Age

[Jet]

I keep running into colonists who are old. Specially women. Im going to run Children and pregnancy mod so this really hurts the game for me as most colonists worth recruiting are already in their 40s. Is there a way to decrease age through the dev menu? It seems really lopsided

Older colonist tend to have higher skills, since A) they have more expierence and B) to offset their age a bit.

yeah it poses a problem when you are trying to have kids and there are 5 dudes and 1 50 year old woman

Dunno about the dev mode/mods but there's an option to set age range in scenario editor when starting new game.
With simple copy+paste you can add that to existing saves too, which achieves nothing actually.

In dev mode you can make a pawn give birth automatically, male or female. if you have the children and pregnancy mod active it may generate a child pawn and not an adult or young adult pawn like in vanilla. i am curious what that would do with that particular mod active actually. iirc child pawns were or are in the game code but inactive in vanilla.

Without modding, there are no kids.

Quoting myself here but this is just for the starting colonists?
I had a juvenile rehab center in previous version with age range and it seemed to work globally there or is that just my memory playing tricks?
