[1.3.3080] Demand for age reversal is absolute, but should be relative

The value determining the age for the age reversal in the bio sculpting pod is absolute. This means it works for regular humans, but races with different life expectancies like elves (astoriel)... expect to be age reversed even though they are still children for their race. If their life expectancy is eg. 1000, they demand an age reversal at 100, even though they are just 10 in their years.

The fix should be easy: If currently the need for age reversal is set ot a constant value eg. 50, divide it by the human life expectancy (80) and multiply by a variable representing each pawn's own life expectancy.

Hi,
since vanilla rimworld only got humans, you should move your request to the author of the alienrace.
Basicly they allready encounter age illness before at long living races, or every 100+ year old elven would have bad back and other age illness.

I know it is a mod issue, but I tried asking here, as having a fix in every of the hundreds of race mods instead of an one-liner, from what I can see, seemed a bit meh to me.

I haven't played for hundreds of in-game years yet, but the elves I encountered (eg. in raids) so far were two hundred years old and up and none of them had any age related illnesses. One of my colonists even asked for a doll (children colonists want this with the Babies and Children mod), while simultaniously demanding an age reversal. I guess being an innocent child forever does not sound so bad.

Look, the pod thing is new to 1.3 while most of these races are just bumped updated to 1.3 without new features.
Prolly the author arn't realy aware of that issue because they didn't play RW anymore (many modders just update their mods as support but don't develop them anymore).
Try to ask at the mod discussion or create an issue when they use github/gitlab so they can adjust the mod.
