How to find provisions as a child

[Dan]

hi! very much enjoying the RtP dlc! Just killed myself by eating some poisoned food. So now I am in charge of a 10 person camp as my 6yo son. As a child you're not allowed to 'visit castle holding'. That's kind of the place I'm doing my grocery shopping game!

I know after some contracts I can ask for provisions, but that doesn't seem to be ideal. Anyone has any ideas? Can I send someone to the castle to get provisions?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Can you Meet Peers as a Wanderer? Might be an event in there

There is also the option to "forage for food" (or hunt for food?) or something to that effect. I'm not sure where you can find this, as I'm operating out of my fuzzy memory... I think it might be in decisions? Maybe even only when you are moving your camp? And of course: I don't know if it is not possible to do this as a child or not. So... just something to check out for yourself and hope it helps!

There is an Mod, which allows Childs to visit Holdings as Adventurer.
It is called ChildCanVisitSettlement.

It’s in the same section of the decision as “pet your dog”, “embrace celebecy”, etc and it’s a timed decision. In other words once you use it you have to wait a period of time before you can use it again. Also because you are a child you have a higher chance of getting nothing at all.

Unfortunately as a child you have to continually move your camp to get new contacts. Also there are certain contract types that give only (or mostly) provisions so keep your eyes open for those. I think it was diplomatic contracts that tend to have more provision rewards.

Thanks for your replies, a mod it's going to be. Quite strange that the developers didn't spot this.

Most likely they will fix this, if it comes to their attention.

Can I tag the developers or send a bug report somewhere?

From what I've read you actually don't need them as a kid, apparently until the age of 16 medieval children just used photosynthesis according to Paradox
