So, there's no birth?

[rolypoly]

I had some colonists hook up, get married, and then for years later now no pregnancy.
So I take it the game doesn't have any childbirth?
If so, this is a bummer to realise, cuz I'm stuck with all the same characters for ever, minus the minuscule churn from prisoners.

There are mods that add childbirth, children, and managing kids to adulthood into the game. Otherwise no, there's no childbirth in the core game or dlc.

There is no human pregnancy and no children in Vanilla game because:

Rimworld is a game with violence and death does occur very often, thus children and pregnant women dying would do no good to the game. I am sure you can understand that.

Waiting til a newborn turns into a colonist seems... Unrealistic to me, after a certain point, the lag monster gets you and 16 years in game = 16 * 60 = 960 days.

After 6 years in my colony, Einstein's relativity is easy to notice and it looks like my Rimworld planet is orbiting close to a blackhole. Or maybe Chris Nolan is shooting Interstellar 2 close by...

However, modding your game can offer you some alternatives such as:

And it is just a tiny percentage of what the workshop has to offer. However, if this is your first playthrough, keep it unmodded, play Vanilla all the way, then you can mod the game for a brand new experience.

Wow I think that children mod is perfect for what I want. I'll try it out!
Why do you suggest to finish playing Vanilla first before trying the mod? I'm looking for mods like these because I'm starting to get bored of the base game, there's no way I'm going to "finish" it lol.

children & pregnancy mod is experiencing some bugs right now, nothing gamebreaking (for me) just annoying.... lag & visual issues

however, prior to the new update it was the BEST mod
i love the storytelling aspect it provides... having grandmothers and uncles and aunts visit my colony through trade caravans, having a pack of kids running around the compound... life on the rim is pretty sweet
(unless there are six toddlers clinging to your hardened arcotech veteran, demanding to be played with, hehe)

yes it's a violent game but like,,,, do you guys think bringing a baby into the world isn't violent, extremely dangerous, & gory too??

Because learning every aspect of a Vanilla game will help you figuring out what the game lacks (in YOUR opinion) and then figuring out what mods you need.
Of course, if you have played like 50 hours on your colony and feel like it is going nowhere, then get some fresh start, with mods if you wish.

I'll be honest, I've played 2500 hours and never bothered to build the ship lol.

The endgame is pretty straightforward. Once your colony is stable and you're accumulating resources, it's only a matter of time before you launch your ship. So to me, there's little point racing to that ending. What makes the game more interesting to me is trying to keep everyone alive for as long as possible and watching a full-grown town blossom.

Do i ever have news for you.

The Biotech DLC has stuff like that, but you'd have to pay for it as you can imagine.

Biotech released in 2022, this thread and that post are from 2020.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
