Colonists with negative traits, who may be more difficult to manage, cost less to unlock - while a colonist with more positive values will cost more. Ego DNA cost is directly proportional to the value of the colonists positive attributes. There’s a small icon showing DNA currency in your topbar - and at the bottom of each colonist's information is a DNA cost to unlock.

Under traits are a set of other preferences - these are specific tasks which the colonist may love, hate, or refuse to do. Each of these can be hovered over to display more details.
Negative traits are colored red, positive traits are green, and neutral traits are grey. The icons in each of the colonist ego details indicate key traits which will drive the colonists behavior and determine how they'll interact with other colonists.
