My nuggets will not reproduce

[SnowyJames2]

Ok, so i get onto my save with 350 nuggets on it and within 5 minutes i have already lost around 10 to 20 nuggets and this has been happening since modern (i'm in space age) and in modern i have around 600 nuggets but no matter what i try i cant get my nuggets to reproduce i do the trick where i look who's a boy and girl without a spouse so they make a baby but it doesn't work. Every 1 child that is created, 2 die off, I've researched every lifespan upgrade but they just constantly die plus there are barely any girls and boys that don't have a spouse so i may as well not try the spouse trick, so can please someone tell me how to fix this and for a cherry on top i need to build a military because i'm about to go to war, but i cant build up a military because there are no nuggets to make a military.

How do they view you? Evil or good? if they are unhappy and you are evil they will likely avoid reproducing.

[SnowyJames2]

They view me as good so i still don't know why they wont reproduce

I'm also really low on food so if you could also help me out on that i would much appreciate it.

make more cattle farms and put mammoths, i have like 8 or maybe a few more and that's enough for 1100 nuggets and excess, cattle farms are op, i'm not space age yet though so my cattle farms should be weaker

also need some farms (i think i have like 6) that make herbs to support them

did you research twin chance?
do you have garages up and running so there is less travel time?

i've never had it stop at 600 before, are your nuggets dying enmasse from lifespan or something else? 600 feels really low

anyways, in the modern age i usually research the cloning center and create a few Matenator trait nuggets and it booms my population by a few hundred, just make sure to pair them when you first get them at least once

not sure if this would help with mating, but placing the tent recreation (lizard candy, massage parlor, other names) lets nuggets restore stamina without going home and are just generally good to have spread out across your civ

if all else fails you can try cloning some highlanders (infinite lifespan, spreads disease super annoyingly) and then mating them to make more

Thank you so much, my population went down to 200 then after finishing everything it got boosted back up to 400! thank you so much.
