[1.0] Children and Pregnancy - v0.5b (2019/Feb/25)

[Chezzprinn]

Any chance you could look into a potential compatibility patch for EHBS? Tbh, I'm only going on the word of the mod author for it who says it's incompatible, as I haven't actually encountered anything bad besides stuttering when pawns are active (don't know if that's the fault of C and P, though).

Anyone who wants to stop pirates from bringing children to the battlefield, open the Human.xml in the Patches folder and add

Code Select Expand

  <!-- No children for pirates -->
 
    <Operation Class="PatchOperationSequence">
<success>Always</success>
<operations>
<li Class="PatchOperationAdd">
<xpath>Defs/PawnKindDef[@Name="MercenaryBase" or @Name="PirateBase"]</xpath>
<value>
<minGenerationAge>13</minGenerationAge>
</value>
</li>
</operations>
</Operation>

Hostile tribal factions still have children, there is no lore-friendly explanation for changing this.

Do you mind if I merge that into the repo?

[Kori]

I'd feel honored.

Kori and I were chatting about this-- I'm planning to make a "disable pregnancy" option for compatibility reasons. Though if you just don't want married couples to have kids you should either just use contraceptives or sterilize one of them, rather than relying on mod options as a game mechanic.

Great, thanks! That would be really helpful.

Thanks Thirite! Much appreciated as always. What will happen if impregnation has succeeded but I decide to enable "disable pregnancy"? Does the chance go back to zero or does gestation continue where it left off?

[Thirite]

Disable Pregnancy for now only disables conception chance. I could certainly make it remove any existing CnP pregnancies, though.

Gotcha thanks. Was wondering if it paused any in progress pregnancies but it's good to know. Maybe it would be good to have disable pregnancy pause pregnancy instead as there are already drugs to terminate any pregnancies or prevent conception.

Thanks for the credit Thirite, but all I did was letting Visual Studios assemble a new dll and gave some functions directions what do to when failing  --> public override bool TryMakePreToilReservations(bool errorOnFailed)<-- that was all.
I really had to laugh when I read the "fixed many bugs". 

And I wanted to thank you for your great mod. It's the thing that makes a great game to an excellent one. Now my pawns have a real goal to keep a colony alive and running instead of just a temporary stop towards the end.

Hey, getting the following error when pawns are going to play with a baby.

Any idea what's causing it?

I got the same errors, it is caused by the empty textures in the Textures\Things\Pawn\Humanlike folder.
When you open this folder you will find three textures called null_east, null_north, null_south.
Open them with a graphics editor of your choice (Paint will do) and place a single pixel in light grey somewhere in the middle.

You won't notice it while playing and the errors will be gone.

Sorry, i don't think you could add clothes to babies and toddlers yet, diapers aren't yet made for them...
