So can't help noticing that all those fantastic options in dev mod do not contain age editing. How can I edit the colonists' age in the game whenever I want? (Since I hope I can let some key characters live forever in some of my saves).
Anything such as dev mode, mods, and edit saves are more than welcome. Thanks rimworlders!
Not sure, but i didn't found any.
I would use a good text editor,
backup the safegame,
open the safegame,
Use the text editor search function to search for the pawn's name
and look for a number that's fit his age and change it,
safe the safegame
load it at Rimworld and check it it worked.
That's what I've attempted to do, however, the number is not displayed in years but a super long number (ticks?), not sure how to edit it precisely. Plus, can't help but feeling tired editing the save frequently. But still thanks! If you can specify the method of edit save (how to edit the numbers per se), it would be much appreciated.
if you know ahead of time what team of characters you wanna play with, you can use prepare carefully
if it's too late for that, i dont know what to do either
Prepare carefully enables editing before games, NOT in game. Is there another mod that enables in game editing?
(Prepare Carefully IG? LOL)
Cryptorestore Caskets (https://ludeon.com/forums/index.php?topic=39244) can help you to reduce the age. I think I saw some age-related features in other mods but can't remember exactly.

On steam there is Clone Bay (http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1304432145) that Adds 3 buildings that allow to revive dead colonists.

If you are editing the save files then the pawn's age is <ageBiologicalTicks> and to convert from ticks to years (and vice verse) divide (or multiply) by 3,600,000.
For the chronological age, you need to do <ticksGame> + <gameStartAbsTick> - <birthAbsTicks> then divide by 3,600,000 to get the age in years.
You could try the mod Polarisbloc - Core LAB (https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1208786220). It contains a surgery to decrease the age of your pawns.
