Amevian Hatchery bugged.

[Low Ping Pingu]

None of the children are growing into adults, instead one of the children disappear and a single baby is added in their place.

Are you sure about that? I am running a mainly amevian town and the hatcheries seem to work fine. Check the ages of your amevians under population. There should be a big gap in the graph, since immigrants are never very young.

[Low Ping Pingu]

I'm sure, the population never increased.
I double checked to see if i accidentally set the limit in the hatchery to what my population was at the time but it was set to fifty more than i had.

I eventually demolished the building to see if rebuilding fixed the issue and three of the five children instantly turned into adults and were added to the population count with the other two disappearing.

Weird, mine are working, but it is pretty difficult to tell, if all of the children become adults, since I have a few more. This sounds very weird, unless children just generate an adult out of thin air somewhere, when they come of age and then revert back to babies, which would be pretty funny.

I'm pretty sure this save is scuffed, i just had 21 subjects appear in the 0-4 demographic and everyone between 37-93 disappeared from the chart with no change in the total population.

I've had several other bugs i've never encountered appear during this save also.

[Vanir]

Had similar things happen with the demographic view. Were those perhaps your youngest people? The army grabs the youngest citizens first, so battle losses can lead to weird graph changes.

I've just loaded the game up again and the demographic chart has completely changed again.

This current save i'm on year 24 and have a population of 235 Amevians, we haven't had any battles or raids yet. This time the 0-4 bracket is at 16 and everyone in the 28-84 area has disappeared with no change to the population number.

No time has passed since my last comment as i had just saved and left in case the save is needed for testing.

[Vanir]

Ok, definitely bugged then. I just thought I lost too many people with a dash of going slowly mad.

I have no clue about this. I don't see a way a child can disappear. They grow into adults independent of the nursery. Don't trust the demography UI ATM. It's just visual. Best is to inspect the list of all subjects, sort by age, and see if there really isn't any in that age group that would match.

[Low Ping Pingu]

I've loaded it up to do what you suggested and yet again the demographics have changed.
No time has passed and according to the demographic chart now nobody over 93 exists and that there is 7 subjects in the 0-4 bracket.

Which after checking the population ages both are incorrect, there isn't anyone in the settlement below the age of 6 and there are 3 above the age of 93.

This shows the 0-4 bracket

I'm going to try shutting down the game again and relaunching to see if it changes again, if so i will edit this comment.

Edit: I tried loading and relaunching twice and both times everything was identical to the screenshots above. I let a day pass and there was no unusual change to individual ages or the demographic chart.

The demographics might be FUBAR in your case, because I made a fix, I don't remember at what minor version. That is just some UI candy though, and doesn't affect your game. But it looks like you have a couple of 6-year olds in your city. Aren't these your now grown children? I think Amevia grows up at year 6, could be wrong..
