I kinda think that the babies in Rimworld are super unrealistic. Therefore I have a few ways to improve this feature.
-Rather then a baby being born being as tall as their mum, they should be really small, not have ANY backstory, and not be able to walk.
-Babies should be breastfed, or given formula (wich would have to be researched)
-Rather then just spawning a baby when a woman gives birth, wich happens after a certain time, and nothing else, a woman should feel pain when the gestation period ends, be rushed to the infirmiary or her bed, and possibly need a c-section, among other health risks.
-Misscariages should be possible if the woman takes too much damage during the pregnancy, drinks beer, or uses other drugs, some having a larger chance of causing a miscarriage then others.
-Diapers. 'Nuff said.
-Babies shouldn't need an entire bed. Cribs should be able to get build.
-When a child is born, the parents should get a LARGE mood bonus.
-When there's a misscariage, there should be a mood penalty that's the same as the regular "child died" penalty.
-When a baby's crib is in the same room as it's parents, the parent's should get a mood bonus.
-Premature birth.
-When a mother is deadly ill (For example, an extreme neck infection with immune only being at 46%), the baby should be able to be delivered prematurely with a c-section.
I really think that atleast SOME of these should be implemented, because the current way pregnancy, birth and babies work in RimWorld is just completely unrealistic.
inb4 you folks start another shitstorm polite, gentle and productive discussion on this thread
Pregnancy and children are a frequently suggested topic, here's a detailed thread about it - https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=11925.0
umm do the humans give birth in the game? I know in the dev tools you can "make give birth" or whatever to humans and they give birth to normal size, but I don't think it is in the game yet is it?
I want to know what mod you're using that prematurely enabled children, because to my knowledge the only way to add "children" is to click a button in Developer Mode that just spawns a new randomized naked colonist.
Since children aren't implemented in the game in any way (to my knowledge), most of your suggestions are probably obvious to the point of being unnecessary.
