Pawns keep flirting with married pawns

[Skullpunk]

I feel like its a bit weird that pawns just do this, one of my pawns has an unavoidable -14 from being rebuffed. is there a mod to stop this or restrict it to a trait or something?

Or you can set partners to unlimited with ideology.

Restrict to gender, accept only males or females...
Or having one male and the rest are females
I once have a colony with almost all females with one male only and I named him Tynan
Yeah lucky dude...

I've had an ideology with unlimited spouses and it was seriously annoying. They kept making up these weird polycules where colonist A was married to colonists B and C, but B wasn't married to C, so I had to constantly switch up who was sleeping in each bed to avoid the "I should be sleeping with my spouse" malus

There's no bed swapping required. In your example you just have one bedroom with two beds, put A and B in one bed and C in the other bed, done. Nobody gets the slept alone debuff, the room does not count as a barracks, everyone is happy in a relationship. C isn't getting any lovin' but there's no penalty for that and it's a lot better than C not being in a relationship and pestering A/B all day long.

tried this unlimited partners once... hell of fun... and amusingly easy to manage bedwise.

they all ended in the very same 9x9 barracs thes started in... and since nobody was capable of natural reproduction the IV Lab and Nursery was just next door.

only time hell broke loose was when a bi pawn joined and literally married EVERYONE within a year.

of course they were also the one who was blessed with some incurable condition to their brain.

(they are sleeping in the fridge since "the incident" and waits for a resurector serum.)

It's called realism.

In a universe with psychic powers, AI terminator-style killer robots, insects that have been genetically altered for the purpose of fighting aforementioned mechanoids, genetically engineered humans to the point where they don't even look human, bionic implants centuries beyond current technology levels, spacefaring technology that defies known science....
But you're gonna defend this as "realism".

So it's either fascism and segregation or mods.

Everything you said expect probably "Spacefaring technology" is potentially possible in real life. And there were inventions that defied science as you've said, look at the invention of the bicycle for instance.

I wouldn't say that, we don't know what is and isn't possible in this regard. While it definitely isn't possible with our current knowledge and understanding there's nothing saying that it is beyond our reach. We simply don't really know that much of matter and space actually. I mean we barely know or even have proof of dark matter and dark energy. There's so much undiscovered knowledge that might just seem completely understandable and explainable to our future descendants that they'll think of us as no more primitive than we think the medieval people were. It's probably a century or maybe two away from actually being realized though. That is assuming we actually get there without blowing ourselves up

I find asexual with no sleep work well toward this "problem".

That's right. The key to making a fun game is being selective with how realistically you portray the various aspects of it. Would Rimworld be fun if the insects were all pixel sized and completely harmless? No. Is it fun if pawns cheat on eachother, have breakdowns and end up massacring their neighbors as a result? Yes, it ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ is.

It's not rocket science, smh.

This happens in Real life as well...
