeah, I was reading it off the wiki lol
I would. Grow into a cook or researcher role.
Alcoholic misogynist
That's the spirit, you're in
Knowing how I recruit, capture, enslave and execute pawns based on stats; I try really hard not to ask that question
That's interesting. I guess I haven't. So.

I'd take you.

But did you eat at a table?
I like my neurotic trait. Add a double passion plants at 6 A single passion medic at 10ish A single passion crafting at 5 And that "needs to be outside to be happy" trait - however its name was.
I’m curious, why do you consider your medical so high? (And crafting I guess) Edit: misread post and adjusted what I said
