More methods of getting new colonists

[starlight]

I have been a Kickstarter backer, and in the very first release the method of integrating colonists by making them prisoners made sense. It was, after all, an alpha release.

I played Alpha 7 sometime back, and loved all the additions since Alpha 1. The immersion loss from the prisoner issue is really jarring. (I didn't feel like taking them at all, resulting in a really small team).

Please provide other means, as well, of increasing the community size in Rimworld.

Or maybe give more use to that double beds doing posible marry between the colonist XD... i know, is a great change to make, but is confuse for me make a double bed for only one colonist in the game XD

Meh, bioengineering is much more fun than conventional methods. I want human crafting!

I love having a double bed for my own (and I'm very afraid of what will happen when I have to share it again).
Therefore my pawns get a double bed too. But maybe, sometime Mr. T. will add in those social possibilities so we can grown more meat, uh i meant children.

hahaha, H_D i like it too, but maybe is more creative (or realistic) the android/robotic crafting more than bioengineering?....

Faster? Yes. More creative and realistic? Yes. But it's canon in Rimworld that people are "crafted" if they are needed, because they are "cheaper" in the making (doesn't really need expensive materials / materials you could use in another place), they regnerate, they can survive in many situations, they can adapt more quickly, don't need a established infrastructure to be able to survive (don't need a recharging station) etc. But the most hindering factor is: TIME. A robot/android can be crafted within days (in rl), but a human can/will take YEARS to be usefull... unless you speed the maturing process up and combine that with some sort of VR training for the "Vat colonist".

And finally: Do you know the MAI mod? You can craft androids with it for some materials and research time (better research every aspect for the AI, because they don't let you at their "brain" after activation)
