Grease Monkey

Grease Monkey is a Duplicant trait. The trait’s flavor text describes a Duplicant who “likes to throw a wrench into the colony’s plans… in a good way,” presenting a playful, tinkering personality. Equivalent phrasings in other locales convey the same idea: a Duplicant that enjoys tinkering, “putting sticks in the wheels” of the colony in a positive sense, or otherwise meddling with machinery and plans in ways that help rather than hinder.

The trait is purely descriptive in tone and emphasizes a hands-on, mechanically curious character. The various translations — rendered as liking to throw a wrench, loving to tinker, or enjoying messing with the colony’s mechanisms — all underline a common theme of constructive interference: this Duplicant is the sort of person who will dig into systems, try adjustments, and take a mechanical approach to problems.

• Flavor: Presents a mechanic-minded, tinkering personality; the wording is intentionally playful and suggests constructive meddling rather than sabotage.
• Roleplay guidance: The trait suits a duplicant narrative of someone who prefers fixing, modifying, and experimenting with equipment and layouts.
• Player expectations: The line is descriptive flavor text and communicates personality rather than enumerating specific in-game numeric effects. Treat the trait as a cue for behavior and assignment choices rather than a direct specification of gameplay mechanics.
