So, can we talk about this for a sec?

I'm sorry, but I couldn't help but to notice a few things here:

Code Select Expand


<gestationPeriodDays>90</gestationPeriodDays>
...
<lifeStageAges>
        <li>
          <def>HumanlikeBaby</def>
          <minAge>0</minAge>
        </li>
        <li>
          <def>HumanlikeToddler</def>
          <minAge>1.2</minAge>
        </li>
        <li>
          <def>HumanlikeChild</def>
          <minAge>4</minAge>
        </li>
        <li>
          <def>HumanlikeTeenager</def>
          <minAge>13</minAge>
        </li>
        <li>
          <def>HumanlikeAdult</def>
          <minAge>18</minAge>
        </li>
</lifeStageAges>


Can we please talk about why this is in the vanilla xml?

Apparently humans like babies, children, toddlers, and apparently teenagers and adults, but I can confirm that in fact, human do not like teenagers and adults as they are no longer adorable.

Damn it, Was hoping we wouldn't have to disappear any more people...

To my understanding, Tynan & Ison have just put in the framework for every kind of pawn, and intend to flesh it out later.

At the moment you can use Dev menu to induce pregnancy and childbirth in colonist pawns.

"...intend to flesh it out later..."

I'm too big of a Sims fan to have to look at this code and not have baby colonists running around amidst this chaos.

Imagine the emotions that would come to players with child death/kidnappings

I know the idea of adding re-population is hugely controversial to some RimWorld players, and I'll respect their point of view;
however, I can't help but to get super excited by the presence of this little tid-bit of code in the human race xml

[Coenmcj]

Yeah, I can understand that.
It's just at the moment, I don't think there's any custom character models for the different lifestages, nor a way to actually induce any of it yet, outside of dev mode.

Judging by the looks of the code, Colonies are going to be able to reach atleast the 18th year mark. (Unless that's in months or days, through magical... glitterworld tech.)

[mumblemumble]

"teen"  colonists are already a thing, having it in their title.  "teen male colonist". I think it doesn't effect anything though.

[DustBust]

I like! Hopefully its controllable. Like designate a female for repopulation lol

Man there is going to be some good sigs coming out of this thread, i can feel it
