编辑“Phi mp balancing/Phi traits”（章节）

== 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 {{iconify|Happiness}} cannot be added to species with the {{iconify|Hive-Minded}} trait.

The {{iconify|Agrarian}}, {{iconify|Adaptive}} and {{iconify|Rapid Breeders}} traits are not available to species with the {{iconify|Lithoid}} trait although the latter two can be added if the {{iconify|Genetic Resequencing|24px}} technology has been researched.

==== Origin traits ====
Origin traits can only be given by certain Origins. The {{iconify|Serviles}} trait can be removed after researching the {{iconify|Genetic Resequencing|24px}} technology but other origin traits are permanent. All origin traits have a 33% chance of being inherited by hybrid species.

=== Special traits ===
{{SVersion|3.0}}
These traits are required for special cases of species and cannot be removed from the creation menu.

The {{icon|Hive Mind (trait)}} 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.

=== Biological ascension traits ===

Biological ascension traits are only half as likely as standard traits to be inherited by hybrid species.
