What Clumsy Does
Clumsy is a flat Work Speed -10% — the milder version of
Slacker
(-30%). Like its bigger sibling it has no upside, and its only mercy is
that Pals which never work at a base (pure fighters and mounts) don't craft, so on them it's harmless dead weight.
How to Get Rid of It
Overwrite it at the
Pal Surgery Table
with any
unlocked passive — the 10,000-gold default
Serious
(+20%) is already a 30-point
work speed swing. Clumsy isn't on the surgery menu, so once it's overwritten it's gone for good; the
implants guide lists everything that can replace it. When
breeding, cull carriers or simply fix the finished Pal with one cheap surgery.
