Trait

Alien DNA

You volunteered for a controversial experiment that combines alien and human DNA. As a result, you start with increased health and oxygen, but healing and food items aren't as effective.

Stacking

Its carry capacity, O2 recovery, CO2 recovery buffs don't stack with other items' buffs to the same stat: only the strongest one applies.

Taking another Colonel's Choice refreshes its timers instead of stacking; everything else it does stacks freely with other consumables.
