A (growing) list of what babies can do:

[jonyb222]

Hello everyone, I figured it would be a good idea to make a list of what work babies can do for reference to save from wasting skills on them that they cannot do.

This initial will just be what I observe on my crew and will for sure need refinement:

Babies CAN:

• Fish
  
• Load and Fire Cannons
  
• Fight, but I haven`t used it much because I assume it would be a bad idea

It *appears* Babies CANNOT:

• Clean
  
• Cook

Again, this is just a starting point but I figured starting a list is better than nothing

I am sailing with an entire crew of babies and so far there is nothing they cant do. I started with the captain as an adult but after my first set of 4 babies got to around level 5 i killed off the captain

Can babies grow up?

Babies certainly CAN cook.

[¡x Mr. Vain x!]

? Babies can Clean and Cook
Afaik there's no downsides other than protecting them at level 1

[GrimJester]

even at level one you can get them to 28 health just by giving them a consumable so they are not that hard to protect really. They cost no pay and have no morale so there is really no downside i can find

Cleaning used to be a bit fickle. Sometimes the crewmate just didn't feel like it.

[gem_crafter]

they can clean
thats what i use the babys for the grunt work
my entire ship is maintaind by babys
they have no douwn side other that lower hp

[ScreamingBeast]

Sometimes the cleaning bugs out when there's a piece of unreachable poop on your ship somewhere

This thread is hilarious. Yay for infant labor.

[Captain Seasick]

My question is: why the hell are babies in the game to begin with? This honestly seems like a really dumb april fools joke that's gone on too long.

[AlexeBasta99]

You guys gave me a lot of great ideas. Time to exploit some infants!

[Billy Bo Bob Brain]

Babies are in the game because sometimes when a boy pirate really, really loves a girl pirate they have a special moments together...

[MMD]

they can cook and clean :D

[MMD]

they're good at fight, had to put 100% dodge and it become a 'free" fighter/tank

[Hakipi]

Strap kaboom on them and send them into the fray
