The point of this mod is to add a a variety of neutral traits to the game. Each species can only have one. They are meant to help add a dose of sometimes silly flavor to trait variety.

Without touching the core AI personality files I have made it so that the AI personalities spawn when using traits with similar effects to the vanilla ones that they require.

If you have any balance concerns or notice a bug, please let me know.
